Could you slide a couple of old socks over the arms?

Sorry!  I thought this might be a thread about parliament.  As you were.

Order! Order!

Is this the look you're aiming for?

 

Talking Heads look a bit rubbish these days

Watched a bit of "Mick Fleetwood and Friends " last night. Did anyone notice the bit where he had trouble with the autocue? He really doesn't have much luck with them, does he? 😄

I've just seen this and would also like to offer my condolences, Matthew.

I just use a little metal bar to play my triangle, not a pick.

The LT25 amp has a built in tuner and if it is anything like he guitar version of the amp, it will be pretty good, so a tuner might be moot. A hard case or really good gigbag would be a good choice, as well as a comfortable strap.

Did anyone else notice Rod eyeing up the backing singer?

They are made in Donegal, Ireland. Pricey, but good quality from what I understand. All carbon fibre guitars. KDH did a video about them. 

The only thing I ever bought was a gig bag. No problems with ordering or delivery.

When my guitar amp died a few months ago, i tried playing through my Fender Rumble 25. I'm only a bedroom player, but i soon went and bought an LT25. I really didn't like the sound through the bass amp.

There are a couple of things that you need to get right every time. 

 

1. Bed levelling. This gives you the foundations of the print. Get this wrong anf your print won't stay put and you're wasting your time. I used a sheet of 80g paper. Not a business card or a thing too thick. The nozzle should just catch on the paper. Not jam the paper, just catch it. also this needs to be across the whole bed or at least the area you are printing. 

 

2. First temp layer. Do a temperature tower. Download a temperature tower for PLA and print it to work out the correct temp. I assume you use PLA as your first filament as that's easiest. Ignore PETG and other filaments for the moment. 

 

3. Clean the bed with isopropyl alcohol. Is the neo a magnetic mat? Or a glass bed? 

 

If these don't work post pics of what the output looks like.

Cheers. I managed to get the bed level (it's glass - carborundum I think the spec calls it) and when I got the z-axis offset correct, it printed well.

We got my daughter a Creality Ender-3 Neo for Christmas. We had no idea if she would like it, but she didn't know what she wanted for Christmas, so we went with this. She looked a bit befuddled when she opened it and gave an "oh cool", but didn't look that interested. We got round to setting up last night and were excited just by the fact that it turned on. This afternoon I had a go at levelling the bed and we tried printing one of the test files that came with it. It started well and we could see it starting to lay a level down, but soon noticed that the first layer or two were lifting. I thought that they paper I had used for levelling the bed might have been too thick, so tried a thinner sheet, but that didn't make any difference. I realized that the z-axis offset was too high (I don't really know anything about 3d printing, but from the little that I've read, this seemed to be the issue.), so adjusted it a little and tried again. Third time was a charm and it started printing a little boat. We tried again with the other file and after a couple of hours had a little rabbit. Once she saw the printer in action, she started getting really excited about it and has been looking up things to print. It'll take a while to get to grips with everything and eventually we'll look at how to create our own designs to print them.

How else would I pick my nose? I can't use a plectrum.

Considering the overall state of it, I don't think it would worry me.

Marketing doesn’t work in such a linear fashion, but it does work, or why would they pay for it?

 

Christmas Ads are all about brand building and shifting the perception of the brand among customers.

The reason you go into Lidl and don’t turn your nose up at it is the brand building Lidl has done in the UK which has been very impressive. This has helped them ride through scandals (the chicken one, for example) with little

impact.

 

I genuine despise the way that advertising in this country is considered art and somehow part of our culture, but I can’t deny it’s effective. 

 

Some adverts are rather artistic. Ones like the Ridley Scott Hovis advert, the Dunlop tyre adverts (with Venus in Furs) or the some of the Guinness ones are classics in their own right. People remember them for the style, whereas they remember ones like the Shake'n'Vac ads for their cheesiness and catchy jingles.

I wonder is it better than the Aeroband guitar? 

Bienvenue Charlie!

You could get a couple of the JustinGuitar books. He has a website and YouTube channel with hundreds of videos to go with them.

People who were born at the turn of the Millennium will be getting married now, so they will want to hear the songs they grew up with, a lot of which will be stuff from the last decade.

I went to see them in about '94 & they were pretty good as I recall (yikes - 29 years ago 😲).

 

haven't tried the other type, although it would probably be cheaper.

I saw them live at about the same time. They're from Larne, about 20 miles up the road from me, so i don't know why I haven't seen them more often.

Have you considered therapy? (and i don't mean the band)
