How much better can they be than the tried & tested likes of La Bella etc? Are the silks made from unicorn manes?

My Maryszczyk Jake, factory PMM. All-passive, Vol / Vol / Tone. Nice and simple, well balanced, sounds immense. If anything happened to it, I’d get another.

...is their hearing shot, by any chance?

We already know it’s a fake.

^^^ Ah… late 70s. That’s why I’ve never really noticed them.

I’m confident the guard is legit. The tuners, though.. I don’t recall seeing those gaps at the bottom of the plate before..?

It’s fair to say you’re easily entertained 😀

I welcome any AI that can crunch millions of numbers and free up time for more important stuff, or advance healthcare. However, when it comes to the arts & creative, be under no illusion - AI isn’t being pushed for the good of humanity. it’s being pushed because it’ll make rich people richer. It can’t create anything new, and all it’s doing is diluting the gene pool with sludge.

My God, I hate AI with a firey passion.

Really? Wow.

Gigging in a pub? Soundcheck 'till you're happy. Gigging in a ticketed venue? Be done and dusted before they let people in. ...IMO, of course.

Thread from the dead! Playing the Fool has just been reissued. Completely remixed from the ground up, with all the missing songs. I got the 2xCD / 5.1 Blu Ray version, and it's ridiculously good. Gawd bless Ray Shulman. What a player.

Response plot in the case of the Handbox R-400.

Handbox R-400. Flat response when the EQ is at noon. Beautifully organic.

My common-or-garden 2015 US Standard, which I picked up from FB marketplace about 6 months ago. It has its fair share of dings, but you know what? It's absolutely great. Fit & finish is incredible, feels amazing, sounds amazing. These things are a lot of bass for the money.

Another Eagles tribute show in Hexham, Northumberland. Nice to have a monitor after persevering with IEMs at the last gig. Old school, but.. I prefer it. Also used my new Jazz for a bit. It's lovely, but I’m not sure stacked knobs - or white - is for me. We'll see. Next stop... Rotherham!

I kinda should like them, and I've tried for years, but for some reason I just find the drums really jarring. They never seem to sit right. That said, I absolutely adore Slàinte Mhath and bits of Brave.

Or a Geordie Showaddywaddy covers band… Wadeeswhowaddywaddy

Well that’s an absolute Bobby Dazzler. That guard! Nice one.

Not any more...!

I think you mean 'triplicate post'..?

Yeah, I agree. As ever, the pickguard is the Achilles heel, but I can live with it.

I hope so!
