Generally speaking, most rock singers are always spending their capital, not just the interest. Bruce Dickinson was mostly not like that, which is why he can still sing these songs. But he's past 60, and voices never stay the same decade after decade. Even Pavarotti was no longer singing the music that made his name once he was that age, despite having the most blessed vocal apparatus and an immaculate technique. Lemmy had the right idea: start out knackered, and stay knackered.

I really am very pleased with the Ampero (A) ....but there is one really annoying thing about it - what the foot buttons do. The 4th one is wonderful: it can be assigned to be turning on and off one or more of the elements of the patch. So on one patch it turns the compressor on/off, on another the distortion, etc. Having two buttons doing programmable like that would be fantastic. However. On the smaller Ampero One there are only two other pedals, and with it you can go up and down through the patches. On the bigger Ampero, though, pedals Nos. 1-3 go between the three patches of one "bank". To move up from one bank of patches to the next, you have to press foot buttons 2+3 at exactly the same time. This is rubbish. What a waste of space. (B) The three little knobs under the screen on the bigger Ampero are very useful when tweaking the settings on patches – it's much easier to be precise with them than by changing levels on the touchscreen.* To someone who would prefer to program the patches on their computer, these will be unnecessary. (C) I'm so glad to have the bigger Ampero's on/off switch. Don't know why it makes such a difference to me, but it does *I presume on the smaller Ampero One which doesn't have the three little knobs, precise adjustment can be made by touching on the parameter, and then carefully turning the larger knob to the right of the screen.

They weren't happy on my BB, but a perfect fit on the new P

Everyone has the right to like what they like, to prefer what they prefer, I'm not arguing with your right to want things how you want them, but you wrote "maaaaaaaaajor flaw", "WRONG", "a flaw in design" and "You people are weird". Either you felt your personal preferences to be the only choices with any validity, or you were too impatient to work out why it was wired differently to your expectations. Some people's personal preference is for commentary that prioritises curiosity and understanding over opinion and judgement — but perhaps that, too, makes them "weird"? 😘

From a process pov, my task, as a user of the forum, is to respond to a call for visual or functional details that could be polished. My trying to second guess which ones could be reasonably felt to be worth the necessary effort would just make the process less efficient / effective.

I think this used to happen before, but while we've being asked – the sign saying, there's another tag we're not showing you is bigger than the tag itself

Turn a tone knob anticlockwise and the treble is cut. Turn a Sadowsky blend knob anticlockwise, reducing the bridge pickup, and the treble is cut. It makes perfect sense. If you can't cope with it, you can't cope with it, but it still makes sense.

Since this thread is taking a moment to peer into its navel....

Oops, didn't mean to post 🤦‍♂️ Sorry

I know it's much nicer to be able to choose for oneself, but it does make several years worth of posts look unreadable....

You didn't happen to buy a dark redburst TRBX while you were in there, did you? No? Damn.

Took me a while to find where the Mark Forum As Read button was hiding

Uh-oh

Dammit, I had a whole list of things to do today

To be honest, I was shopping for a bass to put a Dimarzio Model P into .... essentially I've tried to create an impersonation of an early 80s Ibanez Blazer 🙃

Isn't this a thread about songs? 🤷

Having spent the day playing the new P, I'm delighted with it, and I'm also delighted to find that there's just no overlap in character between it and my BB — they've both got clear personalities and voices of their own. Now, please can I stop throwing my money around? 😖

Matt sold me his Squier Matt Freeman Precision and the whole experience was a breeze and a pleasure. His legendary packaging immediately got reused, helping me move on another instrument with the confidence that I wasn't just sending it off to be turned into firewood
