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!

I've got tickets with my brother for next Friday. We watched the original so many times as teenagers. I can still quote most of the film.

Little known fact, Trace and Elliott's ancestors were both bakers in the middle ages. Thank goodness @neepheid's not bringing a Trace Elliott Fan!!

Can your midi controller do usb host?

Apart from the extra J PU, I don't see any extra 'quality' from the 800 or 1300 series that my MIJ 305 doesn't have.

This. Don't change the pre unless you want a tonal change from it, and unless it has a baked in EQ curve that you want/like, most aren't worth the money. Shielding is worthwhile, but really only copper tape, well applied. There are plenty of tutorials on YT. However, it may not make all that much difference in many rooms/venues depending in the local EMF/EMI and earthing quality. Best bet would be to change to SC J PU to a stacked or series HB version.

The allegedly good ones wouldn't have known they were good if there hadn't been any allegedly bad ones.

Yes, exactly.
