I emailed him for more pics of the 63.... Everything on both screams scam to me. For a start there’s not many cameras These days that can get as low Quality images

interestingly theres a "63" precision listed from the same spanish island https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1963-Fender-Precision-Bass/133538462183?hash=item1f178339e7:g:iZcAAOSwbFdffCjm

So we had a cable running to our garage- electrician hooking up power to our outhouse so I ask: can you quote for lights and power in the garage, and if the cable is good we do that too. so he spends a day installing lights, plugs, breaker box in the garage - then tests the cable to find it’s bust ... 🤦‍♂️

I got the Edifer version of the PJB headphones. Arrived broken so exist held together by electrical tape now. If they are the same they are good buy at the Edifier price and not so much at thePJB price. With the refund I bought a cheaper secondhand set of AKG K249DF which are a lot better (though not really in the same league)

U ok hun?

That is either the cleverest idea ever of the most stupid!

talking of flawed physics... noticed how purveyors of higher mass bridges suggest they both allow the vibrations to be better transmitted into the body, and also decouple the body from the strings vibration... at the same time!

but if you were modelling that energy, sustain in itself wouldn't be the main aim.... longer sustain would mean a longer lower peak ... which I guess would sound more compressed. A sharp punchy attack would use up more of the given energy... (probably flawed physics on display here.)

I think the more important quality is the attack envelop of the note -rather than the sustain, though they are linked. I used to have a Warwick streamer, lovely thing, and like a lot of well built thru necks could sustain for hours. But when I got it it had active MEC pickups the attack was so quick it could sound like a machine gun, it sounded like it wasn't sustaining at all... based on the attack of the note. When I put passive Bartolini in it the attack was more subdued and it sounded like it had a lot more sustain... even though it really didn't.

I got to try Walshy's '66 precision at the weekend. That was a mistake, I now want one Might need to be satisfied by a bravewood.

Problem is - Other than bro drivers there’s two ways you can go lightweight ... Use thinner Lighter panels or properly brace lighter thinner panels. so there’s part of me thinks that construction quality can’t be completely taken out of the equation in a conversation about weight

I was wondering how the shafts were long enough - very clever

I like the rear mounted controls but with the Perspex bell plate - A good solution as it also helps them take more wood out the back.

question for you.... the BDDI i think gives a kinda SVT type tone in a pedal... on the Stomp can you get the SVT model to do what you're wanting it to as an alternative? Either as preamp or full amp

I used the Leland stuff - I wonder if PVA is needed as if anything the seal on the concrete will stop the paint keying into it. From memory the first coat soaked in a wee bit, and the second coat went Ontop

I painted our garage floor with the basic screwfix garage floor paint Last year, it’s been great and makes a big difference. I don’t know why I would need to redo it in three years really, but if I do it’s cheap and easy to do. I looked at epoxy and more expensive approaches but decided that for me they didn’t give me much over paint except a smaller wallet. Our garage is a double so the cost differences were multiplied vs Your considerations

Wow - I was daft enough to google. Some review of a $400 wooden box with a credit card that shines a led light and apparently enhances the 0s and 1s in a cd!

wow. When I bought my very modest Bluesound setup I looked at other options... theres a level of HiFi that seems to decend into a black hole I would rather not ever go down.

I ripped all the CDs to a NAS and then use bluesound powernode. i was starting from scratch and my first serious hifi- if I remember at the time we had just got married and it was a choice between a hifi and tv. We went hifi and bought a tv a few months later. (This is 7 years ago btw not in the dark ages when TVs were particularly expensive)

We've got a pair of Bluesound equivalent to Sonos one in the kitchen and then the Powernode in the front room with this weird 2.1 speaker system Bluesound did. Apparently no-one wanted 2.1 speakers in Europe. I think it's great, I get small bookshelf speakers, and then one of the toy boxes under the TV is actually a sub.
