I guess that is what she meant, but hard to get the whole story as it wasn't from her, it was from her friend who was kind of taking the p out of her. She was pretty impressed with the bass though!

Bluetooth headphones themselves not great for playing bass through, you get quite a delay, but connecting your music via bluetooth with some other headphones, that is an easy enough thing to do

Sounds very much like a stones album, which is I guess what you would expect. So yes, they are in their 70s/80s doing music which is good, and if you like the stones I would imagine you would like that. I suspect if you pick the right AI and tell it to write a stones album it would come up with something similar, but what would you expect the stones to do - not really a time to change style now is it. Not sure of its relevance to this thread though. eta - unless you mean that people that like this wouldn't like that? I don't think that is true, you can like wildly different music types, just that I was never a particular fan of the stones, don't hate them, just they never did anything for me.

Was last week, on the friday. We started practicing in a new venue, one that we had played a new years on about 6 years ago and had been through managers since then. They said it sounded like their sort of music so gave us a gig there. Set up easily enough, not very crowded. Were supposed to start at 8:30, which is early for us but the landlord said it was up to us, the place was generally dead until 11 when the floods came in from the other closed venues in the town so we could start later if we wanted a bigger crowd. we opted for later and a longer break. There was a woman at the bar who was amazed the drum kit was seethrough and had lights in it, and asked if it was supposed to be like that (not sure what she meant, did it accidently have lights in it?) so was pretty blown away when I got my acrylic bass out, which I have now changed the blue lights in the body for green, and looks better. There was a buzz in the PA which was driving the singer mad but I couldn't hear (which is odd, I passed my hearing tests a year or so back), but we had 5 minutes trying to stop that, and then it just went, so I suspect it was a dodgy PA lead, will have to buzz them out again. first half went well, small but appreciative audience, no major issues. Second half quite a few people had come in which coincides with our more party / fun half (first half a bit rock and blues, second half more ska /. disco and pop) and that went down well. Sure enough at 11, there was a flood of younger people in, and it really picked up again. Could have done a few more songs in the end but as usual our guitarist decided we had to stop there, so we did. Still, better to go leaving them wanting more.

Probably are still dogs but are now considered valuable dogs. Once the cost thing gets into your head it starts changing how you perceive things and I guess it has the advantage if you know that if you want to change it, you can get more money than you bought it for it can be worth trying . Sure there are some good 70s ones, but I don't think it matters as much now they have value.

I quite like the first couple of minutes of game theory. Then it gets a bit too random for me. Certainly listenable but I can't imagine going back to it much. I will give the whole album a listen though.

Its a national average of what was spent, not what was received.

I want my speaker to do as little colouring as it can and just put out what the amp gives out. if I want muffled I will do that at the amp.

Had the 305 and there was something special about that pickup, great sound, just couldn't get on with the neck. Good live bass though, great sound and built like a tank!

Aren't they the same?

Just going from the specs isn't he - the Bose F1s are listed at 1000W head and 1000W bass (more conservative than others, my old altos are listed as 2000W, be impressed if they were 300w), and there are indeed a combination of 11 heads and basses Does seem kind of odd though that as they are 4k for a set of 2 tops and 2 bottoms, you would pick 4 tops and 7 bottoms!

I assume he just bought a load of Bose F1s full systems, although he must have some money for that lot

Would be handy for one of those blues brothers bottling things - maybe use it to play reading festival!

They probably need the volume, look they have 3 bass players! Those speakers do look handy to hide behind though

Both ends matter to me - I had a 5 string that had good (ie, 17.5) spacing at the bridge but felt really wide at the nut, and in the end I just found it a bit tiring to play for a long time, so I ended up not using it, so it got sold.

Wow - do they really go for that? I mean it is an old lump of wood with strings on it. Cant be that many stock broker walls surely?

Its where G&L live, Fender avenue, Fullerton, so is it an American G&L or a Tribute.

Pretty much the same here. We have a whatsapp group but a lot of questions go unanswered.

Not really https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-373?language=en_US#:~:text=If you are making a,refunding any sales tax paid. Remember if you are buying from a shop there is the state tax and also possibly a city tax (that isn't listed in the price). TBH, the best way is to buy something that even if you have to pay vat and import duty in the UK it would be worth it, like if it is really cheap or something unique, then if you have to pay that tax you are prepared for it and still happy, and if you don't it is a good result.

Or maybe EMG could make an ibanez sized pickup.

Looks great, the same colour scheme as my Maruszczyk elwood

Ibanez to come up with some punchy and memorable names don't they?

Well, yes, it is music as we know it, ie.. just normal music theory, I think the only reason it can seem odd is if you had never done any music theory. Its stops you having to make random exceptions for certain keys, so that in all keys you have all notes represented - if you are reading sheet music how would you represent a 'normal' a# vs a? If you are changing it you would put a sharp in front of note, but if every a was either an a or a#, it would be tiring to read without going through it first. If you don't read music, then I agree it can seem a bit odd, but then if you don't read music, why does it matter. I don't read greek and it kind of looks all greek to me!
