I get irrationally nervous when @SteveXFR is behind me, and start driving erratically. At least, I think that it's him - I can't properly see, on account of the whacking great fish sticker across my rear window. 😉

Still do! 🤪😬

Buy your wife whatever 3D printer she wants. Then you'll both be happy.

All the songs with kids singing in 'em sound like that, including the Floyd one. Unless they sound like "Grandpa, we love you" with professional old codger Clive Dunn.

Fantastic story, congrats on getting the bass back john 😎

@Leonard Smalls is in two minds about St Winifred's School Choir's cover of Another Brick in the Wall.

Recording. I don’t like the process or the environment. To me, modern digital recording smacks too much of pi$$ing around on computers. I’d rather busk outdoors on a rainy Wednesday than spend time in someone’s home ‘studio’ (spare bedroom).

Are you sayin you don’t like, There's No One Quite Like Grandma by St Winifred's School Choir Leonard 😁

I find the Suite a bit clunky and not that intuitive but have got used to it. I've not tried to create any patches in the Suite....is this a function as Ive not really looked? 🤷‍♂️ All my patches have been created directly on the Anagram as its so easy. I hope you persevere and get used to it as it is a great unit.

While were on it, anyone else's kids at school concerts. They're all rubbish and wasting everyone's time.

Your pics make my 12 string look 'normal' sized! LOL

So it's here. First impressions - smaller than I thought it'd be. Solid construction. Nice packaging and cool carry case. Not many default presets to play with. Not sure I like the Darkglass Suite software - maybe I haven't got to grips with it yet, but I haven't found a way to just visually build patches by dragging and dropping blocks. Honestly, a little underwhelmed so far. But I'll persevere.

It’s amazing isn’t it, the weight of the gear that we used to have to cart about.

Doh!! Suddenly realised that I hadn't posted my stuff. Probably won't bring everything I've listed on the day. I'll post what I'm minded to leave at home just before the Bash and change my mind if anyone says they specifically want to see/try it.

Okay! That's good to know! Let me sleep on it, and you have a think as well and maybe we can discuss it. Cheers!

For a bit of balance, not everyone likes the Hartwood Satellite. I have to admit the sound is probably a bit marmite but then he seems to have only tried it with the horrible OEM strings:
