Richy Titchy Pedalboard v2.0 currently in progress... the wood is assembled but I can't decide whether to go with black paint or just varnish. It's only scrappy bits of pine so TBH I'm leaning towards black. I wish I'd had some nice scrap wood to hand, a mahogany pedalboard would have been really cool.

Singers or vocalists, singing or vocalising
Rich replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
To my mind, a singer sings. Even if they've got a terrible singing voice, even if they're trying but failing, if the intention is to set words to a tune, they're singing. Even if those words are "Shana-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip bmm-bmm-bmm-bmm-bmm-bmm, get a job", they're still words, to a tune, ergo singing. The moment the tune aspect entirely and intentionally disappears from the performance, e.g. rap etc., it's vocalising by a vocalist, not a singer. Michael Bublé and Tom Araya are singers, Chuck D and Dani Filth are not. Yes this is a bit of an over-simplification and I'm sure there are gaping holes that can be picked in it, but I know what I'm trying to say. -

Follow-up to my NSBD (New Skirting Board Day), finally got some in place. Very pleased with the design. I don't do a lot of DIY so I'm quite chuffed with this.

I fitted a laminate floor in our bedroom and replaced all the skirting at the same time, rather than going the beading route. 2nd time I've done skirting. A satisfying job if your walls are square and plumb like they were on my 1st attempt, not so much when they aren't like, my 2nd attempt in a much newer house... But decent wood filler, decorators caulk and some patience with a paintbrush covers a multitude of sins!

I've always far preferred the GA24 shape to the normal Supernatural/MK, and I don't just mean the pointy tail. As a package it's much more pleasing to my eye. The Calibas shape was v.nice too.

I've got an old Zoom 509 that I've had for more years than I care to think about... I think I probably bought off Noah. It's all plastic and at first sight might appear flimsy, but I've gigged the hell out of it and use it at home a lot as a headphone amp. It's taken a licking and keeps on ticking, as they say. No qualms whatsoever about their build quality. I'm using an MS-60B now and it's built like a bomb shelter. I would sooner buy Zoom gear than Boss, quite honestly.

Nope, there are only 21 frets.

Top three attributes of a drummer - your opinion?
Rich replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
Our drummer uses a similarly tiny kit. 18" kick, snare, two toms, hats, ride, one crash. -

Looks great! I must give waterslides a try at some point. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a 'bleen'..?

Those would be my top three. I'd have to add taste, punctuality and knowing when to stfu. -

Is this the built-in tuner I've seen in some of his basses? Does he still offer it?
