  1. If they're operating a business then consumer law overrides any policy restrictions.
  2. You could get a really long strap so the bass hangs down near the pedals; then you'd be OK with the glasses! 🙂
  3. Some other options: Use bigger writing. Get a tablet on a stand and pretend it's controlling an instrument. Investigate autocue.
  4. Regarding specs, maybe ones with a heads-up display could be an option - they might even become a "look"!
  5. I tried some varifocals spectacles and they were awful: the edges of my 32" 4k monitor became curved and I couldn't read things by moving my eyes but instead had to keep them still and move my head to read; I also couldn't use my peripheral vision. I really couldn't recommend them less.. As for contact lenses: I was recommended not to have them for astigmatism, as every time you blink you slightly shift them. I think that varifocal contacts would exacerbate that issue and you'd be looking at the world through a wobbly fish-eyed vision.
  6. Someone buying a used bitsa for £200 can't expect too much, but OTOH they could get a used Squier for similar. If the seller enthuses that they've put a lot into the build, set it up, and so-on, then perhaps the buyer could take them at their word. It's possible that the buyer got GAS and then someone else looked at it and went "hang-on, it's got issues". Given that you mention "customer satisfaction", it is possible that the buyer took you to be a business and is therefore viewing it as a fault with a retail purchase. They might've become disillusioned with the whole thing. I'd be wary of buying Chinese parts and tarting them up, as their quality can be questionable - I've had a couple of howlers. Mostly "yebbuts" from my side, but I do hope it gets sorted satisfactorily for both sides!

    PMT

    I didn't even know there was one in London.
  8. How's things in the USA?

    PMT

    I went to Canterbury a few years back and had a look in the Hobgoblin shop. If I were to go there again I'd give the shop a miss.
  10. Aye - it's a means of saying there is push energy and pull energy going to a speaker; whilst it naturally goes back to its zero position, we want to measure the energy expended on its travels.
  11. This video explains it pretty well: Note that the above gives two examples of a square wave: the initial pictured one is going from 0 to +Vmax, but to match the sine & sawtooths it should go from -Vmax to +Vmax.
  12. Yep - I'd like one of those, to go alongside my Flyte.
  13. My general rules: Never accept or buy vouchers, gift cards, promisory notes, or credit notes from a company. Never book in advance. Never pay for work not done/completed. Never pay remotely for goods/services using an unsecured method (bank transfer, PayPal F&F, etc.).

    PMT

    I can't say it's a surprise regarding PMT; I used to drop in to the Portsmouth one, but never found much of interest there. There were helpful folks on occasion, but othertimes it could be variable. Sorry for the folks losing out, nonetheless.
  15. Years ago I had an argument with someone who said you couldn't turn up a hi-fi amp to full because it would distort. I said that means it's badly designed. I then demonstrated on my hi-fi - no sign of distortion!
  16. Yup - could well be that!
  17. Cor - you could have fun playing bass to that! (I wouldn't learn those bass lines, though.)
