Who uses pre-recorded walk-on music at gigs? What do you use? If you do more than one set do you play anything specific for the second/third set walk-ons? The band I'm in plays 60's & 70s covers, and we're thinking of coming on to the theme from 'The man from U.N.C.L.E.' or something similarly cheesy for our next pub gig in a few weeks.

Is it this one? https://www.thomann.de/gb/km_17515_guardian_transluzent.htm If so, it says it is 'not suitable for Guitars With Pyroxylin Varnish'. Googling 'Pyroxylin Varnish' suggests that it is a poncy way of saying nitrocelluose lacquer, so I'm confused

That's an idea, but if I try it I'd probably use brand new 100% cotton socks

There is a difference between mojo and damage

That sounds interesting. Are you able to post a link to the stuff you used?

I think I'll just continue with the old t-shirt over the contact points. Might finesse this in the future by making something to fit better.

I don't trust Hercules, in addition to the discolouration of the JMJ on one hercules stand, which I was able to nip in the bud, another hercules stand developed the sticky and disintegrating plastic issue and my email to the company about it went unanswered — so Hercules is currently on my sh!t list, along with tascam and native instruments (for entirely different reasons)

When I left one of my JMJ mustangs on a hercules headstock dangler type of stand it developed black stains in the area in contact with the stand. I was able to clean it up so there is just a faint dark mark now, — not really a problem on a roadworn instrument, but to prevent this reoccurring I ensure there is at least one layer of t-shirt between the bass & stand at the point of contact. Not ideal but 'it is what it is' as some would say. Can anyone recommend a specific stand (masnufacturer & model) which is definitely safe out of the box for instruments with nitrocellulose lacquer?

I'm struggling to work out a reason to wire the P bass pickup in parallel. My best guess is change for the sake of change.
