Lousin’ time. Leonard Cohen

Which part of FOH? The mixing desk? It's a tool I think they are awesome and I wouldn't expect anyone to take Neve to a bar gig As for the studios - yes, we did used a computer to record the sound coming out of our amps but I don't think I can say that this or any respectable studio I know converted to digital:

I did physics at school - but preferred chemistry - as you could lean to blow stuff up 😁 I discovered ping pong balls dissolved in nitric acid can be used to make make 'gun cotton' - it's amazing how long it took for my eyebrows to grow back even with all the hormones of a fifteen year old at the time.

A lil box arrived yesterday afternoon, I’m looking forward to sticking the business end of my nifty-fifty up in the shiny-shiny’s goggle box. It’s going to be interesting to see how it compares sat next to the QC.

Don't forget, the M8 screws need washers in their pockets to spread the load. The force will be equal to the load on the inside so spreading it over a greater area than those two washers is redundant.

If you like Bitty McLean and Sly and Robbie, which I think is a great combination, I’d recommend giving the album Forward a listen, really enjoyed it

I finally found some unicorn pickups. A few years back I had a PJ Mustang bass I installed a set of Dimarzio Area PJ pickups into. I didn't want the firepower of Model P and J pickups, but wanted a noiseless J, and along came the Dimarzio Area set courtesy of EBay. I eventually sold the bass, but could never find another Area P pickup, aka a DP250. Dimarzio never published a web page for them or really acknowledge their existence. I assume their Sixties P pickup is the successor. Finally a set appeared from a UK seller on EBay, so I snapped them up! They are built like Model Ps, set into their cases with epoxy and with two wires per pickup half plus a chassis ground wire per half. Six wires to tuck away into the control cavity! These also have Alnico II magnets, which is apparently unusual. From memory they were fairly mild output and sounded like nice, detailed P pickups. Nothing unusual or astonishing but a nice take on a vintage pickup. Maybe I remember them more favourably as I thought they were extinct... The kicker is that I paid £140 for them and they came with a pickguard with a pre-loaded wiring harness. I didn't need the pickguard! I think the pickguard is also a Dimarzio offering. There is a terminal block for the pickups glued onto the pickguard. I can't transfer the harness due to the glue, but i don't want a stark white pickguard on either of my P Basses. I think Dimarzio offered these pre-populated pickguards for a while, but assumed you would want a white pickguard pre-drilled for a '60s style tugbar and pickup cover. I've seen 'The Bass Whisper' reviewing a similar pickguard and Model P set on YouTube.

bought a wireless unit from will. superfast delivery with no issues thanks

Yes, and that despite me specifying that I played a 5 string bass, so...

Dave, 2 months ago we played The Anodyne in Milwaukee. Big " green room" with a private bathroom. We had and opening act and we were to be on stage at 8:00. Some day I'll have to share the story of why I was walking around in that bathroom completely naked at 7:50. Daryl

El Maya ...and dibs😁

Anyway, here's my new pedalboard...

We need 8 mm footage from the Kluson factory to surface!

Hey I knew what you meant, there is a difference.

I am currently leaning on one. Well, its under my seat until i find somewhere else for it to be. Not new though, and they don't come up used often. Its a small. Small is actually pretty big in your living room!

Okay, now kill me for my typo

But at least you appear to have 4 strings.

Sshh. He likes my board
