Alegree - a good "odds and sods" guitar bits kind of place https://www.alegree.co.uk/products/red-guitar-stand?_pos=13&_sid=e145bc26a&_ss=r

Thanks man, but I found a source of the Rotosound stands I like for a fiver cheaper than most places, and they have ALL the colours, so the order has been placed.

Yay, a week to go! Today is planning day - do I have enough stands? EDIT - EEK, I do not! Glad I checked!

I know, right? I only went wireless last year - dunno why I didn't do it years ago, it's so much fun! People listen with their eyes, so you bet I go on walkabouts during easy bits in songs

Why do you think I have a Sire D5? That itch has to be scratched sometimes...

I'm happy that you're happy, but you couldn't help having a wee dig at folk at the end, could you? If you're looking to make friends, or convince people of the value of your revelation to them, this isn't the way.

A busy weekend for Nine Lives, two shiny new (to us) venues to play! Saturday it's the North Bar in Peterhead, Sunday it's the Pittendrum Bar in Sandhaven.

Ach, I was just being a devil. Have a great gig!

Is that what it says?

Well, in an ideal world, free from constraints (for example monetary or physical space) then I'd be trying whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Life's not like that. Limits exist. As I said before, the reason I won't touch 15" cabs with a bargepole is mostly because they won't fit in my car. It has nothing to do with them being 15s, they just don't fit into my life and the way I want to live it. Also, frankly I'm just not that excited about amps and cabs. To me, they're a necessary component in order to make noise and that's about it. Apart from the 30W practice amp I started with, I've only owned 4 amps and 4 cabs in about 20 years, and almost always one at a time. Amps. Cabs. Eh, I'd rather buy another bass.

I've owned one of these and I can't abide them, because the front pocket can't take A4 paper without folding it. Got rid when I sold a bass.

I'd take that backhanded compliment and run with it, you bet

https://reverendguitars.com/store/bass-pickup-jazz-bomb/ If you want to source one, you might want to give Merchant City Music in Glasgow a shout - they seem to be far and away the UK's most prolific Reverend dealer.

I despise Jazz basses, and I'm not a huge fan of bridge pickups of any kind, yet the bridge pickup sound of my Reverend Triad is one of the finest sounding bridge pickups I've ever heard. As soon as I tried it in the shop, I was very impressed.

There's nothing unique about either of my bands. Making music these days is like pissing in the sea.

15" cabs don't fit in my car. 12" cabs do. So purely from a practicality point of view, I'll stick with the 12s, thanks.

Honestly, I'm more of a dark fingerboard guy. As such, if anyone's up for a neck swap, let me know!

It was Kenny's and yes, I have one of those too for exactly the same reason

9.5K - is that all? "The (Reverend) Jazz Bomb bridge pickup features warm mids and a focused attack, enhanced output, and still percussive when you dig in. Hum-free. 43 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 14K ohms." Not that DC resistance is the be-all and end-all of pickup power...

It's a fair cop, guv'nor! But I was doing so well, having managed to visit Merchant City Music and successfully not buy anything...

Just finished having a quick razz on it. Good old MFD oomph! Then to a little bit of finessing - removed the pickguard film, had to tighten up the jack socket, redid the intonation and finally replaced the nasty, cheap dome top knobs with some nice solid flat tops. New flat tops with one of the original dome tops in the middle for scale. Bonus is that the set screw of the flat tops acts as a position indicator.

If you stop contributing to the tonewood debate, it might go away? Wishful thinking, I know...

In for a penny... I'm sure there's an upper limit to how many basses one can fit in a 2011 Mitsubishi Colt, but I've yet to find it.

MFD "J" does not equal J...
