  1. I prefer a 34". However, I'm also quite happy on an 18" Ashbory, and I have a 32" acoustic which is very comfortable and has an excellent sound. Then again, I also have a 36" 6er which is very playable, and an Ibanez multiscale (33-35).
  2. If it's a blues jam night, most of the time it will be a variant of a twelve-bar for which a walking bass line will be the best fit [1]. Essential bits to know are the key and the order that I IV and V are played in (and if they're sticking in any odd ii or vi somewhere). It's useful to be able to read a guitarist's finger when they're playing chords, especially if they're so loud you can't make out what's going on. But these things will come. The first thing to do is build up your confidence - it sounds like they're quite an encouraging lot so stick at it. Would you be able to get there a bit early and run through something with the drummer and a guitarist before the evening starts? [1] Folsom Prison Blues doesn't count. That's root-5 all the way.
  3. "I have made four of these so they're going to be very rare" (on the other advert). They'd have been even rarer if he'd only made one, and the world would have been a better place.
  4. "Please ignore" threads are where the best parties happen. Has anyone brought Pringles?
  5. I have an Alesis SR-16 which I occasionally use, though when I program drums now it's generally in MIDI - only for studio use, not live.
  6. I suppose that shows how forward-looking Brian May was when he and his dad built it in 1963.
  7. "Book him, Danno"?
  8. I've just put some on my Pedulla and Sei fretlesses. Haven't played them much as yet but they seem to go twang in a satisfactory way.
  9. I'm the one lugging the PA, and storing it for that matter. I've got a 10kg limit on any single item, so bass rig is a GR Bass AT800 combo, FOH is a pair of Alto TS408s, and monitors are a pair of Alto TS308s. Just vocals and sometimes one guitar going through them.
  10. I thought New Zealand had progressed past the 70s.
  11. How would they come together? Socket A powers a few things, which will almost all contain some form of power supply converting the AC to DC. Socket B on a different phase powers various other devices to which the same applies. Are there any devices which will connect socket A to socket B?
  12. Gone, and never called me mother.
  13. All off so I can give the fretboard a clean and dust round the pickups.
  14. Marked as sold. Various possibilities - someone with more money than sense has come along, he's accepted a realistic offer, or he's marked it as sold to annoy everyone who says it's too expensive.
  15. Barrel jacks are dreadful things and should be regarded as consumables.
  16. 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. That's guitar wirelesses, for radio mics I've just got 2.4GHz.
  17. Damn.
  18. Some people shouldn't be allowed near jigsaws.
  19. Plenty of access to the upper unfrets there. Does the pickup position roughly correspond to a Stingray?
  20. https://cpc.farnell.com/multicomp/cr-ba-2c6-180d/knob-15-7mm-d-black-yellow-line/dp/SW03742?st=knob perhaps. Have a hunt through https://cpc.farnell.com/c/electronic-electrical-components/component-knobs-accessories/knobs?brand=multicomp
  21. Couldn't you just use neodymium magnets and double-sided tape to secure the effects? Edit: to clarify, just in case, use the d/s tape to attach the magnets to the effects and to the pedalboard.

    DIY Effects

    It would probably have some debounce logic in it as well as emulating a flip-flop though.
  23. I idly did a search on modulus and got a hit from Ebay, where I found this fantastic description: I'm not sure what a sinful bass experience would be. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/78605811
  24. Me too. How hard can it be?
