    Just have a look at the string splay on a Les Paul or even worse, on a Jackson with the old metal shape headstock! Nothing to worry about.

    My main PC is hardwired. It's so much better than wifi that at some point I'm going to hire a massive drill so I can go through a double layer wall (used to be an exterior one before an extension was built) to get a wired connection to my PS4. I use the PS4 for all all media in the lounge and although it's good with streamed video stuff it gets blockly occasionally.

    18 year olds with strong backs and more money than sense. I bet they are only built to order.

    Hey Mr FOH, can you put 10 mics on my cab please?

    With a sprinkle of Devin Townsend!

    I've started to learn that tune. It's brilliant.

    I just spotted that Hughes got invited for The Dead Daisies project for an album as singer / bassist. It's a great CD! Well worth a listen. I'm a big fan of the John Corabi Daisies albums but it's great to hear Hughes again.

    Thank you! My next appointment is in a week. If things are going well the splint will be off and I'll have to tape it during the day and splint at night. If that happens then apparently I'll be asked to start doing simple things with that hand / finger again. Typing / writing etc to get it moving a bit. Nothing heavy like lifting kettles with that hand though. My appreciation for pick playing has increased massively, but it still doesn't sound like me so I'm hoping after physio I'll be able to go back to playing fingerstyle. Although I have confirmed my past experience that I can play and sing at the same time with a pick but not with fingers. Weird!

    He told me that as well. I also asked him why his market research suggested such a heavy cab would sell in sufficient numbers in the modern lightweight cab world particularly after Darkglass had abandoned their heavy cabs after only a year.... and then pointed him to other similar sized cabs with better specs and only half the weight. Then I got blocked.

    I saw it on Facebook when it was launched and I asked a load of questions... until Thomas Eich blocked me. 11 stone for a cab. Bloody stupid.

    Still in the splint.

    I’ve tweaked the B3K a bit and now they are stacking wonderfully. It inspired me to write a new tune with the tone. Noice.

    Kytary has a "no UK deliveries" notice!

    Their website is sh1te. Often has broken or incorrect links. I've had good service from them but I also call to check specs on things before I buy.

    I had a Zon Hyperbass and regularly played it through a Roland Bass Cube.

    Decision made. I'm going to sell my Stingray 5 and get one of those fan fret Ibanez.

    Depends a lot on how the nut is cut in the first place. I've got a Fender which will take a 115 low string and it's never been modded, but my sandberg needed a bit of horizontal widening to get a 120 in the slot. It's not difficult to widen them yourself. The skill is is you need to cut depth and shape as well. But if you are just widening then do it in a gentle V shape - leaving the bottom of the nut alone. Can use a file, but depending on the nut material you can use a bit of old string as the file. Just gently move it back and forth and the nut will widen the perfect amount. When it reaches the bottom it will be the right shape as well. Just don't go any lower than it was. It won't stop still using it in E standard. Tension will hold the string at the bottom of the nut slot even going back to lighter strings. I haven't tried a 30 scale yet, but I have two 32 scales. One is in C standard and the other is a 5 string with a low B. They both work very well. I think you'll be fine with D tuning. As for floppiness - depends on the string brand and type. Some are fine being a tone lower and others end up floppier faster.

    Put a covered pickup in and you won't notice it any more?

    Don't know about EB flats, but some others like Rotos and La Bella have advice to not use through body stringing with them. I wouldn't risk it - flats are expensive! Mind you, I can't hear a difference in top and through anyway.

    Looks like it will be £949. I might have to save up. I've been impressed with the 32 scale low B on my Mezzo so I expect this to be just as good, with the added benefit of using any strings I feel like! https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/ehb1005sms_1p_01.html They also have a 30 scale 4 string on the site. https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/ehb1000s_1p_01.html

    If the modelling amp has a headphone out use that into the FX loop return of your big amp. Do NOT connect a speaker out into an input on another amp.

    Ibby now have a 30-32 fan fret!
