As a buyer I won't use Reverb any more, their complaint handling was chaotic and ineffective. Given how seamless other selling sites are, and how well most protect the buyer ahead of the seller, the idea that half way through a complaint raised on their website they required me to start again via email because they had no way of my sending them a sound file of the problem - it's a site specialising in musical instruments FFS - and then requiring me to start the whole process again was reminiscent of the 1990s 😡 On the above basis probably a good place to sell however ..... 🤔

My therapist is yet to resolve it 🤔

Deceptive, it's a classically chunky baseball bat of a neck with 41mm nut 👍

There's been a whole lot of experimentation with Fender-alike bitsas recently, the Bitsa Box is now oversubscribed - two having to slum it in another box at present - and due a clearout. Keep your eyes open on the FS thread folks 👍

Pictures say all that needs to be said, it's taken me a while to get here, but I suspect that of all the fretless Precisions I've owned (P, PJ, PP, PM) and all of the board materials I've used with them - rosewood, ebony, maple, graphite - this is by a long way the sweetest. Classic Vibe body, PUP, and circuit (the PUP as I'd been told would be the case, is very very good indeed), paired with a stunning Warmoth neck. First rehearsal tonight

The drum sound is the excuse not the reason, even bassists will recognise that when they’re pissed of with their guitarist every note sounds out of tune and too loud 🤔

You move in illustrious circles Steve 👍

Yep, I think when a rock singer stops a song live on stage to moan about the drummer being too load it's long past the time to hang up the mic and find a decent sitcom that'll have to (sounds like he'd make a decent Victor Meldrew?). And re Daltrey not being the main writer, when you listen to Townshend's demos for the early 70's stuff - specifically Quadrophenia and Who's Next - you can't escape the sense that in many of those great songs Townshend's vocals are at least the equal of Daltrey's also....

Indeed ..and do you think when he described Daktry as their main songwriter he was being a little devious....?

f*** me you couldn't make this sort of shit up..... He's been with them 29 f***ing years, for context that's twice as long as Moon was. And yes, as above, if the sound's shit you don't fire the drummist (unless the drummist deliberately went Boom Boom Boom because he wants to be fired so that he can pick up the Oasis gigs this summer of course......)

Seems reasonable given Moon was known for his underplaying 👍

Brilliant

I imagine the truth is that he started trying to have a say in things, been the downfall of many a non-original member, no matter how talented or long-standing

Very sad 😕

He’s the Talented Mr Ripley of guitar, no taste, no creativity, no morals, just a talent for mimicry

I’ve seen worse, I could do that but I would do an average job and probably never play it, it needs better than me 👍

You Sir, are among friends, and are eminently qualified for membership of this forum 👍

Which makes a lot of sense 👍

EMG use something similar, allowing PUPS to plug into circuits. In relation to soldering etc I have no problem with the circuit/loom end of things, where I have had issue in the past is where the solder joint on the PUP itself has worked its way loose (or has been poorly manufactured, which for whatever reason I have found to be especially problematic on Precision PUPS), and the EMG approach seems to be a pretty decent way around this. Funnily enough John @KiOgon I think I owe you a PM on this subject that we had started discussing before the PM system fell apart a month or so back, I was going to ask whether you would be able to modify some PUPs for me to enable me to make them more anatomically similar to the EMGs, I'll check and get back to you (I need a couple of new circuits also) 👍

Only if the P stood for passive stingray. Close (ish) but not that close 🤔
