A company make these and sell them for good money. [indent=1][url="https://doniguitars.com/products/rebel-bass-4-string"]https://doniguitars.com/products/rebel-bass-4-string[/url][/indent] The body is just a 70s toy and someone had the bright idea of turning it into a guitar. The body is just plastic and on the toy the lid comes off; it's not quite as solid as a lump of ash, so I guess it was dropped and broken. I've got to get a replacement Millennium Falcon and rebuild it. I bought one on ebay but it got lost in the post, so I've got to get another.

I had a word with the seller to tell him it's not a Fender Stratocaster and he's amended the listing.

Every time I see a defretted bass for sale I think "I'll have to add £50 to get it refretted".

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1501954592' post='3348481'] Consider a mono soft case. More than adequate protection, certainly offers more cushioning and shock absorption than any ABS case [/quote] I once tried a Mono for a Ric and it didn't fit, so don't buy without trying.

Gator's big squared ones work, but they're pretty much the same size as the Ric one. Hiscox don't fit.

Delsey do some heavy duty plastic cases which I think are for make-up and suchlike, but they make great kit cases.

There seem to be lots of "luthier"s about these days. It's almost the guitar world's equivalent of footballers saying "obviously".

It's also on a couple of the FB forums; it sems to be doing the rounds again.

MIDI just covers switching events, like the pressing of a key or button or the turning of a dial, but it does not carry audio. You can think of it as being a bit like a remote control - when you press channel 001 on your remote, the remote doesn't know that it's time for Eastenders on BBC1; its job is just to blindly send signal 0, then 0, then 1. With MIDI, when you press the C key on a MIDI keyboard (aka Controller) it sends a signal down the wire saying Key C1 is pressed and when you take your finger off it sends another signal saying Key C1 is released; that's pretty much its most basic functionality! Now, the thing listening at the other end (the MIDI module) will receive that and act accordingly; it could be a MIDI organ and play a lovely pipe sound, it could be a drum synth and play the kick drum, it could be a lighting unit and turn on a parkan, it could be to switch on a feature on an FX board, or some other function which someone decided to produce something for. MIDI itself doesn't carry the sound/flash/whatever. It's a really simple system which can be interconnected to make complicated things happen. (When you add in the possibility of a computer program generating events, then it takes on an extra dimension.)

I've never really followed pop music and detest "Top 10" style lists; I honestly couldn't say who is in the charts right now. There are lots of recorded live shows on Sky Arts and other channels, typically from archives, as opposed to current live performances.
