Thanks for the recommendation, the Freeze looks as though it will do what I want.

Does anyone know of a pedal that gives out a constant fixed tone (with a presetable pitch) - like a sine wave generator? I guess like an organ pedal but in a compact box.

This year I've changed my rig from all Fender Bassman to Ashdown ABM with a LFSYS Monaco which has been a fine upgrade, but the best investment has been to go wireless. The freedom to move around without a cable and to go FoH to have a listen has been a revelation. And that's all I have bought, so therefore the ABM/Monaco must be my worst!

A few years ago I sold a rather nice violin through Maple Violins of London (they sell all classical stringed instruments, despite the name). They were a pleasure to deal with. I took my violin to a local valuation session and they made me an offer subject to contract on the spot - I handed over the violin (I'm very trusting!) and was paid about a week later. They clearly had pro buyers on their books that they were sourcing instruments for. I can't remember what commission they took, but I was pleased with the final price. It was more that I think I could have got without a good knowledge of that specialist market. And giving it to a dealer to sell took all the hassle away from me.

I bought the M-Vave WP-5G system which was ridiculously cheap (around £30 IIRC) and it has been really solid.

have done for the last ten years. Either a Musicmaster, a Les Paul Tribute or a Junior Jet, depending on how the mode takes me.

the band I'm in covers 'Dreadlock Holiday' - what a fun song to play.

one of the best observations I've heard in a long time. It's certainly true for me.

I've put a Thunderblade in my Junior Jet, and it's been a really good upgrade.

sounds a fun set up
