Now I've finished interacting with this is it possible to shoo it away?

I would be interested to hear the answer to this, too. I tried DTFs on my G&L, which has a spilt MFD, a pickup with a very strong personality. I found that the La Bellas were nonetheless the dominant partner in the resultant sound — like the strings were the core of the tone and the MFD just a filter. (A good sound but not what I wanted) So I'm curious to know which takes the upper hand when DTFs are put on a Stingray.

After a quick and breezy conversation on Monday, I bought a couple of sets of Rotosounds from Dan, and they arrived safe and well today 👍

The endless chaos of The White Album suited me very well when I was 14 and 15. Revolver I find too good, too varied for me to actually enjoy listening to it all in one go. I pity anyone whose ears are so jaded that they can't find satisfaction in Rubber Soul. For The Benefit Of Mr Kite is the only good track on Sgt Pepper. Never trust anyone whose favourite album is Abbey Road. John Lennon's performance of Rock & Roll Music forgives him everything and anything. A lot of their songs become more interesting once you forget about the idea that great artists = good people, eg latching onto the mean spirit running through Paperback Writer gives it a lot more depth, having the defiance of I Am The Walrus pointed out unlocked the song for me (tho' knowing Liam Gallagher's rendition of it should have made me realise that already) Going through the collections of early B-sides etc to pick out individual songs is well worth the effort. But despite having all these, and far too many other thoughts, no, the Beatles never had any chance of being my favourite, they're just a constant presence.

That doesn't answer my question of who made that decision, but the fact you skipped on to defending the decision indicates which direction the answer lies in. You've got a singer who is making a success of singing songs he wants to sing, and you're now wondering why he's not delighted that you're trying to oblige him to sing new stuff? Since you don't like the singer or his songs, why not just leave, and find a singer to play with who is more to your taste? You don't seem to doing a good job of manoeuvring this one into becoming what you want.

Who decided this, and when?

What a lovely bit of writing, I enjoyed that very much 😊

NNNNo

I've just completed selling a bass through Bass Direct and again it has been a very pleasant breezy experience, and again I'm very pleased 👍

–37

Didn't do so well myself! 😅 The lb oz / kg listed don't match up, but any rate it looks like a seriously light instrument

What a first reply 🙄 I think I found the original listing on the ACG website for the Retro B - don't think BassDirect have got the electronics quite right in theirs. https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0271-retrob-4/ Listing for what I think is the preamp (edit: see below for correction!) https://www.east-uk.com/product/p-retro/?v=79cba1185463

10 guitars seems a bit excessive

Can you add one number to another? A. Yes B. No C. ⅗

I tried one in a shop recently, very much wanting to like it, but the lack of contouring on the back put me off. I was also disappointed that the overall quality of finish was a proper step down from the TRBX I used to own. Different factories working at different price points I guess. But I love those deep 40mm Yamaha necks, my left hand was very happy. I keep chewing over idea of buying a TRBX204, since it seems that that does have contouring on the back, and pulling out the preamp..... Will return to the shop and try that too.

Yes, one fewer than I would like

423

I've ordered 3 G+Ls: all had 1⅝" as standard; one of them I paid extra to have it 1½". The JB is 1½" and that can't be altered.

Desperately so 😥

On p.1 my 424 needs a "prev:"

Did the band he played in have a particularly insane fanbase?

Has anyone played it yet?

Still, better chipped treacle than three colour sunburst, in any condition.
