  1. Close your eyes or look away from it and do your settings by ear, not with your eyes.
  2. I'd go natural, rosewood board, chrome hardware, black plate - just like 'Nards one. And the SLO neck profile. $2999 which is about £2377 today + shipping + vat = about £2971.
  3. I got mine from Thomann. Doesn't look like they stock them anymore though. Maybe email the manufacturer?
  4. My last gig was pretty much sitting (jazz) unless I was having to balance on 2inch square of stage. For a more active band I think I'd want a chair that I could get up from when I felt good enough for it. If the set is planned in a fairly conventional way - first 3 tunes being high tempo, then next 2-3 a bit slower etc etc then I'd probably stand for the first ones, then sit down for a bit - maybe even up to the finale. But that depends on the extent of injuries of course.
  5. I have one of those. I used it a lot after some hernia surgery. The Fearless Flyers always use guitar stands like that too:
  6. No it isn't. It's based on the amount in question ranging from £35 to £10,000 Page 3, Part A. So it depends what the band fee was. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65b2818b26a40f00117ac1a7/Full_list_of_fees___May_2023.pdf
  7. Oops. Missed that bit. it doesn’t. I use Amplitube on my iPad. There’s a good free version as well as paid.
  8. That is a beautiful set up! Lovely!
  9. I use an Audient id4 mk2 with my USBC iPad. It’s good.
  10. My last rack, many years ago. 2 Different preamps, each capable of blending effected with clean. Each of them feeding one side of the Yamaha power amp and then into a cab each. So I had 2 different drive and 2 different clean sounds on all the time. The Ampeg and Black Bass Pod XT Pro were always in use. The red guitar Pod was a backup. It was very heavy!
  11. Perfect pitch, perfect vibrato, perfect time keeping, bad trousers?
  12. I get that. I do a lot of public speaking and I’ve fronted bands but every now and again the self confidence just disappears for an unknown reason.
  13. What happened to change their minds? Good tactics should be shared too!
  14. Still post it online to warn others.
  15. Packed my gear. 5 minute chat with a few people. Pinched a slice of cake from someone who had bought some along. (It was excellent!) Drove home - about 25 mins. Unloaded the car. Had a cup of coffee and watched a bit of TV. I think that was it.
  16. I both love and hate that song. But it did get to the point where I would introduce it using a cliche southern drawl accent, asking if anyone in the crowd was from Norfolk and planning to shag their sister that night.
  17. I have a Butterfly Daisy Rock and it’s fun but the balance is awful. The Gretsch shorty is often heavy. What about 32 scale? Ibanez Mezzo are a bargain used and have nice slim necks. Weights vary but can be found under 7.5lb.
  18. L&M writing skills are Ferrari. Their singing skills aren’t even horse. Maybe the illegal horsemeat that ended up in a pie not fit for human consumption.
