Count Bassy

I think they have a narrower head than standard screws of the same thread size, so if you can't get the real thing you might need to find a screw that fits through the hole and then grind the head down so that it goes down as far as it should.

I refuse to use amazon for anything these days due to the appalling way they treat their employees.

Looks OK to me, but not at that price.

In theory a three bolt neck should be more stable in the same way as a three legged stool is (three points will always lie on a plane). - as long as there are no lumps in the wood work. BUt then again if there are no lumps in the wook work a 4,5, or 6 bolt set up should be perfectly adequate as well.

We like both kinds of music here, Country and Western (Well someone had to say it.)

Looks alright to me. No worse than a fender headstock.

I thought that there was pretty conclusive evidence that a CD or uncompressed (file size wise rather than acoustically) digital format matches or exceeds vinyl in terms of reproduction fidelity. Compression in an acoustic sense is more a case of current (annoying) production practices rather than the medium used, and, as has already been mentioned, the RIAA standard for vinyl recordings includes compression and decompression of the bass anyway. Some people might prefer the sound of vinyl over CD etc, and it may indeed sound 'warmer' (I quite like vinyl myself), and this is perfectly valid, but to claim that it is a more accurate reproduction seems unfounded. The other thing with vinyl is that it inherently degrades every item you play it. It might sound wonderful the first time, by the 100th time it won't sound the same. Personally I am more interestinged in listening to the music rather than the quality of reproduction.

Why, if I may be so bold?

My worry is what you will find once the glue is out. I wouldn't be surprised to fins a stripped thread. Does superglue soften at all with heat - e.g. a soldering iron??

or a band name?

He gets around a bit considering he's meant to be in the basement.

And he always so long at the fair.

But good for your vitamin D.

I love church organs for the bass, literally an earth moving experience. Unfortunately you really have to be there as any sensible loudspeaker/PA cannot do it justice.

Surely an 'upgrade' should give some tangible improvement, and by tangible I don't mean a different finish even if it was wonderful..

I have a Carvin BX700 which has the same problem, but also the blue LED looks terrible again the red fascia. Would change them to yellow ones if I could be arsed.

You deserve a medal for listening that far. Took one for the team there. and how many keyboards can one band need?

The string bits yes but, to my ear, spoilt by the body tapping.

You could never do this date and never agreed to it. The band should have told the pub that they couldn't do that date and suggested another one. For this gig the pub needs to find another band. When you say that "the keys player will play bass", do you mean he will play a bass guitar, or that he will play the bass line on the keyboard? Either way it is unlikely to sound good after just one rehearsal and the reputation of the band will suffer. I'd tell them that you don't want to do it, and that you'd be thinking carefully about the future if they do. If they go ahead anyway then it's time to condier your options. I would be less upset if they'd got a dep in for the evening.

What you can do On a PC at least) is to play the stream or whatever and record it directly to a wav etc by setting up your recording SW to take the 'mix' as it's input. Don't know what it's like quality wise, but better than loosing what you've paid for when it all goes tits up.

More of these?

Personally I think that the Vinyl resurgence is just a flash in the pan. I'd give it 5 years at most. Who wants a medium that inherently degrades every time you play it? As for Cd's it's still my preferred medium, but then I'm an old Fogey. Just a thought - If you copy your CDs to another medium and then sell the originals are you not in breach of copyright?
