Best bet is to take one off and measure the hole, but I'd imagine they're 14mm.

Oh God. That sounds just like I want it to. I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it....

What strings have you got that sound alright for drop C#? I'd like to try my Mustang in my doom band and we're in drop C, but the D'Addario 45-105 set I've got on at the moment don't quite sound good enough for me. Might be because I'm too used to the definition from my Dingwall though 😅

I played in a band where the guitarist would loop stuff live. The click track took a bit of time to get used to at first but it was really useful. I now miss the whole IEM experience. If I could convince everyone in my current band to use in ears I would be sooooo happy. I hate ear plugs, which I do wear, but I feel it takes too much bass out. I'd love to go back to my own personal mix...

Shouldn't be too hard with an adaptor or two depending on your tablet. Have a read of this: https://www.airdroid.com/screen-mirror/how-to-connect-tablet-to-tv-using-usb-cable/ You can try it out on your TV. If it works on that, it'll be fine at the gig.

Could you print the edges of the modules into a tongue and groove sort of a shape, with little internal tabs you could put a bolt through? You can put a dab of glue in the grooves and tighten it up with some tiny M2 bolts. Then to make it really modular, the end pieces have the corresponding tongue/groove and a hole for a bolt to sit on the outside. Might be too complicated though! I tried doing some 3d modelling once. I did not have a good time...

That's a great result on all accounts! Glad the new basses are working out for you!

What you get up to in your garage is up to you, but I'm assuming that's why the rest of the band didn't want to go back!

Just had an email from Andertons, they're available for pre-order now. https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/squier/paranormal-series/squier-paranormal-rascal-bass-hh-sherwood-green https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/squier/paranormal-series/squier-paranormal-rascal-bass-hh-metallic-black @Baloney Balderdash they're 9.5" radius.

I sometimes think about calling my Mustang "Sally" and then I decide that's a silly idea...

Don't suppose it was a silver Korg Toneworks pedal? One of our guitarists uses a multi when his back is playing up (otherwise he has a pedalboard that is heavier than some amps, but that's for another thread!). He recently replaced it with a Valeton GP200 (the red one is cheaper at £265 on Amazon at the moment). It was a real step up in sound quality. You could probably find one second hand in budget and pass it on for the same if it doesn't suit you.

When I got a flight case made up for my Mustang, I traced it onto some wallpaper liner and posted it to them.

It isn't that Apple gear is necessarily better at audio, it's just easier to make an app for iOS. There are only a handful of devices with similar hardware you need to support and Apple do everything they can to make it work nicely between their products to enhance the user experience and lock people into their ecosystem. When developing for Android, there are how many different manufacturers with how many different models with different hardware combinations? Plus custom stuff put on top of the android base OS. I think Google have tried to make it easier over the years, but it is generally harder. Also, Apple users are more likely to pay for an app. That might mean it's easier to attract better talent to make them because there's more incentive to work in that field.

Other than ones I was part of from the get go, I joined all of my bands by answering or posting ads on Gumtree. I found it to be much better than the other solutions. Plus it's free. My location might help though. There is always something going on in Bristol!

When I got my GX-100, I similarly set up patches that sounded great in isolation through headphones but turned to mush with the band. Shortly after, we happened to have a couple of practices called off where it was too late to cancel the room, so I spent some time dialing it in with my rig at gig volume. That really helped. I ended up with a LOT more high end content in my signal than I had expected, but it really works in context. If you can, I'd really recommend taking that approach while also keeping in mind the available sonic space.

We're trying to get an EP together before we get gigs. I would much prefer to try to get gigs with a room recording for now while we work on the EP.

Could also just take out the preamp, wire in a tone control and put in two "producer knobs" that aren't connected to anything?

Forgot to say, they don't have it listed, but if you email, they'll be able to invoice you for it through Paypal.

I bought a kit from FretNation in the USA to change my volume to a stacked Volume/Tone control. Works in active or passive mode. It was just a couple of wires to solder and I had to enlarge the hole a bit to get the stacked pot in, but I'm really happy with the result. In hindsight, I could have just bought a stacked pot, but I knew that it would come with the matching knobs, so went this route.

How are they in use? They look like they'd be hard to get an adequate grip on.

I've got a 201B on my Squier Jag and it's started to get a bit of tail lift after being on there for about 10 years. I've not heard anyone else have that issue, so it might just be a one off.

Me too!

So I've picked an example flight from British airways. The seat for the cello would have been £703. The additional fees didn't apply.

I can't help with the case decision, but I've flown to Japan with a cello in a Hiscox case with a booked seat. The guitarist and I flew direct with Virgin and most of the gear, while the rest took a cheaper flight with a change. It worked really well. They all knew about it at the gate and on the plane. They even had a seatbelt extender ready to go round it as soon as I sat down. I only felt a bit bad for the person sat in front of it as they couldn't recline their seat! I also remember I had to call up to make the booking as you don't (didn't?) pay tax for it. There wasn't an option to do it online, but that was 2010. Things may have moved on.

Ah, that's barely misaligned though. I'd wager that's a worn router template on the pickup. Just adds to the vintage vibe, like the router lump on a Tele's neck pocket 😜
