I agree it would be nice to have more current music of all genres on the telly. I'm trying to imagine what the retro channels on tv will be showing from the last 2 decades in 20 or 30 years time. Just Glasto highlights? no thanks.

Very calming. Nice!

Don't Bartolini pickups have blade magnets? Not sure how this information will help though

Quite a '70s look to them. Would look great alongside a Bang and Olufsen music centre.

Not digging the funk? Your Bootsy shades suggest otherwise...

That's a relief! I find it hard telling dreams from reality these days

I think it might be the case with these pickups that it is the hook up wires are soldered to the coils with an aggressive flux that corrodes after many years. This could make it a simpler repair (hence cheaper), but I may have just dreamt all this up, I really can't remember where I got that nugget of info from.

Well done Lurkio. Mid-table mediocrity for me once again!

Probably Idles.

Yeah, more of a character voice than an in tune one. Never thought much of them anyway.

Touch of Zappa about that- nice.

I think the tune you're thinking of was "I don't believe in a thing called God"

Great solution to weighty problem!

That would make a cracking advert for Fixadent, or somesuch.

You're most welcome. Everyone in this area uses Tim, but he's clearly a go-to man for many labels getting their back catalogue remastered, and for folks making their material sound the best for i-Tunes releases and YouTube.

Voted! Bit thin on the ground this month, maybe I should have entered both my tunes after all

What about things for Mrs RLP though

I'm minded to pull my first entry, 'Nothing', out of the voting, for possible rule violation, and it does seem a bit greedy having 2 entries in one month. So, just Gardening on MoonBassAlpha from me, unless re-entry is demanded by popular consent. No, I thought not!

Tim Turan https://www.turanaudio.co.uk has a very good reputation as an independent mastering house. I've not used him, but the pro client list speaks for itself.

Never mind the pictures, how does it sound?

Very impressive work @Twincam. Nice one!

Oh yeah, the other Hofner oddity is that the tone controls operate in the opposite sense to everyone else's, 10 is treble rolled off, 0 is wide open. Those crazy Germans!

The little Ashdown ctm15 does this too, it's quite noticeable when playing quietly. I attach my d.I. box to the speaker output, and you don't really hear the hum through the balanced output to the recording interface. The speaker attaches to the d.i. parallel output, but at only 15 watts it would be easy enough to hook up a power resistor as a dummy load for recording.

Ha! Coincidentally, my band Charms Against the Evil Eye has a song called Dark Matter, but it's more than 10 years old, so I definitely won't be adding that one to my entries this month!
