I did look at the patent and wonder which bit was actually patentable! I'm not sure either a 4 coil pickup, or a blend control with push pull switch is!

it's the same/worse if you're a visual artist/designer. I have an undergrad in Sculpture and my dissertation was looking at Art and Religion in contemporary art/culture... so it would be an understatement to say I've read a bit on the subject and could talk at length about the different frameworks for "art in a christian context" and the positives and minuses of those approaches when it comes to our postmodern culture... ` "Can you do something for/with church?" "umm what were you thinking?" "I think X" "ahh I see what you're trying to do, the reasons why that might not be a good idea are........ [long conversation]" "oh so you don't want to do X then? We really want X." 🤦‍♂️

It proves contraversial doesn't it - and it's good to remember that Churchs in Korea were some of the first super spreader events. -best bet it to look to Evangelical Alliance or CoE or a body you belong to for guidance. EA I know has policies based on gov. guidance AND best practice. For example we've been wearing masks for congregation singing and walking around, even though until recently that wasn't gov guidance.

Is it that humiliating? You asked, they said no

Hey don't tease @EBS_freak for his Monobrow

you tease

I heard that he gets miced up - just so the drummer can use his heartbeat as a click track

What were they and how??

Slightly OT but lovely photos

no, the moment it was unplugged no noise. (Which stands to reason really as there's nothing going in anywhere to go out the outputs.) So noise was first via the balanced XLR with no DI box used. Phantom off to stop blowing up anything. Then tested one channel with Active orchid box so active. We turned phantom on for that test - same result. And we used a different power socket the other side of the room. Yeah I think it could be something like that. or all the fairy lights on the Christmas tree. Thanks for your help everyone - tbh I need to go and do some tests on things in the room and at home before wasting any more of your time and expertise.

Yes - but would a faulty valve cause noise if the SV is turned off?!

yeah working fine at home- need to do way more testing.

You in your happy place? Please don’t sell her again!

Looks like 2 filled holes each side?

if you want to see the pickup switching he's got going on... https://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?Docid=09818389&homeurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpatft.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2Fnph-Parser%3FSect1%3DPTO2%26Sect2%3DHITOFF%26p%3D1%26u%3D%252Fnetahtml%252FPTO%252Fsearch-adv.htm%26r%3D19%26f%3DG%26l%3D50%26d%3DPTXT%26S1%3D(%2522beers%2522.AANM.)%26OS%3DAANM%2F%2522beers%2522%26RS%3DAANM%2F%2522beers%2522&PageNum=&Rtype=&SectionNum=&idkey=NONE&Input=View+first+page

FFS I think you're best to be rid of that stress. I've met you, you're a lovely guy, and a decent player. Bands, when it's not a full time job, find ways to work around each others limitations - even if you were improvising over a chord chart and expert at it most music has expected numbers of bars, chopping and changing for no reason... is interesting choice.... chopping and changing and not being able or willing to communicate to your bandmates is just crazy. And when I say chopping and changing I mean ****ing up. Also I know blokes who get angry easy, and blow up and get exasperated with things, thats bad, but also the culture that breeds around them - you know what - life really really is too short .

because of how it's sorted?

Ahh happy Jack is quite a player - he doesn’t need any side dots really

I’ve done that on a DIY stingray I built - one of the reasons it isn’t common is that the pickup feeds directly into the preamp and it doesn’t love the impedance switching. the L1000 is probably a good example where pickup switching was designed in

and a L1000 ....

it looks amazing!

two questions... why check the pickups? And two ... I'm surprised @gareth hasn't driven to enfield yet!
