  1. I love my Comfort Strapp. I wouldn't use anything else.
  2. I doubt it will cause any issues. We run our whole band from one socket. The only issue might be the fuse, but LED lights hardly draw any power. I was thinking of doing something similar myself. I carry some quick release clamps and often stick a couple of lights on the PA cabs. It would be handy to have a board to fit on top with a mini T bar. I'd probably fix a 4-way extension on the board with a short trailing IEC socket and a strain relief clamp
  3. A Nord Stage 2 keyboard. They seem to be a very popular choice amongst the "turns" on tv. The thought of piano, electric piano, Hammond and synth noises on tap is very appealing, even though I don't play keyboards much. I'm just struggling to justify spending £1500 or so on a second hand one Any non-bass gear you're GASing for?
  4. I saw him but wasn't really listening as I was busy doing the dinner
  5. Does the middle position sound different to the neck position? If so it's probably a dodgy switch, if not it could be the bridge pickup
  6. These are no longer in business afaik
  7. I only ever use a Comfort Strapp. They are wide and made of neoprene and elastic. Not as colourful as yours though
  8. Ask @Andyjr1515. You could always stagger them to avoid cross talk. Might look good with a 3+1+2 configuration
  9. A set of individual coils like Andy linked, then a switch to toggle the G string between the bass and treble output?
  10. A couple of these? https://www.blackdogmusic.co.uk/product/three-string-3-pole-cigar-box-guitar-pickup/ They seem fairly cheap to have a play with. Alternatively you could try to find a custom pickup maker to do a dual-coil treble/bass split pickup to fit a P90 route - which would probably be a more costly route. @Andyjr1515 had some individual coils made a while ago for a bass build. I'm sure a 3+3 split can't be impossible to make
  11. I went with the family on Wednesday night (to avoid the darned Halloween trick or treaters). A very enjoyable film we all thought. They kept it light, a celebration of Queen - there is a lot of potential for a much darker and gritty portrayal of Mercury's life that I'm glad they resisted temptation and glossed over. Of course it's mainly about Freddie, as he was the one with a personality I thought Malek did a good job. It's tough to emulate Freddie, especially with prosthetic teeth (yes, he did look like he had a couple of Werthers originals tucked in his cheeks). I'd have liked a little more from the 70s as it seemed a bit of a rush to Live Aid. However the couple of hours or so flew by, some good humorous moments, and the film left enough of an impression that we spent the following evening watching Queen videos on YouTube
  12. Have I accidentally joined TB?
  13. +1 a drummer I know well has one of these and swears by it. He plays some pretty big gigs too What drummer wouldn't want to feel the power of his kick drum projected into his @rse?
  14. I use micromesh. Similar stuff. I bought a pack of pads. It's not cheap but can be re-used many times if you don't let it clog
  15. B@rstad! I'm not buying his new long player
  16. I wonder. Has John Deacon ever been in a Wetherspoons?
  17. How many times have I read this thread title as: Mods...don't some sound weird?? Discordant? I don't think I've heard one speak "in the flesh" Bless them all
  18. On jazz pickups, yes definitely.
  19. I dropped a set of quarter pounders straight in my Indonesian P-Bass Special. I can't offer any advice on the scratchplate though
  20. Or indeed a rapid series of on/off switches as used in digitised sound
  21. Cyberpunk illuminated gauge
  22. The pickups would have a much lower resistance and would affect your measurements if still connected. The only way to measure the pots accurately is in isolation
  23. You would probably need to disconnect any wires to get an accurate reading, and it will be between the two outer lugs. It doesn't matter which test lead goes to which lug for measuring resistance. Adjust your meter range until you get a sensible reading (probably on the 100k or 1M setting) - you won't damage anything on a passive circuit While you're at it, should be quite easy to work out if the pots are linear or logarithmic. Having measured the resistance between the outer lugs, measure between an outer lug and the middle and twiddle the knob until the meter reads half the full resistance. If the knob is about centred it's linear. If the knob is nearly full on or off it's logarithmic
  24. This ^^^. Do whatever you like that fits the music, but lock in with the drummer
