Orange juice and soda, maybe a pint of ale later and possibly a second while taking down. I used to drink a bit more when Mrs Zero was driving us home but I find I no longer have the urge. Probably a scotch or two when I get home, doing the post-gig wind down (gigs are sufficiently infrequent that I still do that).

Something I intend to do soon, just need to get round to taking the laptop and HX Stomp upstairs where the reamp box and Behringer USB interface are waiting, and see if I can train it to a HX Stomp patch that I like.

Use glasses to read - I can just about make out a set list, but if I'm still using notes at rehearsal I need them. Also need them to set up and see what amp control is what. Don't wear them when gigging.

I have two Zoom MS-60Bs. Nominally they are identical, but one is missing a knob. It also has one switch which has failed to function. I also have two Tascam GB-10s, one of which is mildly faulty (I can't transfer songs via USB) but otherwise OK. I also have several sets of Elite strings.

Wasn't it from being hit with goats that had been killed by hammering them to death?

Not even consistently wrong. 2007/2008 on the auction title, and 1966 in the description. Would even a 2007 one have a headstock truss rod adjuster?

Aluminium extrusion? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303140120813 Corners: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403675119885 And use https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394102908259 and some screws to hold the plastic sheet to the frame.

It's 9V DC but needs more than 500mA.

At the moment the HX Stomp is on the pedalboard but I'd quite like to use the Dwarf instead. I haven't found a decent chorus yet (or at least the settings for one) though. Anyone have any suggestions?

I thought he had a pause, then made one which he said would be the last one a few years ago. Then I thought I'd check that, and found the Wal-a-like from a year ago which is a Boudica.

There's a pinned "Recommended luthiers" topic at the top of this subforum - you could check in there for a luthier near you.

The Harley Benton can't cope with the HX Stomp plus other pedals - get a motorboat sound from it. I've been unsuccessful with all otherwise good low-cost isolated supplies when trying to power the HX Stomp - the (obsolete) Vitoos ISO-8 doesn't manage to power up, even with current doubling, the Donner DP-2 hums, and the Kokko is noisy. My solution is to run a second 5.5/2.5mm DC extension alongside the 5.5/2.1mm DC extension which is cabletied to the jack-jack lead running from the HX Stomp output to the amp.

Thanks for that.

Going to have to decide that, we've only played one gig so far and I didn't think ahead enough. Need to play a song with all three of us who do vocals singing and both guitars playing, and then I need to try and work out what Mrs Zero's gesticulations mean in terms of turning vocals, one guitar, and the bass up or down (other guitar goes through backline).

Happy audience, happy band members, I've managed to get the mix about right, and haven't made a mistake in more than 20% of the songs. Getting paid adds that extra frisson.

Many years ago, a venue in Tamworth was put together by assorted enthusiastic amateurs. I played a gig there, at the point in my life where I was misguided enough to think I could be a lead vocalist, and got a tingle through my lips every time I touched the mic with them. I think I was lucky.

Have you tried Wembley Loudspeakers yet?

It may be possible to get it reconed. I remember Wembley Loudspeakers http://www.wembleyloudspeaker.com/ being mentioned for this before (I've not used them myself).

The Fender serial number lookup doesn't recognise that one with the S prefix. Without the S prefix, it says "BULLET REVERB 120V 3/PK" made in 2000.

GR Bass AT500 (or 800) Cube. Under 10kg for a 500W combo (the 800 is still 500 but allows you to add a second cab if you want to cut the front row of the audience down).

The bassline on that is another one that's not that simple, especially the timing round the start of the chorus.

We started out as a five piece band. One of the factors in getting rid of one guitarist is that he could not play the intro to Paranoid, and despite me explaining to him what he was doing wrong (which included a wrong note) he couldn't get it right. That aside (the intro is pretty simple), the bass line has quite a few variations and I can just about play it with fingers at the original speed (I have fairly slow fingers).

What's wrong with nails?

That would be a rather long strap, at 0.1 furlongs.
