Total Watts

  1. I bought a 5-string J neck a little while ago which I have yet to use - I have plans. Profile feels nice.
  2. It's not obligatory to make it an 8. In a former social club band, the singer would make the middle 8 into anything from a middle 3.5 upwards, which did mean the rest of us needed to be on our toes (we did anyway for the random rearrangements of verse and chorus). But if 12 feels right, then 12 it should be (the middle 8 of our song in question is actually a middle 18).
  3. A slightly unusual rehearsal with the originals band as it's the first time I've left the previous rehearsal with a male drummer and come back to this one with a female one, and they're the same person. Our BL is somewhat stressed out by work at the moment and exhausted, so there were a few mistakes, but we got a good foundation for the next song, just sorting the middle 8 out, and we weren't too bad running through the existing songs.
  4. What's the conversion rate between moths and Australian dollars?
  5. A woman I know has incontinence pants - if they haven't got any XL in, they substitute with S. I'm not sure why they think she's gone down 8 dress sizes in a couple of hours.
  6. It should say "Paul's letter to the Epiphanies", the lesser-known one after Paul's letter to the Corinthians.
  7. Would there be this amount of whinging if it was a FSO instead of a Status-alike that nobody would take for a genuine Status? If not, why not?
  8. That's more down to the sensitivity of the human ear to different frequencies. A guitar is playing in the range of frequencies that the human ear is most sensitive to, and the bass in the range that it's least sensitive to. Edit: I'm catching up at the moment, I see this has been addressed.
  9. For many years I had a Gallien Krueger 200MB combo, the predecessor to the MB150 E and S. Used it for a load of club gigs. Light and only slightly larger than the 12" speaker in it.
  10. Earth, Wine and Fire Darth, Wind and Fire Earth, Wind and Dire
  11. Is that neck actually recessed into the body at all, or is it just resting on top with some screws to hold it in place and a suitable dark area printed on the paper scratchplate?
  12. I'm not upset. Haven't had any import tax problems either - I did have to pay VAT on one bass from Vietnam once, about 20 years ago, but buying from AliExpress or Ebay that is all handled for you.
  13. The shim might have been to tilt the neck forward rather than back, in which case the shim would be at the front of the neck pocket. Or it's simply crap.
  14. I've got both the CT100 and the CT200. The CT200 is fine for TS too, you just have to remember it will show shorts between R and S (not exactly a difficult thing to remember) - after all, it can't tell whether you've plugged in a TS lead or a TRS one with a frayed ring or sleeve connection. For gigging needs, the CT100 is fine, except for Speakons which it doesn't do.
  15. I don't see the problem. Nowhere in the description does it say that it's graphite. Those tuners, incidentally, have their pros and cons. Stringing is dead easy, you just put the string through the middle of the knob. Saddle height adjustment is more awkward, you have to screw the actual saddles up and down, like a Warwick Just-A-Nut I. Intonation is also awkward, as the anchor screw is under the string so you have to move the string out of the way to adjust it.
