For 5 grand I'd want a chauffeur-driven limo to a 5 star restaurant for lunch, where the bass would be presented to me by Keira Knightley.

Yes, that was my thinking. Just wanted to be sure before I start soldering my fingers to things.

I'd like to Ask The Audience something. I'm in the process of putting together a loop pedal with a blend control... having experimented in the past it appears that certain pedals have a phase inverting tendency, so I want to be able to work round this if possible with a switchable phase inverter. However, I'm a little uncertain as to where the inverter should go. I'm thinking it would be example A below, but I want to make sure.

No complaints here. That would tick almost every single one of my personal boxes. Although if I was being fussy, I'd prefer a MM pickup in the bridge, and candy apple red rather than dark grey.

And stage lighting. The guitarist from the Soul Destroyers has developed a sideline in lighting, and the array of technologies and equipment available is quite mindboggling. He's spent thousands and is only scratching the surface, although he's doing nicely, got two or three regular prestigious gigs for himself.

Just shows what a mic luddite I am... I'd always thought it was 'stand behind an SM58 and away you go' it's obviously a much deeper science than I ever gave it credit for. Although I suppose it's no different to playing a P instead of a J, for example.

I must stop looking at this thread. The torture has just become unbearable.

Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft - Carpenters

A bittersweet Soul Destroyers one last night. A party gig for lots of enthusiastic people, we played well (although I had some dyslexic foot trouble with my MS60B 🙄 ) but it was our tenor saxist's last gig after 24 years(!) with the band on and off. Gonna miss big Ben. That tenor looks small on him because he's 6'6"

But they are guitars... bass guitars. Even Leo said so
