There's a far eastern possibly Buddhist lesson that goes something like A scorpion is on a journey and comes to a river. There's a cow on the river bank so the scorpion sidles up and begs a ride across. The cow is a bit reluctant but agrees and transports the scorpion across. The scorpion stings the cow a lethal sting as he hops off. The cow plaintively enquires 'what the duck?'. Scorpion shrugs 'I am a scorpion, that's what we do'.

I would be resigned to the fact that it's all out of my hands and the dealer's hands until the wheels grind on at USPS. I hope it is fully insured so the dealer isn't out of pocket when ordering up the replacement. If you ordered from the dealer he's on the hook to provide or refund you I reckon.

When I lived in the UK I had yet to set foot in Australia. ''Wot, you never been to Australia!??" ''Yeah, ever been to Russia?''. Same distance, not like popping over to Paris for lunch.

The fail is you. Don't you know gittish is a foriegn language?

Garage Rock is dead. Long live Cottage Rock.

It's a very flimsy film so you wouldn't want it anyway. I once bought a near new Jazz that the original owner hadn't removed it. At first I was horrified that he had replaced the original scratchplate with a graphic guide loaded one! Off it came. Iirc the only thing holding it down was ''static suction'', or at least no adhesive to see.

My set lists have Extras at the bottom. Sometimes we play some, or all of them, depending on what happens. If we have taken a bow it's not often we will play more after that.

Not what you are looking for but should give you what you need, Trace Elliot TransitB. Clean blend distortion with dual band compressors on the mix.

It only works if you remember to work it. No different to remembering to unplug it.

As an alternative to potential trip hazard or nipple ring tearing out I suggest the following amendment. Get in the habit of saying ''I am putting down the bass, I don't want to Downunder my nipple, I mean run down my battery'' and unplug.

Yerp.

Get your left nipple pierced. Attach clip from lead to nipple. Always remember to unplug before setting down bass!

Wow, I hankered to do some composing a few years ago but Sibelius was OTT expensive for a dabble. Notion looks great value.

Be very careful with substitute screws that they aren't too long. If they go through to the amp guts beyond the captive nut it's all over sometimes.

I used to eat straps until I got onto straplocks.

Yep. See the Rane tech note.

It has one end with the XLR 'mic' end wired up unbalanced and the other is standard TS 1/4". Agedhorse will fill you in or you can look up the Rane note for unbalanced XLR.

It's a real gamble that it doesn't sound lousy with mismatched cabinets. Try before you buy.

Some people get it. Some people don't. Happy collision.

The reason for the simple lead insertion = on system is it is the most reliable for the most people. A separate switch is prone to be forgotten and the bass put away in the case to be found dead on next use. Those are the choices until you go for complicated electronics which would increase the cost. Tough luck Buttercup! Of the potential practical solutions I like the reminder loop of string around your leg from the lead plug. The first time you forget to toggle off your custom foot switch TRS lead combo you'll know I am right.

Noodle with another bass? Get in the habit of unplugging it to put it down? Rewire the preamp power supply to a new switch? I think if you are going to forget to unplug you are going to forget to toggle off a foot switch. Velcro your good self to the lead when you plug it in so you can't forget?

What is the second amp supposed to be feeding in this scheme if the Stubby is still on the 110 cabs?

Look into it well before you show up at the border!

That will be for an inspection to look for dope and antiquities and little girls. You would have already paid Greek VAT on anything you bought in the EU. Depending on how long you have been away I would think there would be less duty and VAT involved in importing your personal stuff into the UK. It used to be 2 years for a car into NZ at cost.

I had a look and I can't find them. Must need the proper name for it. Folding foldup fold up spring stand, no combination working for me.
