No they don't but you can do what I did by getting a Shuttlemax 9.2 which is a twin channel head, one FET and one tube,basically a 900 watt version of the shuttle 3.0. I've got a 3.0 a 6.0 and the 9.2 Max, I think the 3.0 sounds the best! Tubes and heft?, meh

I think any Wal would do the same thing though? I'm not sure I'd pay any extra for it as he's not seen playing it much although that hasn't stopped Fender releasing the stack knob that he hasn't played for ages as his sig model. I'd probably buy a five string version of the FendeRay he currently plays live if they released that.

Excellent, enjoy

As a serial British Leyland botherer I have to combine imperial, metric whitworth, unf & unc etc and all on one car! Good old British engineering

[quote name='davepb24' timestamp='1495817019' post='3306867'] I live round the corner from the Acorn/Church Tavern...new paint job, new chairs, new name...same old people. The one local place I won't set foot in [/quote] I suspected that might be the case, do they still have bands?

[quote name='jrixn1' timestamp='1495814800' post='3306846'] Yes - I used to play there about 15 years ago. We didn't get paid much, and had to buy our own soft drinks. It was nearly always empty, apart from a few drunks. The ceiling on stage was lower than the height of my double bass... The bouncer was a moron. We would go outside between sets to get some air, informing him on our way out who we were and what we were doing. But nevertheless, upon returning, he would never let us back in! [/quote] He'd heard your first set

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1495642150' post='3305558'] There's only a few instruments that I would have a big interest in their auction price... And thats - Brian May's original Red Special Macca's Hofner (both current and the original stolen one (although this one has significantly less history)) Macca's LH '59 LP Anybody want to add any extras to the list...? [/quote] Not on the same league but I wouldn't mind Tim Commerford's Stingray bitsa with the badass bridge, an iconic sound from an iconic album.

Ha, I still can't handle imperial measurements even after years of old car tinkering!

I'd probably get away with a Dan Armstrong plexiglass as long as the lighting wasn't too bright

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/pub-loses-licence-over-fights-11855564 Found this about The Acorn, it's now called the church tavern I'd imagine its still a dump?

I hold down first fret with one hand and 15th fret with my thumb on my other and leave just enough relief at the twelfth fret to be able to make the string ring out with a tap of the string with my first finger, once set I adjust the string height to a 2.5mm Allen key thickness between the 12th fret and the underside of each string.

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1495662612' post='3305765'] cheeky! more fine tuner (honest!) [/quote]

Ha, all the strip lights turned on as you played whilst the police walked around to see which 'regulars' were in was always fun, I heard a band stopped once during the police check and all hell let loose? Ahhh Erdington

[quote name='KingPrawn' timestamp='1495650625' post='3305648'] How did you ever fit in there? I've played trad Irish nights there. It's quite an experience [/quote] It was The Acorn, oak trees and acorns must have been my confusion! Total sh*t hole.

[quote name='KingPrawn' timestamp='1495650625' post='3305648'] How did you ever fit in there? I've played trad Irish nights there. It's quite an experience [/quote] Maybe not the Royal Oak then? Quite a big place with the toilets entirely clad in chequer plate metal for easy blood swilling! I'm trying to find it on the map but I think it might have gone, it was in the centre in a typical 60s building?

We banned ourselves from the Royal Oak (I think?) in Erdington, all our friends band's had their cars damaged outside and or a bar fight during the gig, we played there twice without a problem and decided the chances of playing a third without a serious issue was slim!

Ah a knob twiddler

You can also set yourself an individual layer on your tablet rather than view the entire band to use during the gig if you want.

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1495572520' post='3305031'] would be interesting trying to tweak your sound on the fly going direct into the X18, the interface on a tablet is tricky as f**k, I'll stick with my DI box thanks! [/quote] What would you be tweaking? Once the in ears he is using are set and the foh is mixed there shouldn't be any on the fly really should there?

I did a gig last year with no monitoring at all for the first 7 or 8 songs, when I say no monitoring I'm taking no bass amp, no guitar amp and no wedges (which were going to be our sole monitoring), nothing for vocals at all! Oh dear that was tricky

I got mine purely as a replacement five string version of my pre EB Ray, it's the closest thing with five strings, I haven't noticed any difference in neck profiles between the three SR5s I've got? My middle aged spread is taking shape nicely too

[quote name='Cairobill' timestamp='1495544391' post='3304605'] I'll add my vote to say get a Stingray Classic fiver - they sound amazing and look fab. Beautifully built too... [/quote] Already done it [URL=http://s997.photobucket.com/user/stingraypete/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-07/20140730_173849_zpsnblgtvmm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-07/20140730_173849_zpsnblgtvmm.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

You could if you really wanted to just put a normal cigarette box sized di inline if you wanted.

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1495557799' post='3304816'] But you can filter some noises with a DI box. [/quote] I suspect an xair mixer can do about a gazillion things more than a di box! It's got a built in bass amp, compressors, fx and a 31 band eq just for starters
