But I am thinking a raspberry pi micro to do pitch to midi for an output

Im guessing not the drums and I would imagine there were multiple tracks and effects put on afterwards (although it has echo)

Just as a follow up, I complained to G4M that it didn't have a UK power supply or adapter, and they sent me a new genuine boss PSA power supply for it

I just noticed. Thats a problem then

The electrics are fine - the pickups are delano humbuckers in a J style case and east pre. I love the electronics, but you can hear the strap moving through the output, so I guess they are just too rigidly held or undamped or something. Not much room to get any other type of pickup in though

I certainly didn't, or would have shown much interest, even as a lover of theramins, but somehow, I had to sign up for this: https://stylophone.com/theremin-pre-order/

One of my youtube videos of my previous band got blocked once by the publishers of the human leagues music. Which was a bit of a slight as it was actually teenage kicks.

I would love it if they still had the white jazz, or even the black P, but luckily the swimming pool green and turdburst finishes keep me safe!

Yes. I gig with a similar 5G mono one, to avoid the 2.4 spectrum but never had a problem with these and they were really cheap

Ibanez SR1605 In common with almost all SRs, it has the slanted jack which is great if you have a straight jack, but a real pain with wireless or right angles. Also the bass body is a bit light so with the standard gotohs it is head heavy. Fixed with ultralight tuners Ibanez 5005 The weight of a small sun, a real pain for a 3 hour gig, and as a result I haven't used it in a while Bongo 5 Headstock hits every wall within 1km. The knobs are very easily turned by the gig bag, so before playing I have to check they are all in the right place or I might not have a speaker cone when I play Maruszczyk l24 elwood As standard the screws were made of cheese. Have replaced them. The stock bridge pickup is not great, but I know that was a choice. Ibanez AGB205 Good acoustically, but plugged in so bassy and lacking sparkle even with new strings Spector Euro 5 Pretty heavy. Ibanez EHB1505 The locking jack (mine doesn't any more). The knobs were cheap on an expensive guitar. The body is really soft and mine got dented easily Shuker uberhorn The pickups are quite microphonic. Doesn't usually matter, but meant I couldn't use the backbeat with it because too much feedback. I probably should get it looked at Squier Mustang CV When I first got it the pickup was microphonic, had to widen the hole in the pickguard to stop that. Ibanez TMB35 Electronics were as cheap as anything, so much so the tone control lead came off. The bridge pickup is a waste of time, very noisy and unshielded. Very head heavy Ibanez SR1000 Pots go scratchy almost immediately and are next to impossible to replace Hohner B2V Mostly dull and lifeless. A bit irritating as I had a 4 string one that wasn't, but it was lacking a string, so I got the 5 string one and it is basically not as good. Both suffered from what is described up there though, can never get the right fret on the neck when starting. Chapman Stick Railboard Heavy, hard to position in your lap for playing without bloodloss, a bit restrictive when standing. Requires a better brain for playing well than mine.

I have the lekato system which I use with the chapman stick and it works for me. I don't have a problem with latency but some people seem to have more problems with it than me

The relative positioning thing with the hohner B2 (I have one as well) is that if you go to play what you think is the 3rd fret it is actually the 5th, and seems unique to this instrument. The thunderbird has a long neck which you have to reach for more, but you never make that mistake with it.

Probably why my euro 5 has two strap buttons!

Thats just Stephen Fry with a side parting

Oh I certainly would, but that isn't hypocrisy in any way, I also wouldn't want to go and see me play live!

Yes, I would try to sort it out myself if it was out of warranty, but it doesn't make any sense to do it while it is. Turns out we don't have too many gigs at the start of the year anyway, so hopefully will survive without it. And I do have some Zoom pedals I can dig out, just the key effects that are the tricky bit.

Yes, today, I will just send it to them and they will send it to Mod in germany, so I guess I won't see it for a while

Does look interesting. Will keep an eye on that, will see how the repair of my dwarf goes, although at the moment I don't feel positive, and maybe I will have a look myself.

Not sure but you can get nordstrand pickups for it I believe.

I would have avoided that anyway - I saw Rod Stewart on Graham Norton a few months back and it was embarassingly bad, I mean, i was never a fan of Rod - I never thought he was a good singer, but that was something very bad by his standards.

This is true - but there were a few metal bands around here for a bit before lockdown.

Ah ok, I don't watch X Factor, or any of those talent sort of shows so I didn't know

Was very surprised at that - I wondered why he was coming on, I don't remember him ever singing before

Agreed that considering the amount of tv dedicated to music, this seems over indulgent, its a show that was past its prime a few decades ago. Obviously you are not going to like everything that is on a show, but the forumula seems just very tired, mainstream act, fringe act, new music act, old 'legend' that jools is going to play piano with. There have been some amazing performances, but they seem few and far between, and it is much more a recording and watching later so you can skip through 80% of the music. As my wife says to me when he is on 'oh is that joolz holland, ok, I am off to bed'. Thing is - I think Jools hollands band is great, and he does some good stuff himself, just think the TV show is past its prime. As the meme says..

I had 2 alto 212s for a while, but lacked a bit in a few places. Got a cheap 12" sub which worked well outside, didn't bother inside. Eventually got fed up with a bit of a lack of clarity on the vocals, picked up a single RCF Evox 8 which made the vocals really clear, so now gig with that and one of the 212s. A bit random but mostly works
