Is this where the "q" amongst us go to the loo?

If the cover is made from wood or plastic then it won't be magnetic. 

Not exactly what I was getting at. If you were going to attach magnets to the cover anyway,  it would "stick" to steel screws mounted flush with the body. My point is do you really need magnets on both bits? Why not magnets one side, magnetizable material on the other?

@Dad3353?

I find all the routing on the XR18 very confusing!

Does one really need a magnet on both parts, body and cover?

^ tasty!

It's a large value for a tone cap too.

How bad is the issue?

Sounds like the pickups are out of phase with each other

Not entirely relevant but I always thought it a "ban worthy" phrase... If anyone remembers the old musicians wanted ads in the Melody Maker, a popular ( and absurd) one was   "No Breadheads" !   I cringe even now..

Or the modified "no Hovis heads" I saw on at least one occasion 

I'm surprised this hasn't cropped up on Watchdog

Remind you of something?

It looks great, ebony is my all time favourite board, I specified it when I had my Sandberg made 

Couldn't agree more. My Sei bass was the first I had, and I got an Eggle guitar with one,  and it feels great under the fingers, especially on guitar. It's one of those subliminal things that makes playing just that bit nicer. The fact it looks cool is just a bonus.

The fingerboard is black? 

Ebony. It was a factory short run version. That's mainly why I went for it.

Here she is with another Sister Noir

Loving the binding on these. Very classy. 

Poplar burl looks great on those Mensinger Cazpar basses. Looking forward to this one in particular. 

I'd say if you're starting into recording a kit, having a hole  makes it a lot easier to adjust and tune your damping inside the drum. My old kit didn't even have a resonant head,  and I got perfectly usable recordings like that with the mic sitting inside on a folded piece of carpet against the head.

Ruth Goller!

Yes, nice mix! Love the percussion recording. Bass sounds great too. The only thing I'm not keen on is the guitar tone, but that's just personal taste.

Is anyone running Tapewounds on their shortscale?
How are you finding them?

Si

That's on my "must try" list too!

Been a while bump, get your stealth on, folks!
