  1. Whenever I hear a busker, I ask myself 2 questions. Could I do that? Would I want to? If it's No and Yes in that order, I always give them some money.
  2. I wa going to post pretty much what @Jack said, then realised he'd said it.
  3. Someone's already done that joke.
  4. Beautiful work. Looking forward to the next installment.
  5. What we do has value. People don't value things that they get for free. So if you want to protect yourself and not be treated like a carpet, you need to charge something even if money is not your motivation. You can always make a retrospective donation.
  6. Folding work platform from Screwfix - also handy when fixing things like lights and attaching banners to curtain rails. https://www.screwfix.com/p/mac-allister-aluminium-470mm-x-0-6m-folding-work-platform/5892p
  7. Why not email Eich and ask them? They're usually able to reply to questions in a couple of days.
  8. I can get 1 transmitter and 7 recievers for £150 from Amazon, and that's without even looking for a cheaper option from AliExpress.
  9. Has anyone tried the wireless DMX adaptors instead of using cables? Reduces the amount of clutter, but something else to remember to charge up before the gig I'd guess.
  10. The first two digits of the serial number will give you the year. It looks like '95', but there might be a more legible version of it inside the cavity somewhere. Looks lovely - the Audere preamp is a great upgrade.
  11. "... a custom unright cab." Tee hee.
  12. Gave up with piezo because of feedback problems. I now use a Krivo.
  13. I've never used one in a bass, never needed to, but for other things Eneloop can't be beaten IMHO.
  14. Great news that you're gigging again. Who with - can we come and watch please?
  15. If you have a low signal from your DB, you might find that a pre-amp will restore the level to something that the amp can usefully amplify.
  16. Interesting twist - following an audition last night it looks as though I'm going to be in two different bands, each of which has a member with the same name, but they are not the same person.
  17. My Epiphone Century Deluxe is 42mm at the nut and 56mm at the 12th fret. It's fairly deep too. String spacing is 18mm at the bridge.
  18. I'm sure the royalties were some consolation.
  19. Looks like 1988 from the serial number. I've got 3 and none of them have bridges like that, but mine are all 91 or later.
  20. Just play the D an octave above. Nobody in the audience will be able to hear the difference.
  21. They're great amps which sound mighty through virtually any decent quality speaker. Mine sounds fantastic through my Monza. Slightly too big to look right, but hey!
  22. Not playing, but I fell asleep during a dive in the Red Sea once - Woodhouse reef, just drifting along in the current 15 metres down. Someone else's depth alarm woke me up.
  23. 2 old-time banjos, 3 tenor banjos, 3 bouzoukis, 2 guitars and 2 Weissenborns. That's the middle shelf. There's an accordion on the bottom shelf too.
