Within bounds yes, there is the feeling of a job well done, and obviously perfect is the enemy of good, but sometimes, good would be a step up

Bugs me too, quite a lot, but we don't aim for perfection because frankly, we would never get there.

You know that the fender neck codes don't contain the day don't you? it would just say June 68, the 15 is the jaguar model neck code from 66 on - (would be 1 before that), like 5 would be P bass and 7 would be jazz bass. So it could be 2 weeks closer to your DOB (or further away!)

I never found spread to be that wide an effect that I would want to modulate it while playing tbh - I would tend to put it on filter cutoff / blend or a->b algorithm sweep. I just got a B Stock Cobalt 5, and have been spending time with that (few knobs downside, upside much less table!).

its 10k if you want one that hasn't been signed by sting!

Expression can be assigned to anything, so if you just select EXPR in the modulation options you can then touch any control to assign it to there. Although obviously a large number of those options wouldn't be terribly useful but its nice to have the option.

But he isn't here as a company rep talking about the products, in general he is here as someone talking about amps and amp design in many threads with some valuable insight. Obviously if people start talking about the amps that the company he works for he is going to talk about that too, but that doesn't make him a company rep. Really? There is nothing at all condescending in that that I can see, it appears to be a statement of fact. Like people drive round in Range Rovers and go on about them, and I don't get it, so the only valid answer to that is that maybe they aren't for me, which doesn't make them idiots, it just means it is not my thing. Some people spend thousands on a fender P bass, when you can get one for a couple of hundred, I have tried both and the only valid answer to that is maybe they aren't for me. Just because something offends you, doesn't mean it is offensive.

The 'no returns' thing on eBay means just no returns in case you change your mind. If there is something wrong, or it is not advertised properly (or there are additional fees) then you can return anyway.

Honestly I would be ok doing more miles if we had more gigs - its been really quiet this year, but mostly because the singer and guitarist have had holidays on alternate weekends. I think i might put a post on our local music group to see if anyone wants a dep.

There weren't any 5 strings back then so it would be a bit pointless.

Oh in that case, no, there is no point in him. So buyer beware.

Only 1 in 10 of our gigs would be further than 15 minutes. 1 in 40 would be almost an hour. Don't think I have ever done a gig more than an hour and a half away. We are purely local!

Never heard anyone do mansons cover of that. My last group did tainted love, the original version, whcih I think beats all the others. On the other hand, I doubt there are few who would disagree that Hard Corps Back in Black is clearly better than the original

My all gold stingray 5 came in a shade under 4k. But no option to pick a bongo!

Well, yes, that is what his pay is for - you are buying it without the delays or any customs issues etc, because he has taken on that, so you are buying something local, he is getting the money for that, pretty well like any shop. However, considering the amount of instrument he has there, he will easily go past the £1000 profit PA threshold where eBay then inform HMRC quite quickly

THere is no before packing up gear. I start doing that, the drummer starts packing up his, the guitarist stands round watching, and the singer goes off to chat to people. Then eventually the singer comes back and puts the PAs in the bags and helps carry stuff to the car, around the guitarist who is still watching stuff. Then I drive home and unload everyhign into our outbuilding. Then I have a cup of tea and either watch some telly or read the internet to calm down.

And with a more than non zero selection of guitarists I have worked with, also a difference with those two and what they are tuned to!

I don't really see an issue with that. Anyone can take the risk of buying from the original supplier, waiting for the delivery and chasing up any problems that they want. Or they could buy from this guy and if something goes wrong send it back (and yes, I know he says he wont accept returns, but that is his opnion, not a statement of fact!). I have often bought something in the UK from a seller when I know there is the original in aliexpress, but I just don't have a few weeks to waste,

Did you copy in place with the same name or frame as the last picture? Maybe there is something there. Try uploading it as a second post with a different name and see if it does anything different

I don't know, there is no image compression in use on the site, although the images are now on cloudflare, so maybe they have something, unless whatever you were uploading it with has compression .

Thank the gods someone mentioned that - our new keyboard player decided he wanted to play that, and the guitarist joined in. I flat out refused as if I am not being paid by sainsburies I can't believe anyone in a pub ever wants to hear that song again.

What does an app do with the B2-four?

TBH - not sure I would trust them anyway, I had some of the flat audio cables like that and a large proportion of them stopped working

Because it is based on small numbers. A graph like that works well if you are selling a lot of things, current fender P basses etc, but if you are only selling a small number and the value of those things is based on hugely intangible things such as appearance and perceived authenticity, it is fairly useless.

Seems like a silly idea, but I would find it hard to criticise them because it is quite clear in the photo how they fit, so if that wasn't good why did you buy them? I have spent ages looking for plugs that went the right way, and many places don't show photos anywhere near that clear.
