  1. I've had it for years in both ears. You get used to it. Unfortunately, it will mask the pitches that match your buzzing/ringing, so you have to recognize that. I recently had a nurse tell me that ibuprofen and similar drugs make it worse - something to do with thinning the blood. Just a rumor. I've tried to notice whether that makes any difference for me but usually forget. Definitely find a system of ear protection that works for you. It's been a long quest for me. Now I mostly avoid loud musicians...
  2. I use the bass version of this with my Gold Tone Microbass. Roland Micro Cube I'm very happy with it and it seems to tick most of your boxes. I know Roland is not well regarded for keyboard amplification but seems to be good at this job.

  4. Just started using My Lyric Book and like it so far. Sounds like it might fit your needs. Only comes for Apple, not Android. You can set it to not time out when viewing a song sheet. It doesn't seem to use much battery. I used it for a 3hr gig without draining it much on an iPad mini. http://www.dctsystems.co.uk/Software/My_Lyric_Book/Welcome.html
  5. Yes, I understand all the history of the song and the band. But, the fans wouldn't let them quit flying the flag. Plus they've been adopted by racist groups over the years, including today's white nationalists. So if the song isn't actually racist and the band isn't racist, but a strong contingent of their fans are, where does that leave you? Maybe we are being too sensitive. But the Confederate flag is still a potent symbol, perhaps more so now than it was in the 70s. I didn't intend to hijack the thread. I'll stop now.
  6. So, Outkaster, would you decline to play Sweet Home Alabama? Or is the song/band OK as long as you're not flying the flag?
  7. I've been struggling with a different, but similar question - the racism of southern rock in general and Skynyrd in particular. I'm in a new band and Skynyrd songs are starting to creep onto the set list. We could debate the lyrics to Sweet Home Alabama endlessly, and many have. So, in and of themselves, the lyrics/songs may not be racist. But the songs and the groups have been adopted by those that are. Does that mean I shouldn't play them, as a person that doesn't want anything to do with racism? As I say, I'm struggling with this.
