Nothing wrong with the MK-1s, they just have a flat output rather than any particular peaks and troughs. It's fashionable to criticise them though. So, appropriately for this thread, people buy or acquire replacements for them because they think they ought to.

I don't have any holes for anything to fit in. It's the wheel bit that's missing.

Are you sweating awaiting the outcome?

There were a few suggestions in a thread that was in General Discussion. I don't think the Stagg that I recommended would be suitable for you as it doesn't fold down particularly small.

"Wasn't it great the way that Bob Geldof got a saxophone sound out of a candelabra?"

Stand it upside down. Oh, hang on...

I've only done a couple of weddings with what were normally pub bands, and they were for friends of band members and were OK. However, I did a few with the ceilidh band and they were very hit and miss, sometimes waiting for ages to set up because we were going to be playing in the room that the speeches were being done in, sometimes having to cope with extremely drunk dancers.

Hercules do make a long arm hanger. However, I don't trust it for anything heavier than an Ashbory.

If you play something that's quite close to the recording that they have in their head, they'll mentally supply all the other bits. Get too far from the original and the gears will start to grind though.

Back at Pitchers and we found that since we were last here a fortnight ago, we've lost 30% of the stage area to some lowest common denominator entertainment device called a Dance Machine. As James and his guitarist-sized pedalboard were here, as well as Phoebe with her far more modest showing, there was barely anywhere to stand and getting to the mic to do some BVs wasn't easy. It wasn't very busy, a few regulars were absent. There were three featured bands - Three Mile Island quite impressed me, an originals straightforward rock band. The monstrosity can be seen behind me - the drumkit normally goes where it stands now. It stands on a platform which the bass amp was set up on (it normally lives where that Boss amp is). Also visible is the first half metre of James's pedalboard.

Saturday night, back at a WMC that Dirty Roses have played at before. Went down well, which was nice. I've done several years of social club work so I'm used to the bingo and play your cards right, it's still a novelty for the others. Antoniotsai dragon bass -> Lekato WS-90 -> Zoom MS-60B+ -> Tecamp Puma 900 -> GR Bass AT212. We have our youngest fan.

You might as well cast a horoscope as use Myers-Briggs. What colour hat is natural contrariness, and what one is a desire to treat cause rather than symptoms?

I often put my Zoom MS-60B+ on top of the amp with a short lead. At one gig, everything went silent at one point and I saw that the pedal had vibrated off the amp. So I took to using a longer lead and putting the pedal on the floor, except at a couple of open mic nights where the pedal sits quite happily on top of the amp and stays there. Until tonight. Bah. Another open mic one, this time when playing guitar - I'm so used to playing wireless that at the end of my slot, I just stood up and walked off stage, causing a mic stand and music stand to come crashing down. Oops.

Oh yes you did.

ITYF it has to be in his uncle's attic to be authentic.

Something that saves me doing the same thing is remembering that the pins point in the direction that the signal goes.

Or buy a You Rock YRG1000 for a lot less. Or an Artiphon Instrument One.

It was easy for me - I did this at school, where MD stood for Master's Detention, and as I had a few of those it was simple to remember. So the Motor was on the left and the Dynamo on the right.

It's an ETLA.

Try using the 5th string instead of not using it because you don't need it. You are allowed to play it further up than the 4th fret.

Ah yes, another hate. Using your PIN number to withdraw money from an ATM machine. Examples of RAS syndrome.

The hissing of summer lawns?

Hope it has a lovely grain. Or maybe stain it if it's rather on the pale side:

You just have to remember that the left hand is Motor and the right hand is Dynamo, then First finger is Field, seCond finger is Current, and thuMb is motion. Fleming's left and right hand rules (no relation).
