    I think the important question is 'have I got room for another one'? And there is most likely only one answer to that.

    And now a back from holiday bump.

    Well, a 4 hr rehearsal today with plenty of water - no cramps! Hopefully it is going to be that simple. Many thanks. Mind you, I was busting for a pee by the time I got home 😵

    I bought the Retrovibe one. I also discovered that the Route 66 bridge fell in the basket just before I paid. Currently both items plus the bass are in the hands of the guy who does my bits and pieces whilst I am enjoying a week in sunny Gran Canaria 😊

    I have a new and interesting thing to add to my medical portfolio. After the last couple of rehearsals, both quite long - on the way home my left (fretting hand) thumb seems to slide over and nestle into the palm. It doesn't bend or hook , just shifts over. I have to carefully push it back again, after which it is rather sore for a while. No idea what that is, some variant of trigger finger, I guess.

    Here's another one Well, why not .

    To be fair, it is a great song and hasn't changed much in 6 years.

    On holiday tomorrow for a week type bump

    Found a picture. Andyjr1515 did the work for me.

    Is it one of Ped's?

    Ted the Mechanic. Love this from the Morse era. Vocal is half spoken so Gillan's shot voice doesn't really matter.

    On balance they are prob the band I like the most. Anyway, I can't choose but here's a great live version of the Nos on Beat Club.

    I had a MM Sterling 5er. There was (just) enough room to fit a split P in the sweet spot, if reversed, and a new scratchplate to accomodate it. I put the original back in place when reversed to sell it on. Sounded lovely

    Sadly they are the only type I have. Man at Mencap

    I've had 2. Sold the first, missed it, found another, sold it and now miss it.

    Hohner B2B is bolt on. Also has passive with PJ pups, not EMG which sounded more organic to me. It was always my preferred model. Finding one is another matter, of course.

    Just glancing at the FBT ProMaxx 110A, wondering if that would have enough beans? It is significantly lighter again at 10.3kg, looks like it has the same amp but a different 10" driver. I am not versed enough in the data to make a meangingful comparison in my head.
  18. Paul S
    There, fixed.

    That is very interesting - a weight reduction that is worth having.
  20. Paul S
    Me too. As have my hips, belly and jowls. Any connection, do you think? Is that where we store new music? Possiibly the wrong thread....

    I guess that depends upon how it sits in the pocket. Assuming that a 35" scale length neck will be 17.5" from nut to 12th fret, it will have to be 17.5" from 12th fret to the saddle. Assuming the same number of frets, the bridge would have to be shifted 1/2" backwards.

    Bass > Boss WL-50 > TC Polytune > TC Spectradrive > RCF EVOX 8 PA if it is my band. At home/other band situations RCF ART 732-A. Bigger gigs to the desk of whatever they provide. Having no need for backline I have found to be both cathartic and liberating.

    Alternatively - an EQ/DI pedal and FRFR cab. It is what I use. RCF Art 732-A. Currently £100 off at Wembley Musci Centre, I just notiiced.

    I don't believe you misunderstood anything - it is clear to me you knew exactly what you were writing and viewed it as another opportunity to be sneery about people whose opinions and likes are mainstream. Another one for my ignore list! Marvellous

    I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread but I had a bitsa put together that has a 32" scale neck from a Hondo II H1015. The body was massively over my weight limit so I mated the neck with something else, after some fiddling with scale length and bridge position (an Encore double cutaway short scale) Entistle PBXN (yum). Boy, what a neck! 40mm at the nut, chunky in hand D profile. One of my nicest necks to play, I reckon. Fits my hand just perfectly and just that little bit easier to navigate than the long scales.
