  1. Indeed - where are the apostrophe police when you actually need them!
  2. I did a search - if I search for "feedback for miles'tone" I get nothing, as I suspect the ' character is "Use this word (tone). However, if I search for feedback for miles tone I get it straight away
  3. It isn't - the best way was for me to write something which modified the HTML output of the main page to provide the clue to the adverising framework, but that was quite a bit of work, I have quite a lot on that pays money, and I was too lazy to write it. But technically I am not sure what the technical difference between writing the HTML output and using a cookie is? why is one bad and one ok? They have the same zero output ouside the site. I am guessing the google analytics stuff and maybe security for the invision license
  4. I would add here, about cookies, I have never understood the problem with cookies for site specific cookies - I mean there isn't a shopping site or general internet site that would work without them, while agreeing wholeheartedly about internet wide cookies for advertising. I am not a fan of those but I know the site has to get money somehow, I know there are people saying I am happy to contribute more, but there was a banner for months and it didn't happen really. But I don't know anything about the finances. The only cookie that I know anything about in this change is a cookie from a plugin on this site, which tells the ezoic gateway whether you are a member or not, to ensure that they don't get adverts on the page. Yes, there could be a different way of doing that but I was too busy to rewrite pages, so it was an easier way that others could get on with stuff. if you look in your cookies, you will see it as the one starting ips4_ezoic.... You can remove it, and then you get adverts, which I assume people also want to block. There do seem to be a load of ezoic cookies, whcih I haven't seen before and obviously something to do with their advert system. I am not sure why they have to exist if you are a supporting member, but I haven't really dealt with much of this stuff. Then there are a load of forum ones that the site doesn't work without - the ones that say what view you are in, what your last page was, what your session is (so you can log in) and preferences for push notifications and the little orange flags up the top that say about new posts and loads more - obviously there are more of those than anything else. There are also a bunch of what are probably google and other search type ones. None of that has changed, just the ezoic ones So when people say they can't deal with cookies, I assume they mean the new ezoic ones? Clearly if those things are very bad and you can't cope with them, then that has to come down to your choice
  5. Dont' forget it is the same on GC.
  6. It isnt - it is the way the advert suppliers do it though. The cookie is to say not to provide adverts as now the site is going through their gateway. I doubt it - It is in french on one of my machines and english on the other. That has always been the way on the site issues forum, but not on any others, as this is designed for a question / answer type layout. This hasn't changed at all. It is designed to push the most popular answer (ie, the one most people thought answered the question) to the top.
  7. Mine turned up today. So it sat from the 19th Aug to yesterday after landing on the plane doing nothing, then yesterday in a flurry of activity it went from arrrived to my door today. And its great, weighs a lot, wife unimpressed, but otherwise it is spot on!
  8. Normal barts in normal ibanezes are standard sizes, but the 805 is different. I know nordstrand do some for it. When I had mine they had just come out and were expensive, but I suspect there are more people doing them now. That was eventually why I moved my 805 on, but this was a long time ago.
  9. I don't play metal but that is my problem with the licensed parts, to me I could never get any life out of them, they aren't like the genuine barts or the Nords in that regard.
  10. Video not available - was it this one?
  11. There isn't a way, but you can edit it to say sorted.
  12. Not bass that I know of, although there is a very good guitar teacher for young kids. However, can look for bass teacher - I would suspect that the guys at Yeovil Guitars will know the people
  13. Too young? Absolutely not, the younger the better.
  14. My 2605 was very bright, bordering on a little harsh. Lovely bass though, but in the end too similar to my 1605 to keep both
  15. I think the jack socket is an ideal socket for a guitar, almost what it is designed for, the ease of plugging / unplugging. It certainly isn't something you would pick for a speaker
  16. Looks like a 2600
  17. Still tune quicker than some guitarists I know!
  18. By default (if I search, I am not sure there is a configuration for this), the option is to search this topic (ie, basses for sale) but the drop down menu on the right lets you change that to the entire site, the forum you are in (bass guitars for sale), this topic (xxx for sale £100), status updates, titles of topics etc
  19. Mine went on a plane on the 18th august!
  20. Very good, but fairly heavy, well mine is
  21. In a forum, yes, not a section - so if you wanted to find fender jazz in for sale, you go to bass guitars for sale and do a search there
  22. Yeh, mine obviously took a different route to yours - it spent the same time in customs, but since leaving china seems to have gone silent!
  23. No, they are paid for because they are historic items, like £120k for a titanic menu or £260k for ghandis glasses - they clearly weren't any better than all other ones but they are related to history. Clearly all those artists you mentioned sold those guitars, while carrying on playing, and they have all appeared playing other guitars and sounded exactly the same. Some guitars you gell with, some you don't, and it doesn't mean it is a bad guitar or anything, I have a guitar that I love that I got because someone else hated, its personal. While there are objectively bad guitars, good guitars are more subjective And in test after test, top level concert violinists have failed to pick out the stradivarius over other top level violins, even up to the level you would get if you picked one at random. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25371-pro-violinists-fail-to-spot-stradivarius-in-blind-test/ But we are human, we get impressed with things we think we should be impressed with!
  24. Sounds good, seems like everything is connected, and if the cones look good, all should be fine
