  1. It's a shame when you're wishing away 6 months of your life!
  2. I think a compressor might even help a tuner,as it will give a more stable signal.
  3. Some people shouldn't be allowed near power tools, or even a screwdriver.
  4. The ones with the fake drums louder than the bass really detract from the demo. Overall the sounds weren't bad and pretty much covered what I'd use it for - a replacement for a load of sounds which can be used for effect rather than as an alwaye-on/preamp unit. I have mine in a switcher loop so it's out of circuit when not being used.
  5. 🙂 I just fancied trying one out. If I like it, the mapleglo might get one too.
  6. It's going to be fitted to my jetglo 2010.
  7. This arrived today.
  8. I hear good things about the Fender Jazz Geddy Lee model, but if I got one I'd have to replace the pickguard, 'cos I don't want to be Geddy. I'd also consider an Alembic Stanley Clarke, because I have a couple of old albums with them on the cover. I might consider a Rickenbacker Chris Squire model, but he said they sound nothing like his one and they are way overpriced (they're not actually his bass, folks). Similarly I'd have one of the Rickenbacker Lemmy models, though I'm not a Lemmy fan but I just like the styling; however they're way overpriced too.
  9. It doesn't look quite right to me, but then the camera shots are like they were done in a hall of mirrors. That said, this is one of my MIM Precision's headstock.
  10. I have one of these - it's probably the best pedal I've ever owned.
  11. I was half-inclined to make an offer, but I just plain don't get the idea of a headless with regular tuners at the opposite end; I thought the same about a real Kramer I saw a while back.
  12. Spotted on Facebook, £150 . https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1724614328036845/ (I didn't know they had aluminium necks and a search brought me to this thread.)

  14. Yep - I wouldn't buy a new one for that reason.
  15. All of this Squier malarky - anybody who pays £590.00 for that is a fool.
  16. Just imagine rehearsals, or sitting in the van going to a gig.
  17. (Squier.) You can check the necks are the same scale length by putting them face to face and confirming that the frets and end of fingerboard align precisely. As to fitting, it just depends whether the screw holes line up. A word of advice (as much to myself as you!) always make sure you have the exact right size screwdriver for the neck screws or you will mash the screw heads.
  18. It was equivalent to something like a 50% price increase (ie. you would need to by one and a half bars to get the same amount). I've never bought a Toblerone since; I didn't know they'd reverted the change.
  19. Yep - totally hacks me off; it's like they're looking you straight in the eyes whilst they're ripping you off! I've taken to shopping at Costco, where things are BIG! It may or may not be cheaper, but try finding that size in the supermarkets. (I haven't bought a tin of those, BTW.)
  20. The bars have about halved in size too - halved in size & doubled in price = 400%, so really not worth buying.
  21. I think mine may have been a 286 - I'm needing to have a clear-out, so will see what I find. I've still got some hard disks, keyboards, mice, cables in need of sorting out too.
  22. Ah yes - I had one of those cards; might still be somewhere around.
