I have a weakness for these. https://www.italiastraps.com/ But only when they do their BOGOF deals.

When I was a lad I KNEW that unless you were playing in Weather Report, Lizzy, Floyd or Purple then .......... yeah.......... not really worth the effort. I knew for a fact that Madness were a bunch of clueless chancers who were clearly just there for the Craic. As I have realised in many aspects of my life, I was wrong. What did I know? Not enough, clearly. I have even read Suggs's autobiogrpahy and it was all "yeah, the lads were learning how to play as we went, we made it all up etc etc". That is clealry a narrative and not the truth. What there is, is a set of really well crafted songs with solid playing and good production values. There must be tons of good stuff I have missed over the years.

Trad.

Am I that transparent?

I feel myself inexorably being drawn into this .

There is the answer, right there.

I did this using a QSC KW112 and a KW118 (or whatever it is) sub. On it's own the KW112 with the deep switch engaged was lush. I was prepared for a tsunami of LF joy with the sub. Active 1Kw 18" driver. It was a massive let down. Yes there was more LF goodness but also an awful lot of LF badness.

There is stuff I have owned but sold that I really liked elements of. Getting captures of those would make this very attractive indeed.

It almost makes me want to try fretless. Again.

Now you are talking.

I have GAS for a really good setup with some fret levelling and a new nut. I live in a really good setup free zone. My GAS is and shall be unrequited.

I paid, it came. Would you expect anything else from Chris? Nope.

Very yes.

And the i found this from the one I just posted above

Matthew Ramsey: bass

One new set of Newtone strings - .55 to .140 with hex cores. It feels tighter and better. To be honest, I think I am right on the edge of what will work with the lower strings (possibly over the edge) and it is going to need some very careful setting up. But I have started so I will finish, and I do love an adventure! It will now be sent to a proper grown up to route a hole for the Delano pickup. If I had one of those Shaper Origin DIY CNC doobries I would do it myself. But then I would have to send it to a grown up who could actually measure properly to tidy up my mess.
