Hard not to love everything they do, although that's a bit less diverse than most of their songs.

Hardly 'went on' as ELO were formed five years before Funky Moped... plus ELO came from The Move, a very successful band.

The padded cover is enough to cope with that.

I had the simple straight line but height adjustable bridge on my acoustic guitar replaced. The luthier fitted a bone bridge filed for intonation. To my surprise the intonation is spot on at the 12th fret.

Well... 'full' consumption is 880w which is 10% more than 800w which is consistent with 800w rms from class D. Peak values rely on instantaneous voltage peaks and are "powered" by stored rnergy in the PSU capacitors. Only useful to indicate headroom available for brief transients, so maybe useful for slappers at a push.

Yes, both would be tricky anyway as the poles drop down.

Too late now but what about india ink?

None more black.

Two sessions without it and my carpal tunnel symptoms get set off.

Car crash. People losing their way all over the place. Audience loved it, we had a painful but honest sit down afterwards.

Today...

Well done!

Lolz I was there last night for Snatch it Back. Was one place I had in mind. 😎

Thats fair enough. Its bands with endless excuses not to gig rather than being up front about it.

I've got Wilkinson nickels on a bass I made around an unfinished body and HB neck, I was impressed by the quality.

Perhaps if it was Bash Bas De Gymru, it would overcome objections from those in the north and marches? The question really is who is somewhere betwen Carmarthen and Bristol wo would be intersted in something happening in the middle? The Midlands BB, if it happens, is likely to be near Redditch so those in the marches have that. One thought is that an event in Cardiff could possibly happen in a club with a stage allowing us to have some informal jamming and maybe even a bar and a gig afterwards for those who want it.

What I can't grok are the bands that rehearse but don't gig. It's been frustrating with the 'perfectionist' cover band but second gig on Sunday and most of us raring to go - singer a bit apprehensive-he's the biggest worrier about getting things right and last night we had to tell him no tweaks! One run through the two sets and no changes! Blues band... about a gig a month at the moment, we've decided another four or five songs to swap in and will have rehearsed them 3 or 4 times before gigging them. Much hungrier to get out there. Love going to gigs. Now I've done a couple of open mike nights, discovered I love the buzz and meeting other musicians. By monday I will have done 1 gig, five rehearsals and seen one OM and five bands in nine days.

When I bought mine I was told "It's not for throwing in vans or taking on tour, but if you handle your own gear and take it in the car..." Which is fair enough, if you are moving loads of gear and have help, then a wooden cab make sense. This is the version for people like me who transport their own kit and take care of it.

So you've only had to hide it once? I have to hide it every week or two.

To me ostinato goes on forever, I mean something like a pattern that repeats for the verse, bridge or chorus. They say things like 'add another bar before the last verse'...

You do enjoy the last word. This is not life and death like the Covid thread...

The nominal UK voltage is 240 and the nominal European voltage is 220, but the tolerances are such that both can nominally be claimed to be 230. In practice UK can be as higher than 250 or more, and Europe lower than 210. This should have no impact on anything with a switch mode PSU, but unregulated transformer powered output stages may be noticeably less powerful in Europe as are kettles snd heaters. Certainly these differences should not affect functionality.

Having looked at this in sickening detail, digital calipers use two etched capacitative scales of different pitches that function in the same way as an etched vernier scale.

Only a temporary fix ....
