Hi Luke, I hope it's alright me exhuming an old thread. I would like to try my hand using the sheet in your link. I see that it's 10,8x13,9cm - what's the method for positioning the sheet on the printer to ensure you print on the right spot, please? Is the whole sheet A4 and the transfer bit only 10,8x13,9cm?

Ooh - that's just across the river from here......😎🤘

I'd never heard of this and had to look it up. Now, I'm fully aware I can be a bit of a cynic, but isn't this just a way of selling 'putting on headphones and closing your eyes' as a new, trendy thing to do? Whilst I can appreciate the idea that it's the aural version of going to the cinema, I just can't see paying money to sit in a dark room (probably not pitch black due to H&S/fire regs etc) and listen to music with loads of other people coughing, whispering and shuffling off for a pee to be particularly enjoyable. Listening to music in the dark is a hugely immersive experience, and to be encouraged, but I'd rather just do it on my own terms in my own house, as I, and probably many others have, for years.

Blimey. Now I want to see if it has been stamped at all.

It's been a fairly popular unit (after mods) with Nashville session guitarists because you can basically grab a know to tweak on the fly if a producer requests it. No scrolling through menus.

They didn't - as I think I mentioned, slab boards were phased out in '61/62, and didn't show up again until 1984. That neck is in no way authentic. I'd guess Warmoth/Allparts with Fender Pure Vintage tuners. Actually, thinking about it, one of my statements is inaccurate- slab boards would have featured on the original Fullerton reissues, so 1982 was when they came back, not 1984. The neck in question is not in any way a Fullerton reissue however.

I thought the slab boards were only an early 60s thing, up to about 62 ?

Ive used stereo since day one (more or less). When we got our XR18 I was setting up the singer's IEM, she uses the XVive one, and was shocked at how flat and lifeless the mix sounded in mono. She still uses it but when one of my guitarists wanted to go IEM I got him to get the Legato one, as I had already have that as a back up system to my main one.

Yes, i remember when midi and sequencers came in and it was the 'death of real music'. Although they do have a lot to answer for!

I've never been a believer in this 'intellectual property' and 'royalties' thing. When someone makes a chair, no monies are due from anyone sitting on it once it's been sold. A musician writes a song, gets paid for recording it and the disk gets sold. He/she gets paid; end of. Those growing tomatoes sell tomatoes; those selling music sell their music. I don't hold with sitting by the pool with a long drink whilst the millions roll in from sales, often decades since the original 'creation'. It's virtual, and makes very little sense, except to specialised lawyers. Time to end it all and get back to getting paid for one's honest work, based on actually doing that work, not on having, once upon a time, having done it. Just my tuppence-worth; I know it's unpopular here, but...

It's a good spot, I really don't think they did? Also bear in mind the bullet truss rod came in later 74 and stayed until the start of the 80s, so it rules that period out. Definitely casts further doubt on the authenticity...

Thanks for the responses everyone. Really appreciate it. I'm guilty of overthinking audio routing etc so appreciate the reassurance!

Indeed. I can't remember anyone complaining in this vein about Neural Amp Models, or Quad Cortex Captures, amp plugins etc, yet all AI based. I don't even know where the line is these days, in what is truly defined as AI.

It is intelligent in the same way humans are intelligent, that is it has the means ('senses') to interact with information and the inherent capacity to restructure what it has sensed ('learn') on the basis of new information. Re sentient, see above, it's probably going to become a semantic as opposed to technical debate as time goes on
