Did you forget The Clash though?

Well, specifically wider Europe then (or whatever EV’s definition of Europe is these days).

None at all. It’s just another way for the world to collectively stick two fingers up to Putin.

Stewblack and the Xtensions? (I made that up 😉)

A bit too late but I just came across this video which is a good comparison. Not much in it although I do prefer the slightly warmer sounding ’63 version.

Is there any noticeable difference between how they feel/play/sound?

Ostinato? https://www.britannica.com/art/ostinato

My wife is guilty of that. Four bank extensions with the cable wrapped tightly around the block of sockets. 👿

People helping out with packing up who proceed to wind cables around their elbow, or worse, their fist.

I have several these options available to me, including the audio interface/DAW route, practice combo with headphone out, Zoom B1-4 and Nu-X Mighty Plug/Vox Amplug etc. For me the Nu-X provides the most convenient and accessible solution with the most features for a good price. I generally leave it plugged into the bass and just turn it on, plug in the headphones and off I go. The others have their benefits but there’s the inevitable messing around with different elements and cables so they’re less immediate to use. All of these suggestions have got me thinking though. Why don’t modern basses or guitars come with the equivalent of something like the Nu-X built in to their circuitry? It doesn’t seem like much of a stretch for an instrument with active electronics to incorporate a headphone driver which could be selected with a toggle switch to send the appropriate level to the output jack. Maybe such a thing already exists? I’m sure someone will enlighten me if it does.

Another couple of threads that cover this subject:

It’s not the end of the world but I wondered if the sign-out option could be moved down a bit to increase the space between it and the mark site read option?

Thanks for posting that NMA clip. IIRC it was one of the few times a band like that played live on TOTP rather than miming. Raw and powerful.

I received an email from Gerry Hayes at Haze Guitars with a link to a pdf he’s produced which contains pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about truss rods (59 pages!) It’s interesting and comprehensive and well worth a read if that’s your thing. https://hazeguitars.com/trussrodsmadeeasy/ You’ll need to provide your email address to access the download but I wouldn’t worry about that because you don’t get bombarded with emails and the few that he does send are genuinely useful.

That’s a much neater job than my previous ham-fisted attempt. 😂 Actually, you’ve just reminded me that my bodge was supposed to be temporary until I fitted a new nut. I have the nut but never got around to fitting it. I must make the effort.

Just bought a couple of bass bits from Kelpie. Exactly as described, reasonably priced, delivered quickly and great comms throughout. A pleasure to deal with. 🙂

Thanks, I actually I did it again for the second time this morning. Fat finger syndrome 😂

This is how it looks on my iPad
