Sounds quite transparent...

YMMV, but if having it around is going to make you feel guilty, or you don't have the time/means to get it to a standard you're happy with, I wouldn't feel bad about stripping it for parts and chalking it up to experience.

So far this seems to be working, early days but not had any issues resuming since I changed that setting, good shout @Dad3353

I'd have guessed it's a result of the replacement board changing the contact point of the strings.

Thanks @Dad3353 I'd been through and checked if that was available for the interface but not the USB controllers, I'll give that a shot.

I have a Windows 11 PC and an SSL 2 USB audio interface, which work nicely most of the time. My only issue is that sometimes (maybe 50% of the time?) when the computer wakes from standby/sleep the interface isn't detected until I unplug and reconnect it. Anyone know if there's a Windows 11 setting you can fiddle with to prevent this sort of thing? My knowledge of lower level Windows configuration is wildly out of date.

What do you do once you've sobered up though

I quite like that as it is, I'd be inclined to leave it as is. Fretting that board could be painful if there are any discrepancies between the markings and the actual fret positions...

Thumb behind second finger is more like upright bass positioning but can cause problems on bass IME. Seems like you're on the right track now though.

Also take a look at your finger movement - is there any extra unnecessary motion? Are you hitting the strings harder than necessary? The more efficiently your hands move, the easier it is to speed up. Don't be afraid to play with a lighter touch and turn the gain up to compensate, if needed.

Sadowsky Metro Express (cheaper) or Lakland Skyline? Or the fancy Cort ones. Tbh I wouldn't buy a new £1200 Jazz though, as that puts you into seriously nice bass territory s/h.

And they're about 90 quid s/h

Peavey Milestone if you can find one of the P versions.

😍 All pointy guitars should come with metal-shod tips

Very nice! Arch top + gut cut fixes my complaints about the standard LP shape. Possibly, or it might just be how it's intonated -- the nominal scale length would be the distance from the nut to the 12th fret x2.

If you've not noticed any issues I wouldn't worry about it 🤷‍♀️

It also removes a point of differentiation between the Metro Express line and the next line up (German Metros?)

Is it a drop-in replacement? I opportunistically upgraded my ME with the higher end Sadowsky pickups and found that the differences were very small.

Yeah, although it still requires routing the top so probably not one for your Sunday best Fodera.

I missed a gig because I was so excited to see double bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer that I forgot we were meant to be playing the same night. Also had a near miss when the dodgy van the keys player's dad was driving us in got a flat somewhere between Glasgow and Perth... fortunately he had a tin of sealant and we made it in the end.

Very nice, much more balanced body shape than most Foderas imho.

You can check whether your email has been leaked in a previous breach on https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Spoiler: it probably has.

Nope, treat them like cattle not pets.

B dorian might have the same notes as A major but it's not harmonically the same -- e.g. a B dorian line will probably be trying to resolve to the B tonic, which can create a tension (playing "outside", in jazz terms), although not as much as playing a line with notes from outside the scale. The exact point at which it switches from "playing a line in A major" to "playing a line in B dorian" is fuzzy, there's hundreds of years of theoretical analysis dedicated to unpicking that sort of thing.
