That is the trouble, sometimes the only way to find out you don't like something is to get it. I would love a 5, but again who knows if it is any good until I get to play one?

My group isn't going to do this, so I doubt I will ever play it, but it has a really killer bassline so I thought I would learn it anyway!

I am in no way saying having a feedback link in your profile is a bad idea, its certainly doable if people want that?

The bit where you have 'please check my feedback - graham1945'. That could be a link to your feedback. Editing your profile involves going to your profile by clicking on your image at the top (computer) or probably the menu on mobile, select profile and then pressing edit on the options there.

Most of the time I am playing a 33, 34 or 35, and don't really feel much of a difference between them, certainly not as much as the neck width or string spacing. I do have some 30s, and I have nothing specifically against the scale, just that those specifically are not favourites.

Why can't you put a profile link in your signature if that is what you want? Or you mean a separate listed link in all profiles?

Thermal shock? When you turn a valve amp on the valves are operating at least 120 degrees above room temperature, wherever you are getting it delivered from you are not going to get anything like that temperature variation.

How do you wait to open something you have just received? Thats madness. I suppose it makes sense if it is packed in a totally atmospherically and thermally sealed packing method, rather than a hard case or gig bag and a cardboard box, it has been sent from the antartic and you are in the desert, but otherwise, I would say no.

Its probably a conspiracy then

Cmake is made to remind people why they shouldn't use projects that use CMake! Hideous thing. Its a way of getting a lot of complication, and changing it so it is a different type of complication.

There is always https://dailyguitardraw.com - done by the people who run crimson guitars. I have tried a few times, haven't won anything

Found it really irritating - got a load of footswitch toppers, and it turns out there isn't just one size, and most of the things I wanted were the other size!

Agreed that asat should just have active passive. The active shouldn't boost your sound at all, it is just a line buffer so you don't change your tone by the cable. Proper Mr Fender wiring. The tone boost does add treble, never found that particularly useful, but I guess Leo was driving much older amplifiers at the time and also had hearing loss

I wasn't disagreeing with your point, it is using a microcontroller with more power than the apollo landers to do a flip flop, but I was just explaining to Rich the divide by 2. I don't disagree with you, although in some situations (not this) it is often easier and cheaper to go down that route.

Not if you think about it simply. If you have a footswitch, it can either be on when pressed and off when released, or you can have one that toggles between on and off every time you press it (which is sort of normal for a footswitch). The second type is just the first type divided by two, because if you pressed and released the first one twice it would go on / off / on / off, and the second would go on / off. Half as many changes, divided by two.

never had one die, had one go a bit distorted for a bit

I realised I had a label maker, so when I change the battery I put a label with the date on it - its easy to forget otherwise.

Looks like a Peavy T40 Like this one: https://reverb.com/uk/item/28332854-peavey-t40-2019-metallic-blue

Oh one thing that was not so great. I forgot the riff to poker face, which wouldn't have been an issue except I was already half way through it. Yes, I had played half of it fine, and then just boom - came out of the chorus and couldn't remember how it went. Isnt the brain a great thing

Had a gig on Friday, early start (8:30), tiny pub, second time we have been there. Its a real faff to set up because once you have brought all the equipment in you are tripping over each other, and the pub was quite full allready. To be fair, you get 10 people in it and it feels full, but there were a lot more. Eventually moved the people from the corner where the PA sits and setup. By the time we were almost ready to start I was too hot and my back was to an open fire, that had died but still heating. Sound sounded great as we could turn it down quite a bit and it was clear and loud enough. Considering a complete absence of practice for a while, everything with the songs went really well. The singer didn't mess up the song he did last week, and when he tried to mess up another song I just sang the right thing over him and he got with the program At one point this guy came right up to the side and leant down and stared intently at the front of my amp, for about 30 seconds - I mean the ashdown ABM600 evoIII is nice, but not that interesting. Then he stared at my pedalboard, which just currently has a dwarf and a critical mass on it, again, not that interesting. There was a drunk guy that danced back almost knocking the mic stand over, I pushed him away, he got close again I pushed him away, he got close again, it was the second half so I had the acrylic bass, which I put the headstock into his back and pushed, that worked well. Then the landlady threw him out. At the end we did our last song as whole lotta love that we haven't done for a while, a guy that came in in the second half came up saying how well we had done it and what an interesting set we had, and he had just been passing and walked in, whcih was nice. You never know what pubs are going to be good, that one is. And it was a friday gig, finishing at 11:00, home before 12 and the rest of the weekend free, whats not to like

I must admit that I wouldn't enjoy gigging if I had to do as much travelling as a lot of people here. we do about 25 gigs a year but there are probably only 5 or so that are more than half an hour drive from here, and most gigs we do I could walk to if I didn't have a PA and amps to carry.

There is an odd thing about weight - my ibanez sr5005 I find very heavy so dont play very often. Likewise my spector is a bit heavier than I would like. However, recently for the second half of gigs I have been playing my acrylic jazz style bass which makes both of them seem like toys, yet, apart from the initial pickup I don't really have a problem with its weight. Not sure if it is the balance of some other element of how it sits, but it doesn't get to me the way the others do and I can play it quite comfortably (although it would be more comfortable if I filed the nut down a bit). I don't know why this is. And to the OP - it doesn't matter how heavy your bass is to someone else if you don't have a problem with it.
