Jean-Luc Pickguard

Good idea! I just investigated this and it looks like it's possible to make it fit and possibly plug in the input cable, however there'd be no room to plug in the output cable 🙁

It would have been hilarious if when casting for the cavorting woman in the video they chose someone age approriate for Mick, Keef & Ron.

Papa's got a Brand New Bog — Jaaaaames Brown

Bed Spring Boogie — Clarence Brewer

I got the refund on my visa card after returning the Odyssey, althought the £12 cost to courier it back to the shop was send in the form of a postal order — I probably haven't seen one of those since xmas 1980. I was amazed to see it back on the CC website for sale, but now there's the caveat that one key doesn't work, but no reference to the issue I experienced. I doubt the issue I found has been fixed if there's now a dead key (I certainly didn't find a dead key in the couple of days I had it) — surely if a tech has fixed and serviced it all the keys would be working. Oh well.

I've just thought of something I'd like Fender to do — make the JMJ mustang in more colours, eg aged olympic white or shell pink. They'd look great next to my black one and two daphne blue ones. I suppose I should really get another black one so I can have one with the pearl pickguard and one with the black pickguard fitted.

Indeed they do, but its expensive to order on its own

Turning the plate upside down doesn't work - the PCB is in the way

Here's my new (almost) All Boss board I have replaced my Pedaltrain nano plus with a Harley Benton Spaceship Power 50C. This has the PSU with isolated 9v outputs built into the board and it connects to the mains via a kettle lead. Some of the outputs can be switched to 12 or 18V, and it has USB-A & USB-C outputs on the back for charging your phone etc. The bag it comes with is absolutely perfect and it also comes with every power adaptor cable you could imagine. I fitted a Harley Benton SpaceShip Pedalboard Blue LED strip to the bottom front of the board as I think it looks rather good. My boss pedals are TU-3 tuner SY-1 Synth - for doubling bass with cool 60s organ LMB-3 Bass Limiter Enhancer - always on ODB-3 Bass Overdrive with Monte Allums mod - for when I want to add a bit more dirt to what I already get from my Ashdown ABM600 Evo iv CEB-3 Bass Chorus - arrived today, I'm sure I'll find a job for it in the setlist Then half on/half falling off the end the board is my trusty thumpinator. Not sure whether I still need this with the ABM600 though.

I have just added a CEB-3 to my (almost) all-Boss pedal board and the first thing I had to do after taking it out of the box was to remove the bottom plate and heat up the rubber foot with the wife's hairdryer so I can peel it off and replace it with velcro. I think boss could make it easier for people to fix their pedals to a pedalboard. Self-adhesive velcro doesn't stick well to the rubber foot of Boss pedals. If they wanted to make me happy, they could either supply a second plain bottom plate or supply the self-adhesive rubber foot unattached, along with a similarly shaped piece of self-adhesive velcro so you have the choice of which to fit.

Shame we didn't get to see Darryl in the video — I think next year he'll have been in the band for as long as Bill was.

The sets I 've bought most recently are D'addario Chromes ECB81M for the mustangs and the Starfire, Ernie Ball Cobalt flats on the thunderbirds. I paid around £50 a set for the chromes & around £40 for the cobalts. My precisions and other basses are okay with what they already have - mostly 10 year old thomastic JF344s
