Cheap String Retainer (information for the use of)
p4ul replied to p4ul's topic in Repairs and Technical
It might be my shonky 1980's Applause build.. the machine heads are not set as far into the headstock as a real Fender and so are not completely in line with the nut. the angle of doom is inherent in the OG build. Damn. Machine heads not in line + machine heads scalloped = badangles & buzz. Bugger. -
Cheap String Retainer (information for the use of)

even cheaper than the ones I got! similar sizing.. possible even slimmer on the string width -
Just in case you need some info I had an attack of the dreaded A string buzz on my pub project P bass never a thing for me before as all my bass are 2 a side. Partly this is due I think to the el cheapo scalloped tuner towers which force the string to ride center upward on the mid part of the tower, even with plenty of winds. With the straight sided ones you can get the string to lay lower to the headstock. Feel free to argue with me on this point. Did some digging for string trees and these came up on the bay, also mentioned on here somewhere "Gotoh Style" whatever that means 🤣 at £4.99, I am skint so this seemed doable. However, not as wide as advertised imho, here as pictured sitting on a 42mm nut at 9mm string spacing. It works but is playing havoc with my ocd and I am concerned it will bork the A string at some point or tear out of the headstock. [we shall see] Hope this helps someone avoid unnecessary sting angles in the headstock area by spending a lot more money on the Hipshot product, which looks to be way, way better.

Hello, selling a thing on reverb, just got an offer with a request for a video of the item to be sent over whatsapp.. seems like a scamy thing. but I am new to reverb. "Excuse me, could you send me a video of the product review via Watsap? I want to make sure that the product belongs to you, because I'm afraid of being caught by scammers. Watsap +44 738 909 8xxx" Anyone have any experience in scamland? is this just a gateway spoof to get me to loose my shirt and other items of clothing?

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
p4ul replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
Busking (not buskers, but the idea of busking fills me with an irrational dread. Stages, venues, pubs, studios no problem but busking 😱😱😱😱 and I need to do some as I'm skint) -
It seems that they are. I had no idea that the piped even existed which shows that I’ve been living under a rock. On the upside, Roland might make a better fist of it than Behringer though.

Priced to sell - 1987 CHOPSON IV

I am not sure what this pedal even does... but I do want to try one out. Roland Says "Project LYDIA comes with a special version of Neutone’s Morpho technology optimized for low-latency tinkering and live performance. Morpho learns the tonal qualities of a user-defined sound and applies these qualities to an input signal as a creative effect. In academia, this is sometimes referred to as “timbre-transfer,” but Neutone believes a better name for this may be “neural sampling.” 🤯 🧠 🤯 https://articles.roland.com/introducing-project-lydia/
