  1. Played another one last night - second day in a row, new pub for us, it was originally booked when we were going to merge with another group as we were losing our guitarist and they were losing bass and drums, but it didn't happen, so we thought we had it, and it turned out it was theres. A bit of a conversation and their guitarist had hurt his foot and was more than happy to not do it. I see why now, it was upstairs which involved going up an outdoor metal staircase! It was weird, it looked like a fancy eating pub downstairs, but upstairs was this 70s social club vibe with bowling alley and mini bar. thought well, noone is going to come up here, but turns out they do in large numbers. Downside of the evening is that at the end of yesterdays gig, I thought my XVive IEM had run out of battery as it died, but I put it on at the start of this, and unless the tx and rx were touching, there was no function - looks like they are dead Also, the drummer met someone in the town where we did the gig last night and said they were coming to see us tonight, turned out on the facebook poster, although I put the right date, it said saturday! oops. Still, it was busy anyway. After all the gig was heaving and pretty good. Second half a lot of numbers were quick, I guess the drummer had a bus to catch, but it went well and they seemed to like us, and on unloading, it was now raining so the metal staircase outside was wet, that was fun! Oh and there were a group of 4 drunk guys arguing in front of the door that I had to ask to move a about 4 times and then had to shove them out of the way, until the drummer walked into them with the drum frame, then they moved!
  2. Great night. We hadn't played at that pub for many years. Easy setup parked outside, quick setup. Got started but the sound was a bit weird. Had to turn the bass down to half the level of last week, and turn the PA up full, and still the little alto speaker wasn't even showing hte clip light, so not sure what the issue there was. Still, got a good sound in the end and there was much dancing and singing. There were a couple dancing on a table which looks like it was going to give, but somehow it seemed to survive!
  3. I am missing one on my green spector, but just one, seems a waste posting (although probably also a waste buying!). I assume these are the screws for the old spectors, not like the bolts for the new spectors with brass inserts?
  4. yep, that's the one I meant, like this one on the right
  5. The SR1000s of the time had a curved body
  6. Just answering the question - obviously what you want is up to you, I generally would go for not drilling more holes if you can!
  7. How big a circuit do you need, and what tonal quality do you want. That would be using a preamp as a buffer, which means you get the sound of your pickups without loading by everything else. You don't get the signal 'bigger', you get the signal low impedance so you don't get noise or the effects of loading.
  8. umm.. what is the difference between that and the original? The book folds are slightly bigger. Frankly apart from it saying epiphone I don't see much of a difference
  9. PM'd you about it. They do all come from one person, but not here.
  10. Depends on the instrument - in some cases it is worse than not having it
  11. Wow, I didn't know Jennifer Lopez even used the hyperdrive!
  12. Because that is where you plug it in, it makes logical sense, turn it on when you have set it up. Why do you want the switch on the front, do you need to turn it off while you are gigging?
  13. No! I want the power button on the back next to the power socket - always. Ashdown, yes to a tuner but more so, not white on baby blue background, lettering you have some hope of reading!
  14. Yes, I had a HB jazz, and the output of that was fine (pretty similar to the Geddy Lee Jazz I had). If it wasn't for the weight I would still have it, it played very well and sounded good live.
  15. so somewhere between 440 and 510
  16. So what convinces you that other peoples concern over the nut width is in their heads, but your concern over neck shape or scale length isn't?
  17. Click on the triple dot at the top right of your first post, select 'edit', click on the title and add the word SOLD at the end (or TRADED or WITHDRAWN) and it will do it
  18. THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS!!
  19. SR300s are good, solid basses. They work very well for the price. i am not a huge fan of the pickups in them but the playability is pretty much the same of any of the standard SR ranges.
  20. If only I didn't have a 'view edit history' button eh?
  21. Noone so far is in the 200s.. you sure you read the rules?
  22. Can't help feeling @fiatcoupe432 that you might have missed a page or so 292 (from spiders)
  23. I would rather not (and isn't his name Ye these days?). But I don't have a problem with people with lyrics so not an issue for me. In a previous band the singer used to mess up the words to everything, I wish he had lyrics.
  24. Yes, that is why meat loaf never got anywhere
  25. Dolly Parton did at Glastonbury. I think the general rule is that if Dolly can do it, everyone can.
