thats more about Portsmouth than Newcastle - I never regretted moving either

They still come with EHBs as add ons, and many basses have them, I guess people got bored talking about them and those who want them have them!

According to the reviews, they do not have enough fenderov sound on them. Which is obviously not good.

Can change it for you, send me a message saying what you want

If you are unable to post anything that isn't unlawful, illegal, threatening, abusive, or designed to offend them yes, probably best you post nothing! I don't think you are offending anyone, although maybe you showing people that you are having a bit of a slow day

I must admit in all my years of working both as hobby electronics and later as an electronic engineer (which I guess counts for about 20+), I have been liucky enough to never has found a resistor with the wrong values on it. Some are harder to see than others, but never wrong. Capacitors on the other hand...

None of the stuff I loved do I actually now hate, there are some I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to, but nothing that if it came on I would rush to turn off. There are things I didn't like, such as steely dan and jamiroqui that I really didn't like but now do (I still am not a fan of JK himself, but the music is ok!). I did hate the jam and groups a bit like that as they were music that were played non stop by the people at school I didn't like, but ended up playing a lot of their stuff.

I refinished a cab in tufcab, and if you accidently bash against it with something, the something hurts afterwards, so not sure I would like it on a bass!

They seem reasonably genuine, although I would have thought if you knew the strings it would be easy to work out and get a refund if they weren't.

New year then, we did a new year gig in a working mens club, where there is normally quite a crowd (and there was a crowd too). We did 9:15-10:30 10:45-11:45 and 12:05 to 12:30, so quite long overall. Couldn't get the sound good, which is odd as I normally can at this venue. it didn't seem very loud but was feeding back if I went up. No idea why, although I also had a problem with the Saxophone, its level was way down. Overall apart from that it wasn't bad, the audience was good, and even though we brought in loads of tracks we hadn't done in a while to mix things up, there weren't any major issues. This was the last gig with the last guitarist. He wanted to leave (again) and gave us a deadline of this year, so despite asking he was going, so we auditioned and got a new guy, then just after we got him has now changed his mind and wants to go back. Its made things a bit awkward and I was having issues with it, but after this gig, setting up, breaking down with the 3 of us while he stood and chatted, I remember that I was quite happy with it! Paid very well, seemed to go well but for some reason, it wasn't my favourite gig, although no idea why.

Worst gig, hard to say - Undoubtedly the worst gig was Guns and Roses, they were awful in every way but I wasn't a fan so I didn't expect much. Gary Moore I suppose - it was his 'still got the blues' but the album hadn't really come out much and everyone was wanting his rock stuff, but he came out, did a short blues set which was really quick and that was it. Recently, Gary Numan - not technically his fault, his playing was great, but it was at the Bristol O2, and it was so oversubscribed someone collapsed upstairs and it took medics 5 minutes to get to them through the crowd, honestly if there had been a fire or something, noone would have stood a chance. I have been at sold out gigs there before* and had half the capacity. Left before the end just because it was too unpleasant and my wife wasn't happy there. * Saw wolf Alice there 6 months earlier and there was a lot more space, but as my wife said, maybe the same number of their audience just take up less space!

I wouldn't, that was one of the main selling points, it was a prettier version of my SR1605 (which also has gold). Turned out in the end it wasn't sufficiently different from my 1605 to hang on to, and with the nice finish came a fear of damaging it (the 1605 is soft wood that has many scars that don't show).

I had a SR2605, it was very high gloss poly:

There are a lot of soft finishes, but if you need them, there are hard (ie, non wood) finishes too, such as heavy varnish.

I am the same with my band. Me and the drummer use IEMs, the singer and guitarist don't. I have the PA and do the sound (and it is all my stuff). they have mentioned monitors several times but I have said, if they want monitors I have an output for them, but its nothing that I need to buy, so of course, there aren't any monitors.

They will be the same apart from maybe rounding. one fret up has to be the same proportional distance from the previous one, regardless of the original scale, ie, the 15th fret will always be the 12th fret from the point of view of the 3rd fret, as it will always be half the length of the remaining scale. Distance from bridge = total scale / (2 ^ (fret / 12))) As far as I can see that is the easy but. But how do you put a shorter truss rod in a bass modifying the original holes, and to do so isn't that more work than just building a new neck in the first place?

So why have you seen them so many times? I went to see them in london a few years ago, I had seen them many times before and they have always been good, but this time he was ranting about the audience not being appreciative enough and it was generally just very flat and lifeless. I haven't bothered going back since

I love coloured necks, so I like it, it is just that bit. I would certainly get one of those if it turned up, although there is the cost of new pickups.

Well, I love it. The only thing I don't love is the brown bit by the end of the neck, would it have killed them to make it blue?

Dont think I ever posted my RST in here did I? Unbelievably light (less than 8lb) and sounds great. Roasted maple neck, body.. I guess carved air - actually probably some kind of paulonia like stuff as there are a few bumps on there. Agular pickups and an agular preamp - a bit confusing as the controls are different from my other Spector, with the knobs in the same place, being volume / volume / bass / treble (instead of Volume / balance / Bass-treble / Mid & freq. Only downside was I had to replace the jack socket, which was a bit poor as it is had to be less than a year old. Still, for the price I got it for, not complaining.

daisy chain anything that doesn't make a noise when you do, and isolate anything that does.

MuseScore output PDF contains all the individual items separated, so quite easy to modify, just that it doesn't always link to the right font. Good starting point though. The PDF is a native image type on the mac so you don't need to snapshot it.

well, that is how I use songbook, I just wondered how forscore is good for that

Wow - I would get that if I was anywhere near there!

I got confused on that. I replied about my plucking thumb position and then when I went back people were saying about the thumb position on the neck (which I didn't think was a thing - more a guitar thing) so I assumed I just read it wrong.
