I have no need of a LP, but I did wonder how much it would cost to have binding put on it. Tragic.

How about one you could retro fit so that it screwed in with the backplate of a machine head? Always there but invisible from the front.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1450691668' post='2934835'] That already exists, look for N-Tune. No specific bass version, so dunno if it's bass suitable (and I couldn't find an official website on cursory search) [/quote] There goes my retirement fund

I am on a roll here. Surely someone could make a tuner which would fit into a volume pot.

The logical thing to do would be to install one using side LED dots on a neck. Octave dots = in tune. Either side sharp or flat. It all sounds so easy.

You could look at the Boss SYB5 which does this. As it happens I have one to flog

Scalpy is obviously taking you all for a ride. A singer looking after the PA? Just SO unlikely. Who has EVER experienced such a thing?

I have the basswitch. I have been using it for DB/bass guitar duties. It is a lovely piece of kit. It churns out enough level to drive a power amp. I cannot speak about the tonebone but I did try a TB EZ pre which has the same switching thing as the basswitch but it does not drive a power amp.

That is a very lovely colour combo. I am aware that this is a totally useless post!

I bought Steve's 3 Leaf Enabler. It arrived in record time and everything was lush.

A way of registering interest with the seller would be very useful.

I like it a lot. When can I buy it? How much will it be?

I have three older Mackie SRM350 cabs. 10" speaker and PLENTY of welly, especially it you can take out anything beneath 80Hz. Which takes us on to the mixer. A digital mixer will offer you SO much more than an analogue by now. With a digital one you whack everything beneath 80hz off all your monitor feeds to keep everything nice and clean. You are likely to have 6 aux sends on one so that you could give everyone in the band a seperate monitor mix. You could use in-ear through a Samson headphone amp, some extension leads and perhaps some Sure SE215 headphones. MUCH lighter than wedges. The Mackie DL1608 seems to be going for less than £400 on ebay by now - you would need to add an iPad and a wireless router. If anyone has an iphone they can control their own monitor mix.

I have flown with my NS 5 EUB in a Peli (actually an Explorer) case and it was fine and dandy. Go for one with wheels cos wheels are cool.
