Possibly but a little more annoying as you rarely need to pick up an amp while playing! Another cool feature of the wireless thing is that they have a large light ring around the bottom that glows blue, but when the battery is going to die, it starts slowly pulsing red for about 15 minutes before it does, unlike the really expensive senheiser wireless microphone that a dep singer of ours used live, which just cut out mid song. I guess it probably would have said on the tiny LCD screen had she been looking.

I bought those from £74 from aliexpress a few months back, they came in a week and I have used them at every gig since. The only downside I have in using them is that you can't easily pull a SM58 style microphone through the microphone grip as they are quite fat, so you have to pull it up, which can make a bit of a clonk. However, the singer loves them, can go to the back of the room (and does) with no issues, which enables him to continue his search to get the most attractive, and most tone deaf woman in the audience to sing with him! edit - now I look you can get them for £70 inc tax from ae.

I have. If you want to play with them, then do it, if you can't be bothered, don't. Seems like an easy choice. I did it because I wanted to.

I have, quite some time ago, it was reasonably cheap and actually pretty good. Didn't need any work

First gig in what seems like an age, but is actually 4 weeks of people being away. Was going to take my Bongo, as the last few gigs I did on the new OLP, but when I picked it up, it seems it has made itself unplayable for some reason, fret buzz everywhere, maybe humidity or something, a couple of months ago I did a gig on it and it was fine. Anyway, took the Maruszczyk because that never causes an issue. It was a short gig for us, a two hour thing, we don't get those, and it was a nice 2-4 gig at a local village with no parking. When we got there there were two people there and said 'hope you are bringing people', so it seemed like it was going to be a bit of a quiet one, however, but the time we got setup, there were quite a few people there. Sound setup without any issue (in fact the same settings as the last gig) and from the word go, the crowd were right behind us. Actually ended up being pretty busy and considering no practices for a while, nothing major disasters either!

Yes. And no. You can easily power the TU2 from the stomp power. No it can't be isolated as the Stomp power supply is just a single power supply. Is the stomp tuner than bad then?

It certainly would be eaiser, but there is a limit to how much you can change your physical makeup. Your singer might be able to sing many songs without effort but could he do Soprano stuff and deep bass fine? That is why in a choir you have different groups for the ranges.

All keyboards are easy to change the key on, but strangely our keyboard player won't change the key on the keyboard, but if you give him a couple of minutes he will just play it in the new key and doesn't complain, which is quite impressive. We change the key to what the singer can sing (or I or the drummer sing it), screaching out of your range is not a good sound. I never found changing key on the bass as much of an issue, not on a 5 string at least (otherwise it makes e flat tricky!) untless it is a really fast thing that relies on open strings, or odd tunings, like some Queens of the stoneage or royal blood when they are in Drop C or something.

We have gone through long periods of not adding new songs, which is a bit dull, but in general we add a new song every so often and songs get dropped if we either don't like playing them or they don't go down well. We probably have enough songs for 4-5 hours and generally play just under 3, so we can chop stuff around depending on the type of crowd we are expecting. We have a new keyboard player recently so we have gone through adding quite a few new songs, but on the occasion we play without him we have ones that don't need keys. However, some of our songs are the ones that we have had for the last 7 years!

Yes, to me it makes it a chocolate teapot, but we all have different ideas on these things. Always wanted one as a kid, and loved one when I played on years ago but I guess I don't play 4 string either so unlikely that I would ever get one, but handy to know the reissues aren't the same as the proper ones.

I had a notification that mine was going to turn up on saturday, so there is the weekend sorted

Presumably if the string spacing has changed from 15 to 19, they wouldn't be any use for the old ones.

Clearly he had them, but I would associate Gary Moore with the Peter Green Les Paul, and his earlier rock work with the Hamers. Joe walsh always seemed like a les paul player mainly too.

I wouldn't have also associated either Joe Walsh or Gary Moore with a strat either.

I would call that way less playable. Why would you call something a reissue if it was so fundamentally different?

Oh thats nice - I don't think that Ibanez bother with many of the prestiges outside Japan, but that is a really nice one, would like a fan fret prestige.

Its because we always messed it up going into the change, but the main riff you can just keep it going, and all the people had done really well with costumes, so we played that as each one came foreward, walked around a bit and went back and the people judged. Its one of those riffs that ones it is locked in you don't have to think about it at all.

That was one of our standards for a while, even not in haloween, but it always got messed up on some of the changes. However, we did a few times when we just did the rif during a fancy dress parade for 15 minutes and that was ok!

Mine isn't here yet! Hmm.. will check in case it has turned up and I wasn't informed!

would be nice they were all the same size!

Is what I was saying - SPST isn't a size, 10mm or 8.5mm is a size, all pole configurations come in all sizes, my SPST switches are the only ones that fit mooer caps!

Weird they mention them by type rather than size. 10mm and 8,5 seem fine, although I would say my SPST tap switches in my page turners are the big ones that the mooer caps fit!

Doesn't matter what the switch type is, but there are two different size tops. I have some of the mooer ones, which fit my page turner, but not my tc effects, as they are smaller. Shame they dont say what size they are

Should have gone back down to cash converters to get it back!
