"A guitarist should be able to do it".

Deliberate or Freudian slip?

That's one up on the Status Stealth.

"Hi, I'm Bruce Springsteen and it's great to be here playing for Donald Trump's campaign rally".

Cadwell? Snetterton? Oooh, I know, Thruxton. Then you can have a marketing tie-in.

I remember all this from many years ago when a digital camera was put up at a ridiculously cheap price on Kodak's website. Of course lots of people tried to buy it, and eventually the retailer decided to let those people have it for the low price (including me). The establishment of a contract to sell requires the seller to offer the item (invitation to treat), the potential buyer to offer to buy, and the seller to accept the offer. Also, there is no obligation to sell at the price stated if it is patently wrong, so even a Fender is obviously worth more than £0. There's generally an "E&OE" knocking about somewhere - errors and omissions excepted. Aha. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2002/feb/02/jobsandmoney is the Kodak story.

Audiences hear the record playing in their heads. If there isn't too much of a collision between that and reality, it's not a problem.

I take a spare. I wouldn't try and influence anybody else to take a spare, nor would I expect anyone else to try to persuade me not to. The default spare is a Hohner B2AV, which is physically small and doesn't need a stand, although it's not invariably the one.

Try "M6 star knob" on ebay. You want a 10mm length one. A cheap Chinese LED PAR can arrived today, which is why I can be so positive.

Just checking and the 12-step will survive being run over by a van. And is it my imagination, or have the prices of McMillen stuff rocketed?

The TBP12 is the standard beltpack transmitter for the G50/G55/G90. https://line6.com/documents/relay_comparison_chart/Line_6_Relay_Comparison_Chart.pdf So you just want a G50 receiver.

I would hazard a guess that the magnets are mounted like that so they reinforce each other when inducing the magnetic field in the pole pieces. Looking for a diagram to try to confirm this, I spotted exactly this configuration used in P90 pickups. While P90s have separate pole pieces rather than a blade type, it's got the back-to-back magnet. More detail: https://courses.physics.illinois.edu/phys406/sp2017/Student_Projects/Spring10/Dan_Carson/Dan_Carson_P498POM_Final_Report_Sp10.pdf which also mentions that this would be paired with a second pickup with the magnets reversed to give hum cancelling.

Are the knobs mismatched as well as the machine heads? Could this have been a theme? 😁

I've just remembered something I meant to say earlier. Yes, mistakes are transient. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. However, I do try and make a mental note of them, as one-off mistakes can be indicators that something needs some extra work (notably endings), and if they get repeated gig after gig they're definitely indicators of a problem.

Well, duh. That's why you've got a girlfriend.

I'm in full agreement with following the singer, almost all the time. In one former band, the singer would do verses and choruses at random, and was quite likely to start a verse before the end of the guitar solo. The exception was when playing "Maria" with Mrs Zero singing, when somehow she managed to get herself into a loop. About the fourth time round, I started singing what should have come next and extracted us, otherwise we'd still be there.

I've had far worse in terms of someone looking bored. It was a barn dance that we were playing in a village hall. The stage had some steps leading up to it, front and centre. My then teenaged stepson Sub Zero was bored and lay on the top step of said steps, playing games on his phone. Well, at least he did for one dance, until I told him to bugger off.

And for the headstock to be the same as on that ACG.

Either I've never been in a decent band, or that's a load of old bollocks.

This still requires that the hacker can get hold of the file of password hacks.

You mean when they get a bum deal?

This could be very useful when playing to a click, to help you feel it as well as hear it:

Two, but the second one won't be on stage (or the allotted corner of the pub), it'll be close by (or in the corner of the allotted corner). Though I might swap at half-time to see if anyone's paying attention.

Especially with mail order brides.
