I did think that myself, quite an artistic walk in to the stage area. Well done your Mrs. Now is she available to hire for other gigs 😂 Dave

I'll look forward to seeing that process...

99 Luftballons - Nena

Yep. Sounds absolutely atrocious via an amp, but has a really nice bark and growl when running through a DI. 😑 Either way, the lollipop tuners have been ordered, so the conversion can slowly start.

We played a festival gig and I came equipped with my brand new mic to broadcast my carefully crafted tone to the masses. Drama unfolded. "Here's your DI" "I got two basses and a 2 channel preamp and this neato flat mic all set to go" "Just give us the DI" "How about listening to the mic?" "Just give us the DI" BL jumps in with some complaints that I am the most difficult bass player he ever worked with. DI gets my mic lead and away we go. The drummer's 2x15 plus horn monitor completely obliterates what is coming from my poxy 210. It sounds pukka except it is drowning out the band. Sound person accuses me of sandbagging and wants me to turn down. The drum monitor gets turned down some but still louder than my cab. More complaints that I am blowing up the mix, with my 210 pointed up at me, on a festival stage. We haven’t been invited back.

That's what i've used altho it came in a roll approx 25-30mm wide. Dave

She’s a very smooth walker to judge by that first minute or so. fine choice of tune, sir

Not really much to take a pic of and didn't think it was worthwhile bothering you. I'll take some when i do the bridge pick up tho as i hate to disappoint you guys. Dave

Here's some food for thought. Some are nicer than others -- I particularly like no.7, although it's not a folding one. 35 DIY Guitar Stand Plans You Can Build - Handy Keen

Yep have to say it sounds ok out front there. How weird that must have been playing with a Vulcan bomber in front of you. That's one you won't forget. Dave

If you open the case, you can check date codes from the opamps and other semiconductors.

As long as time given for the Tru-oil to dry off fully, then yes. It's essentially poly on poly at that point.

There's something magnificent about old tools, a mate of mine found one at a boot sale, and a few years later has a collection to rival some bass collections! Thanks for the advice, some jobs require the combination of high attention and effort and low speed 👍
