Is that a US thing or does it apply everywhere?

Bill, If you did drive that fast the New Hampshire cops would be on you pretty quick I think.

Because of the stupid old way instruments are sold, with an official price and a street price, which is often 30% less and is the price you really pay.

Hi @lksmks792, I'm in Belgium too, in the deep South part, close to Luxemburg. You could come home if you are in the neighbourhood and try my Casio GP-510 BP, which is an hybrid digital (upright) piano with 3 of the main piano brands sampled: Bechstein, who provided the grand piano mechanism, Steinway and Bösendorfer. I also own a Korg B2 (weighted keys) connected through my computer, to the VSL Synchron Steinway D standalone software and it sounds amazing through my calibrated monitors and headphones too. If you are in the North part, Maene in Gent, and many other places, is the place to go to buy a piano (second hand or new, acoustic, hybrid or fully digital): https://www.maene.be/en_BE/ If you want to stick to an acoustic upright, have a look at the Zimmermann brand, owned by Bechstein: https://www.bechstein.com/fr/pianos-droits-et-a-queue/zimmermann/#zimmermann Check the ads there if you're in the North part, and you'll be amazed by the number of acoustic pianos almost given for free: https://www.2dehands.be/l/muziek-en-instrumenten/piano-s/#Language:all-languages|sortBy:PRICE|sortOrder:INCREASING Or here, if you are in the South part: https://www.2ememain.be/l/musique-instruments/pianos/#Language:all-languages|sortBy:PRICE|sortOrder:INCREASING You'll certainly get the same ads on both as it's the same website in the two of the three main Belgian languages.

Problem is banning or censoring them just gives them a platform. I’d never heard of them before the recent controversy. Now I have. Still not listed to them. When interviewed they seem like confused puppies.

Just been watching Franz Ferdinand at Glasto - is it just me or is the snare sound really off? Is it phasing issues? https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002f3lw/glastonbury-franz-ferdinand-audacious?seriesId=b007r6vx-manual-3-must_watch_tracks

Why is everything "discounted" on the Peavey site all the time? List Price: $4,499 Our Price $3,499 It's not like that's a retailer having a clearout, that's the manufacturer's website for a new-to-market product. What utter nonsensical crud on so many levels. Hats off to Peavey for their choice of builder, though. But I would say that based on who it is.

Fantastic sets from Bob Vylan & Nova Twins.

I had a couple of Grind BXPs, a 5 and a 6. I tried a US Cirrus 5 string and decided I preferred the neck on the Grind. I'm sure the original Cirrus was quite a bit cheaper than the reboot version.

Buy a BDDI if you want that tone? None of the other preamps here are trying to be an SVT.

I caught 1 number and liked that a lot

Hmmm... I didn't know I was complaining! LOL

Don't have a TV or license to watch iPlayer, but was wondering if Georgia South was playing her red Westone (I admire her taste in bass guitars).

Same band that also openly praise Hamas and Hezbollah at their gigs, and tell their audiences things like "the only good Tory is a dead Tory, kill your local MP". Only to then be called out on it in light of things like the murders of Jo Cox and David Amess, and issue a half arsed apology that just screams "we're not sorry for what we did, only sorry we got caught". No, I'm not a fan. They seem like they all need a slap.

Yup, their name is a reference to the IRA's use of a shotgun blast to the knees of suspected informers or rival drug gangs.

Just as a thought: does the amp have an Effects Loop? If it does then try linking the Send and Return jacks with a signal cable. The normalizing contacts on these jacks are notorious for corrosion because they are not used that often. When this happens they fail to pass a signal through the loop.

Ah, that kind of kneecap then. Not for me either if so.
