Played a birthday party in the middle of nowhere in a sweaty tent, no food or drinks with a client who made an ignorant/racist comment to out guitarist right of the bat. I also got to use my newly finished "Grandma's wallpaper" jazz bass. So 7/10 overall

I guess it’s down to trying it personally. All the systems you mention are probably used by others without issue, so it’s going to be a personal thing.

So I am looking for yet another wireless system, so checking on what options are around. I had the smoothhound, it fell apart after a lot of gigs and I sent it back to get it fixed. In the mean time I had a Lekato 2.4GHz which worked fine, but I lost (found much later, still use in the house). I got a cuvave wireless which broke. Then I got the Lekato WS70, which was good to use but it became apparent after a while there was a compressing effect on using it, you could hear the end of quiet notes being cut off. So I got a WS90. This doesn't have the compressing but has a high noise floor, so when using a drive, it is unacceptably loud. I could go back to the smoothhound but I don't want to make a space on the pedalboard for a receiver. So I am wondering if the Fender Telepath or Xvive A58 was any good?

Christ, scam or not, why on earth would anyone even want that abomination 🤣

Solid plan. I'll report back if it comes to that.

It's Mystic Sea Foam Green apparently. Definitely got a metallic thing going on. Very mysterious anyway. Good shout on darkening the fretboard for more lovelification. No doubt there's more than a few opinions out there as to how to do it!

As mentioned already, the size and shape of that IEM can make or break the experience. The tips make a difference but a few of us have found the actual IEM to be to big and heavy or just not able to sit right. I use the same tips with my IE400’s that i did for my MEE M3’s, but a totally different experience.

Thank you, David Jacobs 😁

When that happens I select "desktop site" on the phone browser. It doesn't always work but usually I can zoom in on the good bits.

Scam, in so far as I'd bet an awful lot of money that what you receive is not what is pictured.

Altho i saw them with Bernie Torme and John McCoy i cant say i was a big fan of them. Dave

Records like this are why I love soul house and funk. Superb playing from Mr Crampton...

Some mighty Gillan tracks, but I was thinking of Born Again.

I learned 'clawhammer' some 50 years ago from my first guitar book. Basically thumbed bass alternates with a pattern strummed with the fingernails. AI sayeth: Clawhammer" can refer to two distinct things: a type of hammer used in woodworking and a distinctive banjo playing style. The claw hammer, with its curved claws, is primarily used for driving and removing nails from wood. Clawhammer, as a banjo technique, is a rhythmic style where the strings are struck with the back of the fingernail and then plucked with the thumb, often associated with old-time music. Clawhammer (the hammer): Purpose: Driving nails into wood and pulling them out. Design: Features a head with a flat face for hammering and curved claws for prying nails. Suitable for: Woodworking and general tasks where nails need to be driven or removed. Not suitable for: Heavy hammering on metal surfaces, as the head can be brittle. Clawhammer (the banjo style): Origin: A traditional American old-time music style with roots in West African banjo playing. Technique: The hand is held in a claw-like shape, and the strings are struck with the back of the fingernail (index or middle finger) while the thumb plucks strings alternately. Sound: Produces a distinctive percussive and rhythmic sound, often described as mellow. Banjos: Typically played on open-back banjos, which emphasize the mellow tone. Other names: Also known as "frailing," "down-picking," or "overhand".
