    I quite like a small pan in a 1 guitar ban - bass left and guitar right. 15 - 20% ish. Doesn't seem to affect the punch but gives it some spread. I do like to write tunes with really heavy middle sections - after reading this thread I might automate it to put everything dead centre for that part of the song to see if it makes a difference.

    99.9% of the audience won't know it's a signature model. Even when I had an Ibanez Jem Blue Floral - not once did a non-guitarist know it had anything to do with Steve Vai. To them it was just a guitar with a blue floral pattern on it.

    I have had several - cheap and expensive. And tried different video sources too - streamed stuff and vids that are on the ipad itself. Same result every time.

    I've tried several wireless cans and speakers with my ipad on bluetooth and the latency is horrible. Fine for just music of course, but nasty for anything that needs to be sync'd. I don't mind ones that have a wired connection option too, but I'll never buy another wireless only model.

    https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/ Is usually a good bet.

    @therealting Have you done anything with the pickups? I'm liking the P but when I'm recording the J is a noisy thing. I'm trying to find a noiseless J that I can drop into it without any routing but I'm not having much luck so far. Any ideas?

    Might just bite the bullet and get a Hipshot B style.
  8. fretmeister
    That’s not a slot loading bridge.
  9. fretmeister
    Other than the Hipshot B Style are there any other bridges with slot string load and use the same screw holes as a regular Fender BBOT bridge? I’m needing to change strings and tunings a lot for a recording project and I’d like to make it easier and save the strings more easily too. ta.

    Nah - they come with D'addarios.

    The price is considerable - but still cheaper than what used Stingray necks go for on ebay. Modern ones are usually close to £500 for a 4 string, more for a 5 string. 1970s ones hit a grand sometimes! I suppose the rarity of just finding a neck keeps the price up.

    Momoa is a big deal now. He's Aquaman in the DC films and was in Game of Thrones.

    Why the giant text?

    Definitely confusing. I'm not interested in mixing on headphones as I have proper monitors for that, but I do want something good for vocal recording. I'm not sure if flat is the way to go or whether something with a mid hump might actually help when concentrating on the vocal. I need to read more!

    I love Status neck (and bass) sounds. Clear and punchy. No wolf notes. Brilliant. Just a shame they've got a square-ish neck profile these days. Can't get on with that at all. No idea if they use the same profile for the P / J / Ray necks though.

    I know nothing about this subject but.... would the 32ohm version of the DT770 have sounded different? I'm in the market for a good set of isolating cans for tracking vocals and the more I read, the more I'm confused!

    Are these passive cooled or do they have a little fan in them?

    A couple of absolute bargains. EBMM 5 string stingray at £1300 brand new Ashdown CTM 300 for only £729 (RRP at 2 grand IIRC) Used Ashdown LB550 for £263 couple of others too https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/sale/bass-guitars Man I wish I had some money!

    Selling my (I believe) unique ThorpyFX The Veteran Si. Why is it unique? Because it has gold footswitches and a purple / mauve-ish chassis. When I bought this new from Adrian Thorpe he called me and informed me he had run out of the usual colour chassis and would I consider a different colour chassis. I did. @ThorpyFX can verify this if you need that. I'm moving it on simply because I need some good vocal recording mics and I need to raise money. Comes with the box and instructions. It's a fantastic pedal but needs must. £170 ono including Special Delivery in the UK. If you want to collect if from Northants I can knock the postage off. ta

    I have lost the power supply to my Rockboard XL I am annoyed.

    Black always looks better than tort. Tort is for deviants.

    I do wish EBMM would update the Sterling to be lightweight like the ray. OR at least make the SLO neck available on the Ray all the time.
  24. fretmeister
    Weird isn't it! I've had 5 string Rays that have been lighter.

    Depends on the individual preset. Even among the crap on the Helix there are some good ones.
