I thought it wouldn't be about Fenders because nobody used Fenders for funk. I seem to have missed a connection here.

I think it went off-topic during the first post.

No, it's not about grammar, it's about the collating sequence. In a phone book, "Level 42" would come before "Level42" as space comes before 4.

I misread it, I thought he was a pasta chef at Macaroni's, before becoming a wireless operator at Marconi's.

I was born rather before the 70s, and if you did a search for the demographics poll, you'd find that there's quite a lot of us. And CMOS was around before 1976, it had started making inroads when I was playing with TTL 74-series in about 1970. But what this has to do with Windows 11, I have no idea. And Marcus Miller isn't a household name now.

Have you got the opportunity to play them? I haven't played a Sadowsky, have played a few Spectors and never got on with the necks. Likes and dislikes are very subjective, I can only mention my own experience.

Here's me, brain the size of a planet, and I can't work it out either. Something about Santana teaching Mark King to play bass at Macari's under the guidance of the OP, or something.

You've got two other threads on the same topic to say that in, this one is in praise of Coldplay!

Another vote for the SGC Nanyo here. Also Peaveys in general - I've had a Grind BXP in 6-string and 5-string form and if I was still playing 4-strings, I'd be quite happy with one of those. Hohner - the B2 (B2A for preference) or a Jack if you could get it at a reasonable price. Headlessness, once you are used to it, has many advantages. Cort - GB74, as used by Pete Trewavas of Marillion when he's not using a Warwick Thumb.

Might have bunged a bit towards the James Webb telescope.

What a monstrous tragedy. Coldplay will do no more recording after 2025, before when they plan to produce three final albums. I'll be queueing up at midnight for them when they come on sale.

I think they're brilliant. I just thought I'd say that in the interests of balance, seeing as there are now two topics for Coldplay haters.

Did she? I would take what she said as meaning that she wasn't going to accede to the request to remove the item from sale. The point about the lawyers making the demands was that they were demands, so it's pretty pointless making them unless you insist on them. As it's a translation, though, I may be missing some nuance in the original.

At least this has reminded me that Mrs Zero likes Coldplay, and stirred me to order her a delayed Christmas pressie of "A rush of blood to the head". So that's their CD sales up by one.

Spalted, you mean? 😁

Warwick surface finisher for the Warwicks, occasionally (every 29th of February). Anything else which is bare natural finish gets occasional beeswax (see above), lacquered gets a duster about as often as I dust anything in this house. I don't seem to get muck accumulation on my fretboards - possibly because I mostly play fretless so there's no natural gunge build-up areas, but looking at the acoustic guitar which is probably the instrument I mostly play at home, there's no muck build-up from about 40 years of use. When I've bought instruments with gunge on the frets, I've used meths or IPA [1] to do the initial cleaning then some lemon oil to finish it off. [1] Isopropyl Alcohol, not India Pale Ale (other ales are available)

Bosting. Hope things continue to go well for you.

They must be a great band, they are capable of inspiring such passion among so many. Of course, with so many piling in straight away with such antipathy, anyone who likes them will be afraid to say so. Just like saying you don't like Prince gets you hauled up before the Basschat Thought Police. I personally find them quite harmless.

Does that mean that emerging blinking into the light of day and tottering into the nearest McDonalds is no longer part of the recording studio rite of passage?

I thought it was intended to go up to 11. Stub's solution seems a good one, using a log taper pot. The OBT isn't necessarily badly designed, log pots generally aren't but are accomplished by having two segments of track with linear tapers, one a steeper taper than the other, and the characteristics of the log pot itself might give rise to the poor low level accuracy.

Wrong 410+. It's the AT 410+, like my combo is the AT 800: https://www.grbass.com/portfolio/at-410-plus/ AT = AeroTech.

And thinking of MIDI, the SubZero MB44 USB to 4 MIDIs is really handy although I think it's gone up somewhat in price since I bought one: https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/SubZero-4x4-MIDI-Interface/2KOA Gear4Music do a fair few good things under their SubZero brand, like Thomann and Harley Benton.

I'm not that bad, I've been doing it for 50 years - thought I'd got all three soldered up but the shield came adrift later. The ones I really dislike are 5-pin DIN plugs for MIDI, so I just buy the leads ready-made.

My soldering on one of the TRS to XLR leads between the Behringer X-Air mixer and one of the Behringer monitors wasn't quite good enough on Saturday. Still, the other monitor and the FOH was sufficient. Antoniotsai basses - great stuff, although they seem to have pretty much disappeared now.
