They look close enough actually. I'll give them a go. Many thanks!

I'm not familiar with them, but are they similar to the ThumbFin thumb rests? These use tiny suction cups...you can out then anywhere you like.

I have the GR2 on my board I’ve played through but I always come back to this. I also have a Haz Labs filter but I’ll probably be moving it on. It’s great but takes up a lot of space on the board.

Did you forget to take your meds again Neil. ? 😂 Dave

Nice bass @Sté. What is it ? Dave

Suffer The Children - Tears For Fears

I'm actually nervous about today's gig! Had a freaky lucid dream last night... woke up and remembered it in detail: Parked up in a shabby demolished building type car park off an unusual street I hadn't seen before. Walked to nearby venue. Wandered into my brother's gig (today) as they were settng up. Big empty bar, try were out on the floor instead of in a 'stage area'. Chris (bassist) was playing noodly guitar so I joined in on bass. Worked out they were playing Grapevine, but in C#. Oddly I remember in detail that I was fingering Eb... but I was convinced the key was C#. Then looked at my watch. The face was scrolling images and web pages about tanks - my internet history? Suddenly I remembered I should be at my own gig for 3pm (actually 4) for 6pm start and it was 5pm. Rushed to front bar. Found the bag I keep my swimming stuff in(?) Took a while to find my jacket, hidden under another coat on a hatstand (like my metal one, but wooden) positioned on or through the bench seat in the bay window. Got phone from my jacket pocket. Discovered the stuff on my watch was actually loads of phone notifications. Discovered continuous flow of messages from the band taking the piss out of me being late after telling them to be early. Headed out, rang band said 5pm I will be tere in twenty minutes and set up in ten... In street passed a traffic warden in hi-vis taking notes. In car park (I hadn't bought a ticket) noticed all signs were so old and faded there was no way thry were valid and nowhere to buy a ticket. Panicked and ran back to car, found only very old house keys in my hand (a memory of finding some in a drawer a few days ago?) Got in car but couldn't start it... handcrwaching in passenger window offering me keys. Turned out to be evil woman trying to steal car or the old keys or even kill me. Couldn't understand what she was on about. Fought her off by biting her finger then repeatedly pressing the up button for the electric window to trap her arm. Started reversing backwards, dragging her along as I tried to escape. Traumatised, I woke up and focused on committing everything to memory. I hope the actual gig is not quite as eventful.

It would certainly be worth shielding it, both the control cavity and the pickup cavity.

Look rock n roll to me!

Like it.

Hi folks, Just picked up a new (to me) Sterling Stingray with Seymour Duncan pickup and looks to be a retrovibe 77 Preamp fitted. Plugged it in to play there and noticed it seems to pull through some radio type noise. I'm not a technical guy and most things I read online say it's likely needing shielded. Does anybody have much experience with this and does that seem the likely fix for it? I knew this could happen with single coils but didn't think it was much of a thing with humbuckers. Plugging in through a Quad Cortex, tried my ACG and 4 different guitars and all of them are silent so I would rule out the houses electrics. Attached a video to give an idea of what I mean.

I also leave the line out at about 12 o'clock - whoever is doing the PA will set the levels accordingly. Perhaps the more important setting to you is on the back of the amplifier - the Pre/Post control for the EQ will flavour what you send out to the PA - depends on if you want to send out a flat or eq'd signal.

Black on black looks real good.

Well, I've conducted two full rehearsals now and they're not throwing pencils or worse at me yet... I've decided otherwise sign-up to a full-blown conducting summer school at Swansea University in late July.

When using the DI out on my LM4 can anyone advice me what to do with the 'Line Out' control on the front panel? I've not had this head for long and don't recall previous amps having this control so I don't know how high or low to set it. At last night's gig I left it set at 12 o'clock and there were no complaints...
