  1. Indeed, either way it is a much better design, both from a pedal board space point of view and asthetically, with more than a nod to the original deep impact so well done those people.
  2. No, the president doesn't override the supreme court. He does appoint judges to it (or suggest judges, they have to be approved), but he can't sack them (which must be an annoyance to him). But you know, hes friends with Putin and admires his style and has appointed trump friendly people to the head of the police and military so maybe balconies will get more dangerous in the states soon!
  3. Oh that is a huge improvement. ok, clearly that knob next to the right footswitch is going to be crushed after a while, but still its a better pedalboard friendly thing, might have to pick up one of those when they are available
  4. Yes, they started making a few iPhones there now.
  5. Apple said that they would consider moving their foxcon plants from Mexico to the US - that isn't where the build the phones. There is no way that anyone would be able to afford the cost of a phone made in the US, especially as the only place the processors are made is in taiwan, which means that the chips for the phone would have to be imported from there, which means they would still face a 25% tarrif.
  6. Can't recall having a playing issue from a bridge (I had one that caught my hand badly so I replaced it), but I have had tuners that weren't great, including a few that broke (although one of the broken ones was a gotoh).
  7. ok, that is not something I would expect but I can see if you were it would be annoying!
  8. My rickenbacker came with an extra string - I would have never had the nerve to do that myself so yes, that was a genuine upgrade for me. And I have the original bridge.
  9. I wouldn't think it was that stupid, that is what I would expect it to do, if you have a two channel interface you are recording to two channels, left and right. I would find it very odd if it did anything else. If you don't want it to go to two channels, you would need to mix it afterwards or before which you could do in audiobus or whatever, or an external mixer before input.
  10. At a brief look, it looks like we are outside of that, because although we list items for people for sale, we don't facilitate those sales or have any trace of the reportable information, such as knowing if anything has been sold, what the sale price actually was, the location or actual identity of the person selling the item. But IANAL, so what do I know Although looking at the personal details on there, it does mean if you are trying to sell something like a Wal bass that you have had a decade you do need to report it for Capital Gains tax (or I guess you can take up farming instead)
  11. Well, the vintage basses that people are paying 3k+ for aren't because they are better basses its because they have a value due to their age or perceived rarity. It doesn't matter how bad a 1960s jazz bass is, its still going to be worth a lot of money even if it is virtually unplayable.
  12. There is no such limit - I suspect you have got close to your upload limit. I will check Yep, you have 488.18 MB of images against a limit of 488.28 MB (which is I guess 500,000,000 bytes)
  13. They are great things, I have one of the originals.
  14. Absolutely can't watch that - the earlier videos or live stuff is good, but as a fan of Rush since I first heard 2112 in 1980 (and bought Moving pictures at HMV the day it came out) I couldn't listen to them live for the last few decades, the singing is not something I can deal with. Don't forget to listen to 2112 if you like caress of steel.
  15. Well, yes, but you are always going to get bargains here or there, it doesn't make that the price of the item. It wasn't so long ago that many things were very cheap. My Gibson Les Paul cost me just over £300 a few years ago, other prices weren't as bad as they are now. And as you say yourself, if I had something that was selling at £140 I might be bothered to sell it, if it was £20, I couldn't be bothered to wrap it. That would keep the average price high.
  16. Why? I have one I have been gigging for 8 years
  17. That and Its a really cost effective way of spreading soft power - Oh all those bags of grain that are feeding me have a USA flag on, they must be the good guys, yes they can have a military base here. Oh USA are giving us money to develop our economy on the basis we don't attack israel, ok, thats fine. China still understand this only too well
  18. You edit the first post and that lets you change the title and add a price if you want
  19. Hmm - I had been looking at that from another thread, hadn't noticed its length
  20. and Wham (several times)
  21. Hi, I am after a gig bag that I can put any of my basses in, which includes my MM Bongo - unfortunately the bongo is longer than most at 121cm, whereas most gig bags are 119cm. So they sort of fit in if you take the straps off it and bend the edges a bit but it is not ideal. My old gig bag fitted but it is falling apart now, so I need something else.
  22. if you edit your first post and add the word sold at the end, it will auto lock
  23. Depends - in chinas case they subsidise their car makers, so it is already unfair on our domestic car workers, same as their aluminium
  24. Drummers have surnames as well? Well, there is something I didn't know!
