In my experience yoga mat doesn't tend to work as well as foam slabs, it's not thick or firm enough to properly support the weight of heavy cabs through their feet so the decoupling is compromised. I've found foam blocks are much more reliably effective. The cab needs to be properly 'floating'. Spikes can make a bit of a difference with hifi speakers, I suspect because they're placed in the corners of the cab where the panel vibrations tend to be reduced compared to the centre. That doesn't really apply in PA where cabs tend to have feet already.

I bought this recently from our very own jay-syncro and wasn't planning on selling it anytime soon but I've had the chance to buy back something that i regretted selling so here we are. I hope jay doesn't mind me using some of the wording from his original advert. The bass is in excellent condition as jay gave it a recent clean and setup including a new set of D'Adarrio strings. I've only used It on 2 gigs. It plays beautifully and sounds great. These basses offer incredible value for money! I paid the bargain of price £295 from jay, which one of our members commented was an SR700 for SR500 money. This is actually true as I've just sold an SR500 for £300. I'd like to think that we are an honest bunch on here so I'm not trying to make any money on this, although it is up for sale elsewhere for a higher price! I've listed it for £375 as I've added a brand new Ibanez moulded case which I've never had out of the house as I'm too afraid to scratch the case! 🤣 Happy to package this up for postage but you would have to arrange your own courier, otherwise collection from Whitley Bay or possible meet up in the Darlington area as I get down there a bit. Here's the manufacturer specs: "The SR700 features a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a jatoba and bubinga SR4 neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone ovals position markers. Components include a pair of Bartolini MK-1 pickups, an Accu-cast B20 fixed bridge with 19mm string spacing, die-cast machine heads. Controls consist of a single volume, balancer, and Bartolini MK1 3-band EQ with treble, bass, and mid boost/cut" -
Mass production is defined by mechanisation/automation producing large quantities.

I love Rega turntables and have had a P6 for a few years but mine has the well known issue of humming as the arm nears the centre of the record and I also resent the fact that the stylus and cart are one unit so a worn needle requires replacement (or refurbishment) of the cartridge too. Am thinking of getting an Audio Technica cart fitted via the RigB mount (check Facebook for this) to solve both issues. A secondhand P2 or P3 with this set up planned for the future could be a within budget option. It wouldn't help with Rega's poor grounding system or speed issues though 🤔 My brother and I both picked up old Pioneer PL12d decks too - still pretty cheap, look ace and are easy to refurbish at home, even for a chimp-fingered imbecile like myself. Sounds very different to the Rega - but in an attractive vintage way compared to the P6's very toppy clean sound. Get one of each, obviously.

The sh** show that is Royal mail / ParcelForce
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE replied to leschirons's topic in General Discussion
When purchasing from Amazon, sometimes the Amazon seller uses Royal Mail or EVRI ! I got caught out a couple of times ,and notice the “Amazon” service deteriorating because of this . ( Not Royal Mail, but EVRI in my case) . The tell tale signs of delays and unavailable tracking ,and even stuff delivered a day later is way out of line ! I always have to double/ triple check what courier is being used .I shouldn’t have to ! I saw a big company selling speaker stands for my Sonos speakers on eBay . Good price etc. . Then I looked at the feedback and declined their offers ,because they use EVRI They lost a sale but are probably oblivious as to why . The bigger a commission gets ,the worse the customer service is imho -
Hi all, I’m sure there might already be a thread similar to this elsewhere on BC, but would appreciate some input from those with experience…. I have a 2010 US Stingray which has an issue with the output along the G string. It seems to be fairly normal when played open (ie unfretted) but pretty much any fretted note is noticeably quieter, almost to the point of inaudible compared to the other strings. I replaced the pickup with a Nordstrand which unfortunately hasn’t made much difference to the G string. The frets are fine, the neck is fine, I’ve tried different gauge strings, stainless and nickel, also flats. Could this be a preamp issue? It’s the only thing I haven’t looked at. If anyone can help out with advice before I spend money on a new pre, it would be much appreciated. Cheers G

IMO just about any guitar or bass that isn't made individually to order by a luthier counts as mass produced.

I was more thinking about 0.0050 bucks... -
If Fender know what they are doing, and I'm sure they do, they have the flexibility to build to demand. They know the value of some models is influenced by perceived rarity. Also Fender Japan are going to be less profitable than Fender USA for the parent company; it makes sense to manage/avoid competition between their premium products. Presumably it isn't a cartel as they are part of the same group.

What about this one ? 😮💨

Rega turntables are great , and look real cool imho . For the money you can’t go wrong . The planar 2 I had at the time was a big upgrade from the previous Dual CDs-505 I had. What I have noticed over the last decade or so, is the expansion of quality and choice of colours etc in the £250-£500 price point . A decent cartridge works wonders also as mentioned above .

Some of the JHS Vintage range are very good and excellent value, but watch out for the weight. Some of the P's & J's can be mightily heavy.

My dad was against us going to university, not to the point of forbidding us to go, but just that we should be out working, so we both went out to work at 16.I went to the Open University later on - Today
