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). ...

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.

My fretless (Licensed Mighty Mite neck).

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.

Only 6 strings - pah!

I use the Dunlop purple ones.

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.

Less of the "we" there - the Limelight fans can be quite militant though!

There's a list going in t'other thread! 🙂

As per messages, I'm in!

I don't associate him with playing a Stingray.

It's clickbait - the person posts junk to get folks attention.

I could smell it a mile away! 🙂

Not even bothering to click - guessing it's Cologne?

What a shame - I missed it! 🙂

Nah - you need a second one! 🙂

A bigger cab?

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). (I'm a member of the Steve Hoffman forums.)

I do wish the Black Sabbath remasters had taken Ozzy a bit back in the mix and brought Bill Ward up a bit; all the recordings I've heard have the mix a bit wrong.

Well, some bands first/earlier recordings are their best, before the "engineers" and "producers" started dicking around. Led Zep 1, Black Sabbath 1, Deep Purple (3rd).

I've got some good remasters & remixes and some not so good. The Beatles Giles Martin ones are really good (though you can tell that Macca was involved and Ringo wasn't!). Steve Wilson does some good stuff, but sometimes he's hampered by whether the originals are available to work from (a couple of albums are missing bits). Rush ones can be variable - one of the albums was deliberately recorded to sound good on cheap radios and the information simply isn't there to get back. I think some of the remixes/remasters were done by people who've lost the upper ranges of their hearing, because they can be like sandpaper on the ears. It's all very much a mixed bag.

I thought they were moving the manufacturing?
