Its a fender, its normal sadly 17 or I would go for it. Might anyway, to see if fender VIs are as bad as Vs!

Its not one I would pick and I would love a dimension, but just in green or red

I can't believe you could get crushed in an Avril Lavigne mosh pit!

Dangerously unsafe? It is a field. If there is no room in the field don't go in the field! How does anyone know beforehand if someone is going to be popular on a day or not? I mean I would have gone to see avril lavigne, but if it was too crowded I would have left, not a fan of crowds. I don't know who SZA is because I am old and she hasn't come onto my radar (which is odd, I go to tesco all the time) but I would probably wander along and look. I think the advantage of these things is you can listen for a bit and wander off if you are not impressed.

I don't think she was as a few things she sounded a bit knackered while singing, and I dout that would have happened with lip sync. I think she did better with her dancing as there was a big issue with it before, personally I don't think she is a natural with that, and could do without it anyway (very forumula), but it is what is expected of female pop artists so I guess she doesn't have a choice.

I think glastonbury was always like that. I went there first as a 16 year old kid, and I had no hassle at all, people were friendly and inclusive, very different to some of the other festivals such as reading - where we got all our stuff nicked and had to spend a lot of the day after in Thames Valley waiting to identify it.

For me, in the early 80s, Stonehenge was a nono as it was a place mostly for the biker gangs to sell drugs, beat people up and prove what big men they were. Reading was much more a music festival for rock bands. Glastonbury was more a hippy festival with more than music, and also the oportunity of doing your own music, but also comedy / talks, other arts and for people who wanted to wander round and enjoy their time with the people they went with. There was music on, but it was more incidental during the day with some acts in the evening to wander down to to round the day off. Very different to what it is now.

Did that once on the day of the gig.

Why does it matter. As far as anyone is concerned it is the price, as it is the price they would pay if they bought from the shop. But the thing is, the reason people don't pay that sort of price is down to warrantee and support etc. If I buy something from a shop I get to return it to that shop if anything goes wrong, if I buy anything from a person I don't, so it has less value. If it was only 20% more new, I would just get the new. But even if it wasn't, why does it bother you? If someone is selling something at more than you want to pay, you just don't buy it, so it has no impact on you at all.

Its like the AM version, but a lot clearer.

She completely lost her voice for a long time after getting lyme disease from a tick bite many years ago, and spent a long time learning to sing again. I guess it is how it was left. At least I thought that unlike other gigs, at least she left the high stuff to the backing singers, and did a low harmony.

I love the slicer. I have no use for it, but I love it anyway!

It would probably have been Twist and Shout Rexes Hollow Stoke Sub-Hamdon working mens club Maruszczyk L24 into Boss ME90 into the PA.

I always find backlighting perfect for taking pictures of the front of an item.

Enjoyed that mostly although I have heard more spirited before, maybe needed a smaller area. But now there is Cindy Lauper, who has a great band and.. well.. I think I will turn it off for a bit!

Like her tiny desk one on youtube?

Another 80s visitor when it was around £20 and before the music was really that much of a thing. I wouldn't really want to go back to it now, but I am sure those people visiting this week will have a great time and it will be their festival to look back on. And at least it cooled down from tuesday! I shall just grump about local traffic.

I figured if it was £33 it couldn't be that good!

Having said that, I ddid a google for me90 case, and this came back: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/tourtech-ttc-up500-effector-case-pedalboard-hard-case and measuring it, it is 500 x 255, the ME90B is 443 by 220, so should fit and you could do the cut out on the top (in fact I think that is what it is supposed to be like)

I don't. I am in the position where currently for live work I am putting it on my pedalboard as I also have a vocal effect pedal on there I need, but in practice I have nothing to carry it in. I am sure I could find something on ebay / aliexpress if I searched, but it is hard to search for a size on there.

Makes a change from trying to flog tickets at double price!

Placebo last night in southampton. Absolutely great gig, best I have seen them. The venue had surprisingly good sound considering it was outside in guildhall square in Southampton which was all fenced off. It was remarkably warm, the hottest day of the year so far and obviously on a lot of stone it was warm, but by 8 the sun had gone around so there was shade from the high buildings. There was a 5 minute break due to a fight at the front where they stopped the show to rant at them until they left (not sure what security were doing), but the rest was good, new stuff and old hits, ending with running up that hill. Oh and the best bit, it was another no phone gig, I love those. Still had some people using them, wasnt absolute like tool was, but most people respected it.

Just back now, was the best I have seen them.

Placebo tomorrow in Southampton, makes for a little midweek trip out.
