Fascinating stuff! Solid body electric instruments are so much easier! I remember now, the maths involved in calculating vibrations on a cylinder top/drum head/speaker cone are Bessell Functions. Which I haven't used or needed since university 😊

I can see the bottom two braces aren't symmetrical with the centre line of the top, presumably to avoid unwanted resonances. Where to the notches go, is it all by ear or is there maths and measurement to start with?

Darling, I'm building a vibrator, can you help me? p.s. please post on Build Diaries, in English.

Do you have the designs or details on these? I'm thinking the hardest part is the transducer, did you source that or build your own?

I initially wondered if your drummer not turning up to the sound check was a regular occurrence....

Welcome aboard! A folk band that sounds " a bit rage and a bit chilli peppers"? Sound clips please!

From which I conclude that The Terrortones wrote far more and almost certainly better songs than I have to date.

I think the conclusion is that it's not parasitic. BUT there are two important lessons: 1. If you play covers you should do the honourable thing and submit your set lists to the PRS so that artists do get a share of the pie (even though it IS the venue's responsibility) 2. If you play originals, especially if you wrote them, then you absolutely should submit the set lists, otherwise you will miss out on 2½d per year royalties. ( 3. @Dad3353 must be a great employer on a T&M basis, but don't ever put an apostrophe in the wrong place)

Welcome aboard!

Double pun post, well played.

So of things are paid out pro-rata, there must be some idea of who is playing what all the country to determine the share?

Welcome aboard!

My understanding was that the venue should be paying their PRS fees, and asking you for the setlist for their returns, so that artists do get paid. Is that not how it works now? Happy to be corrected, as my experience is with copyright for churche services, cafés and livestreaming.

Ooh! Can I have lessons please? I've heard of people who can do that, they sometimes call it "Grace" I think. Nice setup, any good for metal?

No. Though I might be worried about a band called "Jane Leech and The Big Ticks"

We're an accommodating bunch. There are even a few lead guitarists here too. They're the shy ones at the back, by the way. 😉

To which you replied "Of course, provided you get an electrician in to look at the wiring as I think you have an earthing problem, which could be dangerous"

A much better, and cleverer album than I expected.

Welcome aboard, sir! I now have a whole new interpretation of the lyrics to Mustang Sally. 😁 Lots of church bassists on here, there's a Playing in Church thread specially. You'll find the UK scene a little different to the US, but we all still moan about the worship lead changing the keys of songs...

I'm waiting for your scratch built bass with plywood body, though in the meantime I'll enjoy the more normal builds and admire the floor. Headstock design ideas? Here's 15 pages of them

My grandchildren, if and when they arrive, will be lucky to get anything more than cotton-reel tanks and a pram-wheel go-cart.
