That is the bezel I have - I didn't get the screws from there at the time as I didn't know I needed them until I tried to fit them, and then I didn't go back to get them as it is £17 for two screws!

Yeh, mine is the older type with the plastic arch. I have a replacement inner bezel liner to fill the gap, which is when I realised I needed the screws. With the size though I have found some at a much more reasonable price

Its new to me, and yes, someone took off the pickup cover (it is in the case) but obviously didn't think they still needed the screws!

Never really got on with it, but then I am not a compressor user either

Thanks, I saw them on rickisounds for £6 each and 4.50 shipping, maybe with the size I can get them a bit less!

So my new rickenbacker 4003s bridge doesn't have any screws, so the briidge pickup is way down in the hole and quiet. I assume being a rickenbacker those screws are some random imperial size that would be tricky to get anywhere or be a custom and expensive order. Any idea what those screws are? these screws (as not shown in the picture!)

Can automatically put a space in, at the moment I can see the template that puts the 'edited by' but not the bit that calls the template that puts the edited by there.

I don't know - i will look

All my rush tshirts died a long time ago, even if they still fit me, which they wouldn't!

Agreed - I think it is the Scala gig that made me realised how I felt about stadiums, especially as there are 6 months between these two: NiN, scala oct 2013 NiN, O2 May 2014 (actually pretty close to the stage) The O2 gig was a lot more expensive. I enjoyed both, but in a very different way

I went to see NiN at scala in (I think) 2013 - the tickets were for the warm up of a tour (which I also saw), they were on line so they went fast but they weren't expensive and you had to use ID to buy them. When you went to the gig you had to show the ID that you had used to book the tickets to pick them up and get in, it worked well, it was a smallish venue and it was a fantastic gig. I later saw them at the O2, but it was a completely different gig

When I last went to see rush in the 90s, the tickets were as cheap as a Wal

In a way, maybe it is better that groups are like this. Yes, Rush were cheap to go and see in the 80s, but they were a youngish band, now they are a legacy band so maybe they get a legacy audience that now have a lot of money. There are a ton of youngish bands that cost very little to go and see, maybe it is good that a younger audience have the youngish bands.

you got your song ready then?

The image is good and works, and I think over the years he has got a lot better at it. In 1990 in Portsmouth the atmosphere was good but the interaction wasn't great (mind you other stuff was going on for me at that gig). I saw them with my wife in a joined build with the Mission and FOTN in 2016 in london, and beforehand I said to my wife how Fotn weren't great with a crowd and the mission (who I had seen loads of times) were brilliant and it was exactly the opposite, so know knows, I am sure it will be great!

I am sure that if you are a power user the Live 3 is going to be great, but I am not there yet, for me the built in battery, and the fact I can sit and work at stuff without plugging in is great.

Looks great if you have the money for it. I got the Live 2 knowing that the live 3 was going to come out, I thought it was worth the risk, and it is, its great but no way would i have paid that!

Yeh, can work but then you get groups like Fields of the Nephilim, great stage asthetic, kind of boring live because a lack of interaction. I mean you don't have to get to the Steven 'shut up steve and get on with the song' Wilsons in depth discussions about things, but some sort of acknowledgement there are other people in the room can go well!

I would love to be in a group where we could do this

I have an MPX16 which I take live. i use it for the keyboard parts of 'in the end' by linkin park, its small and fits on my stand. i also used it at christmas to fill out 'stop the cavalry' and for a few other single shots. i have a single shot on my dwarf as a sound in 'baker street', and I have an organ sound that I play with my 12 step for 'brick in the wall'. The MPX and Dwarf/12 step are not connected. So I thought it would be nice to get the things together and bought an MPC-One. Loved that, played around with it but thought if I am gigging it was a bit more of a faff, so I upgraded to an MPC Live II, which were luckily cheaper as the Live III was rumoured. I haven't had a chance to get round to getting together what I want to get, but I do want to be able to trigger sequences, as well as playing the synth stuff through that - first goal is to get 'Power of love' on the footpedals through it, which I can't do on the MPX, as that is a pure sampler, and some of the synth parts on the power of love are the same chords but held longer. I am aware I could do that with a soundfont on the dwarf, but havent' got that far yet!

I consifdered the MPC keys, but then realised the stuff I needed was preprogrammed so got an MPC Live!

Maybe - my 4003 and 4004 are exactly the same size in both body and neck!

I have tried several warwicks, and none of them ever felt like a 4004 to me!

The 4004 is a great bass but I guess Rick trade on the iconic looks of the 4003. However, like everything ric, I am sure if they made more 4004s people would buy them, their business model seems to be (not unreasonably), make a set of small batches of a thing so there is always slightly less than people want of any product to keep the demand high. And it works well.
