  1. I have a feeling that the seller was using the inches scale on his ruler rather than the centimetres one when measuring the neck length.
  2. You might prefer them to be in Norfolk, Virginia.
  3. He has a few bits of studio kit for sale too.
  4. Just thought I'd mention that Line 6 have updated the manual for both the Stomp and HX Edit to 3.80 (@Wombat has mentioned it above but just in case people missed it). Also, v3.82 of HX Edit is out.
  5. So if it's left of centre it could be either sharp or flat, rather than flat on the left and sharp on the right?
  6. The BB2 I had had plenty of top end - the tweeter is adjustable. The BB3 also has a variable tweeter. And Alex has moved the BB handle to the top of the cab for the BB3 and made it recessed which would make it an easier carry than the BB2.
  7. It's not thought crime. It doesn't matter what was going through his head. There was an order that he could not stand there, and he didn't abide by it. The praying was utterly irrelevant. This is like when people got sent down for crimes on "attack a migrant hostel day" a few weeks ago and others were saying they didn't do anything, disregarding the shoving burning bins at police and things like that that they actually did. And before you tell me that he didn't push a burning bin at anyone, no he didn't. He stood somewhere he had been forbidden to stand because so many people got harrassed when they were going to the clinic and so there was an exclusion zone. He didn't get arrested for praying, he got arrested for not leaving the exclusion zone when it was requested, so it was a physical action (or inaction) that got him arrested, not the praying. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/christian-bournemouth-christchurch-uk-parliament-army-b2631603.html
  8. No problem with Elites or Warwick strings, so that's me sorted.
  9. There is the example of the guy who tweeted "Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!!". Fined by the magistrates' court, went on to appeal which was rejected by the crown court but the High Court upheld the appeal on the grounds that it was fairly obvious it was a joke, albeit in bad taste, and wasn't in a terrorist context. If someone with a history of racist posts posted the example given then that would be a whole different context and the reporting/joking/asking a question wouldn't apply.
  10. The example probably wouldn't fall under first amendment protection - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouting_fire_in_a_crowded_theater
  11. Use a clamping head end rather than a DBE one, problem solved.
  12. Of the 17 priorities, several seem to apply: Hate - at various points hatred has been expressed towards Fenders, headstocks, headless basses, assorted retailers, assorted couriers, etc Proceeds of crime - many of us have admitted to receiving money from offences against music Drugs and psychoactive substances - least said, soonest mended Animal cruelty - we've all seen those pictures of the cat dressed up as Santa
  13. I played my headless fretless bass for a year with my previous band before any of them realised it was a fretless.
  14. And given that VPN traffic is encrypted, stopping the use of VPNs would prevent anyone working for firms that want any security working from home. Should anyone with a router that doesn't have a VPN option want one, there's some reasonably easy instructions for installing a VPN server on a Raspberry Pi. Not as simple as pressing a button on a router though.
  15. Have you delved into it yet? Could it be something as simple as the bridge pickup being connected reversed? I'd take off the control plate and scratchplate and see if the pickups were both connected the same way round, and also check that they're physically installed the same way round (having a wild thought that one might have been reversed on installation and then connected the wrong way round so it was in phase).
  16. The rear rout is weird. Two routs, one under the rearmost row of pots, the other one not in a position to be behind the front pots but for some reason going under the strings, so there must be a front rout for the front pots (and what is the second rear rout for? A birth canal for baby Hilses? Yet another solution to doing headless tuners?). Ibanez and Cort can manage rear routs on mass-production bolt-on headlesses, is it really that hard? And is the wood they're using that crappy that they can't have a natural or stained finish option?
  17. Negatives: 5-strings are fanny fret only No natural finish option Pickguard - why oh why?
  18. I hadn't realised that ped had posted in the "Tell a lie about the previous poster" thread.
  19. You are inconvenienced by slavery being illegal? If people didn't do things which are illegal then there would be no need for police or courts.
  20. You should also be checking out carrier pigeons.
  21. Last gig of the year for us, and indeed our last booked gig (see later) - time to get some diary action for 2025 (not dairy action, that's a particularly specialised area of Pornhub). The Walsgrave in Coventry, a goodly size stage area (albeit flat to the floor). I took the acrylic bass which I'd just sorted shimming the neck on, or at least I thought I had - some notes were choking out on the bottom two strings so I did some revised finger positionings with only a few cockups. Used the Sei for most of the gig. And me committing "Come up and see me". This is as good a reason as anyone needs for me not to be principal lead vocalist. One audience member came up to me after the gig and asked me where the subs were. He was rather surprised that everything (well, all the vocals plus kick drum) was running through the Alto TS408s. Turned out he was the drummer for Flat Badger, a Coventry band. When I got home, after settling down for a bit, I thought I'd check that the gigs page displayed correctly as we have no gigs - it's supposed to show a message saying we'd got no gigs and to check back, but it showed column headings with no content. This was due to a change I'd made a little while ago, so at 3am I was unable to go to bed without having sorted it out first (didn't take too long though).
  22. I'm pretty sure there was another April 1st RFC for using smoke signals.
  23. That's as bad a generalisation as never joining a band with a couple in it. I was in a successful democratic band with Mrs Zero a while ago, exploding both of those myths simultaneously.
  24. No problem. Just try and avoid an £18 million fine, I don't think I could contribute a lot towards that.
  25. Bass: Trevor Bolder Dennis Dunaway Jim Lea Steve Currie Rather later, Pino Palladino Guitar: Marc Bolan Jan Akkerman Eric Clapton Dave Gilmour Mick Ronson
