Other than my wife's Christmas cake, my dad's Christmas Trifle and Esther's Banoffee Pie, very little (that I want to discuss in public) makes me happier than extended LF. Obviously all good things need to be used in moderation and very carefully. I have not always managed this which explains my weight - both physical and tonewise on occasion. The space proper bottom end needs to breath means that it is impossible to monitor what is hitting the punters between the eyes when you are onstage, so yes, very careful set up and monitoring is imperative. BUT, all these things considered - a properly crossed-over sub will take over the heavy lifting from a cab on a pole kind of cab and will increase the headroom for those louder gigs. I am not sitting here saying everyone should get a sub, and in 98% of situations it would be superfluous. But the other 2% are lots of fun

I recently bought a 6 string EUB with the intention of fretting it and stringing it F# to G. This is an itch I have been wanting to scratch for about 20 years. Could anyone suggest a luthier who would be stupid skilled enough to take on such a task?

A sub will provide extended LF goodness which might or might not be a good thing. What it will also do is provide more headroom. Whether more headroom is needed is a point for debate.

I used to resemble that remark a long time ago. Mackie SRM 450 top and SRS something or other 15" sub. I am sure the punters were drowning in extended LF, but I cannot deny it - I was having a great time.

Peaches. Especially if that song is innapropriate for the venue. Most people are clueless, but there is always at least one person who will get it.

Faded Gentry. Nice.

D tuners are the bomb. I have them on everything (and that is too many). I even have one on my DB.

People will pay it. Why would they not sell it at that price then?

Ha! Bows! A whole new world of GAS pain. I have played on some REALLY nice bows (thousands and thousands of £) and it is like someone is doing the work for you. Bonkers.

So, anything happening for us to drool over?

Uber-geeky. Respect is due.

Absolutely.

Very yes!

I went once. It was GRIM. Proof that no one should ever go to a festival where the weather is not 90% guaranteed good. It was beyond awful.

No. You get access to BC Gold. Apparently.

Hyperbole on the internet!!!!!11!!!! If only I had been aware of such a phenomenon. FWIW I enjoyed his playing. Nice and fluid.

I am not here to comment on the bass, but I would LOVE to get my hands on some wooden machine head buttons like that.

Yep, one of these would be massive overkill (not that that has stopped me before). I was looking for a blue tooth mouse idea but had not actually put 2 and 2 together. Thanks

I like to read in bed on my kindle app on my phone. In a perfect world I would have my phone on a bracket and be able to turn pages with a little bluetooth hand held page turner. Does such a thing exist. I am aware that I am approaching extreme levels of laziness here. Feel free to judge me, I just do not care.
