According to GHS, the Brite flats are "a string that feels like a flatwound, but has the bite and definition of a roundwound". Shame it's not the other way round, they'd be ideal..!

I do like the sound of flats, but I absolutely hate the way they feel under my fingers. It's the smoothness, it has this almost slimy quality that I really can't stand. I've tried more than once, but I just can't get on with them. I suppose the only way to replicate the sound in any way will be to somehow prematurely age a set of rounds?

Abyssinia (Kerouac's Song) - Tom Yates

Or Danny Wilson.

I would absolutely and definitely go and audition for a band called Nigel or Colin assuming of course that I liked the sound/idea of what they were playing. One of my first bands after leaving school had the working name "3 Guys Who Know Paul". We were a 4 piece and one of us was Paul. Perhaps mercifully, we never got to gigging. I'd have no problem with joining an artist-name band as long as the conditions were right in terms of creative input/freedom. I wouldn't be interested at all if I was handed a part and told "play this and do not deviate from it, oh and you've got to wear black and stand well out of the light". Unless it was tremendously well paid -- I'm a proper clown wh0re, me. A few years ago I was in a band that was named for the singer -- essentially we were her backing band, but in reality two of the band did the songwriting along with Sally and all of us had creative input when it came to our respective parts, and the lights were for everyone. Came to an end when Sal started a family. It was a great band with fabulous songs and I really miss it. EDIT: I say 'a few years', I've just remembered that her daughter is now 14... yikes, how the years fly.

I did a search for 'Orange 4stroke schematic' and all that came up were manuals (not free downloads). Assuming that said manuals don't contain a full and detailed circuit schematic, is it possible that you could be a tiny bit more detailed?

Anyway, moving away from asinine comments about w@nkery and circus exhibits -- one of my pet peeves in the past with some pedals has been their dismally small and dim status LEDs. I had a Boss Bass Chorus at one time and I ended up performing surgery on it to replace the tiny red 3mm LED that totally disappeared under stage lighting with a big bright green 5mm one with a wide viewing angle. Worked a treat but it was annoying that I needed to do it.

And the only winners are the shyster lawyers.

Bloke's a dreamer. On the basis of the above, I don't think he stands a chance.

Homeward Bound - Paul and Art

You'll have to forgive me if I laugh my arrse off at this.

Chris Square stole all of Tony Goggle's best licks.

Or a Vogon.

I'd rather go with 'Gruntbuggly', 'Bindlewurdles' and 'Blurglecruncheon'.

Yes, overly bright LEDs can be a nuisance. Another good way to tame them a bit is to paint a bit of tipp-ex (other corrections fluids are available) on the tip of the LED. I did this with the blinding LEDs on my Genz Shuttle and it works quite well. The more you paint on them the dimmer they get.

Yup, I agree. When I made my Woolly Mammoth clone, I deliberately avoided using the stupid 'pinch' and 'wool' labels and just called the things what they are... 'Filter' and 'Fuzz'.

Very sad news. I had an iAmp350 for some years, it was a lovely thing.

I've always felt that the bottom bout is too big compared to the rest of the body. It looks like it's got a fat lip. Once you can see it, you can't unsee it. There's no denying that the electrickery is very clever and I'd gladly use it myself... in a different body shape

Harry's Game - Clannad

F*ck Off - Wayne County & the Electric Chairs

I bought a CH neck for my ska bass and it is superb. I'd buy one of these without hesitation.
