    Hey DirtDog, I like it a lot! had it for about four years. I especially like using two channels to track my 4001's Rick-O-Sound output! DBassMan8^)

    Making the 1x15" sound more articulate?

    Perhaps I am old school, but I like the amount of air a 15" can move. One 15 for small to medium gigs, two for larger... PS it helps to run a Ric through it!!

    Thinking about purchasing a condenser mic for bluegrass/acoustic

    A number of years ago I saw Bela Fleck at an outdoor venue... Villa Montalvo, in California. They were using AKGs and Shure KSM32s all over the place... The KSM32 is a cardiod single pattern. I've used it in live situations for vocals, acoustic instruments, horns and overheads with great...

    Running a DAW live?

    I couldn't agree more about going digital, reducing outboard gear and getting the most out of your rig. That's why I'm trying out the presonus... all the processing is done in the box, powered mains and monitors. Standard snakes for now, but as budget permits, digital snakes are cool...

    Running a DAW live?

    I've been doing live sound and recordings for a while. From back in the day when a mono or stereo mix went to a reel to reel or cassette machine. Undoubtedly an outdoor gig turned out better. A number of years ago I got a presonus firepod and more recently daisy chained it with a fire studio...

    Carol Kaye and why we need help protecting our stuff....

    I got to meet Carol at a high school bass clinic around '73. I didn't feel so bad about using a pick after watching and hearing her rip on the bass!! :bassist: Just ordered some stuff I should have gotten years ago!! Cheers to Carol! Dave

    Garageband transcription function

    Logic can analyze audio and turn it into a midi part, and hence a score as well. I'm pretty sure sibelius has this function as well. You can bet that both of these methods will need you to go in afterwards and edit any mistakes its made. Thanks for the comment! I haven't tried that in logic...

    Garageband transcription function

    True I haven't tried it myself, but it would be cool for writing bass lines! Logic does pretty cool scoring from midi. Cheers!

    You need a midi pickup system... http://www.roland.com/products/en/GK-3B/ Then you can convert the midi to a virtual instrument... Cheers!

    Power - Operating off a gas generator???

    I read through a bunch of threads here on generator power and was a bit concerned... I ended up borrowing a Kawasaki GE500AS from a friend. Ran a 12Guage 50' cord and pounded a spike into the ground. Also had a couple of 100W flood lights for a load before powering up the gear. Ran from about...

    You ever turn a screw up into a solo?

    When the "look" happens, and we all get it from time to time, we call it the "stink eye" lol! And yes, pretend to mean it. A band teacher once said, "blow every note through your horn, even if it's the wrong note." cheers!

    Flatwounds for the first time! Wow!

    I have flats on my 65 EB-O, rounds on my fiver and just put chromes on my Ric. I've run Roto 77's .110 and thought I could reduce tension a bit. As I've read here on TB, they are quite bright right now, but that is way cool on the Ric because you can balance the bridge and neck pup volume and...

    What to do when they turn the lights out

    Yes playing without looking is the goal! The clip on LED is an inexpensive solution. And yes, stage lighting is a big help. Does your band carry lighting to gigs?

    What to do when they turn the lights out

    We had a good show tonight for a fundraiser but when they turned off the lights I could not see my fretboard! They eventually got a bare bulb on the other side of the drummer which helped a bit. I'm thinking about using some white out to make my dots stand out more in dark situations. I bet...

    "Check In" here before and after your gigs, Set #2, the sequel!

    Hey There, We're playing for a percentage of the bar tonight... We've invited a bunch of folks and hope to rock the house! It will be interesting to see how playing older tunes works out to keep them dancing and drinking!

    What was your first amp (old guys only)

    My first amp was taken from an old Capehart AM/FM/SW radio. The speaker was a 12" that had no magnet, but instead, used a field coil to provide the magnetism for the voice coil. I built a 1/2" plywood box for the amp and similar material for the speaker cab (which didn't hold together very...

    Do you ever feel like your gear is way too good for you?

    Many moons ago I bought a '71 Martin D-35 for $600... It needed a little work that I couldn't afford so I traded it for a rig... I felt the guitar player would use it way more than me! Link Removed

    Confessions of a flatwound convert pt 2.

    Hey I've been running Blue Steels 105 on my 4001 fore a couple of years and just put Roto 77s 110 on to see how they fit for 50's and 60's stuff. I think I may go to a lighter gauge but will report back after I get to play with them a while.
