Yeh, that is what I was thinking. If it had to stay with the tort guard then the green is a winner, but if I could have a white pearl guard that would go nicely. I am assuming they are close enough to the fender ones.

I had been thinking of getting a mustang too. Choice is green or white (or a lot more money for the vitera). The white would be nice but has a tort guard which I couldn't live with. The green is ok

I hope not, that would make it unplayable for me. Whereas I don't mind them doing a sunburst as well, its got to be the worst colour so I am glad they have picked others, and to be fair, it is a 60s mustang and mustangs didn't really come in sunburst until the 70s. They did come in red though, which would have been nice to go with the green and white.

What was the error?

My HX effects had no presets after the upgrade

Is that when you run the Line6 software updater or after you have tried to update it?

I suspect if the £ does collapse over that time, they might decide to not honour the price. I suppose ordering it from Thoman or something might work for that. Or maybe just pay in yen up front

Dawsons say they expect it on 12/08/2019 So less than a month. But yes, currency might be plunging soon.

Damn that autocorrect!

I thought about pre-ordering mine. I figured Andersons had it at £175+£5 postage, Dawsons had it at £175 with free postage, or I could probably get a pre-owned Know one for about £150.. Tricky choice..

Updated the HX Effects without problems, need to do native.

Yeh - that is the video I meant by 'the hairy guitar bloke that was really good on the sounds'! Probably would have been more helpful if I had posted it, but I was on another computer. He seemed impressed by it wasn't he!

Thats why I kept them all. I think I even have a disk for 10.6

Agreed for that. Idealy something where you could set what you want on the front panel and then press save to put it as a preset would be the dream.

I have had this a lot recently. I know a couple of people who do 'original' music, and now look down their noses at cover bands. Unfortunately, their music is anything but original, it is just stuff that they have written, there is a big difference. You are sitting on an acoustic guitar bashing out C, F and G chords with the occasional little riff, you are really stretching the bounds of original. But then don't complain that the public don't have the imagination for original music, of course they do, its just not very good!

But that is literally what people want from Gibson / fender etc. Otherwise its 'oh how could they change the thunderbird, I will never buy another one again!'. People don't like change.

Yeh, but the OP isnt getting paid. You wouldnt put up with that

We are lucky in that in 3 years we have only been more than 15 miles from home on 5 or 6 occasions.

In that case, do what the wife of the singer in our band did, went through the gigging calendar for the following year and blocked out every other weekend.

I would also say, if I am not gigging there is also no reason to go in a pub, I don't drink and I really don't like people who have. Luckily our singer seems to deal with them well, so I don't have to.

I love gigging. For me, if there is no gig then there is no reason to be in a band. Certainly not the sort of bands I am in! At the moment the load in and out from gigs is starting to p me off a bit because not everyone is pulling their weight, but I am sure that will pass. Well, that is very different, I wouldn't want that at all. For a start, no money, not interested - we do some charity stuff now and again, no problem with that, but not charity for a pub! Its not a question of needing the money, I really don't and don't look on it as a way of making money, but if I am drawing people into pubs (and who knows if we are, but that is the point), then I want to be paid. All my gigging money goes to pay for instruments and things I use when gigging, so it is a self sustaining hobby. To the next point, sometimes it gets too much. I get very frustrated if I haven't gigged for a while, but on the other side of the coin I get very annoyed to not have a break. If you do it every weekend it starts being like a job, and I have a job. It has to be the right amount. That probably is the killer there. What they want is not what you want. If you aren't enjoying it and you are not getting paid, there is no point staying there, give them notice, let them find someone else. Sounds more like you would enjoy it if you a) got some money and b) got to choose low stress gigs less often.
