  1. On previous occastions it's been held the day before the Kempton Park guitar show (Sun 26th October this year).
  2. On the 5-string debate, years ago I used to have a set of Dewtron bass pedals which I used to take me down to a C when I ran out of notes on my 4-string. Now I've got some 5-strings but I still gravitate back to my Ric 4-strings. I did try a Ric 5-string (the triangle pickup one)(curious they did the pickups but then changed the neck position markers to dots), but the neck was much wider.
  3. I've settled on 40-60-80-100. FYI, I also had a V2 bridge fitted to one of my Rics; it completely eliminates tail-lift, but the action wouldn't go low enough so I reverted back to the original V1.
  4. I wouldn’t put 45’s onto a Ric.
  5. What gauge strings? HW will typically have used real Ric bridges, unless told otherwise; now that they are discontinued, it'll probably be Allparts. Some like the Hipshot bridges, but I've found an apt location for one of mine (and that's an Allparts on the Hondo, which now has strings and screws in the Treble pickup). ...
  6. Mid-cut on the amp. If you want to sound like Geddy Lee, push the Treble Tone knob in (Modern). If you want to sound like Chris Squire, pull the Treble Tone knob out (Vintage). A touch of distortion is good. If you want to lose the pickup Vol controls interaction, go for Rick-O-Sound and run them competely separate. A low enough action to get a touch of fret buzz helps too.
  7. My fretless (Licensed Mighty Mite neck).
  8. The problem is when someone who doesn't know gets it, maybe someone isn't as honest or they shuffle off this mortal coil and the estate gets sold.
  9. Only 6 strings - pah!
  10. Joking aside, all are welcome, beginners to pros, no snootiness. Picks, fingers, thumbs, tappers, 4/5/6/8/10/12 (or even 1!) strings are ok.
  11. Less of the "we" there - the Limelight fans can be quite militant though!
  12. There's a list going in t'other thread! 🙂
  13. #1 - Paul @NancyJohnson #2 - Paul #2 @prowla
  14. I don't associate him with playing a Stingray.
  15. It's clickbait - the person posts junk to get folks attention.
  16. I could smell it a mile away! 🙂
  17. Not even bothering to click - guessing it's Cologne?
  18. What a shame - I missed it! 🙂
  19. Some interesting clunkers there!
  20. Nah - you need a second one! 🙂
  21. Apologies - I previously conflated them as "remasters/remixes", but missed the 2nd part in my statement. 🙂 But yes, it would take a remix to, as you say. I think remasters give an opportunity to use better equipment to create the final product, maybe with less effects & adjustments in the (ahem) mix to get in the way of what comes out of the speakers. I've also picked up a few HD-audio tracks; they can be a (ahem) mixed bag too. FYI, I'm just in the process of auditioning a cable to connect my pre-amp to my power-amp; it's quite interesting. I'm not sure at what point someone changes from being an audiophile to being an audiophool, but if you can hear it then it doesn't matter whether someone else can't (or won't).
