If your amps ground wasn't connected (and I have had several that weren't) and it accidently became live, if your ground is connected on the guitar then the strings would be connected to live. If they weren't, even in that situation, you woudn't be harmed. Unlikely to happen as much these days as we have sealed plugs* but I see no possible safety issue on a guitar not be grounded, just a noise one. I have seen two amps that I have looked at that had miswired plugs. Almost noone checks when buying an amp or power supply the plug wiring to check it is ok.

I still wouldn't be a fan

Dont you think you missed someone there? 1. Rich - Trace Elliot TE-1200 amp, Barefaced Super 12T cab, earplugs , Shuker custom 5, other stuff TBC. 2. Woody - Rickenbacker 4004-L5, maybe Sei Flamboyant, Same old basschat 12" with some amp, other stuff TBC 3. Pinball (tbc) - Got some interesting basses 4. Stubsy - Joyo BadASS, GRBASS AT212 slim - only 50W but that should give 120dB at one metre 😇. (or I bring my TE 1110 combo). Some fun pedals. Perhaps the AVII 1960 precision, the Sire P10 and maybe the Fender Performer and something unexpected... 5. Sean - Mesa 400+, Laney Nexus Tube 400 , MJW Taranis 200 (Matamp clone with extra channel and EQ), 2 x BF TWO10, Spector TBD, Valenti #005 Super P, Yamaha BB2024x, plus a mini walk-in bass surgery if interested

I would be absolutely shocked if there was any regulation that governed it. There is no safety issue (and an argument the other way), its just to get rid of noise, and I think that would be a hard one to regulate as then several genres would be illegal

Got one of the Thomann safecases in the end, very impressed with it. Long enough for the bongo, the bag is great, the space for everything is good, separate iPad section, separate lead holder etc

I find it easy to just play each of the five strings separately, which halves the weight!

They are pretty thumpy

It would, but obviously we are looking to fix this. email addresses can be changed

I can't imagine a scenario where the inland revenue would look at those listings and says 'that isn't trade'. To me it looks like a shop and they are much more agressive with their assessments.

Is it? It isn't on any of mine!

The bass in general, so if you EQ the bass to get the sound that is acceptable to the crowd, it doesn't matter if it is a P bass or a boutique bass or a rick or whatever. The actual bass makes little difference.

Yes, they do, if you make more than £2000, which I suspect he has.

Same here, plenty of hard cases in the loft in case I want to sell anything, but I wouldn't want to use one when gigging.

Well, that is confusing as I have a 1605 that is the original one and it is 16.5mm. I guess the w means wide or something

No, nothing to do with that, there is a blacklist. Although you are on gmail which isn't blacklisted, so I would check your junk folder actually on the gmail website - I originally had nothing in my email but then went to the website and checked junk and found a message there which I said was not junk and had messages after that

What is there apart from materials?

I was asked to do mixing for a band with an analogue mixer - it is a lot harder to go back to that way!

I would imagine that that has the bass and treble boosted. if you turn the treble down and muffle it a bit it would be a bit more traditional

I have some 4" straps that spread the load nicely. Ultimately though you still have to carry that weight, so this just stops it cutting in.

No, I think this is the server block it is on

yes, but that doesn't mean much if your IP block has a blacklist.

Yes, sorry - I have tried lots of things but unfortunately the ip address of basschat is on a ip block that is blocked by outlook (and related people) for reasons they won't tell me, and they won't unblock it because it doesn't qualify, so we are going to have to pay extra for an external mail supplier.
