Truth be told, I didn't even realise that the SM58 has a switch!

Yup, not sure it's actually possible to 'switch off' a mic without creating a very nasty pop from the PA. What's the driver for this? Why do you want to be able to switch it off?

Short scale? I think it's a 32", isn't it?

Wild? I was absolutely livid.

I've had the privilege of seeing this up close and personal ... the damage is even more impressive than this photo suggests.

So this turned out to be true. Only not quite in the way you might think. 😂

I tink it's about time this thread was introduced to the phrase "found this in my uncle's loft, don't know anything about basses but I think it's a Fender".

That's it, gone right off the idea after seeing that. 🤣

Just showing you what can be achieved ...

I liked the idea of my Variax bass, but then I picked it up. Serious boat anchor stuff. All the clever electronics are held in an enormous metal box, larger than most FX pedals, which is built into the body, so there's little that can be done to reduce the weight. So I sold it again.

Nowt "potential" about it, Andy! 😂

Mind you, warm tar on the back of the neck would certainly encourage @fleabag to stay near the money notes ...

Get an Uber? 😉

It's the stud-ent model.

Typical! You wait three years and a Global Pendemic, and then one comes along. 🙄

Founder Charles Kaman (1919–2011) developed the first prototypes of the Ovation guitar in 1965–1966. Kaman, an amateur guitarist from an early age, worked on helicopter design as an aerodynamicist at United. Eventually, he founded a helicopter design company, Kaman Aircraft, in 1945. The Kaman Corporation soon diversified, branching into nuclear weapons testing, commercial helicopter flight, development and testing of chemicals, and helicopter bearings production. In the early 1960s, however, financial problems from the failure of their commercial flight division forced them to expand into new markets, such as entertainment and leisure. Charles Kaman, still an avid guitar player, became interested in making guitars. From 1966 to 2007, Ovation guitars, and later on Adamas guitars, were a brand of KMCMusicorp, which itself was a subsidiary of Kaman Aircraft.
