    It was utterly esoteric and engrossing. Really long and detailed build thread.

    Nice noodling; love the tones with the DG eq on it.

    You might not need the band on an individual, marginal basis, but I'd argue society benefits from creative endeavour - it's just that society doesn't want to value it fairly.

    @Andyjr1515, @TheGreek: Psilos has hidden controls, I’m sure: didn’t it have a hidden pickup too?

    Ooh hidden controls; nice work!

    Aah, of course. R**kenbackers. (Wink)

    Sounds like a job for @GisserD if you aren't insistent on a metal housing. I wonder how many large boxes could be reehoused considerably smaller. I get the fancy delays etc. with multiple ins and outs need space for the sockets, but there are some older pedals, simpler ones, in big boxes.

    The French do get a lot of baguette, sorry, stick, for things that aren't their fault!

    Depends who you ask - if you ask a GQP voter they'll probably tell you it's about 50/50.

    So you've never had the job of your dreams and felt obligated or pressured (by yourself) to stick it out and make things better, and later having too much inertia (and yes, dosh) to consider leaving yet. I'd have left my current job years ago if I was half as brave as all the keyboard warriors who complain about employees standing up for their rights when being treated horribly, while staying put. Jason's situation may be a little better - but did he want to be labelled as the whinger who quit Metallica after a couple of years because they wouldn't let him do what he wanted - that's exactly how band management would have sold it. By all accounts he enjoyed touring and certainly did better creatively out of Load and Re/Load, so maybe he did achieve something in the end.

    Creatively it is. If I discovered half my monthly reports were never read or had the titles changed and given out as something else, I'd be pretty miffed, despite receiving a fair salary.

    No, they're Norwegian. *cough*

    The Ibanez GVB36 possibly? That's 14mm spacing - barely widens at all from first to last.

    My best mate’s from Witton Gilbert, he was always on about Prefab Sprout. Think at least one of them went to his local college too.
  15. Daz39
    Yes, he @ someone, which pops up in notifications. It’s faint lines, and really nice to play.

    Same, same colour, lovely range of tones and a really nice neck.

    It’s come on a bit since I had a Zoom 4040 in err 1995! What a load of cool noises that made.

    Cor - nice plank.

    I do like a profile gauge: sadly mine is currently being used to help cut laminate around a toilet base and waste pipe…

    Dang. That’s flatter than a baby asleep face down in their cot with an arm and leg hanging down the edge of the mattress.

    The first album was great, I really liked it - it came just after The Man Who from Travis (another great album), and was always on the car CD player for a year or so. I agree that the next few albums saw a slow decline from interesting arty-pop, (Hey, I liked Keane too), and into annoying stadium anthems (I hate 'get your lighters out' songs). I think it's become trendy to hate them - the same way U2 became people's favourite 'what happened to them?'. I'm probably a decade too old but a great number of relationships were probably started by meeting your mate's mates at Coldplay gigs/festivals.

    Well, that's why he did the Time Machine live tour

    To this day, no one has explained the Hazarai function on EHX delay pedals to me, so I dunno - it's a button, it does something. I've seen lots of arguments about the need for XLR outs, or cheating with an adaptor/cable. Dunno - surely it wouldn't cost much or take too much space.

    I agree - exclusivity and branding does mad things to a purchasing brain. I am somewhat of a fan - I bought my first bass after hearing the Hold Your Fire album in 1995, I have Geddy's BBBoB, all of Neil's books, all of the music, some DVDs, some t-shirts (crikey, fanboy alert). So I am sorely tempted. I was tempted by the YYZ but couldn't justify the cost. But this has an extra footswitch and button!! C'mon!!!

    £479 less VAT is £399. The difference will be the variables in shipping and import duty and distributor cuts. I suppose the true test of a rip-off is to find a UK-made pedal and compare what we pay here with no import/shipping costs.
