Thumb behind second finger is more like upright bass positioning but can cause problems on bass IME. Seems like you're on the right track now though.

Also take a look at your finger movement - is there any extra unnecessary motion? Are you hitting the strings harder than necessary? The more efficiently your hands move, the easier it is to speed up. Don't be afraid to play with a lighter touch and turn the gain up to compensate, if needed.

Sadowsky Metro Express (cheaper) or Lakland Skyline? Or the fancy Cort ones. Tbh I wouldn't buy a new £1200 Jazz though, as that puts you into seriously nice bass territory s/h.

And they're about 90 quid s/h

Peavey Milestone if you can find one of the P versions.

😍 All pointy guitars should come with metal-shod tips

Very nice! Arch top + gut cut fixes my complaints about the standard LP shape. Possibly, or it might just be how it's intonated -- the nominal scale length would be the distance from the nut to the 12th fret x2.

If you've not noticed any issues I wouldn't worry about it 🤷‍♀️

It also removes a point of differentiation between the Metro Express line and the next line up (German Metros?)

Is it a drop-in replacement? I opportunistically upgraded my ME with the higher end Sadowsky pickups and found that the differences were very small.

Yeah, although it still requires routing the top so probably not one for your Sunday best Fodera.

I missed a gig because I was so excited to see double bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer that I forgot we were meant to be playing the same night. Also had a near miss when the dodgy van the keys player's dad was driving us in got a flat somewhere between Glasgow and Perth... fortunately he had a tin of sealant and we made it in the end.

Very nice, much more balanced body shape than most Foderas imho.

You can check whether your email has been leaked in a previous breach on https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Spoiler: it probably has.

Nope, treat them like cattle not pets.

B dorian might have the same notes as A major but it's not harmonically the same -- e.g. a B dorian line will probably be trying to resolve to the B tonic, which can create a tension (playing "outside", in jazz terms), although not as much as playing a line with notes from outside the scale. The exact point at which it switches from "playing a line in A major" to "playing a line in B dorian" is fuzzy, there's hundreds of years of theoretical analysis dedicated to unpicking that sort of thing.

This is why I have a small tin of lighter fluid in the cupboard. Been a while since I've had to deal with any real filth though, fortunately.

These look very cool but trying to read that website makes me feel like I'm having a stroke

Do a Metro Express m5-24 you cowards

My old version of EZDrummer includes notes for left and right for kick and snare in its MIDI mapping, although I'm not convinced they actually trigger anything differently.

Less so on BC, but when selling locally (Gumtree etc) I always price a bit higher so when the inevitable lowball offers roll in they're closer to what I really want...

I'd guess the switches are on/off per pickup, and a coil split on the push pull? Never seen a superstrat without a 3/5 way pickup selector before.

White works better here imo, the red tort gets a bit lost.

Ha, there was a related billboard ad from around the same time with the strapline "cheer up goth, have an Irn Bru" which is a favourite of mine 😅
