🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ So my SR1206 is just a SR306. But i still want an ATK800 or 810 lol

Someone recently gave me their band 'card' which was also a sticker with a name/logo and a QR code. It looks good enough that it is stuck on my amp case giving some advertising and a more permanent reminder than a card sat in a draw.

Thanks for the insights @Killerfridge @Risk101 !

Great video! Not a surprise about the results but what an excellent way to demonstrate it all.

I had a pupil some years ago who had a natural ATK. It was indeed very Stingray-alike in sound. I think we got it for about £399 as well. An utter bargain. There is however, another Stingray Killer that people forget about - the now also discontinued Fender Dimension, in particular the HH model, which was a monster of a bass. I still miss mine, which I had to sacrifice when I bought my KingBass Mk-II.

For quite a while it was in person but then flipped to Zoom during Covid and then continued that way. Ian is a super busy guy as you can imagine so I think online is probably the only way - you should reach out to him and see. As @Killerfridge said, he's well set up for online and has a great technique for that 👍🏻👍🏻

I know what you mean. Changing to the 40-95 + 125 gauge Elixir set seems to have somewhat cured that. The G does seem VERY close to the edge, which is beautifully rolled, of course. I found the same on a 2nd Generation Sire V7. They sometimes roll the edges a little too much and the G can slip off the board if you're not careful.

What a great collection! Where do you guys meet? Looks like a great space.

Hi Al, I know that you've heard this already via a pm, but the PixelBar Switch has a swap-able front which diffuses the light and works well on the floor uplighting the band. You can set the colour and intensity via DMX or with the controls on the unit and they will work in master-slave mode so you can link them with a DMX cable and have them all the same without having to program each separately. I found the other LED bars to focussed to use in this mode as they dazzle you every time you look down. I currently use them in a vertical position on stands. This lights up your whole body more evenly and is more flattering than an uplighter. I'm no great beauty so need all the help I can get I've recently spotted these and fortunately one of our local music pubs has bought a set of 4 so I've seen them in action. At just under £30 they look good value and for just under £50 they also do a rechargeable version (12 hours light) which will cut the leads needed and set up time. Brightness isn't exceptional but plenty for my use and a set of four would light up the whole stage without distracting from you lightshow

Thank you @LowB_FTW

We’ve let this run for 10 pages with the majority of posts being respectful but it’s clear from reading through and looking at our reported posts that this has now run its course.

Japanese-built 5 string Sadowskys wherefore art thou?

As far as I can recall, I've never, in 57 years of gigging, come across this problem/situation in a band scenario. Could that be that we, unbeknown to ourselves, all shared the same views and mindset? Could it be that the gig was the most important issue so conversations of that type never happened? Could it be that I was never on the lookout for new "besties" but simply people to play good music with? Who knows, however, I have come across plenty of people who have a dislike of the elderly and who have, either directly kept me out of a band or guided my decision to not join a band.

hi Phil I tried to contact the original designer about this (over a year ago?) and received zilch taking a spare bridge apart, it appears that the 2 condenser inserts just push in each end of the black plastic tube and the 2 grub screws each hold 1 internal so-called 'baffle' in place these internal 'baffles' appears to be a hollow, harder plastic tube (just visible in attached end-on view photo); the main function(s) of which presumably being: - to stop the outer, slightly flexible, tube from collapsing from pressure/tension of strings; - to allow free passage of acoustic waves from the 2 inner strings through to the mic inserts (...if this IS an intended feature, i'm not sure it has any more effect than the direct transmission of the same sounds along the wall of the outer tube) originally I thought the grub screws provided some sort of acoustic adjustment, but having seen inside it appears they only secure the internal 'baffles' hope this helps

@Lozz196 Great gig. Not surprised you went down well as Therapy? don't nail themselves too firmly to a scene, so I expect their fans are pretty open to other stuff. The two albums I worked on in the early 2000s had a fair dose of Punk mixed in to the metal. And the drummer then, Neil Cooper, his first love was Jazz!
