Thanks. A little jealous of Stranger Danger with 444, but 443 is good too. :)

Just took delivery of my first Rick last week, midnight blue, imported from the US of A to Sydney Oz. It seems to be set up very nicely, only played it at rehearsal so far, looking forward to next gig. Today the Tubeampology bezel arrived and I installed it fairly easily. When I removed the...

The recording doesn't sound too bad, but there seems to be an unusually high level of background hiss on that track. Maybe your levels are not right - eg; low level somewhere remedied by winding up the gain too far somewhere further along the chain. Or perhaps the mike itself is low level, so...

One of the bands I play in is a Invalid Link Removed - keys, guitar and me (bass). Drums and anything else are on backing tracks. We do mainly small rooms, and the synth, 3 vocals and backing tracks go through two Bose L1 systems with double subs. I also plug my P-bass straight into one of...

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread - but I'm new here. I too am a leftie who plays "right". In fact I do some things left and some right which used to puzzle me a lot, BUT... sometime in my 30s a light went on and I figured out the general principle. Things that require two hands I do...

The tubeampology bezel looks just what I'm looking for, but according to their Ebay listing, they don't ship internationally. Anyone know how I'd get one in Australia? They have an agent in the UK selling for a much higher price, may I can get them to ship it out here. :crying:

I found it [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. They're selling on Ebay too. Google is my friend.

Hey Wild Steve, I've seen the trim that you can get from Pickguardian to replace the bridge pickup surround when you remove the pickup cover, it isn't like your photo - where did you get that black infill that retains the chrome surround?
