    Last night saw our own @RaymondoaRaymondoand Cisco support the Achievers. Brilliant night a good time was had by all.

    Isaac Newton would have loved to see a modern light show with dichroic afilters and narrowband LEDs. You csn see a proof of his work on the composition of light right there!

    Set up is a big variable. I wonder how many 'weak' pickups were set too low, or badly balanced odd sounding basses had pickups too high?

    PC&TBS are awesome. I've seen them do their own set three times. Unfortunately the Merthyr gig sold out in two days!

    Just a thought, but fingerstyle players seem to wander further from the bridge than pick players. Or is it my imagination?

    I found a well mixed CD of my brother's old AC/DC tribute playing life in 2007. It's rather good, I'd rather hear this than Live at River Plate... shame I never saw them!

    'Precision' is not a specific model, it's no more than a sub-brand used by Fender. Unlike Jaguar and Mustang, for example, it uses it solely for basses. As something of a failed taxonomist, the consistent features of a Precision are few and far between: Bass guitar, made or licenced by Fender under the labels Fender or Squier. Bears the word 'Precision' in its name. Has a non-offset body shape. Standard layout with a traditional Fender-shaped headstock, four tuners on the one side (a fifth on the bottom is optional) and a single bridge unit. Just about everything else varies, sometimes almost everything else is different from the original ('51) or classic style.

    Hard not to love everything they do, although that's a bit less diverse than most of their songs.

    Hardly 'went on' as ELO were formed five years before Funky Moped... plus ELO came from The Move, a very successful band.
  11. Stub Mandrel
    The padded cover is enough to cope with that.

    I had the simple straight line but height adjustable bridge on my acoustic guitar replaced. The luthier fitted a bone bridge filed for intonation. To my surprise the intonation is spot on at the 12th fret.

    Well... 'full' consumption is 880w which is 10% more than 800w which is consistent with 800w rms from class D. Peak values rely on instantaneous voltage peaks and are "powered" by stored rnergy in the PSU capacitors. Only useful to indicate headroom available for brief transients, so maybe useful for slappers at a push.

    Yes, both would be tricky anyway as the poles drop down.

    Too late now but what about india ink?

    Two sessions without it and my carpal tunnel symptoms get set off.

    Car crash. People losing their way all over the place. Audience loved it, we had a painful but honest sit down afterwards.

    Today...
  21. Stub Mandrel
    Well done!

    Lolz I was there last night for Snatch it Back. Was one place I had in mind. 😎
  23. Stub Mandrel
    Thats fair enough. Its bands with endless excuses not to gig rather than being up front about it.
  24. Stub Mandrel
    I've got Wilkinson nickels on a bass I made around an unfinished body and HB neck, I was impressed by the quality.

    Perhaps if it was Bash Bas De Gymru, it would overcome objections from those in the north and marches? The question really is who is somewhere betwen Carmarthen and Bristol wo would be intersted in something happening in the middle? The Midlands BB, if it happens, is likely to be near Redditch so those in the marches have that. One thought is that an event in Cardiff could possibly happen in a club with a stage allowing us to have some informal jamming and maybe even a bar and a gig afterwards for those who want it.
