This is where it would fall down for me. I hate touch screens and panels with an intensity that most folk can't fully understand, myself included. The display part is fine. It's the physical buttons and knobs that I miss. Also, ONE set of buttons and/or knobs is easy to learn. Nested menus with a variety of different arrangements of clicky bits are hard to assimilate. I don't even bother these days. If something is nested behind a menu it simply won't be useful to me. I think it is because these devices are not tactile. I see some touchy keypads offer a vibrate function but that is hardly addressing the issue. I do admire the concept of shrinking hardware but I would need physical knobs and buttons large enough for my large hands to operate by feel if necessary. Miniaturisation just for the sake of it is a pain in the Adam's apple.

Welcome Danage.

I seem to have no problem with email alerts for incoming PMs. Is it something to do with the new authentication option (which I have not set up)? How many of those with this issue are using two part authentication now? Just a thought...

Nice bass. I have to ask though; How many feet do you own?

Welcome Jacob.

...and Jacob, welcome.

Welcome Steele also.

Sky Arts (Freesat 143) 21:20 22-2-25. The Moody Blues Live at the Isle of White (1970). I've meant to dig into their back catalogue for so long but I only listened to one or two albums so far. On the basis of those, I am looking forward to this program.

That is close enough for me to consider. I don't have that sort of money right now and I'm not gigging. Apart from that... I hope the seller gets a fair price. It looks well looked after.

Welcome IM.

Welcome Scoot.

Nice! I bet it'll look even better under stage lighting.

Does anyone else do this in Texas? I can't see any audience enjoying a fake performance. Texans though, aren't they all carrying sidearms? I'd walk.

Didn't BBC's Top of the Pops upset quite a lot of excellent musicians by making them mime to their own recordings? I'd ask your band to look up pre-live performance YT footage of the show and compare it to when the show finally managed to broadcast live takes. Then ask them which excites them more... The BBC had one of the best sound departments in the form of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. I have never heard why they couldn't produce with live performers when others in Europe could and did just that. The BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test redressed the balance somewhat but it got tucked away behind the 9pm watershed on what was seen then to be a cult channel (BBC2). Has history taught us nothing?

Welcome Mr McCreepers.

A thin but stiff strip of mild steel or aluminium from the centre of one side to the centre of the back would stiffen the back quite well. One from each side panel would be even better. Alternatively, brace from the top and bottom. Heck you could even brace from all adjacent panels but it would be overkill. PS: Looks like you got there by yourself. Looks good. Well worked out.

Nickel is less prone to flaking too.

Maybe I'm going senile but I am quite sure that I asked the question of someone else. Thank you for the photo however. Good luck

May I ask; What is your interest in this forum? I'd love to see your bass and rig.
