Hi @TigerPhoenix welcome, and as others have said, great venture, good luck with it, keep us posted 👍

First and last words are not often seen in the same sentence, glad to hear in this case they belonged together

This was the thread about the rehearsal room Ashdown that also surprised me

That's a hell of a rig for a studio 👍

Ha ha, I very nearly said just the same yesterday, one low-talent/high-ego member is manageable, but four of them.........

Fixed it for you 👍

Jeez that was really quite pretentious wasn’t it 😂

My take on string selection is that they’re one component of a tripartite system - strings, instrument, player. I love Gamuts on my 4/4, and if I play my Evahs the same way on the same instrument they don’t work for me. But if I back right off on the Evahs and use more pad and less bone in the finger, I can get close(r) to that lovely airy tone. I don’t think there’ one string to rule them all, just a moving triangle of parameters 👍

Agreed, I've been in a lot of bands, and have fallen out with a lot of people in them - some of who I'm still great friends with and with who we still occasionally have a damn good laugh about it all, a couple of others I never spoke to again - and as the result have left a lot of bands over the years and also seen many others leave. But I've never been sacked and never sacked anyone, just seems an odd thing to do in a band....

Most of which, among decent people, are the cue for a grown-up conversation and an amicable - or at least civil - parting of the ways, not a sacking. Perhaps it's semantics?
