I’m very impressed with mine, I even did a bit of iPad recording with it for a collaboration project. However, I had to use my Rob Allen (which has a very hot output) to get a decent line level and some proper low end. This has now spurred me on to order a proper USB recording interface (arrives today) but the ‘cake will remain as a practise tool because of it’s simplicity and silent operation. All this means I’ll reckon I’ll definitely be moving on my Phil Jones Cub once we can move around freely again. Much kudos to @krispn for bringing this to our attention in the first place 👏👏👏.

Very, very nice and IMO this is certainly deserving of being at home in the build diaries forum.

🤢 Man, that is nasty! Fingers crossed for a good heal.

Oh my 😮😍!

From ‘Maybe I Should’ve Stayed In Bed’, another very well written, laugh out loud read; thoroughly recommended.

😮😍🤤

He’s not been well as I understand it, so he’s behind with his correspondence. 😁 Our post times vary here anyway, so it’s not been any different. Lady Ez had a text from Parcelforce stating a specific delivery time the other day, but I wasn’t surprised when it was a fair bit later (I’ve had these texts only to have the item delivered much earlier). My thanks and admiration goes out to all posties, bin men, etc for maintaining some sort of normality and doing their jobs whilst I sit around and surf all day. 🙏👏👏👏

What’s going on here? They just can’t use my user name like that! Especially as mine was first and in no way is supposed to be pronounced ee-zee. Expect to hear from my lawyer. 😡

Ooh, that’s gonna be nice and punchy.

The guy who taught me my first chords and probably inspired me to actually play guitar in the first place had an Eko Ranger 6, I thought it was the most amazing thing ever and lusted after one for years.

Nice!

Finally got the entire thing to load without crashing. Usual suspects of course and with 100 you'd expect them to pick up most folks' favourites. The order of course is a question of preference, but I'd have thought messrs Levin, Sklar and Babbitt would be higher up the pecking order.

First published in 2017, why write something new when you can rehash stuff from 3 years ago?

Ooh, I missed this earlier, colour me interested. However, as @Teebs points out... Although, worthless seems harsh. 😁

It is and I’ve used it for some recording onto my iPad with not terrible results.

I’ve just been listening to CD1 of Peter Gabriel’s Secret World live, whilst mowing the lawn. Tony Levin’s tone, both on the NS EUB and MM 5 string, is thunderous and fantastic.

The cage is open but the beast is asleep.

Now that bridge is an improvement. I never really had an issue with the old one, a pain to set, but once done, no real dramas. However, the new one looks the biz. Who says the Hall dynasty don’t listen? 5 stringers, new bridges, what’ll be next?

Hmm, I realised I posted incorrectly earlier, now edited.

Tele and Gretsch singlecut hollowbody. EDIT: Note to self, read the previous posts correctly! My weapon of choice would be the above, if cash allowed. My actual weapons are: Squier Telecaster (very customised, only the neck, tuners, and p/g remain). Epiphone Casino Coupé with added Bigsby. Epiphone EJ200c Simon & Patrick Rosewood Pro

Seconded, sorry to hear you've been in the wars @Happy Jack. I hope you're well on the mend and that @Silvia Bluejay is OK.

Ah, at last, bass playing. Lee tells a great anecdote but his jokes (or at least his telling of them) is not so hot. Sussudio is a proper workout when you’ve had 4 days off!

BOOM!
