Happy Jack

[Soap box enabled] Every lead is always coiled after a gig. Every lead. Always. A coiled lead takes up less space, doesn't knot, doesn't become entangled with other leads. With a little practice, any lead (yes, including 10m ones) can be successfully coiled in about the same time as it takes to stuff a rat's nest into a bag. I only let bandmates touch my leads once I know that they know how to coil them properly. If they don't know how, then I show them. [/Soap box] If you want your cables bag to last a long time, don't waste your time with normal luggage or nylon sports bags, buy a tool bag. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=tool+bag+large&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Better still, search for Stanley FatMax 1-93-935 Waterproof Toolbox 28inch That will give you cable storage that can also be used as a step-up when you need to route cables or lighting (or whatever) near the ceiling of the venue, can be used to put a combo or lights on to get them off the ground at gigs, and can keep vulnerable pedals safe when travelling to/from gigs.

Or perhaps the colour balance in the OP's photo has been distorted by the presence of peach-coloured plastic sandals?

It's a screen thing. I posted that pic because on my screen it's so obvious that the bass on the right is the correct colour while the bass on the left is wildly different.

The two Mike Lulls that I've bought which actually came with anything both came with better-than-Fender hardcases. The case for the T5 is particularly impressive.

My Clarus II needs service/repair ... not keen to send it to Raleigh in Virginia so where in the UK would be best for this?

I'm waiting for the extra-long 12" version.

They were new in 2011 and selling for about $700 new.

Is this guy a spectacularly good drummer? Or does he maybe bring in all the gigs for the band or something?

So anyway @Nicko, what do you want to do?

I want to know how the Chinese know what size of pick I use. I don't even own a Huawei phone ...

I'm waiting for superglue to put in an appearance on this thread.

That's an excellent video, but yet again it underlines the damage done by tinnitus. I genuinely hear no difference at all between those two Presence settings. Whatever is happening is happening close to the frequencies where my hearing is most damaged.

So did you ever get your adjustable bridge?

My bands continue to observe all Government advice and guidelines. Question.mp4

You'd need to ask Adam ...

Unless you're looking for a grungy feel to the video, or a deliberately handheld shot-on-the-cheap video. Here's @Low End Bee with his old band in a room above a pub in Brentford ...

Had a trawl through my archives, but that's a bust I'm afraid. Those photos are long gone.

Custom paint job after the original tank got wrecked in a rather unexciting get-off. It was supposed to be 'Vintage Gold' but all the guys in UKBEG (the UK Buell Enthusiasts Group - my first online forum and the origins of Happy Jack as my user name) started calling it the Duracell bike.

You haven't left room for @ped to sign them!

Two years since the last post, but still an occasionally relevant thread.

Blimey ... nine years ago.

Amusing as that image is (and it's now in my head) I'm going to call TYPO and suggest that should read 're-valved'.
