    I can't. We have used that app ourselves and promptly removed it too. I would be interested to here of anything else... although the Events app seems to work quite well.

    Key Changes in a Blues

    Hey guys, Thanks for all the help so far... What I wanted to go for was an instrumental piece with a fairly simple groove, with the harmonica player blowing away on the E sections (probably 2 choruses at the start of the tune), then shifting gears as the guitar player solos over the key...

    Key Changes in a Blues

    Hi guys, I wonder if you can help me.. my theory isn't great and I'm trying to write a blues tune that changes keys several times after a 12 bar (I-IV-V) verse, and then resolves back to the original key. Using the IV chord I have made the keys changes like this: Verse 1 = 12 bar in E...

    A bass for all styles? Help me....

    I have a G&L L-2500 and it cops a lot of tones, but she's bloody heavy. If your playing 3-4 hours, she might not be the bass your looking for... something 'light' and a good strap is in order.

    Newbie question: Ampeg BA-115 seems too quiet?

    Sorry, I can't comment if your amp is broken or not, although it sounds like it is given the comments from greater brains than mine. I have one of these too (with the "tweeter mod"), and agree that it is a little soft, but it's great for practice. When we rehearse, or play small cafe type gigs...

    Lakland Quality debates...REALLY?!?!

    I can't comment about recently made Laklands, but I bought a Lakland 44-02 when I was in the UK, came upon hard time and had to seel her... I have regreted it everyday :bawl:. Hands down the best bass I have ever owned. I hope to afford another one someday.

    HD Digital Video Recorder w/Good Audio

    I am one of the others that will recommend Zoom. We have had good results both indoors and outdoors with the Zoom Q3. The sound quality is very good but, I do agree that the video quality isn't the best in low light. I have just this week upgraded to the Zoom Q3HD, and it is on it's way, so...

    Help. Dead Bass...

    Everything checked out with the meter... couldn't find anything obviously wrong with the circut. We have decided to change out the pots to see if that fixes things. If not, we are going to change the pick-up. If it comes to that... can anyone recomend a pick-up that will make me sound like...

    Help. Dead Bass...

    Thanks Ken... but it's certainly not the cable. Yes, I used several cables (I have a stash of them in my kit bag) and swapped them several times... even tried the orginal lead from the guitar players guitar to his amp, and it was all fine. The jack also appears to make good contact with all...
