I found it, in a thread in that forum about what the answer to the captcha is, and for anyone who'd like to know, it's "low b". Mind you, from going through that thread, I'm not sure that it's that great a forum...

Just thought I'd register on there and I'm buggered if I can work out the answer to the Captcha question, "Our guitars are frequently tuned in...". I've tried the obvious, B standard, B, E, BEADGBE, Drop D, Drop A, and I haven't a bloody clue what the answer is. Can anyone tell me?

It could be that something in the environment became more electrically noisy - fluorescent light, fridge, dishwasher - there's quite a lot of stuff that can create interference.

Almost invariably, the dots are where the frets would be (3, 5, 7, etc) for unlined instruments and where the fretted dots are for lined ones. So any unlined one should meet that criterion.

Perhaps you should have defined that when you started the thread.

Because Leo.

This looks like a case of buyer's remorse:

"after being in store for fifty-four years his widow has decided it is time for his guitar to be sold". Why was his widow being kept in storage?

I can see Mrs Zero telling me to bring down 90% of what I own. If I remember to bring it all: Korg AX1500G guitar multieffects Korg AX3000G bass multieffects Tascam US428 USB recording interface & DAW control surface Tascam 788 recorder and HP SCSI CD burner Tascam FW-1082 firewire recording interface & DAW control surface and a couple of TC Helicon effects units

Overrated: Trace Elliot amps - meh sound in a depleted uranium casing. Spector basses - unpleasant necks.

I've got a WAV-4 that doesn't get used much, and I find the profusion of dots confusing. I've had assorted other EUBs (BSX, Palatino, Ergo) and they've all gone with the 3, 5, 7 dots.

Hayman used the same system at around the same time. Much better than taking the neck off to adjust it.

U OK hun?

An old friend of mine, known as Edward Ian Armchair, was fronting a band at a local gig soon after his father had died. He was rather disgruntled at the fact his dad's ashes had been sent back to him in a plastic urn, and held it aloft, complaining about it. Another couple of friends had a contact who had moved from the Tamworth Herald to the Sun's showbiz pages, and they rather overhyped the story, so it appeared in the Sun as Eddie having thrown his father's ashes over screaming girls in the audience. Incidentally, Eddie (aka Kevin Knowles) was on TV a little while back, in Joe Lycett - Summer Exhibitionist, with his array of creepy plastic dolls.

My band has only done three or four gigs so far, so I have yet to fully train them, but at least they're eager to learn and to help. I've just got two monitors and two mains for a vocals-only PA (one main and two backing), orange leads for FOH (XLR-XLR) and green leads for monitors (TRS jack-XLR), but I must get round to telling them that for each I have one lead longer than the other (so the XR12 can go one side or the other of the stage without miles of surplus cable). I've also got to get the vocalist to put the speaker stands up right (he keeps pulling them through so the bottom of the pole is above the inner strut pivot points). Still, everyone is good at helping load and unload.

My preference on an unlined board is dots at fret positions 3, 5, etc. I have three two unlined fretlesses like that and one lined fretless that I had the in-between dots removed and markers put in at the fret positions instead. Added: I also have one unlined fretless with little position markers at the fret positions and dots where they'd be on a fretted bass. I prefer it without the little markers and with the dots on fret positions 3, 5, etc.

No, a search on Atrics on the forum generally shows mentions of them being on Ebay from around 2005 and also being branded H&S.

I'd got a song that I've got a couple of verses and a chorus for, and I input it to ChatGPT and asked for another verse or two. It gave me a couple of verses and a chorus which were somewhat banale and I certainly wouldn't use verbatim, but may have stimulated me into finishing it. Sometime.

If the "carpet" on the base does pull away, here's what I used to replace it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334573958726

I've got two of those. I've just had to remove the "carpeting" on the big one (and the rubber lining under it) and replace it with a sheet of loop material. The small one is about to get some pedals put into it, the whole layout is going to be dry-run before putting it into place when the patch cables arrive.

Paranoid: "SOS you hear these words, telling you now of my fate". Actual: "And so as you hear these words..." I discovered the truth a year or so ago, so it lasted even longer than "dark star chasm" in Another Brick in the Wall.

I had an Atrics double neck some time ago. I had a feeling they were Chinese rather than Korean. @Burns-bass had one up for sale recently, and I remember there was a thread about another bass but it was misspelt "Artics" so you could search for that.

The bukkake song?

Damage or a reflection?
