    In rehearsal - Guitarist insists on playing through PA … right behind my head

    And what is the reason for insisting such a thing? Until we know, eight nails, a hammer, and a sheet of wood, to cover the speaker, should help some. Maybe you could buy a longer lead, sit on the couch, and whack a cardboard cut out up, of yourself, where you normally stand. Anyway, the...

    Bringing this SPL meter to rehearsal...

    Somebody say something so we can get this thing over 50 dBA. ;):laugh: I've used them to get levels from the monitors of my DAW and just because I was curious. If you take note of the readings, for me it was mainly reheasals, you could get to better guage what levels you're playing at, and when...

    America never really 'got' these 12 British bands

    One of my all time favourite bands. Zal Cleminson, what a great guitarist. He really was.........something else. I didn't see them on the list. Maybe because they were Scottish, and proud of it. :laugh:

    Phantom battery drain - diagnosis tips?

    How loose is your jack? Too late now, I suspect, as you've taken it apart. You may have inadvertently spun the jack, plugging in and unplugging your lead, causing some kind of internal contact.

    Bass cover - I need your feedback!

    Well done. One take, sweet. Not a critique, it sounds good. Technique is something you can work on or not, you do you. Right hand picking excercise, two fingers alternate, then swap which finger you start with. Left hand excercise, one finger per fret, but it's only an excercise. Don't do it if...

    JACK CASADY BASS PLAYERS CLUB!

    You can also make sure the front of the bridge is higher than the back, by raising the front single screw or lowering the two rear screws that hold the bridge to the body, and or a combination of both, as suits your set up.

    Leather strap care?

    I really liked the Walker/Williams. Thought it was leather. That pleather feel is because it is pleather i.e. plastic leather. A few months later it shed its skin. Microplastics everywhere.
