  1. Being sectioned is a horrible thing to happen to you. The hoops to go through to get treatment and be released are convoluted to say the least. My mum was a non-executive director on a mental health board for a while and the days they had sectioning hearings were the days the entire board wanted to be elsewhere. You're stripping another human being of their dignity and liberty for an indefinite period.
  2. Rob is a scholar and a gentleman with the patience of a saint. He did 3d printed pedal board parts for me and didn't, as far as I can tell, go mad in the process. Top chap and a good egg.
  3. I seemed destined to scupper that bands performances. At another gig I got the follow spot set up and used it on them to highlight the singer when he was singing and the guitarist during the solo etc. Again afterwards he was very kind but said the follow spot was blinding him, so please, enough with the stadium style experimentation and just do the pretty colours next time? A good band and a lovely bunch of guys, they must have dreaded coming to the SU after a while
  4. I did lights for the SU for my first year at Sheffield Hallam. Thouroughly enjoyed it, but it ate into too much drinking time so I packed it in after a year. We had a sort of regular rotation of bands so you got to know the faces after a while, unfortunately no-one who went on to be huge so I can't say "I did lights for X at my SU". I ramble... I found the smoke machine one day and thought it would be a giggle to plug it into the desk and out of the patch box on stage for one of the usual rock bands. After the gig the singer came up to me and said "Nice lighting effects this evening Si, but next time, please, no bloody fog, we're not a f******ing goth band!" Apparently the guitarist had gone for a bit of a wander around the stage and nearly come a cropper off the edge in the mist. Oops.
  5. I'm not pretending to understand the ins and outs of it, but what happens if DT puts a 25% tariff on Canadian goods but Canada and the ROTW say, "OK, Whatever" and ignore it without applying retaliatory tariffs of their own? Is that seen as a political rolling over or doesn't it work financially? The US raising tariffs on all its imports isn't hurting anyone but its own importers surely?
  6. Because he eats the crayons?
  7. It looks less obviously denim than I expected for some reason. Was that deliberate?
  8. If you don't need to tapdance during a song to go from clean to overdriven to something and back to clean then I would go with a Zoom MS60B or B+ and put the effects you want into the cycle list. If you need to tapdance then a B3n or a B6 would be my suggestion, but I'm a bit of a Zoomer. Options are available from Boss or Line6 as well.
  9. Ain't that the truth. How someone who only learned to walk last summer can be so fast, and able to climb up things that shouldn't be possible to climb is beyond me. The little tyke is now tall enough to be able to work door handles so we have to lock the hall door so he doesn't fall down the stairs or escape out of the front door.

    Right, I've called it finished now and put the Nobbs and the control cover on. One thing I'm not impressed by is the pickups. They're nice sounding units and I can't fault their functionality. They're a pair of Delano Quad Core wired P/reverse P in the neck and P/all coils at the bridge. I had hoped for more tonal variation depending on which config I chose but to my ears there's no difference. I could have just put a couple of soapbars in and had done. Ho hum, it's like that, and that's the way it is.
  11. Bit of a resurrection and possibly a long shot, but does anyone know what size the mounting holes in the power bar are? I'm tending towards M6, but really need it confirming somehow. It's M8 if anyone else wants to know.
  12. Or, it could have been the last set of the evening and they were sufficiently lubricated to dance? πŸ˜‰ I'm sure it was the Squier really.
  13. Not remotely sketchy, no siree... "Business seller information Bespoke Swim Spas Suzanne Newsome Thuja Pool Lane Stafford, Brocton Staffordshire ST17 0TY United Kingdom Hide contact information Email: [email protected]"
  14. Is it possible to have PMs edited in the same way as the main forum?
  15. Not for me, but I don't order from them very often. I ordered a PSU on the 15th and it was in my grubby hands on the 17th when I got home.
