  1. Name and shame. I doubt it would affect us as we're unlikely to travel that far north, but others might benefit.
  2. It may... Might also be worth unscrewing the bridge and making sure that that end of the tape is making good contact with it.
  3. I could be replaced by any reasonable standard bassist, although some years after being kicked out of a band because the lead guitarist and drummer (brothers) wanted to bring their mate in, they tried to re-recruit me. There were a couple of bassists who had passed through the band, and the guitarist's wife told Mrs Zero that it hadn't been the same since getting rid of me. However, as the true nature of the others as a bunch of racist Islamophobes had become evident, I politely declined. As for the current band - I play, do the website, do some of the Facebook stuff, and contribute to the general melange of organisation. Oh yes, and provide the PA and lighting (such as it is). We've become quite a cohesive unit and I think losing any of us would be regrettable. No virtuosos but no weak links either.
  4. Surely you haven't already forgotten the recent direct action and burning stuff, where the stuff being burnt was asylum seekers' hostels? Be careful what you wish for.
  5. Shades of MDP? Although the neck and bridge are still in the original positions.
  6. 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.
  7. You might prefer them to be in Norfolk, Virginia.
  8. He has a few bits of studio kit for sale too.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. No problem with Elites or Warwick strings, so that's me sorted.
  14. 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.
  15. The example probably wouldn't fall under first amendment protection - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouting_fire_in_a_crowded_theater
  16. Use a clamping head end rather than a DBE one, problem solved.
  17. 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
  18. I played my headless fretless bass for a year with my previous band before any of them realised it was a fretless.
  19. 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.
  20. 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).
  21. 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?
  22. Negatives: 5-strings are fanny fret only No natural finish option Pickguard - why oh why?
  23. I hadn't realised that ped had posted in the "Tell a lie about the previous poster" thread.
  24. 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.
  25. You should also be checking out carrier pigeons.
