If she's moving about,how about a head set mic?

I do like a bit of dub,but it has to be HEAVY. Can't stand funk.Does nothing for me.

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1347888466' post='1806154'] Ok thanks for the input, much appreciated. Firstly, in the 60's when I was in a showband everyone around here called them mikes so I'll stick with that Problem she has is she plays a jumbo 12 string which makes it hard to be near the mike, even though it's on a boom, she really has to think about staying put which isn't easy considering what else she has to do. Sooo a mike that would pick up from about a foot away would be ideal, the vocals all go to a desk so it's easily adjusted. The best thing we have is a Peavey which another talentless person has claimed as her own even though it belongs to the church The Sennheiser 845 sounds like it may do a better job?? [/quote] Bit puzzled by this,why can't she use a long boom stand to get the mic closer? I've always been of the understanding that traditionally the SM 57 has suited the female voice better than the SM 58,but bear in mind it has no pop sheilding so use it with an external popshield.

I had both,I actually preferred the TNT,but they're both good.The TNT was a little punchier and more comfy to sit on.

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1347710089' post='1804202'] thats what im thinking but just wondered if anyone had the balls to try it? [/quote] Yes,back when I was a novice and didn't know about such things.Fortunately the amp was still under warranty.

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1347530623' post='1801975'] All this 24 hr quarter turn stuff is bull. Especially on a natural finished neck. A good neck should move instantly with maybe slight adjustment later on. [/quote] This one definately didn't...

[quote name='Emanew' timestamp='1347493986' post='1801774'] Like you, if i have a doubt i ask for advices around me. I only wanted to share with BC fellows what i learnt . No aim to play the teacher Your question was a good opportunity to write here what the luthier told me. How is your lefty neck ?

[/quote] Better.I think it took time for it to realise it wasn't in a shed any more.

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1347494129' post='1801776'] Is it a Left handed hammer? [/quote] Yes.Forged in the fires of hell by Satan herself.

Anything with a round core as opposed to a hex core.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1347379330' post='1799994'] Yep, started out out on a Kay EB-0 copy, [/quote] Likwise.Utter garbage.Straight on to Precisions,had many non Precisions since,always go back to my 1978 Fender P.Except for the odd video or photoshoot,that Tokai Thunderbird does look nice.

That's what I stick to.I fully understand the truss rod process,it's just that this one seemed to be working backwards.

There was some resistance,but it is turning ok and doesn't feel like it's floating free.

Not really....Just referring to my favourite tool.

I thought not,the other basses I've adjusted ( 1978 Fender P,80's Aria,New ish Squier P) have all worked conventially.It may just need a bigger hammer.

The most important aspect of any PA is the stage monitoring.Doesn't matter what the FOH sounds like if you can't perform because you can't hear yourselves.

I am familiar with truss rods and their adjustment,having recently aquired a couple of basses that have been in sheds for well over a decade,truss rod adjustment is obviously required.One of them is going ok,the other one ( an OLP stinkray) seems to have a will of it's own.So,my potentially stupid question is,does the fact that it's left handed alter which way the truss rod should be turned? Not something I have come across before.

You have a self relicking bass...

It's #50, Spikespants.

[attachment=117684:imagesCAJM9AZI.jpg] It'll look great.

I know Steve Harris can do it,but there's no way I can play 360bpm 32nd's with my fingers.

If you want to trundle over the Severn Bridge,the South Wales Metal scene is quite busy.
