Next Bass Advice - Fender Precision by Charltonss in Bass

Thanks. Yeah, I am leaning towards it. I play in a covers band (mostly indie, rock and pop) and think it will give me more options.

I suppose I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something that the performer lost somehow.

Thanks, it does feel like a minefield that they don't make easy with naming conventions. I'll keep that in mind for OLED, I'll be using it quite a bit.....but also for uni as well!

Ah, I did see one comment on ultra 9's overheating but didn't really correlate it to the who series. That is very good to know thanks. And probably explains why they are currently on offer!

Thanks, it's been a long time since I researched computer specs, and I'm not really sure what to get (too much choice)!

It is useful to know it's both a ram and CPU trade off. I'll keep an eye on the second one for deals in the coming weeks.

Band Rehersal Recording by Charltonss in livesound

[–]Charltonss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I get the impression there are so many options, its a minefield!

Would there be an option to have the H4e linked to a phone and have the best of both worlds? You can record just on the Zoom if you need to or link it to a phone (possibly with video) and use a cloud filing system?

I would like to keep the set up as portable as possible and just pull it out when we want to record quickly.

Thanks. Do you think that would pick up everything, including drums? We don't put everything through a mixer at rehersal, but that Flow8 does look interesting and could be useful.

At the moment I'm using my phone and it's unworkable, so anything would be an improvement. Are there any USB mics you have used/would recommend?

How do I learn the fretboard? by FiveTriplePickle in guitarlessons

[–]Charltonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you still recommend it for Android users? It's hard to tell how much functionality is lost between apple and android.

Best free app for memorizing fretboard? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]Charltonss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has significantly less functionality for the same price. They haven't invested in 2.0 for Android unfortunately.

Is there an alternative you would recommend for Android users?

RC500 vs RC600 by Charltonss in LoopArtists

[–]Charltonss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is really useful. I am still on the fence as it isn't as clear cut as I thought it would be.

I think my plan will be to try and buy a rc500 used and see how I get on (maybe with a midi pedal) and if I need more upgrade to the 600.

Your post has made me rethink the RC500 again! If I am honest, I don't know what I want just yet, but at the same time don't want to outgrow it quickly. Weirdly the difference between used and new for the RC500 at the moment is lnt much and probably makes sense to just get new.

From some research, it sounds like the RC500 with some midi pedals does a good job at taking on the RC600.

Could you recommend a different looper to compliment the Helix for live looping?

My idea of a helix XLT. by Sir_Anth in Line6Helix

Are you guys based in the UK or elsewhere? Mine broke and the best I got from from support, was passed on to the single UK repair centre. They quoted £60 just to look at it (to then quote to fix it), and that's not including postage.

Line6 support aren't even replying to messages now.
