Thank you for validating my post 🙂

Send me your narcotics, please! Where to start? There is no resentment felt across Europe for Britain, particularly when it comes to the likes of music, comedy and other artistic pursuits, which are massively respected. Your view is a lie sold to you by multiple governments and media sources to make you think Europe was to blame so so many of Britain's recent and not so recent failings. Brexit's not like the brochure, eh? Ever wonder why? Your second paragraph perfectly illustrates why there should be resentment, however. The Ibiza tourist of posts. Take your head out of your arse, lad. As you say, the UK entry was rubbish. Grindr visuals with music not fit for a Wetherspoons advert. Yet you somehow think there's a larger movement at play which was behind other countries not voting for such a terrible song? Was 2022 that long ago? Show some respect, send something entertaining and you get votes. It's oh so simple.

Link please.

EMG pickups don't need to be earthed. Not sure if that applies to all active pickups, however.

Yep, clear all the way, or even clear with a coloured tint for a bit of intrigue.

What sort of hours have you been putting in, morning to... early evening?

I started using a D'Addario .149 a few years ago on a 4 string ESP Jazz which I usually tune BEAD but sometimes go down to low G#. To me, it feels about the same tension as the .105 I usually use in E. I like a bit of pushback from the string, not into the limp spaghetti feel at all. It's got authoritaaaah and meat. I love it.

With the cross-proliferation of media and regular exposure to other cultures and languages, the prospect of being surprised by Latvian quirkiness is probably unlikely. The last few post-covid cancellation editions have had a few very listenable songs sprinkled throughout but last night was a bit of a stinker, I thought, musically. Still entertaining, but there wasn't a song I'd ever want to hear in the future. Roll on tomorrow, though. We go again 😁

The original Precision pickup cover sits quite close to the strings, could be an option?

I've seen more of that Finnish lad's hairy arse than I would ever have wished but at least it's not another dose of angst-pop. Terrible, but entertaining.

I haven't watched the Eurovision since 1956 but it's awful every year and I needed to tell you all! Nah, not really, just wanted to be first to say it, this year. The bar has been set low so far, but we live in hope there might be something good.

Correct. Volume; Blend; Bass and Treble Boost/Cut; Notch Filter plus the mid Boost/Cut on the board. IIRC it's the one by the batteries there.

Upload jpegs, I can't see that type of image file. I've had both types of Godlyke preamp and it sounds like you have the Gen 1. The mystery knob is a notch filter (cuts up to -20 dB @ 850 Hz) on front plus one internal trimmer for Midrange Boost/Cut. If the trim is at center position, midrange would be flat.

Well done, Andy

The drama!!!
