In a gig situation? Yes. Only a few people will hear them as intended.

So stereo rigs and effects is a lie?

House Land and Right. If you're self operating from the stage turn the PA to face the back if you think it may get confusing. Also, it doesn't really matter as everything should be mono.

Nice work, I've tried a few different options for tilting and lifting cabs over the years, and I agree, many are too shallow as they're designed for guitar amps. Your solution looks excellent.

The Model T is about 15 years old and was made in Korea. Has the Seymour Duncan passive pickups. I mostly use the front pickup and add just a little back pickup to taste. The coat is genuine 1980s fashion which I picked up 2nd hand recently. Perfect for the genre:)

Really cool.

Great point! Does indeed sound like the drummers work. That is at least if such is involved in the musical project in question.

how about that tone wood or tailor swift folks …. zzzzz

Genuinely groundbreaking work is measured in $ now? In that case I wonder how come Einstein wasn't the riches man in the world... Or why more scientists aren't rich, and how come some inventors of pretty genius stuff even died poor... Or how a lot of truly groundbreaking musicians in most cases did... Also Microsoft got a habit of buying up smaller competitors and stealing their hard work, in other words they are basically the business equivalent to scavengers, or even worse parasites. Of course this is pretty common practice for all big companies with enough capital to do so, but Microsoft is not exception in that. And sure parasites are a very successful family of animals, but normally not that well seen.

I'd make it the drummer's problem... Sounds like something metal needs to be hit with something else. Or, if your drummer has a sample pad or any kind of electronic drum kit it's easy enough to do.

Yep they are clinging on to existence thanks to all that legacy software. I will leave it here as I am far from a Microsoft fanboy but just recognise that they are far more than the Windows operating system.

He had mentioned it to me but when I showed an interest he had already agreed for you to view it… totally my fault and no problem as I bought a different Precision from him on Saturday :). I am in Stoneygate so pretty close to Oadby!

Sounds awesome!

Okay so this weekend I decided to add another V-4 to my collection. I found a really good deal online from a shop that I actually visit quite often for a V-4 Tony Butler, he'd over ordered and is blowing them at various prices, with lowest being less than half price with free postage (if you find the right advert). I was already in manchester but he honored the online price, mine cost me £210. search Chase Direct either online or Evilbay Out of the box she need a little care and attention. truss rod tweak and the action lowering to how I like it Paintwork & hardware fit and finish are perfect Fretwork needed sorting Intonation was spot on The pickup sound fantastic through my Ashdown ABM EVO III 500 Both controls are super responsive. Minor niggles The frets needed work (a couple of rough spots) The bass weighs 9Lb 4ozs but is slightly neck heavy Factory fitted strings are rubbish to say the least The only mods I'm thinking off (only because I already them in my parts draw) Pure Tone 4 point jack socket 3 string tree to stop any A string buzz (though she doesn't have any at the moment) I may fit a Gotoh 201b (may have to shim the neck to keep my prefered string height) The interesting thing comparing the models I have are the differences. V-4 MVW features a Poplar Body & Wilkinson WJBL200 machine heads V-4 BLK features a Alder Body & Wilkinson WJBL175 machine heads V-4 MTB features a Alder Body & Wilkinson WJBL200 machine heads, maybe has a different pickup (Sounds beefier than the one in the V-4 BLK The thing that really suprised me though are the neck dimensions V-4 MVW = 22.5mm 1st fret & 23.5mm 12th Fret (Almost D shape profile) V-4 BLK = 21.5mm 1st fret & 22.5mm 12th fret (C shape profile) V-4 MTB = 19mm 1st fret & 20.5mm 12th Fret (Soft V flattening to C shape profile) Left to right = V-4 MVW, V-4 BLK, V-4 MTB The V-4 MVW almost goes from neck to headstock without any real slopping The V-4 BLK has a gentle slope from neck to headstock The V-4 MTB has more of a slope towards the headstock and almost feels like its missing it's fingerboard compared to the other depth wise
