  1. Bear in mind that a lot of those comments will come from AI bots, not real people.
  2. Well, should we be booked by this pub, we'll update you all on whether we're welcomed into the premises by an android or a real person...
  3. We're driving back from Thwaites right now! Update to follow once we get back home to a proper keyboard.
  4. We're gigging the whole day with the Dynamites on 27th, Paul! Aston Clinton Beer Festival in the afternoon, and The Golden Bell pub in Leighton Buzzard in the evening. Have a great one and hopefully we'll catch you another time. Are you doing Richmond riverside this year?
  5. The unsupported section of the fingerboard is what is curving upwards. I think that's also the part that's slightly twisted, no the neck itself.
  6. You're more likely to get a targeted answer from the PA systems forum - I'm moving this thread there. 👍
  7. You will soon get monopod, mini-tripod and clamp GAS - it's just a matter of time!
  8. I use neoprene camera lens pouches for my Zoom Q2n 4ks. The smallest size fits it perfectly, they are soft and reasonably shock-proof and cost only a few quid each (or at least rhey used to). Of course they offer no space for extra batteries or cables, but on the other hand they take up almost as little space as the device itself.
  9. Let this post of mine be the last that mentions politics in this thread, please. I was born in a country that has imposed caps to most rents for decades and has very tenant-friendly laws. Result: dire shortage of properties to let. The only letting activity that people are happy with is AirBnB. Why should a landlord let out a property if they can barely pay the mortgage with the maximum rent they are allowed to ask for? While at the same time throwing out non-paying tenants is almost impossible because the law defends them as opposed to the landlord? I certainly won't keep my parents' property and let it out once they're gone - that would be madness. I'll sell it straight away. So I wouldn't blame the Tories or indeed any other party for what happens in this country. In places like London, regardless of politics, one of the problems appears to be the marketing of all new properties under construction to wealthy overseas buyers even before those properties are made available to (usually slightly less wealthy) locals. And then many of those properties are bought as an investment and left unoccupied. Another problem is the lack of affordable housing - developers of new builds appear to use a very flexible definition of "affordable" and, even when a percentage of the new properties is described as affordable, what it boils down to is that some of the new flats in the build are simply less outrageously expensive than others, but still far from affordable to the majority of those who need them. There is no easy solution.
  10. This topic has come up before. My opinion is, ditch the GoPro, it's not optimised for recording gigs, the results are usually dreadful. Get several Q2n 4Ks, and place them all around the band and/or on them! Mix the audio from the different sources and the results will be good. Even better if you can invest in a wireless PA that can record either its stereo output or each band member's channel individually. Check the PA section if you're curious. Definitely have a look at these threads:
  11. We think it was a Lull. I also think we still do have it, only probably hanging and being used.
  12. That was before they were all lovingly cleaned by me, obvs.
  13. Beat me to it, @Smanth! That's what made me pick up a bass, albeit some 30 years after the song's release. This, and all the other suggestions on this thread make up and absolutely awesome playlist! 👍
  14. Instagram doesn't allow me to download the images and study them properly, so it's really hard to see exactly what he's got there. He might be using two metal E strings, one tuned to low B and the other normally to E, and the remaining strings might be silver slaps or similar. Are you allowed to DM him? You might be able to ask him directly.
