Nope. Widdly widdly saxophone is strangely compelling though.

the only thing worse than knowing is not knowing. Give it a go dude.

That neck joint though!!!! -

Agreed, Time’s Up is a KILLER album!! -

Face Pollution - Soundgarden

Depping for a wedding do - upstairs in a converted barn with really appalling acoustics. Good giggle with a good bunch of lads but we were fighting the room from start to finish.

Fret buzz on A and D strings 3rd fret only
paul_5 replied to Jimothey's topic in Repairs and Technical
sounds like it could be a slightly proud 4th fret - fret a note at the third fret and see how much of a gap there is at the 4th fret, I"ll bet it's not enough. -
I am a rock - S&G

Eddie Van Haley famously played to solo yo ‘Beat It’ for free. Presumably being in tune costs extra.

It’s Oh So Quiet - Björk

Sale of the Century - Sleeper

I’d just wire them in series instead of parallel - like a Jazz bass on steroids.

TC Electronic Spark booster or the Caline Orange Boost are my choices for 'cheap and best' drive units.

This ^. It always amazes me when I see guitarist boards with literally thousands of pounds worth of boutique pedals and most of the time they're tied together with the cheapest, nastiest patch cables known to man.

Well, they didn't do that when I last went to a gig....

Yes, but the downside to being a ‘more experienced concert attendee’ is that the rest of the bands I want to see are either dead or dying. -
That’s what I thought. If it’s behaving like a linear taper then we’d need to see the diagram.
-
If the volume is acting like an on/off switch then it sounds like the volume pot has a linear taper instead of logarithmic. Can you measure the pot taper with a multimeter? Also, do you have a copy of your wiring diagram?
-
I quite like the look of that, all apart from that ridiculous 3 point bridge.

Worst cover version (by competent musicians)
paul_5 replied to Nail Soup's topic in General Discussion
I disagree. It’s a given that anyone taking on Bowie tracks is always going to contentious, but there are far, far worse from that album. -
Nice bass, sorry for your loss 😢
-
Name and shame dude.

I much prefer the EHX one, but does require a lead and, unless you have a small mixer, there’s no way to practice along with backing tracks. I suppose if you’ve got a small mixer then we wouldn’t bd having this conversation….
