I used to play alto, then a few years ago my youngest spawn started to play, so now I have one in the house again and I'm surprised how much I remember. She is better than me though!

Bollocks to the basses - that bari sax is lovely!

We were all married.

The amusing thing is - if it was a Les Paul, then the neck will be stronger after the break and repair than before! Even so - I'd have to be desperate for that model, and I'd need to know who did the work (with a receipt) before I considered it.

When the bridesmaids start getting off with the guests and there's a bit of pushing and shoving at the food table - then a function band can play whatever they like!

Been a while, but: Colorado Bulldog - Mr Big / Sheehan The Real Me - (The Who) but the WASP version with Johnny Rod on bass is better. Yeah, I said it!!! Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder / Nate Watts.

I don’t mind Mustang Sally. Ive sung it too. Great fun.

Got another update. Worldwide shortage. Might not be enough stock to cover my order in the next delivery. Chances of getting it before Christmas are looking slim.

Last renewal I moved from Allianz to New Moon. Saved me about 50% on the renewal! Never had to claim from them so I don't know who good that bit is though.

At this rate I could have bought a keyboard synth and learned how to play piano before the pedal turned up!

Put it in front of the amp with a used Boss LS-2 so you can have a clean blend.

If they could be 10lb then I'm out completely anyway. 8.5 lb is my absolute max, and even then it has to be perfectly balanced for that. Usually I want under 8 lb. I'll keep saving for a new Stingray 5. While they say they are about 9lb but vary a bit, some on TB have them under 8.5lb. Just have to be patient when I've got the money together.

For about a day the Andertons site said 20-something of November. Now it's back to Unknown date again. Dawsons are showing 9th December 2019. I wonder what is going on? Has demand been so high even the mighty Boss can't cope? Or have they let the YTS kid have a go at making them and they've had to bin a batch?

Tippex is a great idea. Matt white finish and then draw a black line on it. That would save a lot of hassle.

No - it's really tight. I might email MB and ask them. And tell them how stupid the knobs are. Anything reflective for use in a stage light environment is stupid.

That might be do-able! Also - why the smeg don't these companies use knobs with grub screws so it's easy? Eijits.

Don't think that would work either - there is only 1mm of space at the side of the knob.

No room - the knobs are slightly sunk into the front panel.

I am fed up with the gold knobs on my Mark Bass. They are shiny gold with little gold indents in them. Cannot see the settings unless I'm about 3 inches from the front panel and even then if the light is wrong I have to use a finger to detect where the indent is. If anyone from Mark Bass is on here - seriously, give your head a wobble and change the design a bit. But, I can't get the knobs off! I've given them a good pull and they won't shift. They are installed slightly into the control panel so I cannot get anything under them. Any ideas? Or am I going to have to just use pliers and risk chewing up the knobs?

I am giving this some thought as an option. New plate and an Aguilar 60s wind Pickup could be perfect.

I think the Glockenklang pre is a bit better than tuppeny halfpenny!

Reading about this one. Seems like it’s noise cancelling but not a stack. Side by side coils. More like a P pickup. Might have to try that!

Is there such a thing? Or at least are there any that sound closer to a P than others? I’m loving my Sandberg Superlight but my current gig works better with a P. I’m hoping to get the Sandberg closer in tone without getting a router out. Any ideas? Or maybe a preamp swap to a 3 band to push the mids a bit?

Set it in the middle. Yes that is a 50/50 mix, but that is actually 100% clean signal mixed equally with 100% wet. It doesn't cut down either of them.

The Marcus models certainly do that. I've hardly touched my DG since I got the Marcus.
