Lots do - I loved the thunderbird, if I was playing in a rock context I would play one all the time, but I do a lot of pop and only really play 5 strings. Which is why the dingwall would be nice, if I trusted chinese dingwalls! Oh yes, I have never played an alpher, and would really like one, but its a lot of money if I don't know what they are like!

Never played a real ric for long enough to get bored of it, never played a ric 5 string (the 4003s5), never played a ritter or a fedora. Never played a canadian dingwall for beyond a minute, which I would like to but the Combustion pretty well put me off any of the chinese ones. Probably would like to see if the thunderbird shaped ones are better. A few others I haven't tried but nothing that I would like to go out of my way to do so.

Thats because it doesn't take much power, the preamp is on all the time the jack socket is plugged in (and the passive switch doesn't switch it off either). The G&Ls are not like the standard ones, in that the tone controls on a G&L work the same whether the preamp is on or not, but not in any other ways

Well, dont' have one on me to look at the moment, but its the other end. The xlr socket and eject button are on a board that are held by (I think) 4 screws on 4 pillars. That comes off the other end to the aerial, and enables you to slide the board out and all the other plastic just comes off. make sure you don't lose the switches they are just little bits of plastic that press on something on the board. Will posts pictures of it appart later.

Or a volume pedal?

I have shimmed necks and I have had guitars (mostly) and a bass with shims. I never saw any issues caused by it. If you want some fancy wooden slanted shim then fine, knock yourself out, I would never critisize for taking precautions, but having played strats that have had shims in them for 40 years and seen no issues, its not something I am going to worrry about

What do you mean? Do you need the XR18 somewhere else?

Yes, I love the X-Touch so I have it everywhere, although I also use the X-Air app as it is easier for going out front for a setup and for doing eq on (never got on with mixing station).

I think the people who would come along wouldn't have actually noticed there was a bass player.

I am happy that there is no underlying problem *now*, not necessarily that there wasnt earlier (and after a gig yesterday, I slept through 3 snoozes so 8am wasn't a time I checked!). There are always some edge cases at the end of a page, and maybe one of those was in play.

I looked at that page a few times today and didn't see this. Also, 700 pages long probably wouldn't make it into the top 10 of threads

Odd one for us yesterday. The drummer is in another band, they had a gig at one of the venues that is hard to get in (a local beauty spot on a hill), but their singer couldn't be bothered, so he asked if we wanted to do it, but our singer was away. Rather than turn it down he decided that we would ask the singer of another band if she wanted to do a one off gig with us as she had recently quit her band, so she said ok. So we had 4 weeks for us to make a 45 track set list which consisted of all the songs that our setlists shared, so she had to learn 15-20 of ours, and we had to learn 10-15 of hers. and a couple of holidays in the middle. So we did it yesterday. Unfortunately the crowd was a bit smaller than usual as they had put an odd name up for the group (we would have got more with our own name), but it worked out pretty well, there were a few little mistakes as you can imagine, but there were no disasters and we got through it well. And more importantly it was fun!

As you say, you can fool the casual observers a lot of the time, especially if you don't put much effort in as this, but it is another deterrent and perfect is the enemy of good, so better th

You can fake it without too much trouble, but the thing is that it is just another hurdle to scamming, that most people won't bother with, generally people with some skills are less likely to be the people scamming. I used to put my name in all eBay adverts, but for whatever reason, they banned having usernames in adverts, presumably as they wanted to use them for their own purposes. The only downside I see is that a fake postit (like the one on here recently) adds legitimacy to a fake post, and many people are very bad at spotting fakes, even when they are quite obvious, like most AI pictures.

I gor the actual reciept on the day, and the congrats email just now. I assume that you getting a congrats email is the same. Does it have your order on their site?

Yeh, I had a 'congratulations for managing to buy one' email

Well, I could take some time and work it out - I mean there is nothing in it I didn't bolt there in the first place, so it is either the speaker (which it doesn't seem to be) or the electronic board.

Maybe I should bring my BC112 cab too, so we can play that 'what is that loud clonk noise in it when I move it round' game

Looks like an RCF Evox, which is what I am using for bass now.

Yesterday, was actually the day, not the evening. It was a pub, not too far away in the deep country. Mains lead going across the road, playing in the village square, which seems to belong to the pub, next to a little stream, sunny, under a gazebo, pretty rural. Lovely afternoon, we dialed down the rockiness, I persuaded the group that we didn't have to do 3 hours, and it made for a chilled and well supported set, with a roast in the middle. Audience were very supportive and I love the outdoor gigs as its just so much easier to do the sound - just turn everything up, although it has to be said, with the 2x RCF Evox 8s outdoor, we were flat out with nowhere to go. Luckily, we didn' tneed anywhere to go, but if we had that would have been it. But it was clear and no complaints from anyone. Landlady loved it too, so free drinks and part of the roast!

Investment is not really a thing in a band, it is time spent, more than an investment, unless it is getting you a very large sum of money. You would be surprised how quickly a new guitarist can get up to speed (and how many of them there are, especially in norfolk), and if you have a guitarist already, they don't need to do it all in one go.

Easy enough to get other guitarists, especially if you already have one. One reasonable guitarist is streets ahead of an amazing guitarist who messes everything up.
