UPS - Unbelievably Poor Service. Avoid this courier...
Beedster replied to Dood's topic in General Discussion
Quote of the day But it is amazing, the either simultaneously bring the full force of their left hand to bare on the doorbell whilst at the same time banging the door heavily with the right and shouting at a level that would wake a hibernating bear, or somehow manage to get the card through the door as per the above post.....? -
UPS - Unbelievably Poor Service. Avoid this courier...
Beedster replied to Dood's topic in General Discussion
There are good and bad people, and good and bad practices, in all courier companies. My UPS guy is outstanding, he carries rolls of 'FRAGILE' tape with him and asks whether we want stuff labelled before he takes it to the depot. He's on occasion added extra tape to boxes for me when he thinks they look undertaped, and he even hand wrote a message from himself ("This is the collection driver, please do not place any items on the top of this customer's box") when I sent an acoustic a while back. He's under a hell of a lot of pressure and often works 12 hour days, but despite this he's polite and friendly, and never rushes. -
Thanks Bigwan

Anyone used one of these?

These came out of a fretless Jazz and I've replaced them with an old pair of Di Marzios. They're well used and the cover of the bridge PUP is either worn or has been replaced (SD logo has gone). However they work 100% fine and sounded very nice in the Jazz to be honest, kinda makes me wonder why I changed them, but such is life £40 for the pair posted seems fair, they retail at around £80 per PUP from Thomann https://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_stk_j2n.htm and https://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_sstkj2b.htm

Ah, the great live album that was mostly recorded in the studio. Having seen quite a few of the 70's great live at the time, it was pretty clear that had those performances made it to tape, the live albums in question would have been disasters. The story of the edits to Rock of Ages by The Band is quite amusing also

Took these out of the studio yesterday and let them in the garden where my two daughters got hold of them. Wow, they are f*****g loud and powerful things; I guess given the history of similar drums, that shouldn't be surprising, but I was still really surprised by just how much viscera-modifying bass comes out of these things even twenty or thirty feet away. Odd that the classic recorded conga - thinking lots of 70's funk tracks, and recalling seeing Curtis Mayfield on TV in the 70's - is nothing like this, much more the percussive slap of the hand on the skin as opposed to what comes out of the other end. Probably explains why they're so bloody difficult to record in a small room also -
