You've missed a significant category there, the absent headstock, as seen in many an 80s rock video. The peer reviewing is shockingly bad.

And then squander the rest.

So far, I've been able to remember "Seven Nation Army", "Make me smile", and "Psycho Killer", which are the only ones I really need to.

In the past: Go your own way Badge Purple Rain (my way) Current: Sweet Child O' Mine (my way) She Sells Sanctuary Make me smile (Come up and see me) - extra bonus is I do lead vocals on it Occasional: Fever A couple of my own songs, including this one (with Mrs Zero on vocals):

It was built by a lutheir though. A heir to lut? Their lu? It's a mystery.

Ideally, a Cort or Ibanez but it would mean talking Fair Deal down from their already cut price. There's a rather smaller selection of 5-strings than 4-strings in the bargain prices section. I've had a Squier 5-string and didn't like the neck (I think it was P-based so I would still try a Jazz 5 to see if it was better), but I do like the necks of Ibanezes and Corts.

I think, if it obeys the same sort of numerical system as resistors, that will be .47. I think it means 47 x 10^4, ie 470 000 pF. The best bet is to put it on a component tester.

Hohner B2 - about 3kg, 34" (865mm) scale. Aria Sinsonido - 2kg, 34" scale. There was another one mentioned on BC a while ago which I finally managed to unearth - Snapdragon folding bass, https://snap-dragon-guitars.com/collections/bass-travel-guitars/products/snap-dragon-e-bass - 2.8kg, 29" scale.

Well, Fenders and headstocks are my specialist subjects.

I haven't had any problems. Mind you, in 17 years, I've only made 15 posts. I suppose I have to refrain from saying anything about Fenders or headstocks if I post there any more.

And disco octave runs.

A couple of strategically placed cup hooks? M-F extension cable as @PaulThePlug suggests, held in place with a P-clip (eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171504770946 or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322547600814) or U-clamp (eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394456647518). Or, if you can solder, put a couple of stereo jacks into a small Hammond box (1590A) and connect T-T, R-R, S-S, then fix it to the underside of the desk.

As @BoomTingpoints out, CD's is a possessive. Banana's is valid if used as a possessive, eg "if the banana's peel is green, don't eat it". As sprouts are Satan's sperm, I shall ignore anything to do with them.

No, that would be c'd's. See Lewis Carroll, who spells the apostrophised version of "cannot" as "ca'n't" to satirise pedants.

Bloody hell, that Voyager song is awful. I absolutely hate the sound of autotuned vocals, it seems that it's an obligatory effect these days.

Its terrible when people don't put an apostrophe in it's proper place.

A further vote for the Ibanez EHB from me.

Plenty of knee-jerk responses, nobody asking further questions. Have you been with the band long? How have relationships in the band been up to now? How many gigs have you done together? Do you enjoy playing with them? Had the "replacement bass player" remark not been made, would you have liked to carry on with the remainder and try to recruit another guitarist? Was it poorly expressed (ie. they meant dep rather than permanent replacement), in which case, are you being overly sensitive?

Just to follow this up, I have been testing the concept of a USB-C powered 30Wish amp. Here's the test rig: The smaller board is the ZY12PDN USB-C controller board (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193527265113?var=493739920515), the larger one is a 30W amp module from Ebay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144946097523). I tested this with a couple of power supplies. A bass (Ibanez EHB1265 in active mode) was able to give more than enough signal to push the amp module to distortion running at 12V. I've got another power supply coming which hopefully will deliver 20V. I have a cunning plan to avoid sticking a signal up the backend of the amp module if using the cab as a cab - the amp input and output and a USB-C connector will all go to a second recessed plate, and the amp will then be connected to the speaker when I want to use it with a J-J lead, the same way as many combo amps (especially guitar) are done.

You have got the tip on the socket connected to the centre lug on the pot, haven't you? This is where a multimeter would be handy, to see if the resistance between tip and ring of the output jack was constant or if it dropped as you backed the tone off.

As for the bass, it's a no from me.

They've probably been locked so quickly that you never saw them which should answer your question. See also transsexuality.

Interesting pickup placement - not following the fan pattern, so the lower strings will presumably be more bassy and the upper strings more trebly, the opposite to a Warwick Thumb.

But the mono saddle blocks need moving, and I'm not sure where the B and G strings would finish up towards the upper end of the fretboard. Out of the box, they're 16.5mm spacing (just checked my for sale advert from a year ago).

My Lekato bugs will do about five hours.
