Oooh...

I just use generic sheets off eBay. There are two types, white and clear. If you use white you have to trim very carefully, but colours (rather than black) on clear will come out transparent*. I use an inkjet printer. The best lacquer I've found is Windsor and Newton Gloss, several coats to build a nice strong decal. The body decal on this guitar is the biggest I've done. You can see how the yellow is translucent, if not transparent. Grey works fine on pale maple for 'Fedner' style decals. *Unless you have one of the legendary old inkjets that had white ink and can source the ink!

Thirded. I also love Blues Power with Bernard 🙂

Crikey moses, is Lee Aaron still going? I saw her at Reading in 1983!

Has to be a provisional answer as I'm waiting for some out of stock items, but this pairing: Worst purchase was the Stagg 1/4" jack to speakon cable, the jack is about 2mm short and the vibration causes it to self-eject from my Elf causing trouser-browning silence...

Virtuosity before musicality, IMHO.

If the screw comes loos on the old style, the button will tend to slip if the strap causes rotation. With the new screw button any rotation will tend to unscrew it.

My signature bass would have four ounces of lead in the headstock, slightly misaligned pickups just to annoy people. The protective film on the pickguard would be slightly damaged but bonded in place to9 prevent removal, just to annoy me.

Speed up T-cut by fitting one of these in a hand drill. Haven't tried the polishing bars, just the mop : https://www.toolstation.com/polishing-set/p58727?store=MJ&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=515847200309&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_fiLBhDOARIsAF4khR2Ekji3rAefGFLzcQH9umTrQ96q81MkafJmYZTjQdKIoT9vAG2SwfwaAu_YEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Well most of us have enough mercury in our teeth to kill a horse, if t was in a mobile form.

It's quite funny looking at Within You Without you on UG to see how earnestly people defend their fingering as being 'how Adam Clayton' does it because they can 'tell by the sound'. I notice that on the live at BBC video he plays it a semitone down and uses both the A and E strings (and looks completely bored). And that's probably one of the simplest basslines of all time...

Heres a nice blues we cover, with some unusual changes that make it interesting. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fxMe8o5K5h0

We used to play that in Drastic Action. Circa 1987

18V can compensate for poor design, allowing you to be careless about gain levels during processing. In theory, you don't need that headroom even if processing signals for line level inputs.

Here's a good one... bolt and shackle. Where's the nut? 🙂

If we really want to have fun... Should you use a plain washer under a nut? When using a thin lock nut, should it go on top of or beneath the full nut? What is the optimum thickness of a full nut? and... What is the optimum size of hole for tapping a thread? (Don't answer these, as any of them could fill a forum...)

The basic problem is a 'bolt' was originally a cylindrical object that secures something by fitting into a hole. Fixings with a thread on the end and a head at the other with a shank that fits a hole become known as bolts. A screw thread, is, well, a thread. By extension, the term 'screw' applies to any threaded fixing. So all screws are screws. Most screws can serve as bolts but usage is a poor definition as something can be classified differently depending on how it's used. Only self-cutting screws are definitely not bolts, and even then it is possible to get 'wood bolts' with a self-cutting thread and a plain shank for fixing metal to wood. One thing that is interesting is that it is fairly easy to make machine screws and bolts. Making self tapping or taper screw threads is much more tricky.

Yes? And...
