Supersize Me was scary and interesting.

Nordstrand will make me a 17.5mm spacing Big Single. One of them at the neck and a Nordy Bigman at the bridge.... I can hear the "other forum" exploding already!

Interesting! My TM5 output is massive compared to my ray. No idea which pickup is the ray, it's a 2005 if that helps.

Has anyone ripped the guts out of a ray5 and replaced the pickup & preamp with something else? Like a set of Nordy Big Singles and modern higher output preamp? To make a JazzRay? I love the playability of my Ray5, but tonally my Sandberg TM5 leaves it for dead. What have you lot done? (Obviously I'll put this on the EBMM forum as well at some point! )

Empress Compressor.

It's a shame it's sh*t. I used to look forward to getting it and reading it on the train home. Was a nice treat, that originally wasn't too expensive.

DOD Boneshaker. New pedal from NAMM. Looks perfect.

Phrygian Major. Also known as Spanish Gypsy scale. The basis of flamenco. Tis lovely!

I'd get a new scratch plate cut and load some tasty single coils into it. Nordstrand Big Singles or similar. Or - the EMG bucker that is shaped like a MM doesn't sound anything like it.

I've had both heads. I kept the Shuttle. Suited me far better and seemed to have more welly!

Pair of Berg CN112 would solve your problems.

I'd go for the band that allows the best musical education. Picking a song on the night doesn't have to be like a school band, it can be brilliant if the players are up to it. Playing in your comfort zone all the time is stagnating.

[quote name='NJE' timestamp='1423244306' post='2682778'] I got the white one as I am a sucker for white and tort, I was almost swayed by the red one as well though. I bought mine from Gear4Music, they were superb and it was free shipping I think. I know Thomas are super cheap but I presume they add a chunk for uk delivery. [/quote] Free delivery over £150 / €199 I think.

[quote name='Bassjon' timestamp='1423251455' post='2682894'] I Want You Back - Jackson 5. That bass bit in the middle. its arpeggios, fast starting on an 'off' 16th note. Hard to get the feel right. Other than that yes Iron Maiden stuff is very hard to keep up the dexterity fingerstyle over a whole gig [/quote] Aye. Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is a sod. Even with the slow bit in the middle it's damn hard work.

Streamer Stage 2.

I seem to recall a story where someone arrived to pay & collect an item. The buyer paid electronically while there, and the goods changed hands. 5 mins after the buyer left the buyer called his bank and cancelled the transaction as an error. Money gets pulled straight out again. It's so close to the original transfer the bank just do it.

[quote name='mazdah' timestamp='1423177347' post='2681999'] You certainly can! But LB-30 (mine, not sure about newer ones) has effects loop BEFORE preamp, not between preamp and poweramp, so both preamps will work in conjunction, no matter how you plug it in. [/quote] Really? What would be the point of having it before the preamp? That wouldn't be a "loop" at all - it's no different to plugging into the front of the amp!

Been looking at the Roland Mobile Cube. Has a few minor FX, but seems to be for keys and acoustic guitar, and has a bit of reverb. Might be just the thing. She hasn't got a PA (She's 10 years old). It's 99% classical stuff. She plays in a local music trust orchestra that I also play in.

Colorado Bulldog. Took me frakking ages to get that right.

No. If you run the FX SEND from one head into the INPUT of another (the front end) then you will be stacking Preamps on top of each other. Not recommended. You could use the FX SEND on 1 head into the FX return on the other. That would use Preamp on the 1st head and the Power Amp on the second, but whether that gives you EQ control depends on where the EQ is in the circuit on the amp. It also means the Preamp on the 2nd head has no influence on the sound - it is bypassed. AND, the head being used as Preamp only may still need a speaker load on it (some won't but many will). Buy an EQ pedal instead. Ashdown have one, or the MXR EQ pedal, or a Soundblox programmable thing. It's far safer and less kit.

Billy Gould, Faith No More: from out of nowhere.

UK company... But cheaper in USA? http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/02/03/ashdown-announces-desktop-b-social-bass-amp/
