I will be 🙂

Only one pole piece per string = more space!

The pairs of pole pieces are only about 5mm apart. There's no way to fit two full precision coils into a 5mm gap.

My reel to reel is in the loft. I wonder if it would work if I cleaned it up. Only been up there about 45 years...

It's more sophisticated than that. Letter and word spacing are increased up to a limit, beyond which longer words are hyphenated.

Alarm set early. Hope to be there a little before 10. Basses - check Amps - check Cab - check FX - check Raffle prizes - check Cable protector - check Custom picks - check :-)

Ideal for sitting in the lounge while a guitard uses a Blackstar Fly or other small guitar amp.

Never found that, audiences always seem to appreciate the chance to show appreciation for the individuals.

You have to put your ear up to the grill to hear a very faint hiss even with the gain and bolume right up.

It's not loud, it doesn't overdrive. It is effectively silent. It does an awesome job of clean tones. The secret is a passive radiator at the back, like my Philips W00X speakers. Will run off a powerbank. Compressor sounds great for funk when dialed up. Tone controls all sensible and usable. Will run off a high power power bank via usb c. Has BT and will record via usb c OTG as well. It also looks the business. Excellent home practice amp.

I've got a B2, the output is really hot from the stock pickups .

I lied... they are only £2.62 each and I have two. Photo exaggerated as you'd expect, but worked well considering it was a pub with the lights on.

Great gig at Ye Olde Butchers Arms with the Fortunate Sons. Got compliments from the band and audience members on my £10 Temu lighting rig 🤣 Really great sound with loads of low down thump. Did have a minor crisis when the hi-hat unscrewed itself ...

I've got prime 😁

I hope to be bringing an example of the new 30W Joyo combo!

Amazon say I will get one tomorrow, in white 🙂 I hope to be able to bring it to teh South West Bass Bash, where it will no doubt be tested to within a microwatt of its life.

With my other bands one agrees a setlist in advance, forensically honing it to 'perfection', and follow it to the letter. Another, we agree a setlist, but change it depending on the audience and what they react best to. The other, we have a setlist but it's largely just a vague guide. They all work in their way.

Rush had some awesome albums. Guilty secret... my favourite Rush song is Working Man.

Last nightwe got together and spent two hours watching the 49-minute video of the originals band's first gig and critiquing everything from the lighting, what we wore, where we stood to what we played right and wrong and how we can tighten up dome of the arrangements. We agreed we meed a 'script' (more of a set of prompts) for the brief between-song bits to develop a more structured narrative. We also need to split the role of narrator and weapon-wielding clown... It's turning into a crash course in writing, producing and performing a musical!

Saw Roachford at the Globe last year. Wasn't sure what to expect but he was excellent.

Why the hell would Geddy and Alex give a flying f*** about anyone's 'concerns'? They have nothing to prove, and unsurprisingly have a desire to perform the music they created. They've found a drummer who appears to have no problems with the level of technical ability required. It's going to be entirely down to individuals whether they go to the gigs or not. Betdt of luck to them. If tickets are reasonably priced, I may go along, I haven't seen Rush since May 1983.

The 40 is a tenner more than the 60 🙂 Hope your wander makes you feel greater.

Done for one batch of four. Thanks.
