Bright - rather trebly. Woolly - somewhat indistinct. Dark - sinister and malevolent.

Indeed. Some people actually find singlecuts attractive.

Although I'm mainly prog, I do like a bit of glam too. Alice Cooper - Love It to Death. Hallowed be my name Second Coming Ballad of Dwight Fry

It's got a humber pickup but not a humber bridge.

Presumably that's why you advocate using nothing.

Why cloth covered wire? Also, you don't need to replace the jack socket if you go passive, just leave ring unconnected or connect it to sleeve.

They're pioneering a new form of short scale.

One email list I'm on just puts a name in the email subject, nothing else, to signify that they've snuffed it. This has led to me having the occasional double take in BC when some bassist's name is the subject of a topic. Still, I wouldn't worry too much about lacking empathy, as Annie Nightingale probably isn't reading BC.

You might not find it easy to get a stacked log and lin pot, which is what you'd need for stacked vol/tone.

Just what the world needs - another Fender clone.

You might consider a multieffects pedal that can handle both guitar and bass. Don't bother with an amp.

The licensed ones appear to have "Hipshot" on them, although Hipshot may have been lazy and used photos of their own products to illustrate the licensed ones.

Although if they reply telling you all their employees who worked in the paint shop 50 years ago are dead, you should take precautions when removing the paint, such as not eating it.

The Millenium (yes, they can't spell) kits sold by Thomann get pretty good reviews. I'm tempted myself, except a) I can't play and 2) I haven't got any room whatsoever for one.

It can trigger sounds off USB synth modules (for instance, at the cheaper end, https://www.midiplus.com.tw/en/product-detail/miniEngineUSB/ [1]), and off standard MIDI modules/keyboards if you have a MIDI host to USB interface (I built one for about £20).

Don't cross the streams. As volume does change perception, perhaps make recordings with gain and volume set identically for each cab, and then import each recording into Audacity and use the Normalize function to get them all to the same volume. Then use both sets of recordings, with explanations, for listening tests.

Another one just remembered. In Hi Ho Silver Lining, I heard "Flies are in your pea soup baby, they're waving at me" as "Flattering your features baby, then way beneath", which makes at least as much sense as the original.

Just hope their car has adequate suspension, and that it's for permanent installation.

It appears that three people have seen something in it that none of us has, it's up to £26. That's surely at least £26 more than it's worth. Is there some incredibly valuable component that we've all overlooked?

A real shame. I hadn't realised how old she was - 83 when she reached the runoff groove.

There's always the plus a small head such as the Gnome, Elf, etc.

It's still possible to download from Pirate Bay - you just have to use a VPN. Er, so I've been told.

They add length if you leave the strap on. If you take it off, they might add a millimetre or two.

True, but they've already got the different finish bodies for the fixed-scale 150x instruments. It's also a bit surprising that the only fretless is a 5-stringer which makes it even more niche (I speak as a 5-string player who is aware that there are larger numbers of 4-string players out there). The one instrument that they've put a pretty finish on but with Barts is the 1265MS, which shows that they can do it. A 1265F would have me definitely considering failing the abstinence challenge, whereas I find paint finishes a complete turn-off (I realise that this is an entirely subjective and self-centred POV). I assume that the EHB range has been successful as they are enlarging it a bit - I wouldn't think they'd just put a few different finishes out there to try and make an unsuccessful range successful.
