  1. Past hour
  2. Here's a picture of a gentleman from China, knocking one out in his shed. I'm not sure what the esteemed and not-at-all AI generated luthier here is doing, but I'm sure it's boutique.
  3. On an Android, long press the number keys and it'll suggest fractions or superscript numbers.
  4. Say what?
  5. Hi Harlequin74, Yes it is, if would like to buy then pm me your details etc and we can sort 👍 Cheers Matt
  6. Apparently the term comes from French, meaning “small shop”. In the UK a small company has less than 50 employees and less than £10 mil turnover.
  7. Dropping the price to move this on, now £500.
  8. Final price drop, now £1600
  9. Seconded. It does seem an awfully long way to go to knock one out.
  10. Also look for the Benedetti Foundation Adult Playdays. I’ve just been on one this weekend, playing Mvt 2 and 3 from Tchaikovsky String Serenade and it was great experience. Professional tutors and a very relaxed, but focused day. https://www.benedettifoundation.org/adults
  11. Not quite but it does make some weird, wonderful and musical noises!
  12. Go here and generate them. ½ ¼ ⅛ ²³⁄₁₇₈...
  13. QSC CP12 Active PA Speaker 1000 Watts One of two - priced individually or for a small discount if sold as a pair. This speaker is as new and has not been used since purchase. It comes with additional QSC waterproof cover for outdoor use. Very powerful speakers however I’m downsizing and selling my larger portable PA gear. Street price is £579 cheapest I can find so this is a good saving. The covers cost an extra £67. The user manual is included. I have two of these for sale. I can knock off £40 if you buy the pair. Pickup definitely preferred but talk to me if this is impossible. UK only. Postage would be at buyer’s cost and I’d need to source packaging as the boxes have been recycled. These speakers get glowing reviews in Sound on Sound magazine - https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/qsc-cp-series I own a pair of QSC CP8s which are perfectly fine for keyboard monitoring and rehearsal PA so these aren’t needed now for personal use. Specifications from QSC below - Features Class-D amplifier with 1000W peak power output Selectable contours (presets) for quick setup Advanced DSP with Intrinsic Correction™ Superior sound quality and speaker protection Directivity Matched Transition™ (DMT) ensures uniform coverage across the entire sound field Suitable for use as a main PA, stage monitor or instrument amplifier 35mm pole mount socket Lightweight and incredibly portable Specifications Configuration: Two-Way Active Low Frequency Driver: 12'' Cone Woofer High Frequency Driver: 1.4'' Compression Frequency Response: 49Hz - 20kHz, -6dB 47Hz - 20kHz, -10dB Sound Pressure Level: 126dB (Maximum) Nominal Coverage: 75° Axisymetric Amplifier Type: Class-D Amplifier Power: 1000W (Peak) Input Connectors: 2 x XLR/TRS Combo (Line and Mic/Line) 1 x 3.5mm TRS Stereo Output Connector: 1 x XLR (Mix) Controls: Power 2 x Gain Mic Boost Push Switch 6-Way Contour Selection Switch Indicators: Power LED 2 x Input Signal LEDs Input B MIC Selected LED Limiter Active LED Power Supply: 100V - 240V, 50Hz/60Hz Enclosure Material: Polypropylene Grille: 18 Gauge Powder Coated Steel Dimensions: 516mm x 350mm x 323mm / 20.3'' x 13.8'' x 12.7'' (H x W x D) Weight: 13.7kg / 30.3lbs

  14. Thank you, it's really something special I think. The bodywork is a total credit to the former owner. I'd absolutely love a Jazz done the same way..
  15. ... Oh sorry boutique
  16. @Happy Jack - have you ever looked up input impedance of the Joyo transmitter? I just picked one up (JW-02S without charging unit) to use with bass guitar. Ran a few tests and I have to say it performs bloody well - frequency distribution barely distinguishable from cable. Possibly some limitation of upper harmonics above 600k, but that could easily be how I was plucking strings. Nice. But can I use it with upright / piezo? I'll give it a try, but I've a feeling the input impedance might be too low. Can't find any info on-line, apart from a spec for the older JW-02, which quotes a measly 220KOhms. That's gonna be too low for a piezo really, expect it'll thin the sound out a bit. Do you ever notice that?? It's one of the main things I've always liked about the Line6 gear (which I'm still using for upright gigs) - transmitter input impedance is 1.3MOhms. 👍
  17. Whereas I don't like roasted maple necks or weird woods...each to their own! My latest bass has a maple neck and is almost white... 😄
  18. *cough* I'd say boutique guitars and basses are very much alive though. There are many great luthiers out there who are doing really well for themselves. I feel that especially high end Fender-derivatives are selling VERY well, but the exotic wood coffee table is still very much a thing too.
  19. If you use VLC for playback, you can raise or lower the pitch (Tools | Effects | Audio effects | Advanced). Or, if you're using Youtube, you could try this: https://transpose.video/. Note: I have no experience of the latter. We play Sweet Child a semitone down, I use a pitch shifter (Zoom MS-60B+) as I play it with other bands and at open mics in D.
