Ok, granted I am no connoisseur and I should really try some different ones, I just gravitate to 'Angostura 1919' if its rum. Thats done it for me for decades (which reminds me I need to stock a bottle at home again). But to be honest, my poison of choice is Scotch and Coconut water any day. Most people who have not grown up on that seem not to like it and give me funny looks, but hands down I will take that any time (caveat though...sorry, the coconut water we get in the UK that comes from Thailand and Asia etc just does not taste the same as coconuts from the Caribbean).

Of course I have to ask, what does the one-knob red star do?

It would still rock if you put four feet on it. It would be stable if you put three feet on it.

BTW, you can get a nice cheap case for them: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395605108359 There's loads of the same case on Ebay.

It's not a serious issue. I leave Bluetooth on on my phone as I've got an unfitness tracker which is handy for relaying notifications. If I want to send music to the Neo from a different device, I have to switch Bluetooth off on the phone, then switch the Neo on and then do a connect from the other device (doesn't need to be re-paired, it shows on the paired devices list). It's really nice not having to fight with headphone cables (Katana Go, Nux Mighty Plug).

She seems to be doing her research but ask/suggest that her next step is to go for a digital mixer. My preferenmce is for a stagebox mixer like the behringer XR18 or the Allen and Heath CQ20 Unless you have a sound engineer it's easier to mix with an Ipad or other tablet so a stage-box works well. The Behringer has software that is a bit glitchy and moderately complex but is uber-flexible, the Allen and Heath is still flexible but has more intuitive software. Both are well loved by users and open up the possibility of multi-track recording at gigs or in the recording studio. Digital mixers will give you far more control over your sound with lots of studio quality sound shaping and fx, once you are used to them they are easier to control than the anologue equivalents, take up less space and best of all you can save and recall your best settings at will. Lots of discussion here For you however the big plus would be that a digital mixer offers up to six separate monitor mixes for your in-ears so you won't have to share a mix and all of you will be able to adjust the mix individually. PS if you want the simplest of mixers I noticed Thomann have a b-stock one of these RCF M18 which is what I use. RCF have discontinued them but they have the advantage that they are designed for semi-pro live bands. The control software is superb and really intuitive so there is next to no learning curve M18

I've just bought the Squier Affinity active and its sensational for the money!

Yazz and the recycled plastic population

I was in Glasgow this weekend, and as is customary a trip to the various guitar shops was in order. First visit was Merchant City Music. I'm OK with my Reverend Triad, but I gave a Squier Rascal a go. I'm not generally a fan of short scales, but the Rascal wasn't awful. What helps it is the geometry - the bridge being away from the body edge by a few inches moves fret 1 more into the position where I would expect it. But sonically I'm still not convinced that the Wide Range humbuckers are the pickups for me. Anyhoo, on to Guitarguitar. Tried a couple of Ashdowns - they were OK but the one with the single, central humbucker was a bit woofy sounding for my liking, and the bridge pickup on the PJ one was so noisy, it really put me off. Nice feeling necks, interesting looks, but again wasn't doing it for the old lugholes. Then I spotted a second hand bass on the wall, an example of which I had previously owned and sold, but in a more interesting finish than the one I had (which was white with plain black pickguard). I guess because G&L seem to be off the radar of most folk at the moment it was priced very keenly. In almost as new condition - the film hadn't been taken off the pickguard - the only blemish is a small finish chip at the bottom/back of the body. A quick razz with it, nostalgia kicked in and I caved. Does anyone like these shaggy dog stories? Or do you just want the pics? You know the drill with these - Split and single MFDs, two volume controls, that's it. I'm very happy to have an SB-2 again, that'll hopefully stave off any thoughts of getting an SB-1... Guess I should really sell something now
