I've got loads of Sunday afternoon gigs lined up for '26. They are great - don't interfere with my social life or work!

Unleash the bear!

Oh yes... I missed the Ozrics

My partner cut me 3/32" dots from white high-stick vinyl. They last about a year before needing replacement and don't cause any harm.

Here's an example of a club that does it right. One thing they do is allow promoters to puit on gigs in 'the Hall'. In the last few months we've had Focus and Curved Air (not tributes). I've got five gigs there across three bands next year. It's a brilliant place to play.

Skywatcher 66ED cell. ZWO guider on one of my home-made bitsa guidescopes. The cooler is an online design that uses a copper plate slipped between the sensor and the next circuit board. I 3D printed a cover to help insulate it and support the peltier, heatsink and fan. Quite tricky to get right as you have to make a heater from resistance wire to go around the sensor to stop condensation and get the right balance of cooling and warming! Camerea also has the IR/UV filters stripped out. Made a huge difference, but then I got a big cooled mono ZWO and a filter wheel. Sadly, not got up to much since 2021. I think this one is with the ED66. After this, I'd better shut up and let the thread get back to speaker cabs!

I like the relatively modest output of vintage pickups, I'd say they are pretty spot on for a vintage sound.

At last we see it! Well done.

It takes some experimenting, but I've done just that. I built thus scope, Including the focuser, around an ED lens cell. Won a silver medal for it

Recently posted in another thread. Check out the pups on Tina Weymouth's Mustang.

Looks like the perfect venue for a Christmas concert... must feel odd having anything else there!

I never noticed that before! Going to have to refresh my memory of it, it's a delight to play. Haven't played it live for 35 years... Also... I know Tina Weymouth is a Mustsng player but check out those pickups.
