    So every shipment has to clear customs with associated fees? Given that the UK is big enough to support more than a couple of big online players I think they will struggle to be competitive.

    On Gransnet they will be staring threads like ''How to get him to take up golf''.

    There's no compression unless you wind it on with the SMX series.

    People have put oscilloscopes on them and found the rating matches exactly, and not a lot more with added distortion.

    Who is that joker?

    Automotive analogies nearly always fail miserably. Power equals Torque x RPM. Trace solid state watts give and give. There can't be much of any 'duty cycle' applied to the rated output. After the heat lost is taken from the wall draw rating it's all going out the speaker lead!

    Looks like broken glue joint though.

    Sounds like you have it under control!

    Trumpets and Tubas would prevail.

    USB keyboard lamp for my pedalboard.

    Kermit the Frog in various states of amazement.

    It used to bug me when people put up sound samples and the one they called Clean was definitely overdriven. I subsequently got into effected bass and for rock music I quite like a little always on jùs that goes into overdrive when I dig in. It more than bugs me when fools make pedals that can't switch clean(ish) to dirty without an accompanying massive volume boost. Then some even bigger fool buys it and posts up a review of his fantastic MOAR sound but neglects to mention the volume hijinks. That really rips my shorts.

    Dude gets off his flight at some African holiday beach resort. He hears drums, lots of drums, pulsing gently in the distance, and he knows he is in Africa. He gets to his hotel to check in and again, drums, cool bananas. By the pool with a cocktail, you guessed it, drums and more drums. Dinner is accompanied by drums. Back at the bar, no letup. Come bedtime and our tourist can't get to sleep for the incessant beats from the jungle. He goes down stairs to complain to the concierge and see if they can quit it for the night. ''Sir, drums are good! Very good Sir! When drums stop very bad. Never want drums to stop!" ''Why the heck not, I can't sleep!" ''Sir when drums stop, then we get the bass solo''.

    Just checking in on the NZ version of The Masked Singer. Holy cow the auto tune is helping out. Judges wowed. Meh.

    Lack of incentive to get it right in the first place.

    Certainly. Your concluding paragraph on stadium gigs endorsed correction as a means of giving the paying audience better value.
  17. Downunderwonder
    The bit I quoted was accepting of big gigs using the tech but in the next breath pilloried the solo artist for needing to practice to make auto correct unnecessary.

    What's the difference between a stadium act selling their best performance and a fool on a stool doing the same?

    Maybe you never played with a really hot pure rhythm guitarist. I have only played with one and he was VERY noticeable while just another member of the rhythm section. It's spoiled me for life as I may never find another like him.

    Subjective is putting it mildly when Fender label their instruments Precisely no matter how they Jazz them up with badarsed bridges and active preamps.

    Must be something in that because if everyone heard it like me he would have sold one record to his Momma.

    I only dislike it when I hear it being used for effect. The rest of the time I am probably not hearing it at all. They were talking about it on National Radio the other day. The recording studio guy said it is used a lot.

    Seasoned woods you would use for necks are much of a muchness for modulus of elasticity ( stiffness relative to section ). That leaves the length of the neck and its profile to define stiffness. Length is fixed leaving width and thickness. Funny thing is I expect a thicker wider neck to be more resistant to damping thanks to its greater stiffness.

    Hooboy, the great underpowering myth surfaces at BC. One backlined gig I did I almost turned around to go get my own gear. Ancient Trace Commando 100w 12'' combo appeared to be in good condition. It had just enough poke with a bit of bass in the monitor on the far side of the stage iirc. The kid band on first had other ideas. Horrible distorted mess for their whole set. Not enough power to blow up the speaker so I got to play through it and it was fine. If I had brought in my 250w Trace and 210 it would have been end of days for the 210, from too much power.

    The 'seated position' refers to maintaining the strap so where the bass is sitting relative to your torso when you are seated is the same when standing. It gives the most natural fretting hand position. I like that for playing but it plays hell with my plucking wrist being all cocked around for three hours straight.
