Just made it! This comp is all about firsts for me. Some months ago it was my first "public" drumming, first song I've done for 35 odd years, first singing solo for public consumption, and now first playing with loops, although I've only had this afternoon to tinker on my new Zoom R24, and I did go to the pub at lunchtime... (hic!) The great thing about this challenge, for me, is that it makes me do stuff and learn stuff that I would normally keep putting off. https://soundcloud.com/julian-moss-511168525/levitate

I should have started earlier than 4.30 today. Add that to the fact I'm trying to use my R24 in anger for the first time, and trying to learn how to do loops(also a first) and do something in an unfamiliar genre, I may have bitten off more than I can chew... Needless to say, the end result will reflect the minutes I've spent on it! Time for dinner now. Will really try to get some thing up before curfew.

Is your middle name "The" ?

Nah, their 210 doesn't have a tweeter

I can't see why a d.I box should eat batteries. There's not going to be a huge amount more in there than an on-board bass preamp. You do know it can be phantom powered from the mixer?

I put the Luminlay in my fretless and they work fine. I seem to have lost the blue led mini torch, but find the torch light on my phone does the same job. Failing that, the leds on a Genz-Benz Shuttle do the same.

Riot note is just fine!

Anyone thought of locking cams yet? : http://www.google.co.uk/patents/US4574678

Use a traditional open-style jack socket instead? It may be possible to angle the tip connection away from the PCB.

If it's a fine cut is it to give you the option of fitting a zero fret where the nut would normally go? Just a thought...

Is there much sound difference between the 2 coils when they're that close together? did OLP just do it to maintain the look of the full-fat 'Ray?

https://ritter-instruments.com/R8-concept.php Some lovely ideas here, gives a really clean look from the front.

What are the three controls supposed to do on a single pickup? Volume,tone and blend between single and dual coil?

A Squier Bronco that I bought on behalf of a friend who didn't do eBay. £67. It was just so effortless to play I could barely put it down, and didn't want to pass it on to its new owner!

I've got a Warwick one and it's pretty heavy. The protection is good, but it has too much extra storage that I don't really need, but can't be zipped off.

I've never noticed any difference in sound or sustain using a shim of card, on either basses or guitars.

I'd try squirting contact cleaner into any gap available, including down the moving part of the switch, then working the switch a lot. The contacts have probably oxidized due to it always being in the on position. Even working it a lot without contact cleaner may well do it. Best of luck.

You could take the battery off and check continuity between the positive terminal and ground when the jack is plugged in. That would tell you if it's the socket that's grounding the battery.

Didn't Gibson lose the case against PRS over their single cut? Or was the appeal repealed?

Can't you get them to chip in with some shaker, Guiro or cleave action?

I did notice that the Les Paul wasn't mentioned in the list of designs in the quoted article. That shape must represent more of the output of copies than the rest put together by a long chalk.

Budget? Roland Bass Cube 30 are decent at home volume for not too much, especially 2nd hand.

Are they battery powered? I've recently had 2 different (non-music related) battery powered gizmos that stopped working due to small amounts of corrosion on the battery terminals.

If it's not getting hot after a couple of hours, maybe putting a soft pillow over it might do the trick. Obviously, I wouldn't recommend that if it were generating any noticeable heat
