External Blue?

Possibly. As much as I'd love that I doubt I need it. I'm definitely tempted to put a blue or gold in it though.

Dude, you were wrong, not by a smidgeon but by a gaping amount. You piping this up occasionaly doesn't make you right ffs.

You posted

Not really such a thing as a ground loop in a guitars wiring, there's a ground circuit so your volume and pickups work and one for the bridge, they all go to the ground of the guitar jack... if you're getting hum or buzz when you touch the strings it's more likely you have a short or you've wired the jack backwards

Ground loops only really exist between devices which are coming off different 240v circuits.

I posted an idiots guide to grounding thinking you'd be able to read it. Clearly not else you'd have figured out that you have ground loops in guitars, which was my point. Discuss by PM if you have further comprehension issues.

I would suggest you read your own signature.

I used to think the internet was just good for porn, but it's also good for discovering music and songs that you'd never hear otherwise.

Recently I've found myself playing this album a lot, two or three times a week.

Eric Bibb - Blues, Ballads and Work Songs

I absolutely love this, it's kind of what I hoped Keb Mo was going to be all about when I got his albums but he never quite was. I can't remember where I got this CD from, I'm sure I just grabbed it in a CD store somewhere when I spotted it, if the CD had come out earlier then I would have said Radar records in Christchurch but that was gone before the CD came out I think so I'm wondering if I grabbed it the weekend me and the Mrs spent in Wellington without the kids.

Anyway, finding it a really good CD to listen to while I'm deep in programming at work.

My acoustic, and my Mesa, now that everything's dialled in.

I have a jam tomorrow night on bass, so I thought I'd better see if my bass gear still works, as its been a while. I normally reach for my Jazz Bass as first choice, but I grabbed the wrong case and popped my Precision out. What the hell, let's see if it still works...

OMFG: The combination of Precision and Genz-Benz is smegging awesome!! Totally hoopy!

The drummer and I have been bitching to our bassist about his tone (old Ibanez bass with some no-name Chinese bass amp thing - dreadful tone, really awful) and this just brings it all home why. I'm not normally a tone chaser, but bloody hell - this is what bass is meant to sound like in my world!

So loving it!

I met him at a gig he did in Hamilton. Fantastic singer, guitar player and man, he can tell a good story. I've met Keb Mo too. Tall! They both have a back catalogue worth checking out. Coincidently, they were both born in 1951 and neither looks their age! Anyway, I feel blessed to have experienced them live.

DC10 2x12". Light grit through high gain without the "drawbacks" of a recto.
Essentially a silverface MV twin without the trem and with a more than entirely useable drive channel.

When did you get a Mesa? It's hard to keep track of you and all your gear. And I thought you were on a bass thing at the moment, not acoustic?
