My favourite cat food is Felix. I'm assuming this is the cat food thread, but I haven't read the title or any of the posts including what the OP wrote.

Bill, many thanks. Much appreciated.

Judging by the pictures, you are very close to the edge of the fingerboard on the G side already, moving the bridge might be risky.

I was also going to recommend Armstrongs. Kent Armstrong was Dan (Danelectro) Armstrong's son so his dad knew a bit about Lipstick pickups.

I love a Sunday afternoon gig, especially when it's outside and doubly so when it's "acoustic". Lots of the usual songs, but played in an unusual way. Perhaps Sir Duke was a little ambitious - I ran out of both strings and fretboard! It was a request/challenge though and much fun was had. There were plenty of requests, and even a bit of dancing. It's great to have a good laugh when playing and there was a decent crowd too enjoying themselves. I even got to drink a pint or two for a change as Mrs Norris drove home.

Just seen this from Francis Dunnery on Facebook that made me think of this thread "At 62 years old, so far as guitar playing is concerned, 'fast' has lost its relevance. I watch a hundred guitar players a day on social media playing utterly incredible licks and runs, stunning dexterity, outrageous acrobatics, tapping, arpeggios, faster and faster until it sounds like a pacman arcade game. But to be honest, at this stage of the game I'd rather listen to the acoustic guitar part in 'band on the run' or 'horse with no name'. That's what age does to you. Most of the people who look for attention performing on a stage are unconsciously trying to get their parents approval via an audience. 'look at me, look how special I am'. When you get older you don't need that. You have your own approval. You've accepted yourself for what and who you are. All of the showboat guitar playing is actually fantastic. It really is. But I still prefer the riff from 'smoke on the water' and that great moment when the bass comes in. It never really got any better than that for me."

The values of the resistors don't matter, you don't want to use them. As mentioned a crossover splits the frequencies to highs and lows. That capacitor isn't a crossover, it's a high pass filter, a very poor one at that. TBH I wouldn't bother with the tweeter, unless for some reason you feel the need for it. A fifteen doesn't reach high enough to be used with a tweeter of that sort. If you want improved upper midrange/lower high frequency response and dispersion a sealed back 6.5 inch will work far better...with a real crossover, of course. You can find full specs on the woofer here. The page is in French, but that doesn't affect the T/S parameter abbreviations. https://petoindominique.fr/php/mysql_thiele_seul.php?hp=5054

How much do you need ? I've a tin in the hut. I'll have a look about for something to decant it into 👍

It's the previous page, Anti... Do you think people bother to read anything than the title and sometimes what the OP has written first before answering?

Hey, just seen the reply. The Cali 76 comps are not as warm as other comps. If warmth is what you are after, rather than light drive etc then an optical comp is what I’d go for instead. They, by their nature (design) have a slower response and I find fatten up your bass tone in a very musical way. A favourite of mine is the Lusithand Alma comp (now on their Mk3 variant, all versions are great). You could go down the route of an optical comp and a light drive pedal to give a bit of hair if needed? As far as I can tell, the Origin Effects 76 bass comps are clearer sounding and know for being able to be very quick acting. If you wanted a bit of drive (when pushed) from one of those, the V1 run at 9V would be the one to go for. As another option, the Origin Effects DCX Bass is a lovely pedal for EQ and drive of varying amounts, but a higher cost compared to eg full sized Spark Booster.

Nice wee afternoon gig for us with the Glam band at Polmont Bowling Club. Sold Out too. To be fair it only holds 65 seated. 😂 Organiser was telling us they had a band in last night Sat and it was free entry but only 18 people turned up yet a Sun afternoon ticketed show and it sold out fast with many folks still asking for tickets after selling out. We have played it 3x before to be fair and it was full. Audience up for it from first song so that was great to see. Even the songs with no dancers we got a lot of applause and cheers at the end like Ziggy Stardust. Was very hot and sweaty even with my large fan. Left the house at 10:45am arriving 12 noon. Start time 3pm - 4pm then 4:30 to 5:45pm. Greggs sandwiches supplied too. All went well and home by 8pm via chippie. Used the Sandberg VM4 into Shure wireless and Keeley Comp then Handbox WB-100 and Barefaced 212 cab. Sounded very nice. Dave

ok !!!

I've had worse weekends

Its a 4 string bridge too, with only 2 saddles, same for the pups. All you'd need to convert it to a 4 string is 2 saddles, 2 strings and 2 machine heads! Looks like an MDP creation to my eyes!

congrats on getting your new Anagram! Like you, I find the amp blocks available enough for me. It’s really good!
