Some people get upset when those they feel have less talent but greater success than themselves get praised.

Opinions vary. I think that the band were trying to distance themselves from the commercialised smush like Baby I Love You.

They aren't real ones, just dirt cheap copies: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-6-in-line-Nickel-Tuning-Pegs-Vintage-Style-FD-Guitar-Machine-Heads-6R-Tuners/181056246223?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I had a nearly all black 80s Squier Indonesian Tele with really crap tuners, I fitted cheap black Gotoh copies for a slight improvement. Now I'm pimping it with a vintage look (mint green pickguard, vintage bridge, through body strings). I can't see how the cheap tuners can possibly be any worse than the Squier ones and will probably match the black ones.

This, but substitute 'millions' worldwide...

Fu$k the haters! Rock'n'Roll Radio is an utter classic (and the bassline uses all four strings!!) And Rockaway Beach. CNot at all influenced by the fact I spent about six years of my life known as Joey due to a certain resemblance...

Maybe it's mostly London. I've bought half a dozen things off eBay by second class post. ebay saying delivery may take up to a month, all arrived as quickly or quicker than normal. Greatly appreciate the PO and other delivery services keeping things moving ATM. Ordered some vintage machine heads from China a few days ago - that one will be interesting.

I'd be very surprised if it didn't. Are youi buying in teh UK? Distance selling regs mean you can return if they don't.

I'm a big fan of Joyo. The XVI poly octaver is outstanding.

I concur, a set of glass weighing scales gently tapped against the base of the loo as I slid it between loo and wash basin. It instantly transformed into granules, no injury.

While I wouldn't judge sound or playability from a photo, I think it's fair to criticise appearance on the basis of, well, appearance...

You can play two notes into a non-polyphonic octaver and two notes come out but that doesn't make it polyphonic...

That's how I understand it!

If it did that I would send it back with the comment that it isn't polyphonic... Yes, but tracking and latency aren't the same thing. As I said it avoids latency by using original signal, but it still has to track and process each note separately.

But it isn't. If you play one note, then another overlapping it applies a separate effect to each note. I know it blends the unprocessed signal in to reduce perception of latency, but it is truly polyphonic, applying different processing to each note so it must be splitting the signal? If they are not synthesising each signal from scratch but actually splitting and processing each not individually is actually more demanding as they have to determine pitch AND capture a waveform for each note.

How does the polyphonic bit work if it doesn't track?

I love this album:

There's a Richard Thompson concert on tomorrow, we're invited: https://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/events/2020/royal-albert-home-richard-thompson/

Problem is they cut your fingertips off...

Pimped my Tele...

Tokai SG Ibanez AS53 semi-acoustic pimped with getsch/DiMarzio pups in gold covers, scratchplate (and ex-gibson small knob Kluson tuners and Gibson knobs added after this pic). Squire Tele, with dimarzio stacked bridge pup, Gotoh-like tuners soon to get new pickguard, 3-bar bridge and through-body stringing. Kay 2-T,my first electric. Strange thing made with a neck out of a skip, cheap Floyd rose copy bridge, generic humbuckers and now a heap strat type body.

Surely that's a plus...?

They ain't loud but I love the sound of my Flea Jazz with vintage '64 pups... Even through y little Orange Crus 20W combo I can get some lovely sounds, recently discovered 'We Care a Lot' 🙂

To be fair I think they are just screw holes. I notice its has 'plate was lost' written on what I thought was the end of the neck, but looking closely the grain shows it's a through neck.

My daughter went through the Andy Ballsack thing at about the same age ...

It nibbles away at efficiency, its good practice to plug leaks.
