    These are essentially the same as the fender ones in different packaging - D'addario make Fender's strings for them; so yes that';s my experience of these strings too (in Fender guise). I also have two identical Daphne blue tuners - one branded Fender and one branded D'addario.

    I can only get my head around this by seeing it on a graph. Power (W) vs. output (dBA)

    That's what makes it so bloody great 🙂

    It's a question of balance Roto 66 sound brilliant for a gig or three. Fender nickels sound ok, for six months. Flats avoid the problems by sounding meh from the start, and feel horrid.

    Good luck Dave. I've got 3 January gigs, 7 February and 7 in March 🤯

    Jeff Berk?

    Decided that playing only fivers would be a good idea for the originals band so took the HB MB5 to rehearsal tonight. I need more fiver practice (despite using it on Monday for a couple of songs). But it did put a grin on the lead guitarist's face (he's really a bass player). Also came up with a meme to sum up my evening... Yes, one song's arrangement got to the point where I bemoaned our lack of a flip chart or whiteboard.

    Clearly very roughly... you can't stick in an extra 100% power and see it all dissipated as heat.

    Didn't it come with a mains psu? Or are you just experimenting with a power bank?

    The really advanced drum machines can drop an entire beat, insert random fills and do an extra-loud snare hit when you bend down to adjust a pedal.

    Can't moan about that.

    I'd be interested to see the packaging.

    many people outside the US now hear 'Harley' and mentally add 'Benton'...

    Bendricks Rock tonight. After yesterday's excellent gig we focused on four new tunes. Another Girl Another Planet London Calling Alive Kelly's Heroes That last one wasn't very familiar for me, but is great to play - some subtleties and a wee bass solo. Overall four banging tunes, we're just angsting over what to drop.

    British Legion/Ex-servicemens clubs are a mainstay of local music these days, many are open to all.

    When a man is tired of buying basses, he is tired of life.

    Dedicated speaker poles are so cheap it's not worth making an adaptor and riskinc a nice astro tripod. About £20 on Amazon. Gorilla only £24.

    Not getting three songs down in over a week and a half is a pass too. Unless it was Rush...

    More red flags than a Soviet military parade.

    I wouldn't have purchased my US made Fender in the last 10 months or foreseeable future. Generally avoiding us brands where I can*. *after all, I helped bring down apartheid by boycotting South African wine...
