    Adding an aftermarket brass-colored pickguard can indeed give a P-Bass a unique and eye-catching look, but as you mentioned, there are plenty of other options for pickguard materials and colors that can also look great.

    Just keep on playing and wait for calluses to grow.

    The Pagelli Goldbass is indeed a stunning instrument! With its exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, it's no wonder it's considered one of the most beautiful instruments ever made. The combination of premium materials, meticulous design, and superb sound quality elevates it to a work of art.

    It sounds like the CK has a bit of an edge with its tonewheel organ, while the Vox shines with its clav/EPs and superior piano playability. The versatility of the CK's sound set, especially with banjo, harmonica, and solo violin/fiddle, makes it a winner for country tunes.

    It's a good thing they allow you us to import MIDI from another tool.

    The metal enclosure and the absence of drum pads suggest a different focus, but I'm curious about the drum aspects.

    Do some of you also play traditional irish/african drums?

    Managing cables for MIDI, V-Drums, and your Ampeg amp to two-way cabinets can be a bit of a puzzle, but it's part of the fun in creating a well-tailored sound system.

    To achieve the electronic drum sequences and rap-esque vocals, you might consider using a MIDI controller or a pad trigger system alongside a sampler or a digital audio workstation (DAW).

    Considering your concern about the potential marring of the wood floor, a practical solution might be to use pads that allow you to extend the spikes without causing damage. There are specialized drum or percussion mats available that provide both stability and floor protection. These mats often have a non-slip surface on one side and are designed to absorb impact and vibrations.

    It's interesting to find out about the varying perceptions of solo performances on different instruments.

    Thanks for sharing your insights on the Fantom. It's always valuable to get firsthand perspectives. As an amateur bodhran player, I'm particularly intrigued by the idea of incorporating electronic elements into my music. Your input is much appreciated, and it provides valuable considerations for someone like me venturing into the electronic side of music. If you have any specific recommendations or thoughts on how the Fantom could complement traditional instruments like the bodhran, I'd love to hear them.

    It's great that despite these, you still found it worthwhile to add to your collection. And contemplating going all virtual with plugins speaks volumes about their continuous improvement.

    You're right about the multiple auxes in the mixer domain, particularly valuable for personalized monitoring feeds in various scenarios.

    Your Zoom L20 setup sounds like a game-changer, especially with 18 independent inputs – perfect for capturing the dynamic energy of a 7-person covers band. The convenience of recording directly onto an SD card for easy post-gig mixing is a feature any musician would appreciate. I'm curious however if a cheering crowd in the back ground ever make it to the post-gig record of a mic'd up drum set.

    Considering your preferences, you might want to check out the Zoom LiveTrak L-12. It has straightforward recording to SD card, USB connectivity, and onboard effects including reverb.

    The distinctive pull on the beat in old-school country does give it a unique feel, and it can be tricky to stay locked into that groove consistently. It's all about finding that sweet spot between concentration and letting loose. Don't be too hard on yourself – it's a journey, and every genre has its own nuances.

    The flexibility of the modulation scheme and the matrix modulation capabilities were definitely ahead of their time. It's amazing how technology has evolved in the world of synthesizers.

    How was the drum kit? Does it also include traditional drums like bodhran, taigo, & dabrukha.
  20. murphybridget
    I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you faced at the recent gig. Soundcheck stress and internal band issues can definitely take away from the joy of playing music. It sounds like you've dedicated a significant part of your life to contradances, and the frustrations with pay and effort are understandable. Your perspective about the value of your time and effort is valid.

    That's some treasure you found sir.
  22. murphybridget
    I've heard that they are an excellent piece of equipment. Have you tried using those yourself?
  23. murphybridget
    Thrift store are great place to find treasured items such as rare collectibles and custom musical instruments don't you guys think?

    That remix project with George Toledo sounds awesome. I agree, it would be super cool if Peter Gabriel did something similar, letting people go wild with his tracks.
  25. murphybridget
    Sounds just about right.
