Stub Mandrel

As a child I found wearing corduroy as some form of cruel and unusual punishment. I'm pretty sure I have some sort of high sensitivity to touch. Manifested as a deep dislike of some textures and feeling certain sensations for an extended period. Aside from being a bit weird when you touch something and can still feel it for a while (generally until I get distracted) it can have its benefits as pleasant touch sensations can last as well.

No, power = V^2/R. R halves but V stays the same so power doubles. Or looking at current, Power = I^2 * R, current increases by 2 but resistance halves so 2^2 x 0.5 = 2, power doubles. The other half of the volume increase comes because you've doubled the area of the speakers. This is why a 4x10 can be louder than a 1x15, all other things being equal (they never are!) and a 2x12 is twice as loud as a 1x12 for the same power (assuming again that everything else stays the same).

But how do you define 'talent'? To some, it's who can play the most notes in a second, to others it's creating catchy, memorable songs. Well for the people who get upset, it's down to how they choose to define talent... But seems he DID find way to play it on two strings 🙂

I've pretty much got it now, at least the chorus, main riff and the first bass solo. Not quite ready to start the mountain of the second solo, but I play it every day and can pretty much do it right on the second attempt! Ha! Tried just now and I actually played it too fast 🤣

Some people get upset when those they feel have less talent but greater success than themselves get praised.

Opinions vary. I think that the band were trying to distance themselves from the commercialised smush like Baby I Love You.

They aren't real ones, just dirt cheap copies: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-6-in-line-Nickel-Tuning-Pegs-Vintage-Style-FD-Guitar-Machine-Heads-6R-Tuners/181056246223?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I had a nearly all black 80s Squier Indonesian Tele with really crap tuners, I fitted cheap black Gotoh copies for a slight improvement. Now I'm pimping it with a vintage look (mint green pickguard, vintage bridge, through body strings). I can't see how the cheap tuners can possibly be any worse than the Squier ones and will probably match the black ones.

This, but substitute 'millions' worldwide...

Fu$k the haters! Rock'n'Roll Radio is an utter classic (and the bassline uses all four strings!!) And Rockaway Beach. CNot at all influenced by the fact I spent about six years of my life known as Joey due to a certain resemblance...

Maybe it's mostly London. I've bought half a dozen things off eBay by second class post. ebay saying delivery may take up to a month, all arrived as quickly or quicker than normal. Greatly appreciate the PO and other delivery services keeping things moving ATM. Ordered some vintage machine heads from China a few days ago - that one will be interesting.

I'd be very surprised if it didn't. Are youi buying in teh UK? Distance selling regs mean you can return if they don't.

I'm a big fan of Joyo. The XVI poly octaver is outstanding.

I concur, a set of glass weighing scales gently tapped against the base of the loo as I slid it between loo and wash basin. It instantly transformed into granules, no injury.

While I wouldn't judge sound or playability from a photo, I think it's fair to criticise appearance on the basis of, well, appearance...

You can play two notes into a non-polyphonic octaver and two notes come out but that doesn't make it polyphonic...

That's how I understand it!

If it did that I would send it back with the comment that it isn't polyphonic... Yes, but tracking and latency aren't the same thing. As I said it avoids latency by using original signal, but it still has to track and process each note separately.

But it isn't. If you play one note, then another overlapping it applies a separate effect to each note. I know it blends the unprocessed signal in to reduce perception of latency, but it is truly polyphonic, applying different processing to each note so it must be splitting the signal? If they are not synthesising each signal from scratch but actually splitting and processing each not individually is actually more demanding as they have to determine pitch AND capture a waveform for each note.

How does the polyphonic bit work if it doesn't track?

I love this album:

There's a Richard Thompson concert on tomorrow, we're invited: https://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/events/2020/royal-albert-home-richard-thompson/

Problem is they cut your fingertips off...

Pimped my Tele...

Tokai SG Ibanez AS53 semi-acoustic pimped with getsch/DiMarzio pups in gold covers, scratchplate (and ex-gibson small knob Kluson tuners and Gibson knobs added after this pic). Squire Tele, with dimarzio stacked bridge pup, Gotoh-like tuners soon to get new pickguard, 3-bar bridge and through-body stringing. Kay 2-T,my first electric. Strange thing made with a neck out of a skip, cheap Floyd rose copy bridge, generic humbuckers and now a heap strat type body.

Surely that's a plus...?
