Something new: Something old:

Sad to hear that - been there myself and only just now got out of it. Why not start an off-topic thread with your skill set stated ? Maybe someone here knows something …

I watch Sky Arts on Freesat channel 143. It's repeated in the week.

There was about five minutes of that. The rest was mainly a history of Joy Division, New Order, and a plug for the current Hook & Son band.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, I left it playing on repeat while decorating. Indie pop isn't my genre really, but as others have said, had an 80s feel, and could almost have been Blondie in a couple of places. There were some neat turns of phrase in the lyrics, particularly in the latter songs on the album. There's some talent developing there Available through Bandcamp, which is how I've bought the CD. https://tulparockband.bandcamp.com/album/monster-of-the-week

Hey Martin, Tried flipping the pins, but I'm getting a hum and overall scratchy/distorted sound. But it seemed like the out of phase sound was gone, when blended with bridge pickup - so something was right hehe. I have borrowed a soldering iron from a friend, but have never used it in my life. Guess I need to give it a shot. Any quick tips on that? I can logically understand that when desoldering those wire I should avoid that solder dripping on the pot, etc. Thank you so much!

I'll kick it off after Christmas.

A DMM sure tells something about the batteries. True battery testers usually have some kind of load which gives better understanding of the capacity.

Yes. I've used it for 2 rehearsals, one Church gig and one Pub gig. With another pub gig tomorrow evening. On all occasions it preformed as expected, a warm vintage sound that just sits in the mix so well. My iem mix and playing feel sounds like I'm using a 'real' amp. It's a definite keeper and I've sold off all my other preamp pedals because the BR15 is all I need. Highly recommended. 🎶🎶🎶🎶

Current bid is only $5250

I've just watched the first episode. Not a massive PH fan, but enjoyed all the contributions. Definitely worth watching because it covers all styles, not just PH.

I doubt very much that there will be a plethora of bass-related TV shows coming up in the new year so, personally, I'm glad to grab any that happen to come along. Clearly, you feel differently and, as I expressed in my last post, each to their own.

In the diary! So, for those of you who wanted it quieter next year... unlucky.

The place we use in Perth has a vintage, Fender Bassman head through, I think, a Fender 6x10. Sounds good, no? Well, in all honesty, it’s just about OK, certainly nothing to get excited about. The space is actually the live room for adjacent studio, control room and not particularly large (but not small or cramped). Back there next Wednesday to shake out the dust and try 5 new songs for a gig, later in the month.

The one I go to each room has an Ashdown Mag 500 amp and Ashdown 8x10 cab. Each room we normally rehearse in is about 4m square.

I had the 4 string, and I loved it at the time.

First thing you could try is to flip both of these connectors upside down: If that doesn't do it, flip them back to where they were when you started. It looks like you really need to swap the black and white wires that go from the P pickup to the blend pot, but from your question I'm guessing that soldering is not an option? One possible solution would be to cut those two wires and use a small terminal block to reconnect them the other way round - white to black, and black to white:

Is there a “player” or stream for the Sky Art channel?

I suppose I'm referring specifically to the programme title.
