  1. I only look at FB on a desktop browser using FB Purity.
  2. Input and output are both from the audio interface, the signal gets passed into and out of the Pi via USB.
  3. We use Alto TS308s for FOH and TS408s for monitors (it works better that way round, the 408s are an ideal shape for monitors). Vocals only most of the time, sometimes one of the guitars and sometimes my soft synth. They're great.
  4. But don't do a 1990s "Click here to enter" home page a la Rob Green...
  5. The saw sled is the width rather than the length of the panel - I think it would work doing cuts 3 and 4 first, then stacking the middle and right-hand pieces (I suspect the circular saw might baulk at 36mm).
  6. Correct. Looking at images of OLP TLs, they're all quite different.
  7. Seems like a generic 3-band Chinese EQ. There is an alternative circuit which consists of the original 2-band EQ plus a mid control - see https://andyszeugs.wordpress.com/cheapray-5-string/ for the mid control part (the 2 band EQ is Stinger, musikding kit or OSH Park PCB), but that does involve a very expensive pot. There's also a 3 band Stingray EQ clone circuit that can be found on TB (thread title "DIY Stingray 3EQ Preamp") using an OSH Park PCB.
  8. Of course not, they should be set on fire to power electricity generation.
  9. Sorry I didn't make it, was feeling knackered after a fairly busy week. I haven't quite got round to attacking the plywood with the circular saw yet, although the battens are cut - does that mean I should cut the panels as originally sized, or would the new panel dimensions work with the old batten dimensions? Edit: just looked at the changes and the batten lengths remain the same, so when it stops raining after 40 days and 40 nights I'll cut out the panels to the new sizes.
  10. Scratchplates are evil.
  11. One of the bassists at Tuesday's open mic was playing a P (the rest were playing Js apart from me with a Pedulla series 2 fretless 6). After hearing that, I never ever want to have a P. Absolutely awful sound.
  12. It seems a lot of trouble to go to to make every single front different though.
  13. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2189732864885547 The thought that there might be more than one of these in the world fills me with dread. Although there does seem to be a related instrument just poking into the picture.
  14. The Royal Mail app is appalling. Half the time it says there are problems with the servers so it can't give me any information. Conversely, the Evri app works perfectly and I get given an expected delivery window.
  15. For moderately or very common instruments, check Ebay sold listings. That will give some idea.
  16. Funnily enough, I keep thinking that @Supernaut's avatar is Scooby Doo when I see it out of the corner of my eye.
  17. You do know that "disposable" means it's disposed on rent/mortgage, food, utility bills, etc, don't you?
  18. Presonus Studio 24c connected to Pi 5 and recognised straight away. Configured to 48kHz sample rate, 64/4 for buffers, showing a latency of 5.3mS. Now I've got to work out how to connect something up to the input and the output, with everything precariously balanced on my desk and my chair occupied by my circular saw until I can get the new blade for it and take it back to the shed (the floor is fully occupied). Things will get better once Mrs Zero gives me the go-ahead to move into Sub Zero's former room.
  19. "Hello police, this is FMIC. Someone has raided the dumpsters that we were using to carefully store our newly acquired inventory and made off with lots of stuff".
  20. Same as you, when I was working in the office I took lunch in with me, and a copy of Private Eye, so I didn't buy anything form a newsagent either. The I was WFH from the start of lockdown until I retired at the end of 2022. It saves companies money because they can get shot of their offices, and saves employees money because they no longer have to pay to commute. So that means more available money to spend in other ways than on petrol, and for companies the possibility of either better pay rises or other investment.
  21. Procell. If the clip is loose, it can be gently squeezed with a pair of pliers to make it tighter.
  22. If you can hold out till December, Gardiner Houlgate have a left-handed Wal Mk 3 five-string with both fretted and fretless necks in their next auction - https://www.guitar-auctions.co.uk/sale/249/161/1989-Wal-Mark-3-frettedfretless-lefthanded-bass-guitar-made-in-England. That give you time to save up.
  23. It's also not a standard scratchplate and the routing on the OLP bodies is just massive trenches (shame, a clear scratchplate would be nice otherwise) so the previous owner might just have decided to relocate the controls. Although I would associate a diamond layout more with a two-pickup bass.
  24. If you've got an airing cupboard, put the heads in there to help them dry out. Might be worth doing a bit of a strip down to the soldering station to see what's happened in there.
  25. I had one - it couldn't keep up with a quite quiet band which didn't have a drummer, just a cajon.
