Don't reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

Yes, forget about the remote, you just need to modify the LS-2 to output R, G, and B signals at 5V to the terminal at the end of the LED strip.

Assuming C5 C4 C3 C2 C1 C5 - not a lot of bright top, probably tweeterless C4 - not much difference to C5 C3 - not quite as full in the bass, some amp buzz - active? C2 - more highs than C4 & C5, full bass too C1 - similar highs to C2, slightly fuller bass - best balanced of the cabs

I have an XR12. I use a Nokia T20, and have an elderly Huawei 10" tablet as backup. At the last gig, I started losing connection with the 5.8GHz router I was using, so I switched to the XR12's internal wifi for the rest of the gig, which worked fine.

My guess is that the OP isn't going to be going to a jam night near you in the near future.

I have the other Lekato strap: https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEKATO-Adjustable-Acoustic-Electric-Included/dp/B088613TDF/ref=sr_1_5

That sounds a reasonable set of strings to use - scale length is about 4/5 the scale length of a standard guitar so tension using the topmost four strings would be rather slack, heavier strings (ie the lower strings) would bring the tension up. It pretty much corresponds to sticking a capo on fret 5 on a standard guitar and using the middle 4 strings, so it's whatever strings you'd feel comfortable with doing that with.

Open jam =/= open mic.

The MS60B allows you to cycle through patches with the footswitch. You can put as many patches on the list as you like.

What good will that do? A typical open mic may or may not have a bass amp, if there is one it's going to be something that the organiser doesn't mind having any old hack bassist thrashing through.

Yes, as long as I supervised them plugging in. It was easily loud enough to compete with the PA they were using. But as I was the only bassist, it didn't matter.

Not far from Hawes and the Wensleydale diary.

One of our guitarists won a Les Paul from there. He was a bit wary, but it turned up - very nice too, must have failed Gibson QC due to not having anything wrong with it.

The bridge position looks like it's straying close to MDP territory.

I watched a bit of it. Did absolutely nothing for me, but that's the music rather than the performance.

Not to mention the soundman giving you the "get your foot off my f*cking monitor" mix.

I've just knocked up a CV sequencer (awaiting a breadboard to accommodate the ESP32 a bit better than the lashup I currently use) which uses a rotary encoder for parameter selection and input. That might be an alternative to your menuing system using a keypad.

I'm in Staffordshire, less than a kilometre from Warwickshire, and maybe 10km from West Midlands. None in any of those (nor Derbyshire, Leicestershire, or Nottinghamshire). You'd think that the UK's second largest city might have the occasional gig.

Just dug out a contract that the ceilidh band I was in used to use. Names redacted to protect the guilty. This was, incidentally, in a nice Word document, rather than jus a text file.

ESP32s give you much more space to code in, plus they're probably cheaper than Arduino Unos and also let you have wireless and Bluetooth connectivity. I love them.

I've got a feeling that I got some from Bass Direct for a preamp that had a 4/6mm shaft. I couldn't swear to it though.

I use a Tecamp Puma 900 with a 100W BC micro cab for open mic nights. No problems.

In my case, it's not exactly manky - I just can't get the lustre on it that I can on the fretted Thumb. When I polish them (not often as I don't use them much these days), I use the Warwick lemony fresh stuff applied with some kitchen towel then polished off with a duster.

One of the cases I found when searching for that was this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404421009719 The small case should do the job nicely.
