[quote name='Subbeh' timestamp='1456536666' post='2990183'] Or failing that, can anyone personally recommend somewhere in Birmingham for a setup? The little guitar shop also in the Jewelry Quarter is the only other place I can think of, PMT of course but last time I saw their tech he seemed far more interested in his game of thrones books than doing any work. That time Guitar Spares and Repairs (Joe) sorted me out, gutted that they seem to be gone [/quote] John Diggins at JD guitars.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1456523924' post='2990111'] Took the clip off my Polytune and stuck it on me headstock [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/pedullaman/media/IMG_9024_zpslo42q0pj.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/pedullaman/IMG_9024_zpslo42q0pj.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Works great! [/quote] That is genius ! I sold mine because it wouldn't fit on the headstock of my Roscoe, not so that I could see it anyway, and the display doesn't rotate.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1456522338' post='2990096'] Of course it is - if everyone puts it there. I suspect trying to herd cats into size and colour order might be marginally easier though... [/quote] I mean the little box thing that we put the price in. It's displayed when you open the thread, but would it be possible to see to without ?

Would it not be possible for the price to be shown in the title ?

So you're selling it for £550.then reduce it to £475, so it has to be moved. You're not willing to post it, then decide to post it, again it has to me moved. It would get very messy. I just like browsing. If you don't know what you want, then it makes sense to just browse, ignoring the ones that are out of your price range. Maybe ask that people display the price with the thread title, so there's no need to actually go into the thread ?

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1456497242' post='2989669'] I've also noticed that the bands that do this tend to play the most generic dull bollocks imaginable that nobody would want to listen to at any volume. [/quote] Yep.

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1456496609' post='2989655'] There's a band that occasionally rehearses in the studio next door to us, who play so loud we can hear them quite clearly through the soundproofed wall. It's not a problem when we're also playing, but there have been some evenings when they've been loud enough to disrupt our conversations between songs. [/quote] I've had that happen too, except they weren't next door, they were actually in the next studio but one. The band that was next door had given in and left.

[quote name='doomed' timestamp='1456472535' post='2989291'] I long for the chance to listen at sane volume levels, we average around 135db at practice (I always wear earplugs). No wonder the others are always moaning "My ears are ringing"... Hardly surprising seeing as you insist on playing at that volume lads...... [/quote] That's just plain stupid. Why ? Good for you wearing earplugs though. Loud music, and playing loud is one of my pet hates.

Are going to do any classic rock is the typical response to my jazz gig adverts.

This is mine.

I had a polytune clip, it worked well but you can't rotate it, so it wasn't any good for my bass. I use a Planet Waves mini one. It's tiny and very unobtrusive, tracks well even on the low B. It's small but can still be seen easily enough. Also because it's small I can just leave it attached, even while the bass is in its bag being transported.

I think it's usually something like 25% in total. That's on everything including the shipping costs.

De der de da 😊

Yep, you need to check if its got dots where the fret should be, or in the normal place.

I don't mind joining in.

I've played in a few art galleries with my one jazz band. They're always nice, a nice vibe.
