[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1466436372' post='3075793'] Nice Matchless! [/quote] Cheers! My gigging amp for 7 years. Despite being 'only' 15 watts, it's always been loud enough.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1466157575' post='3073715'] Oh I intended no criticism of the guitarist - my post was just admiration for her playing. [/quote] No criticism perceived! [quote name='randythoades' timestamp='1466430821' post='3075728'] But this just shows you how good a slap bass can be as a percussive instrument too. [/quote] She's doing some of the drummer's job (as there isn't one).

Any good for metal?

I had a Maverick with a licensed Floyd clone, and I could never get the top E up to pitch! Never had a problem with the Bigsby on my Gretsch:

+1 for Bare Knuckle pickups.

Just found 2 more short cables with plugs, so that's not 16 but [b]20[/b] jack plugs. Price remains the same. -
Refused to gig last night - being unreasonable?

Easy to be wise with hindsight but surely the word 'promoter' should have rung alarm bells... -
Although none of my BC transactions have given me cause for complaint, Karl truly sets the gold standard for selling on this forum: clear and friendly comms, thorough bomb-proof packaging, tracking information (and advice on what to expect), and even a personal letter with the item. I had no worries about dealing with Karl before my purchase, and now I have even fewer! Cheers Karl, your reputation is well deserved

As does he.

[url="http://www.fishman.com/products/series/rareearth/index.php"]Fishman Rare Earth[/url] pickups are another option. They are soundhole-mounted magnetic pickups with neodymium magnets. Pro - no piezo 'quack', comes with an endpin jack that only requires a single hole to be made (or none at all on most Taylors) Con - no onboard preamp option (afaik) They also do the passive [url="http://www.fishman.com/products/series/neo-d/"]Neo D[/url] (single coil) and [url="http://www.fishman.com/products/series/blackstack/"]Blacstack[/url] (humbucker).

Ideal for wiring up a home studio! For £25 you will get:[list] [*]20 Easy-Lock solderless straight brass jack plugs [*]10 lengths of Easy-Lock instrument cable, total length over 25m (1x5.2m, 1x4.5m, 1x3.9m, 1x3.6m, 2x3.4m, 2x0.9m) [*]UK delivery [/list] This a very easy system to use - cut the cable cleanly at 90 degrees, slip the barrel over the end, press the cable firmly into the connector, and tighten the barrel onto the thread. Simples!

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1466067386' post='3073101'] I think I would lean towards putting the songs in the best position in the set overall. [/quote] This.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1466013110' post='3072840'] That's good. It's the wrong colour anyway. [/quote] Wrong colour for metal! -
[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464966860' post='3064248'] But now there's HORIZONTAL POSITION Speakon Porn!! [/quote] Does that cable actually reach the socket like that?

Glad you're liking the G&L Ed! I did suffer a pang of seller's regret but I have just made an offer on a rather lush P so that feeling soon went. I think you're right, there are factors in play other than the weight of the instrument. Playing the Mustang feels like a night off because the short scale means less of a stretch for the left arm/hand/fingers, even though it doesn't weigh that much less than my '73. I must get round to weighing my '63 RI...

Lovely!
