She was born the year it was released. And she is American. I don't doubt she's not listened to it before.

The PSU (built into a harley benton spaceship power board) has outputs for 9v, 12v, and 18v.

I have two dots on the face on the fingerboard at the octave and a fourth above (where the 12th and 17th frets aren't). Some people are quite scathing about the idea and it tends to get shot down in online discussions, but then a surprising number of better players than me have a dots up in thumb position so I'm not going to feel bad about it. It does help me to feel a little more confident in venturing up there, and I'm using the small side dots from a set of guitar dot stickers, so it's neat looking but easily undone.

Just made a video with my latest pedalboard iteration. Reduced to a minimum...for now. I'll see how it develops from here

You can get 9v DC powered led strips for cheap on Amazon, really nice way to add some atmosphere to your stage if placed under your pedalboard or inside your cab

1. Yes. 1a. Why not use a USB PSU? 5V is much closer to 4.5V than 9V is. 2. If you're going to be cutting the wires, mark one of them with a sharpie both sides of the cut BEFORE cutting, then after cutting determine the polarity using your multimeter. However, as the LEDs are diodes, they should be fine with reversed polarity.

That was yesterday, right?

GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The way the grain has played out on that tummy cut is very pleasing.

That's a fantastic colour, enjoy the bass

I was about to comment on the massive pay-off to Hofner arising from the random purchase of a violin bass by the then unknown Macca. On reflection though it probably wasn't that random. IIRC, Stuart Sutcliffe played a Hofner Senator bass, which Macca may well have enjoyed noodling on during idle moments between shifts in Hamburg while Sutcliffe was otherwise engaged with girlfriend Astrid. Although the Senator had a much bigger body, it probably had the same neck so the violin bass would have presented Macca with that nice playable neck on a much less unwieldy body.

I bought a battery powered strip of LEDs from Primark this afternoon. This was only two quid so it's not the end of the world if I destroy it during my tinkering, but I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience in tinkering with similar strips. Basically what I want to do is fix them to the bottom of a pedalboard, ideally powering them from the pedalboard power supply. The lights work with 3 × AA batteries, so nominally 4.5V. Two questions I'd like answered if anyone has experience are: 1. Is a 9v PSU likely to work, or kill the unit? 2. If I can't work out the polarity of the two wires and identify this using a trial & error methodology would getting it wrong first time be likely to kill the unit?

Looks like it's 14mm across flats - were you making a spanner for the tuners?

Absolutely. I'll pull it from the same place she pulled her claim.

A mime to Jeff Lynne's bassline! (who did the Wilburys bass work on both albums)

Do you have any proof of that? Please share.
