  1. Ear plugs... Howard Leight Max Green... For smaller ear canal... T Shape andxSoft, loads better than the cheap yellow cylinders or the hard foam cones. Worn 'em for years... motorbike, gigs, sleeping. It's all about the fitting... roll em squish, and put em in and hold allowing them to expand to seal, rather than expanding and pushing out. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Howard-Leight-33-011-20-Max-Lite-Ear-Plugs-Green-Uncorded-200-Pairs-/175198359357?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
  2. From 'The-Off'....Air (La Femme... Moon Safari) meets 70' Film Incidental Muisc (Think 'Bullitt')... Both of which i love. But, where is the rest of it? Over too soon... Link to more please. @metermanSweet tone...
  3. Compressors... Interesting reading... often alluded to like a automatic recoeding level, reducing dynamic range... to achieve a degree of consistancy I (sort of) understand Threshold, Attack and Release etc. But how does this fit in or work in a single 'Compression' control on say my Marshall Bass Combo... Described in the range brocure... A Variable Compressor smoothes your sound into a solid wall of low frequencies while the additional Limiter prevents power amp clipping. And in the handbook... The Compressor smoothes out your bass sound. As you increase the amount of compression, so you flatten out the peaks in the incoming signal. When the compression reaches its threshold the LED will change to red. Single control is likely to just be 'Threshold' (to a fixex ratio) Or might it also effect the Ratio as it is turned up? Thanks for those that may have the time (and patience) to respond... I wont to get a fuller understanding of a Single Control - and how to determine the effect of compression - before i have a look at the various compressor options of the Zoom B1on.
  4. You work out the thickness at the back of the pocket... (or the shim angle) by the amount you wish to raise at the bridge... Think of it as a right angle triangle from the front of the pocket to the saddles... the hypotenuse being the strings... Then think of a small triangle (shim) that sits just in the neck pocket... to give the same angle.
  5. In the grip of a tyre fitters hand - Budgie (Just to move things along...)
  6. Nah... black handles, otherwise it takes the 'effect' away from the grill...
  7. Is there a screw in the end of the butterfly / fishtail?
  8. ^ When i was looking... think it was for an Ibanez... i had to make do with a spline shaft... and make sure the grub screw of the knob alignes with the slot of the pot shaft.
  9. Tried again today... Still Hard Work... perhaps just not for me. (Stripping it back to basics with some Black Keys to give my ears a rest...)
  10. Great PMT are dealing with it... I'd be Cc'ing in Ibanez (Headstock Distributions) in... just so they are aware...
  11. What's new octopussy cat?... - Tom Jones...
  12. Tone Bone... Cow... Sheeps... Chicken... Pig... Maybe go Brass!
  13. Is the pre going external box for proto compare and contrast and easier build n mock-up and mod?
  14. ^ Album cover artwork right there...
  15. Buzz still there on Half Step Down rather than a whole step? Higher tension strings may help, but not ideal way to go... If a truss rod tweak dont fix it, if you think its the 3rd fret, have you checked? google 'fret rocker'... If it 'rocks' and mainly just that fret, i'd be inclined to givr it a light sanding... youtube will show you how...
  16. Blue Monday - New Order.... (Lets see if we can get the week done in order...)
