One guitarist uses a pedalboard with multiple single effects, going into a Line 6 head and cab, and the other uses a pedalboard which is mainly a Boss multifx (can't remember which one but I think it's the ME-80) and a Darkstar pedalboard amp. His cab is a ludicrously heavy Peavey thing so to avoid having to get it out of the car, he's running the Darkstar into the PA. This has all yet to be tried out, first gig is on Saturday, though we have had a dry run with my PA to make sure it all worked. If I had to switch to guitar, it would be through an HX Stomp into the PA.

I was going to suggest you cut that ugly headstock off the Bongo but then you wouldn't be able to hang it up.

It does make you wonder why people are afraid of AI. If this was Skynet, it would have shot itself down immediately after declaring John Connor world president.

Well, practice makes perfect.

I saw something on the forum about not being able to use it when someone else was in it. Ah, this is it - https://forum.mod.audio/t/try-mod-two-users-at-this-same-pedalboard/9815

He'd have had some on display if he'd just gone on a few Pride marches.

Same here, but with parallel necks.

Ooops, that was chopthebass, not Prosebass.

He moved across the Atlantic IIRC (to Canada, again IIRC). I liked the look of his headlesses.

Meths with red meat, isopropyl with fish and poultry.

Do you realise how tedious you are? It's like a scratched record.

Sounds like a good subject for a Youtube video.

It was the done thing to make hi-fi speakers as heavy as possible as this apparently increased the highness of the fidelity. I remember a DIY hi-fi speaker in the 70s (in Practical Electronics or Wireless World, I think) which had double-skinned walls. After putting together the base, sides, and front/back, and putting the speakers exactly where you wanted them, the walls were then filled with sand and the top put on.

To paraphrase that nice Mr Orwell, some are more hideous than others.

Something I found a few days ago when I rewired a previously passive bass to active with new pickups - the pickup negative and the pickup ground need to be definitely connected together. I'd got the pickup ground going to ground and the pickup negative soldered to the volume pot body but the two weren't connected, so one end of the volume wiper was floating and the volume control had no effect. Connecting the two sorted that out.

Use a reamping box. Coincidentally I've just built one using the instructions in this video - if you've got the tools, it's dead easy.

Oh good, it's not just me that thinks that the Tele headstock is hideous. Mind you, I also think that the Tele body is hideous.

About where it would be if I was sitting. I almost always play sitting anyway, sometimes in classical guitar position (as below) and sometimes with the waist resting on my right leg.

Aluminium neck-through - that's unusual, especially as the neck is bolted to the body. I don't think even Kramer did that. And you can see where Mazeti got the idea for their odd headstock that can be seen in a recent MDP auction. Looks like ridiculously narrow string spacing, although that may be because of the huge body and long thin aluminium neck section running along it.

Remember, it needs you more than you need it.

Something to keep you occupied while awaiting rescue?

I generally look somewhat grumpy - for example, wondering why the rest of them are so damn happy and then I try to work out what Mrs Zero is telling me to do and realise that she wanted me to smile But throughout it all, one should retain one's essential dignity.

I think it would need part of the headstock grafting back onto the neck end as the break undercuts the truss rod end.
