I have a Yamaha THR 10 (1st generation) and I use it most days. It’s a great sounding amp at low volumes and surprisingly takes pedals well.

I haven’t tried the amps so I can’t compare the features, especially as my version of the amp doesn’t have Bluetooth. But for indoor volume and sound/tone I’d recommend.

I managed to fix the milkyness with a light spray of nitro in the correct weather conditions. The new layer of nitro dissolves into the old/previous layer and releases the moisture. That’s the theory anyway and worked for me.

Haha the zebra stripes are reflection from window/blinds.

When I sprayed my body I had a similar set up to @rodan. I didn’t have the bike stand but my bit of wood attached to the neck pocket had a hook and string so I could hang it from the ceiling of my shed.

I vacuumed and dusted as best as I could before spraying and had no extraction except open doors. I think you’ll have to be very unlucky to get any flies stuck to it.

I think the main thing to factor in is the great British weather if you’re spraying outside or in the garage/shed. If it’s raining or about to rain, don’t spray. The humidity can haze up your finish. It’s fixable, but you’ll waste your time and nitro and only wait for the weather to get good again. Be patient! I wasn’t.

But I got there in the end.

@Nahguavkire yes thank you! I’ve just found a uk seller too.

@Nahguavkire I really love your duo sonic!
Do you know if Kluson or any other half decent company’s make a vintage style tuner with a black ‘butter bean’ button? I can’t seem to find them online unless the whole tuner is black.

I want that vintage for my mustang build, but I want the tuners to match my black scratch plate.

Sorry if I’m late to the party on this one. I tried using the search and nothing came up.

I’ve only just updated my OS to Monterey but now my Mac is running terrible? In Adobe programmes and my music DAW, any links from an external HD (which is everything) keeps getting error messages as missing when it is not?

After Effects is unusable as I can’t preview anything. It’s like I have zero RAM? I’m also getting saving issues?

I’m so annoyed as my Mac was running beautifully before the update

@dangeek mine too has had a hard life! But as @Vbulman says they are super serviceable. When buttons have stopped working, I’ve taken it apart and cleaned it. When I’ve reassembled it it’s worked like new.

That’s a beautiful ‘murdered out’ mpc1000. Well deserved of a flight case. My 1000 still gets the towel treatment.

Fret rubbers look pretty simple to use. Crimson guitars do a set of you want to save yourself some import tax from stewmac.

There are loads of cheaper versions available on eBay but I’m not sure on the quality.

Ahhh that is sad to hear. Great thing about the old mpc’s is that under the hood they are modular and parts are easily sourced and replaceable (shipping is the hardest pill to swallow).

I would recommend cleaning the tact switches with rubbing alcohol and cotton buds first and/or cleaning any connectors. They are old machines and and good clean can make things work again. For context, my headphone jack never worked properly and I lived with it for years. Eventually I undid the connector, cleaned it and reattached it and it now works perfect.

The pads in the older MPC1000 are known for failing so maybe the newer pad upgrade is best in the long run but there is some videos on YouTube of people dissecting individual pads, cleaning and reassembling.

Good luck!

I have finally put some tunes online. Lockdown 1 inspired me to play my guitar more and dust off my sampler and these songs are the result of that. I still know nothing about mixing or mastering so any feedback is welcome.

Some of the tunes are outcomes of the LFGSS Music Makering Challenge.

Since the lockdowns I’ve started using my mpc 1000 again after years of it being packed away. I forgot how much fun it is

Great submissions! I really enjoyed them all.

Shit! Work was crazy today and I totally forgot. I’ve just uploaded

Sweet! looking forward to it.

Think I’ve finished my track as best as best as I can. Does anyone else think they’ll submit anything?

Firstly, massive congratulations on getting married!

Secondly, I can’t believe you put that pressure on yourself to create a track for you’re wedding... but well done! And I’m glad it got you back into recording.

Mat of Monty’s fame was my neighbour growing up. I hit him up via insta to say “hey remember me?”... no reply.

He was cool... super proud of him.

I started working on something last night. Was so much fun just messing around in the studio again.

Thinking about keeping it loose as creating the initial song is always my favourite part. My least favourite bit is fine tuning (well trying at least) everything.

I’m still game. I’ve missed out on the last few due to a new job. But I’m feeling settled now.
