And to think people say we're a bunch of misanthropic old sods... Warwicks People who noodle really loudly at rehearsal WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT THE SONG WE'RE ABOUT TO PLAY People who tune up by ear on stage

Singing drummers. Men who don't wear a belt. The word "plane" when substituted for "aircraft" or "aeroplane". Jazz.

Probably no worse in terms of build than an old Washburn Status. The electronics are going to suck though - they always do. These Chinese instruments tend to be quite nicely built in terms of woodworking, but they always have bloody awful pickups and electronics. But at least the pickups tend to be standard size so they're easy to replace.

Oh its beautiful, love it! Now to rebuild my current live patches around it, I have 2 weeks til my next show, wish me luck! 😅

@Kiwi What's the headstock shape, standard MM style? Also curious as to whether the neck length, size of the heel, etc would be compatible with a Sire Z3...

@itu AliExpress. I've used seven of them so far and they are all of good consistent quality, zero noise. This is my order, to give you an idea of what to search for and anticipated pricing. These were shipped to me in the UK in about a week.

Bass players. Someone had to say it.

Guitarists.

Drummers.

Tweeters on electric bass. I like the funny non linear cone breakup stuff in the higher frequencies of a paper cone that people take a great deal of effort to engineer out. And they sound horrendous with fuzz unless you're running some serious filtering, and if there's a proper crossover then the cab usually sounds plain dull with the tweeter level turned down, compared to just hearing the main driver run full-range.

Where did you find those angled connectors, @kiat? Good size!

Any bass with more than 4 strings isn't a bass and should be banned from being advertised as such. Wonky frets...pointless and trendy, much like pointy headstocks (i had 2 of those) Class D amps..(I have 2 of those) People who expect you to play for free on an outdoors "stage" that is basically a shelf. Darkglass...just because... I'll stop now as I can feel my blood boiling...

The question to Jean-Luc was about making a stereo cable, his jacks aren't silent.

+1 for this, had it for a long time before downsizing to hx stomp, incredibly responsive and purple which is always key

Guitar players whose playing would not be affected at all, if the little finger of their fretting hand was amputated.

I've been using inexpensive wireless bass and IEMs systems together in pub gigs for a few months with no problems. I've would hope the more expensive systems in the OP and comments would be even better. Just added a pro, rebadged Mi-Pro wireless bass system (the t.bone) recently and been testing 3 wireless systems on my new (and first) pedalboard, all coexisting without noticeable noise. * 2.4GHz variable - bass guitar * 2.4GHz fixed (afaict) - stereo IEMs * 5.8GHz variable - pedaboard to amp

Just bought a lovely Berg cab from Laurie. It was a pleasure to meet him and the cab is in superb condition as he described. Deal in confidence!
