[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1387321624' post='2310804'] I really like the recessed jack. Is that just me? [/quote] [s]possibly [/s] probably personally i prefer flat front mounting which my other three are and use a right angle jack [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1387324250' post='2310838'] I've wondered if it's not possible to just have one mounted on a plated without any real modification, covering the existing side hole ? [/quote] as icastle says that might require some woodwork - while i dont really mind attacking my Squier's with a sharp chisel I'd prefer to leave the Yammy alone - im guessing also the plate would need to be curved slightly so might be a bit of a faff i think the 'all neutriks' (other brands are possibly available??) method sounds fine for now - the last barrel jack i bought was just a bog standard generic one from local muso shop so serves me right i guess
-
can we keep all the pick players ensconced in their own wee enclosure please
-
yes pretty much that although ive tried cables too as somebody mentioned this before about the tips - i replaced the barrel socket completely a couple of years ago but now its playing up again - i was thinking perhaps of using a female XLR as a connector instead of 1/4 inch jack
-
sooooo, as much as i my TRB i am now in need of repair/replace the jack socket [b]again![/b] why yamaha thought this recessed socket idea would be good is beyond me anybody ever gone for an outboard female socket type thingy - i was thinking of soldering a short cable in and clamping it and sleeving it and leaving about 6 inches of lead with a female jack socket for easy connection pros/cons/tips pls if you ever tried this ta muchly

Why don't they have X factor for musicians?

if they did there would only be [url="http://newsthump.com/2011/12/12/simon-cowell-wins-x-factor-for-record-8th-time/"]one winner [/url] [color=#808080][b]Simon Cowell shocked morons everywhere last night by dramatically securing his tenth successive victory in ITV’s X Factor.[/b][/color] [color=#808080]The victory has come as a shock to millions of people who appear to have no idea what they are watching, and who for some unfathomable reason seemed to think victory belonged to a female singer called ‘Sam Bailey’.[/color] [color=#808080]Cowell told reporters after the win, “This is just like winning the lottery. Again. For the tenth year running.”[/color] [color=#808080]“People said it was impossible to win it all over again, but then I pointed them to a format that I completely own, and my record company that now owns all of the acts on the show, and then they have to admit it looks a lot like ‘winning’.”[/color] [color=#808080]“I’m simply overjoyed, and I can’t thank the fans enough for believing in this money making charade disguised as a talent show. Without them I would be significantly poorer.”[/color] [color=#808080]“Sam is quite pleased as well, and will be until she realises how little she actually stands to make from all this.”[/color] [b] [color=#808080]Cowell wins X Factor[/color][/b] [color=#808080]Experts have said that this latest victory yet again illustrates Cowell’s incredible natural gift for extracting money from simpletons.[/color] [color=#808080]Music industry analyst Simon Williams told us, “He’s like a force of nature, and fully deserves this tenth successive win.”[/color] [color=#808080]“Never before have we seen anyone so incredibly talented when it comes to turning the feeble-minded majority into cold hard cash.”[/color] [color=#808080]“To be honest, I don’t see how anyone will ever beat him.”[/color] -

steve-bbb replied to Damonjames's topic in General Discussion
they sort of do already - thing is it's percieved as a rather niche environment often for nerdy music geeks unfortunately it doesnt have the instant mass appeal of an ordinary person who happens to be 'brilliant' at singing just because they open their fat gob and a 'nice ish' sort of sound comes out compared to a program full of music swots who practice 25 hours a day since they were three years old and are on their way to a serious professional career in classical music http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/young-musician-2014.html -

[quote name='PTB' timestamp='1386918421' post='2306334'] I use a Boss LS-2 which are readily available second hand. You can match the levels of your two basses and it allows a variety of functions well beyond the normal A B box. [/quote] thanks - i was looking at the pdf user manual on the bossus site for the LS-2 and it does look pretty versaitle -

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1386784420' post='2304527'] I realise that the guy is a musical genius [/quote] maybe if he had the compositional and arrangment skills of vai the improvisational skills of holdsworth the musicality of mike keneally i could go on but you get the point imho etc etc genius and guitar in the same sentence really should be reserved for special cases like Mr Hendrix Malmsteen is a super proficient widdler. That is all ....IMHO etc etc shame about the guitars ... you are right .... that does indeed make him a [s]bit[/s] lot of a dick i hope this helps
