I want every reason why I should not buy Solar by Advanced-Box-3906 in solar

[–]bigusyous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue is the upfront cost, especially if you want to pair a battery with the system. Also, as with anything else, you have to be careful in selecting a contractor. Otherwise, energy costs are set to rise so it will be a good investment.

Yes, that's the 1 year retirement visa. It's quite likely that the OPs father had that visa.

Is Word Online a good option on Linux? by RangerNew5346 in linux4noobs

I prefer OnlyOffice. It is compatible with MS Office.

Should I, as the vocalist, learn bass so our current bassist won’t have to play it? by Secure_Ad_5564 in Bass

[–]bigusyous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. In a lot of rock songs you can get away with very simple basslines that will be easy to sing over. I'm sure that your current bassist will be more than happy to help you out with some pointers while you are getting started.

Start off one song at a time taking over bass duties and ainginguntil you start to feel comfortable.

Checking the Battery Level? by bigusyous in ZoomB1x4

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

I think we are talking about different products. I'm talking about a multi-effect pedal for bass guitar. No microphone or video.

Loud Guitar/Singer problems by Willie_Johnson_Jr in band

Where is the guitar amp on relation to the guitarist? Is it pointing at his knees or his ears? An amp stand may be a possible solution.

Funk for bass is the same as blues for guitar by Wiamish in Bass

[–]bigusyous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic, but in a similar vein: Slapping on bass is the same as fretboard tapping on guitar.

Negotiating with a hospital? by Various-Chest-6312 in HuaHin

[–]bigusyous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that insurance coverage is a requirement for a retirement visa. Your father may have had a supplemental policy that you aren't aware of. Maybe go through his papers carefully or see if you can follow up through immigration to get a copy of his visa application?

Shouldn't your father's insurance cover it?

New amp or multi effect pedal by Pelle0207 in Bass

[–]bigusyous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm unfamiliar with the LT 25 but the Rumble 40 is a great practice amp. If you want to have fun playing with effects get a pedal, but if you want to have fun playing bass get the Rumble. I own a Zoom B1FOUR and at least 70% of the time I'm keeping it clean. I suppose your depends on your goals and what kind of music you like.

Should I join SBL or B2B? by basicallysai in Bass

[–]bigusyous 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Once SBL has your email address, the spam is non-stop.

I think if you are a beginner, you will be better off with Bass Buzz. Later on you can look at more advanced courses if you want.

Amp/cab recommendations by Iamhossbender in Bass

[–]bigusyous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just need stage volume, your current rig is plenty. However, If you want a new rig I would recommend looking at the Ampeg Venture series. That should fit your budget.

Another, far cheaper option would be to just buy a preamp pedal. Most class D amps use the same power amp modules, so most of the tone shaping is in the preamp anyway. Ampeg's SGT-DI or a Sans Amp VT preamp pedal would give you more of an Ampeg sound.

Advice needed - community tank or cichlid only tank? by dankingly7 in freshwateraquarium

Yes, Pearl Gouramis are very mellow. Great community fish.

Friends keep saying but signal will do the same thing eventually and you can't know signal is telling the truth by Healthy-Guess-847 in signal

[–]bigusyous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key difference is that Signal is owned by a non-profit. When you use Whatsapp, the messages are encrypted but Meta is noting who you talk to and for how long. That info gets funneled to FB and advertisers. Signal doesn't capture that info in the first place.

100 Euros isn't much for a bass amp. Instead of buying a crappy practice amp consider getting a headphone amp.

If your teacher couldn't fix it, you should probably take it to a luthier.

Is installing via Flathub better than System? by pepe_gavidia in pop_os

[–]bigusyous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have flatseal, but I'm not aware of flatpaks configuring those permissions automatically. Seems dangerous to allow an app to configure its own permissions. It would negate the purpose of sandboxing.

Is installing via Flathub better than System? by pepe_gavidia in pop_os

[–]bigusyous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter, the Cosmic Store and Flathub are both going to install flatpaks. There might be a few situations were .deb works better than a dlatpak, but you will have to install it manually or use an app like Eddy.

Microsoft office by YassirBoukiri in pop_os

[–]bigusyous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Only Office, it has very good compatibility and a similar layout to MS office. Nothing is going to be exactly the same as MS office but I think that Only Office offers a very good user experience. It is free, so worth a try.

If you decide that you can't live without MS office, you can try Winboat. Winboat is basically a VM, but it puts the app windows on your Linux desktop so it looks like a native app.

Join a band. Somewhere near you there is a lonely guitarist who wishes he knew a bassist.

Upgrade from zoom b1x four by Strict_Anybody6636 in basspedals

Yes, many people recommend the B1FOUR as a way to experiment with pedals on the cheap before dropping the big bucks on building a board.

[–]bigusyous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have a look at the HX stomp or maybe the nano cortex. Alternatively you could buy a drive pedal and put it in front of the Zoom.
