It sounds like a physical buzz. Is there a headphone output, and if so, can you hear the buzz on there? If not, could you take the effects send to something you can use headphones with and see if it still buzzes? Might just be a loose screw.

Ah, the finger sander/power file. Good when you're trying to cut out a rectangle in a diecast Hammond type box for a 16x2 or 20x4 display. My third favourite power tool, after the angle grinder and pillar drill.

I think you'll need to spin it into thread first, so you'll need to build a spinning wheel.

David Bennett Piano - not for my non-existent keyboard skills, but his looks at chord progressions, time signatures, etc.

A resistor of similar value to a 250k or 500k pot between signal and ground. 240k or 270k for a 250k, 470k or 510k for a 500k pot.

Would a foam pad under the head to isolate it help?

It was a shame that Ashdown didn't make their Superfly preamp/graphic EQ into a standalone pedal (I did suggest it to them but it fell on stony ground). Not only a programmable graphic EQ, but with the editor software you could use it as a 7 band parametric EQ.

Judging by the stock levels in online shops, you must have got the last one in the country.

The HX Effects has a current draw of up to 1100mA. Could you use a current doubler cable to get more than 900mA out of the power supply?

Built-in wireless - preferably modular so it can be upgraded when quantum digital wireless comes along. Fretted/fretless operation by moving a lever: I'm sure there was a better video than this but I can't find it.

Should be a good place to find a mechanic.

As I self-identify as 37 years old, I have a YOB Warwick Thumb. I'm just waiting for the age reassignment surgery at the moment.

I've got the 1265MS, the fancy wood version. One of the previous owners had swapped the pickups for Aguilar DCBs and they're fine - I bought it from @lowregisterhead but I think it was the original owner who did the swap.

Yes.

Well, no, but that's because my band already has a bassist. However, I've encountered both ends of the spectrum of helpfulness - current band are brilliant, I can lift and carry all my gear but there's quite a few bits as it's the PA plus my bass gear (nothing weighs more than 10kg) and they all help loading in and out. There was a band in the past that always managed to turn up later than me so I loaded all the stuff in (I had a heavier PA and bass rig then), then I would sometimes get some help loading out but never from the idle sod of a guitarist. So the answer is that it depends, if you tell them at the outset what help you'll need and also give an idea of your travelling limitations, you'll either find a great bunch of people or, er, you won't. PS. I meant to say that my current band would be perfectly happy to have someone in who needed help with gear, but I'm not leaving... 😁

Couldn't you just buy a smaller head - plenty of small 500+W heads around.

Well, yes, mainly because I set up the PA first.

Oh, and make sure that you know who your victim will be at the start of each song, so that you can give them a dirty look every time you play a bum note.

Work out who will be setting the pace then. Beware, it may be you... 😁

Well, somebody's had it.

It would appear from his feedback that he's sold 4 instruments in the last year, and one of them may or may not have turned up. I wonder why he bothers.

It's gone already so it quite possibly was.

As you intend to use it mainly for chordal and upper register work, you wouldn't have any disadvantage from a 6 - if the lower strings were more important then a 6 would mean an additional stretch to them but this doesn't seem to be the case from what you say. Also worth looking at second-hand is the Peavey Grind BXP - https://assets.peavey.com/literature/specs/116715_35545.pdf

It's very liberating.

Just remembered, there was a benefit to me playing sitting down with a previous band - the rest of the band were so short that despite only being 175cm (0.0086992 furlongs) tall, it was like being Gandalf with a bunch of hobbits.
