I would have walked at ‘blues/rock’, or if not then, then definitely at ‘3 guitarists’! 😄

Wow, it’s all downhill from here though ☹️ -

Higher gain at the front end increases the level through the rest of the circuit and gives a better signal to noise ratio. I prefer to run the Gain as high as I can and leave the Master as low as I can get away with.

When soldering to the back of a potentiometer use a light abrasive (sandpaper, larks’ tongues etc…) to remove the coating on the metal and make it easier to solder to. When soldering the wire to the lug of the potentiometer use a small crocodile clip as a heat-sink to avoid overheating and damaging the insides.

Nirvana live at Reading. Superb!

I was about to suggest the VHS plugin, but I’m late to the party again. It’s really useful on your master bus and will even give you emulations to f common studio speakers if that’s what you’re used to.

And very good it is too - the fizz that the blend control isn’t really to my liking but the sweepable mods more than make up for it. I removed the two red clipping LEDs from that part of the circuit and it was much more useable!

Good luck Andy. I was once told that you should never go into a meeting without knowing exactly what you want out of it, so take the time between now and then to seriously consider what that is; know what you’re prepared to compromise on, and by how much, and perhaps more importantly know where your line in the sand is and stick to it.

Sire U5 - odd tuning instability on E string (video)

This ^ pickup being too close to the string is the most likely culprit. -
Has anyone ever played a Hohner fretless Jazz ? I had one years ago and sold but I kind of miss it; it sounded amazing but was as heavy as a boat anchor!

I thought about getting a double bass, but what with the price of Mr Sheen / Pledge these days I’m not sure I can afford the upkeep. ☹️

Just a thought, should we not have a category for ‘Heft’?

I mark out a template on graph paper, then tape it to the enclosure. Next I centre punch where the holes should be and then pilot drill with a small (like, 1.5 to 2mm) drill. Finally I'll go in with the stepper bit to get the holes to size.

The vast majority of my playing is done on my fretless, but when needs must I’ve got a couple of others with those speed bumps on.

Soz for the typo! 🫣

Thing is, Ozzy doesn’t have to find £200M for a divorce settlement, the same cannot be said for Noel…

One of my son’s friends lives closer to the stage than about half of the folks who have shelled out for tickets. 😄

Great IEM setup - I use exactly the same kit myself
