Although by that rationale, the only tuner in the entire equation is the person turning the bit of instrument that needs to be turned to tune the instrument, or "BOITNTBTTTTI" for short. Ah yes, another of my prejudices - tuners/machine heads/BOITNTBTTTTI at the wrong end of the instrument. They should be by or associated into the bridge. I don't like bolt-on necks with big heel blocks (eg FSO). And if there has to be a headstock (occasionally a necessary evil), it should be equipped with compact tuners/machine heads/BOITNTBTTTTI, not those sodding great things that Fender use that necessitate huge headstocks. And for five-strings, 4+1 is not good, 5+0 is definitely right out.

The ones on violin tailpieces are called fine tuners.

As @neepheid says, Tecamp Puma 900. I've refrained from commenting so far as they tend to go for a little above your budget, but well worth it if you can afford it, and plenty of power on tap if you should change cab.

I don't know. For some reason it redirects to the de. AliExpress store - I wasn't going through a German VPN and other AliExpress stores don't do that. I did try removing the de. but it stayed in German.

Someone on the silly prejudices thread will be having conniptions at that, black body, black pickguard, shiny screws.

I thought that was what you meant - rolling the finger rather than crosswise as you would with a guitar or fretted bass. I sometimes find myself doing that, force of habit from so many years mostly playing fretted and my only violin experience being 50 years ago.

The GR-55 uses an amalgam of pitch detection and COSM - a patch can be made up of some, all, or none of two PCM sounds (pitch detected), one COSM sound, and the instrument pickup. Another thing I need to spend some time on.

Maybe some George Ezra? The problem with playing music from the last decade is that in order to select what to play, one of you needs to subject yourself to music from the last decade. Perhaps allocate two years apiece so with any luck you'll all come out the other side relatively intact.

Wandering around AliExpress, as one does, I found XR18s being sold for £285: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006220741127.html So I've ordered one, using a credit card so I've got both AliExpress and credit card protection. I have an XR12, so I'll be able to compare the two visually both externally and internally, as well as comparing the noise they make. It has made its way to the departure transport hub and is supposed to be with me by the 21st.

Far too few basses have a headless option (see complaints above about headstocks). Far too few basses have a natural finish option. I don't want ugly, easily chipped paint. Far too few active basses have a means of selecting passive, for those horrible moments when the battery goes flat (and for those dinosaurs who prefer passive). It's only happened once for me, but that's once too many, and that bass got a pull for passive volume control soon afterwards.

You could always just talk to the bands and ask them to keep energy drinks away from you, and no hot food in the control room.

I think it's this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123852884907 (also available from another seller for £700 more).

I think you need to do away with that shim and if it still needs one, get a full neck pocket sized one (set of 3 different ones: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166313960606). Also get another nut. You might finish up with a nice looking bit of wood which would be a bonus. Edit: the Ebay ones don't seem to be tapered, so they're not very useful.

Back on the subject of etiquette, has anyone mentioned personal hygiene? Also consider what to eat on the night/morning before going into the studio - garlic and onion sandwiches might not be appreciated, nor anything flatulence-inducing.

Have you tried contacting Hartke?

It's just reminded me that I have a G50 transmitter that the door came off - I got a replacement door but I couldn't manage to get it exactly correct when I put it on. However, I'm taking a few Line 6 things to a former Line 6 tech who still repairs them and I'll see about burdening him with that too 😁

TBH, I'd be more worried about treading on the knobs - either me or someone else. One advantage of monitors over silent stage if you're playing crowded pubs with no raised stage is that they can be used to form a sort of barrier to offer some protection to floor-mounted equipment. See also music stands.

Leave the 115 unplugged and stand the 410 on top of it.

Could you be more specific? If you mean that you're putting your forefinger on the fret to play the note, that's a problem because you need to put your finger just behind the fret, otherwise your finger will damp the string vibrations. If you mean that you're not getting round to the string properly, make sure that your left hand is positioned so the thumb is pretty much central at the back of the neck and your left forearm is sloping upwards from the elbow.

If you look at the pictures of the amp you will see that the ventilation slots are on the sides rather than the top of the amp, so liquid ingress would rely on the beer hurling itself sideways with sufficient velocity to place a sufficient quantity of it on the PCB to cause an issue, or crawling up the pots far enough to trickle down the spindles. One of our guitarists has a pedalboard amp which he either runs to a cab or DIs to the PA. It cuts the amount of gear he lugs in by one box.

I've got a DP008EX - haven't used it much yet, keep meaning to get round to it. Easy enough to use, 8 tracks with 2 tracks simultaneously recording, so if it's just you or you plus A N Other that should suffice.
