[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1467484159' post='3084071'] My only complaint is about Regi, his brother, on guitar. He displayed an amazing tapping technique, and on his solo spot he sang some good classic soul songs. However, once we'd seen his diddling for a couple of minutes, he should have stopped. Instead he carried on, and on...I think he was close to spoiling the gig. [/quote]Glad I'm not the only one who thought this!

Just me, it appears

So, who's here then?

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1467034711' post='3080626'] I think this sums-up why we are such a great nation. No matter how bad it is, we'll stick a flag in it. [/quote]At a jaunty angle.

Well, I enjoyed the Coldplay set. If I was uncharitable, I'd say it looks like a lot of people who already dislike Coldplay intensely watched a bit of the set purely so they could say how crap it was. TBH I enjoyed it as much for the lighting as anything else. The effect of all those xylobands was simply stunning.

Pretty crap relic job IMO. I wouldn't say no to a pristine one tho.

Switched it on to catch a few minutes of Adele and ended up watching the whole set. Thought she was very good. I'm quite prepared to be in the minority with this opinion.

For my money, Muse are one the very best live acts out there right now. Chris is a superb bassist, his creativity and tonal palette are an inspiration (how much do I want that doubleneck???). For me, they're a 21st century Rush. Feel free to tell me how wrong I am, I don't care

Morrissey always has and always will get right on my tits, can't stand the bloke. I used to let this colour my opinion of the whole band and their songs, but thankfully I've outgrown that and can really appreciate their stuff now. Although I still listen to it despite Moz rather than because of him

Outrageous bassist, superb stick player, and an absolutely thoroughly bloody nice bloke. Oh, and an expert at hiding in really small spaces.

What it says. Anyone fancy sharing details of patches they're particularly pleased with?

I sing too, but I will always be a singing bassist rather than a bass-playing singer. If you see what I mean.

2016 strikes again. And again, and again, and again...

I'm going to The Fleece in Bristol on 28th June. Anyone else going?

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1465918093' post='3072093'] I had to google it, but sure enough it's an actual saying. My shame is eggscruciating. [/quote] Yes, and that's no yolking matter.

For me it's both pups at 100% -- I like my J to sound like one -- and tone at 100% if it's passive. On an active, it's a whole different ballgame re: tone, but the pups stay the same. Although for rock tunes I dial back a bit on the bridge to get a ballsier more P-like sound. Most of my tonal variation between songs comes from different patches on my Pod XT Live.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1465520128' post='3069018'] The tape only motivated me to practice more. Blue [/quote] Good for you. It motivated me to thank my lucky stars that I've never had to work with a tyrant.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1465338612' post='3067428'] I hear no HATE,only passion and respect for the art. [/quote] And zero respect for the artISTS.

[quote name='operative451' timestamp='1464034736' post='3056028'] See, i think that looks cool, but i like rat rods... [/quote] Oh good call Here's a nice pic of a relic P bass and a Fodera

What a hateful individual. No payday is worth being treated like that.

Ok, I've trawled through the box and the closest I can find are these two. Excuse the dodgy pics: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/jazza42uk/Mobile%20Uploads/PSX_20160607_123216_zpsfmlgyr2t.jpg[/IMG] Close-up view: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/jazza42uk/Mobile%20Uploads/PSX_20160607_123323_zpsyd9iop8u.jpg[/IMG] They are 17mm tall and the general description sounds like yours, as you can see the side grooves peter out towards the bottom. These came off my old Status when I blinged it up Let me know via PM if you want these, and I'll stick them in the mail. I'll clean them first I've not got many spline shaft knobs in the box, I must admit. I have a few sets of three grub screw fix ones in black if you're interested.

[quote name='D-Shap' timestamp='1465143398' post='3065565'] Seriously, was that intended to be offensive ? [/quote] Well, nobody else seems to think so We played the evening do of a ladies' civil partnership once, it was brilliant. Great audience and you've never seen a happier happy couple.

I have a vast knob collection. Let me check, might well have something similar. Is it a splined pot shaft?
