[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1457427323' post='2998287'] Ive never had a problem with the router. You can set a password on the router and that will stop others loggin onto it. I would recommend the X18 to anyone. It's been fantastic [/quote] Indeed you can. It's only WEP... which to be honest, for the average gig is going to be good enough as a deterrent but as people can probably gather, it's easily crackable with the right tools and a laptop.

[quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1457391450' post='2998167'] Thanks for the info. Could one use something like Airport Express? [/quote] Airport express would be a good choice - you could use it to then airplay tunes from your iPad.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1457433141' post='2998409'] That's the one, but I'm not on face book! It must have leaked out into the ether now. [/quote] Tell the truth, you got an email from Sterling Ball with the attachment inside... subject title : heads will roll.

Does anybody buy a t bird to play up the dusty end? Same with a Hofner. I'd love to see Mark King on a violin bass. Matchsticks comes to mind.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1457429803' post='2998336'] Not wanting to high-jack the thread but can someone please tell me what is so special about "Sex On Fire"? TBH I'm not really a Kings Of Leon fan. Their earlier songs were OK if nothing particularly special, but a photo of them in a music mag sporting ridiculous beards pretty much put me off investigating any further. A couple of weeks ago my girlfriend was playing their "Only By The Night" album in the car, and I got to hear Sex On Fire properly for the first time. I really don't get it. It's not the best track on the album by a long shot and not helped by the fact that the two tracks before it are far stronger songs, in terms of tunes, riff and general anthemic qualities. So what's the big deal? Why is a fairly mediocre song by a mediocre band such a crowd pleaser? [/quote] Would you say that Mustang Sally was the best cover by The Commitments? Just the way it is, I guess.

Yes, that scratch plate is a bit err... Black acrylic would be a better option. Headstock proportion is still not right - matched headstock would be preferable too as you say imho.

Not saying you suck btw!

Guess it sucks to watch your show if you are off centre of the stage.

You run stereo front of house?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1457401286' post='2998214'] Is stereo (or bi-channel..?) [i]so [/i]important for monitoring..? Does anyone [i]really [/i]go for that..? [/quote] Absolutely! An in ears mix in stereo is something to behold.

The Dingwall Thunderbird. Headstock fail.

[/quote] Or two in stereo... http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_x_air_xr16.htm also from same price category... XR18 will get you 6 auxes... but will also give you further capability with the P16 system.

[quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1457370515' post='2997869'] "do you think you could turn it down a bit?" to which the drummer replied very loudly from behind me: "do you think you could f*** off?" yes. it happened.......... more stories like that by the bucket........... [/quote] Ooh, I've got a good few stories like that

Pretty much available at any CCTV supplier. Some connectors are not so tight - if you find that to be the case, some tape will hold the joins together (which I always do for piece of mind anyway) or if you are very gentle with a pair of needle nose pliers (with some kitchen roll around the ends as to not burr the metal of the connector) you can squeeze them ever so slightly (and I mean slightly) so they are slightly oval - that will make the fit tight.

Maybe a Rickenbacker style headstock would set it off nicely too.

I'd never use anything but a hardcase. My Hiscox cases have served me well.

Nah, still safe. White or nothing.

I reckon Sterling Ball would be all for a Dingwall Stingray. No problem whatsoever... <creeps backwards out of the thread>

EBS make cases like that. Wooden covers attached by velcro. If you don't get anywhere with that, you may want to look into those? To be honest, you may be able to adapt the existing ones to work?

Yes, XR18 - do it. Although you probably want to budget for an external router also.

I feel a thread spin off coming on...

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1457358810' post='2997686'] Is there a fretless version? [/quote] Why, do you need some more mwah on your weak upper strings? Or is it you need more burp on your unique "piano like" B?

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1457358489' post='2997682'] Sadowskys don't make any sense until you're in a band situation. [/quote] I'm glad somebody else is with me. Their core sound just doesn't do anything for me whatsoever. If I picked one up in a shop, I wouldn't walk out with one. Having tried one on a gig... well, that's a different matter. But I don't think I could buy I bass that does nothing for me tonally outside of a band situation.

As an aside, those R303 are ambitiously priced for a set of triple drivers...

They can... Whether they should...
