    Ok what wireless set ups are you using.

    The g30 is pretty sweet; great range and sounds clear. I would never play more than 4-5 hours on a set of batteries- just in case. The only issue I ever had was if I forgot to take my phone out of my pocket it would cause the signal to cut out. Understandable.

    SO I get my wife.....

    It is unfortunate that she wouldn't see it as you supporting her in something you know she finds enjoyment in. It would be different if you bought her a food dehydrator to make jerky, if you were the only one who liked jerky. Anyways, enough of this madness. Sweet bass, ace lady.

    SO I get my wife.....

    Fine, then can you please explain how my saying that in my opinion a functional gift is the best is chauvinist? I were to buy my partner a car, it would be chauvinist? The way it seems is that you are the one thinking in this manner, believing that a woman would not be able to appreciate a...

    SO I get my wife.....

    It was a general statement. And it would only be a chauvinist statement regarding the vacuum if the person making it didn't help out with the housework. Housekeeping is for guys too dude.

    Are tribute bands successful?

    Tributes can be successful, but its a different kind of successful, like a successful lactose free milk; Its successful but the market is different. So I guess what i'm trying to say is that tribute acts are lactose free.

    Why upgrade the pickups on a MIM

    I'm in much the same position with a 2003 MIM P. Probably because I have no experience with the other pickups, but then I like the way the stock ones sound so why change! Maybe its so when snobs look down own Mex owners they feel safe in that they can bring their upgrades up in their...

    Hearing protection

    I play with the re-useable -20b attenuating style plugs. They take a short while to get used to (sounds are more subdued and any vocalizations you make will sound quite loud.) But they cost under £5 and aren't uncomfortable. I'm quite sure that I've already damaged my hearing (I hear a high...

    Which wireless to buy in the UK?

    +1 for the line6. Battery life is even better than stated. £205 new plus DV247 are offering a 4 year warranty on non-breakable/perishables.

    Best oil for rosewood boards?

    Is Ghs fast-fret of any benefit to my fretboard? As far as I'm aware its mineral oil on/in a stick.

    Cold sweat total failure turns out to be brain fart

    This is why true bypass is worth the extra, you might not get the effect, but you still get your dry sound at least.

    DI or MIC it up

    I'm surprised that nobody has brought up the issue of feedback with bass mic'ing, the smaller the stage, the less mics I want used. Never had an issue with the feedback, but it could definately be an issue with all the non-directional lows. DI is your safe bet.
