  1. To me ostinato goes on forever, I mean something like a pattern that repeats for the verse, bridge or chorus. They say things like 'add another bar before the last verse'...
  2. You do enjoy the last word. This is not life and death like the Covid thread...
  3. The nominal UK voltage is 240 and the nominal European voltage is 220, but the tolerances are such that both can nominally be claimed to be 230. In practice UK can be as higher than 250 or more, and Europe lower than 210. This should have no impact on anything with a switch mode PSU, but unregulated transformer powered output stages may be noticeably less powerful in Europe as are kettles snd heaters. Certainly these differences should not affect functionality.
  4. Having looked at this in sickening detail, digital calipers use two etched capacitative scales of different pitches that function in the same way as an etched vernier scale.
  5. Only a temporary fix ....
  6. I am not sure of the formal term for a short repeating section of music several bars long (I'd call it a section or a repeat) but two people in the band call this a 'bar' which winds me up. Plus transposing songs by a semitone.
  7. It has become a PITA, because you can hide it but it just reappears after a while. After a certain amount of exposure the nag effect makes me less likely to have one of my occasional visits to 'the other place'.
  8. While I pretty much agree with everything he says I do find that Trace Elliot preshape has its place, and not just for happy slappy.
  9. Oi! Lemmy! No!
  10. Can anyone explain how jazz bass body thickness depends on date?
  11. Well mine gets weekly trips out. The damage was due to falling off a chair, which could damage most cabs... the light weight partly mitigates the potential for damage, but I'm still waiting for a replacement corner. My approach is gig it until it dies. Worst case, make a replacement cab with same dimensions out of ply and move the hardware over.
  12. It is a bit fragile, mine has a damaged corner and one foot came loose.
  13. MM5 is sold out, I've messaged them...
  14. NSU. Opportunities for some fun improv.
  15. Obvs shoegazers...
  16. Burn the heretic 🔥 😉
  17. Close, It's a nicely matured MIK Tokai.
  18. Should have said, awesome craftsmanship as always.
  19. Is it feasible to bleach it or use hydrogen peroxide to lighten it?
  20. Don't use the surround, fit the pickup in a hole in the scratchplate.
  21. £109 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  22. @Bassfinger Sorry for the long weight (!) It's 9lbs, so no lightweight, but not ridiculously heavy either… so some of the 'extra weight' was possibly due to a few weeks between rehearsals? For comparison, Embassy comes out at 7.5lbs and feels light. Not sure how accurate my scales are, I'm using the weight myself and pick up bass method.
  23. Got back yesterday to find a very soggy amazon package by the front door. Lekato strap seems well made andceven comes with a selection of plectrums and four black(!) Grolsch style strap washers. Edit.. and a a very comfy strap it is too.
  24. Would mean the end of custom colours 😞
