That is a beautiful set up! Lovely!

I use an Audient id4 mk2 with my USBC iPad. It’s good.

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!

Perfect pitch, perfect vibrato, perfect time keeping, bad trousers?

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.

What happened to change their minds? Good tactics should be shared too!

Still post it online to warn others.

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.

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.

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.

Would it keep up with a drum kit?

Nice looking thing! Congrats!

Wow, that colouring is horrible!

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.

All Beatles songs when they are sung by Lennon and McCartney. They have written some amazing songs but their voices are awful. I have loads of covers of their songs and I love them. Many different styles, but also some done identically but with good singers. I wish they had been the Bernies to someone else’s Elton.

Oh man. I’d listen to any old shit that had Duck Dunn playing on it.

I reckon whoever does it knows Bill and wants to annoy him.

AG-4P precision pickup. 1960 specs.

I've changed the pickups in every Sandberg I've kept. Aguilars if it's passive, EMGs for active. I suppose they are just the sound in my head.

Was it cliched when it was released? I recall it was lauded as a breath of fresh air among the hair metal and shedder bands.

If I do it I'll probably take it to Feline. They do excellent work like that, and I know they have experience with paulownia. I actually have a boxed set of EMG PJ-X pickups sitting around. They are my favourite pickups. I'll have to give it some serious thought.

The mid scoop can be cured / reduced a lot with EMGs and their Active Balance Control. I have that set up in a few of my basses for that very reason. But when I pick up a different 2 pickup bass I have to recalibrate my thinking EQ again!

The thing that cannot be named definitely doesn't help - the online Sandberg parts store will not ship to the UK anymore because of it. Have to go via the UK distributor or a UK shop at a higher price. I get why the online store won't do it - the hassle of customs forms and things for a part that might only be £8 makes it non-viable now.

I got my Superlight Lionel via Classic & Cool. I got it in 1 year last March. I suspect the model and what custom options a person wants has an impact. The aging process takes a quite a bit more work so they might even do them in batches. I knew in advance that the waiting list was going to be at least a year. Bass Direct carry them too - as do GuitarGuitar but I don't know if GG accept the custom orders. But yes - all orders and quotes for unusual stuff have to go via a dealer. The configurator cannot possibly have every option on it. I had a chat with Mark, exchanged a few emails about spec and paid a deposit. That locks the price in and the balance is paid when lands at Sandberg UK distribution. I'm still playing mine every day. In hindsight a PJ set up might have been more versatile than just a P but I'm also nervous about getting it routed out for a J at the bridge.
