It's a sure-fire putter-offer, recording one's own voice; even for an answering machine..! Very few people can stand the sound of their own voice played back to 'em. The ideal is never to listen, I suppose..!

I pretty much gave up ages ago; too many erudite keyboard furies for my poor fingers to match..! Very late at night (or early morning...) I can be tempted, but I'm not thinking my best then either, so...

Yes, I see the resemblance, now that you mention it.

For the use you're putting 'em to, it'll work just fine. They mention 'V'-guitars; they could just as easily have listed most guitars, amps and speakers. They work less well on some guitars with recessed jack sockets, such as Strats and the like (or speaker cabs with recessed plates...). They are not suitable for high-power speaker loads (no jacks are...); Speakon connectors are preferable for connections over 200w or so (although some older amps and cabs had jack connectors...).

My apologies, I wouldn't want my ignorance to create a problem for anyone. I'll gladly bow to your evident expertise in the matter; thanks for the correction. Would you advise, if the floor needed recovering, covering over, or biting the bullet and getting the experts in to remove 'em..? I'm assuming that they're perfectly safe whilst left alone, is that right..? I suppose that, in the event of a house sale, this kind of issue would have to be declared to any potential buyers..? I found this site to be interesting and informative on the (limited...) subject of domestic asbestos ... Asbestos Floor Tiles ...

Best to not disturb 'em, then; maybe lay over 'em if a change is needed..? If they are there from before 1980, they may contain asbestos; if not they won't as that's when the chop came.

No.

As permanent storage, basses on the floor may not be the best option, but for a photo shoot, I can't see the problem. I doubt that the tiles are asbestos, either; these were abandoned many years ago (and are harmless, in any case if left undisturbed...). Just sayin'.

Mono 1/4" jack straight to right-angle adapteur...

Famous last words. ...

50 kms south of Paris (Fontainebleau...), so a faire trot, but Skype is an option, it seems. Good solid stuff.

Ordered, unseen. D.A.Holwill is recommendation enough. Amazon review will follow (good or not so good..! )

Have you changed the battery for the piezo lately..? It has both an active and a passive mode; to run at its best it'll need the battery to be fresh, and in active mode. Worth a thought..?

Thanks for the congrats, folks, but I must offer an apology this month. I'm not well right now, and haven't been following too closely; indeed, I've not even voted, myself..! May I suggest that the current 'second ' ( @upside downer ...) take the top spot (I'd have voted for that one, which would have brought on a tie, anyway...)..? I'll get around to doing the usual Certificate later, in both our names, but I'm really not up to it right now, and wouldn't want to put too much of a damper on the Challenge, which is doing splendidly, with, as has been mentioned, much talented creation from old hands and newer faces. Copy to @lurksalot and @Skol303 for validation; I hope this meets with your satisfaction. No worries; I'll be back with more of my stuff as soon as I can.

Good evening, KBD, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I did indeed, and very pleasurable it was, too. Health and time constraints put a stop to it. I did have the intention of picking it up again, but I'm rather worn out, I'm afraid, and if I can't do the stuff justice, I'd rather desist.

Good afternoon, Mark, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

The harmonic will always be exact, whatever the intonation, and, in fact, helps check the intonation..! The fretted 12th fret should be the same note as the harmonic.

Good morning, GGG, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Use the octave harmonic if the open string is too difficult to discern. Lightly touch the string at the octave, and release, whilst plucking. This is very accurate for tuning.

Your location may be a factor. London..? South-East..? Outer Hebrides..?
