Powering adapters won't cut it for our Studio connectivity. What I'm going to use is a point to point wireless connection. I've had a chat to a company today and for around £400 I can get a P2P system capable of 500m range at 500mb, that included an external ethernet cable to go from my router to the transmitter, the transmitter and receiver as well as a mock router that'll run off the receiver that we can 'hard plug' into and use for wireless connectivity. It's all a bit new to me, but as is the ground screw technique for the sub-frame!

The closest wall of the studio will be around 150ft from the house, the router is at the very front of the house, so an extra 35ft from that, assuming the router in the studio is somewhere in the middle then router to router would be near on 200ft. Running an ethernet cable does add cost as its another run that the mole has to do and is about an equal cost to using the radar technique that my brother in law suggested, he said it would be as stable as a cable and wouldn't run the risk of having breaks in the line that'll be buried underground. I'll have a further chat with the moling company to see what the cost is to run a 4th line (16mm armoured cable, water line, waste line) for the ethernet, but when we briefly discussed it a few weeks ago, the cost is similar to radar WiFi.

Timber frame on top of a steel based which will be on ground screws. It'll be white render finished, fully insulated. Plastered on the inside and painted white. We're using a mechanical mole to route the utilities underground to save digging a trench 200ft up the garden. Need to get WiFi down there too... not sure on the best route for that. My brother in law who's a bit of a IT whizz suggested some kind of radar system, not sure how that's works but he'll help us with that.

So, it's actually officially happening! We've broken ground today on building a studio rehearsal room. It's going to be a big old beast... circa 40sqm. Time frame to completion is around 8 weeks. I shall update in due course, but suffice to say I am quite excited about having a proper studio rehearsal room! 😁 The band will be moving in as soon as its ready and will save use between £200 and £250 a month in practice room fees.

When you say 'look this one up' you really mean you had to flick through your laminated stack of vintage 'gentleman' magazines to find this particular edition...

Take a look at the GR Dual 1400. It has 2 separate 1400w channels with independent EQ sections. Incredibly lightweight too at 3kg. I bought one after selling my Mesa rig that @Bunion was showing off above! Oh, and they are comparatively very cheap at £999.

🤣 Horrific, but excellent combination of words!

Depends when I last re-strung it.

Fishsky? (Sorry)

Like a DeLorean shaped stack of hot flapjacks topped by a knob of slowly melting butter utop the heaving chest of the cover girl of the March 1979 edition of Playboy.

Looks better already!

Bought most of Mark's PA system off of him today, a perfectly smooth transaction and always good to meet a fellow BCer in person! I'd be more than happy to buy from Mark again, another credit to the BC community. Cheers sir!

That 'scratch plate'... 🤣

I'd guess that they occasionally played it without the B string attached. Either way, it needs burning.

A Fletress too apparently... 🤔

Indeed. ACG Salace E-Type 33" 24 fret set neck. Best basses I've ever used, and I've used many! When you find what's right for you, why use anything else.

Everything this seller sells is. They're quite well known in these parts for exactly that!
