For me, at least, there is something special in a connection with the past through artefacts. If the object can still be used for its original purpose, or even repurposed, all the better.

Tbh I can't tell on my phone.

It's real... put it back! I learned something today!

There's a lot of interest in old tech.

This looks suspiciously like a Jazz with a BBOT bridge?

The Shure SM58, introduced in 1966, has undergone numerous changes and improvements throughout the years, primarily driven by advancements in manufacturing and the need for greater consistency and durability, while retaining its core design and sound. Here's a breakdown of key changes and improvements: Component Updates: Shure historian Michael Pettersen estimates that the SM58 has gone through anywhere from 40-50 changes in components, mainly due to the microphone outliving its suppliers and the need for longevity. Impedance: The original SM58 had dual low-impedance ratings (150 ohm and 50 ohm) to cater to broadcast standards, but Shure now uses a single 150-ohm impedance. Production Processes: The SM58 has benefited from more precise tooling, new materials, and better production processes, resulting in greater consistency and increased durability. Rigorous Testing: Every SM58 undergoes rigorous testing to meet all specifications before leaving the factory, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. Wireless Systems: Shure has also developed wireless SM58 systems, allowing artists more freedom and flexibility on stage. SM58 LC: The SM58 LC (formerly SM58 LCE) is a version without a switch, emphasizing robust simplicity and is common for pro-level microphones designed for the stage. Grille Design: The grille is designed to dent when dropped, absorbing energy like a crumple zone on a car body. Unidyne III Element: The SM58 is based on the Unidyne III microphone element developed in the late 1950s by Shure engineer Ernie Seeler. Military Specifications: Shure adheres to rigid military specifications, ensuring the toughness and reliability of the SM58. Adaptability: The SM58 has been embraced by various musical genres, from rock and pop to hip-hop and beatboxing.

An interesting discussion of a similar problem here: https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=118696.0 Another possibility is that the PSU was plugged into a different phase than the mixer. Unlikely in a properly wired studio, but possible.

The Bastards are brilliant, their own material is excellent. I've got tickets for their home gig in Pontypridd this year, it will be awesome.

Country? Just cut 4" off your broomstick.

If the 9V adaptor is not earthed, it is possible for it to 'float' well above earth potential. This can be made worse if their is tracking or some other fault that allows live potential on to its outputs. But... if the mixer was plugged in and earthed the synth case SHOULD be at earth potential unless there was a significant fault. If you got a shock ftom the case that suggests it was live and not earthed and you provided a route to earth (e.g. via another bit of kit) OR something else was live and the synth/mixer were just routes to earth. I wonder if there was an earth lift somewhere in the chain that allowed some kit to rise away from earth potential. Hope you can sort this.

I have five or six basses with high mass bridges. Can’t say I notice any consistent difference with one.

We had a drunk lay into a security guy last Saturday. He'd already given me and the singer 'the eye' because he was in the way while we were packing up. The security were great though, and as we were loading out a complete arse harrassing a woman got taken down by the combined security of three venues. I commented to one of them that we could do with them on our rugby team...

Which fret is nearest where the nut would be on a standard 34" scale?

Has light theme been outlawed too?

Is thd output earthed?

Have you checked the plug pins are isolated from the output?

I paid £6,000 for this collectable 1960s Kay! Whoops. No I didn't, I paid £60.

Loosen Puke 😁 'Prescious' seems to be a typo.

I suggest you google "patina pickup truck"

I'm guessing the angled hole in the girst two pictures.
