Although I'm in the single member ownership class, I wouldn't advocate it over shared ownership - which is the best fit for you is going to depend on many things. You've made a big investment for which shared ownership is a good way of spreading the cost but could be troublesome in the future. With a member leaving, as I see it, there's three ways of approaching it. Split the cost of buying him out among the remaining members and keep the PA owned just by those members Have any new member buy in an entire share immediately Have any new member buy in gradually from gig proceeds. If they're using the PA from the very start, depreciation doesn't come into it. Option 2 would be the least likely to work as it's a steep buy-in. I suppose option 4 is carry on without a rhythm guitar.

It was you who said "4 strings: comfort. 5 strings: versatility". As my 5-strings are as comfortable as my 4-strings, and more comfortable than many 4-strings I've played, I wouldn't agree with that. And not everything I said was triggered by what you posted. Like I said, it was a part of the trigger for that post, not the entire reason (otherwise I'd have quoted you). Perhaps you should have read my reply more carefully.

A couple of members here (including me) looked at controlling Zoom pedals over USB. Those were DIY projects though. For plug-and-play, you want something like HX Stomp and a way of transmitting your program changes via DIN MIDI.

A bargain, but not in the 25% off sale (no 5-strings are).

I thought I'd seen MN3207 mentioned recently in some kit I looked at, but it was MN3007. However, either can be used in https://aionfx.com/project/azure-analog-chorus/ . Another one for the MN3207: https://aionfx.com/project/blueshift-spatial-chorus/ (100 resistors, 65 capacitors!) And https://aionfx.com/project/xenotron-modulation-machine/

Yes. If you're not going to make use of the top string, it's increasing the stretch over the unused strings to the strings that you are using. Conversely, if you have a B-G 5-string and you don't use the bottom string, you don't have to stretch over any intervening strings to reach the four that you are using. In my case, I find the B string useful but there wouldn't be an advantage to having the C string for what I'm currently playing so a 6-string would be pointless but a 5-string isn't.

Partly inspired by it but I've seen an awful lot of "I had a 5-string once and couldn't get on with it" posts over the years.

The simple amplifier https://lv2plug.in/book/#_simple_amplifier is close to that. A single control which just requires a tiny bit of arithmetic manipulation.

I used to play in a club band that did Music. At one club, they used to line dance to the songs - this got quite interesting when we hit the 7/8 section.

I like Neil Young too, although his voice and his guitar playing aren't exactly virtuoso. I can understand people not liking him.

Got their name from a band meeting trying to determine a band name when they were all extremely well-oiled, and one tried to suggest "The four horsemen of the apocalypse" but it came out as "The four poxmen of the horslips".

The singer with a club band I was in used to ask first, were there any birthdays? Second, were there any requests? Third, would anybody like to get up and sing a song? We kept trying to stop him, but he just kept on doing it. So either we were lucky and they asked for something we knew (10%) or we couldn't play whatever it was (90%). And of course the occasional singer from the audience was almost always awful, and would almost always be singing to a song that we would be busking.

Twin neck headless 5 string, fretted/fretless. Aguilar DCB pickups plus piezo bridges going to a preamp to be decided and to a 13-pin Roland socket. Body shape similar to Sei Flamboyant. Neck profiles the same as my Sei Flamboyant 5.

It's a good job that all 5-strings are absolutely identical so that if somebody tries a 5-string and doesn't like it because it's not comfortable, they don't have to try any other 5-strings before deciding never to use one again. And if you never play any notes below bottom E then a 5-string is completely pointless anyway.

Because doing it easily (ordering the battery box from Warwick) will cost £30 which isn't really cheap. I'm sure I found the identical box for under a tenner though.

Truss rod adjustment?

I should perhaps mention that we only joined one of the bands as a couple (prog covers band that never got to gigging because of trying to recruit and keep a drummer). The other two bands, she was recruited by the band after me, and not from my suggestion. One of those bands already included one husband and wife, and didn't have any issues due to that. I know another band featuring a husband and wife which has been going for at least 30 years with no issues. From my own experience, I would say that your experience is the exception.

Did you manage to see Horse Slips?

Have you not encountered TimR before? 😁

Do they not pack together like the RCF Evox then?

Almost 50kg? I hope you're all strong lads.

I associate the Zephyr with a sandwich structure to the wings as well (dark-light-dark or light-dark-light), as can be seen from side on and at the upper edge of the forearm chamfer and belly cutaway. The Grind just has solid wings (and sadly some have painted bodies).

I've been playing fives almost exclusively for over a decade, so to me they're not pointless. I do have a couple of sixes but as yet don't use them much. As they both have Roland GK-3Bs on them, that may change.

A few years ago I put together a basic PA when Mrs Zero was the vocalist. I've gradually improved and lightened it over the years. The current band were asking about paying into it but I said it was simpler just to leave it as me owning it, partly because I may do some gigging with Mrs Zero using it (though this is looking less likely as we age).

Looks like the original Dan Armstrongs had two strap pins at the bottom of the body and the Chinese ones just have one.
