  1. Past hour
  2. I have had this bass on loan for a week and can attest to it being fabulous to play, light as anything and I have a glass back. You won't regret buying this. GLWTS Pete.
  3. Played the crooked crow bar in Leighton Buzzard on Saturday night. It's a funny venue, it used to be a Blockbuster video rental shop but now it's a live music venue. The boss, the staff, the sound people, each time we've played there they've just been so good to us. Not in the way of loads of free drinks or whatever but just in the sense that they really want you there and want to make sure you've got everything you need for a decent gig. I'd highly recommend anyone in this area to look them up. Anyhows, we are doing another specialist 00's gig on Friday so we trialled about five new songs and they went down very well, so we were pleased with that. Best part of the night: an artsy bloke in the crowd who fancies himself as a poet started peeling and eating an orange while doing some strange crouched down dance. Band's the Desert Penguins. Gear: Ashdown ABM600 with 2x15" cabs Bass: Stingray
  4. don't you mean ghosts in the machine logo (that would be clever)
  5. If they did them in red could you do something like the Synchronicity digital logo thingy? That would be awesome
  6. I wouldn't trust a 500w RMS rating on a 210 unless it was a very expensive one. 0 0 0 0 Is how to arrange two 210 cabs. You hear it far better and so does the audience when it's playing to the room. 200w through those Eden cabs should make plenty of noise. Good luck with your search for some well priced used stuff.
  7. amazing but too rich for me atm thanks for the info
  8. There's a world out there that I know nothing about. That article is from before I was even born
  9. He does go on (and on!) about where to put this pedal in the chain - overthinking things, lol! But finally says something useful at 2.40 when he comments "currently, as far as the actual models themselves go, I'm a lot more impressed with this than I was the MS-50G" So to answer his question, I'd maybe suggest that's why this pedal exists 😅
  10. Today
  11. I doubt it is, but I’d buy that even if it was a dog to play. Beautiful!
  12. I one did an open mic slot in Swansea with a chap called Peter Singh, a famous local Elvis impersonator.
  13. Really nice guitar amp for home practice. 20w 10inch speaker. It has switchable valve emulation which is kind of interesting. Good range of tones. Full specs here https://blackstaramps.com/silverline/ Home use only so in great condition. Will trade for compact amp like Bugera Veyron, TC BQ500, ashdown rm 500, gnome 600, with appropriate payment either way. Have original box so can post at cost.
  14. Oh yes I do. Thanks for the reminder! Will put it back on this evening.
  15. Getting artwork onto pedals is quite a challenge, I’ve been looking into this over the past few days. Scribbling directly on the casing seems like the only method that isn’t a huge commitment, which is maybe why some boutique builders choose that as their ‘aesthetic’. Screen printing is probably the nicest method but it involves using inks that are pretty toxic, the studios I would normally print in don’t allow those materials.
  16. I'd be surprised if 2 matching headstock black slab board 62s exist.

  18. And how do you know this is actually the case? You do realize that gear endorsements are extremely common all over the music industry, right? Nearly every single professional musician will have more than just one gear endorsement deal with various music gear companies. Seems strange to me why you want to single out Victor Wooten in specific, a musician that I only ever got the impression of, wherever I have seen him, to be an extremely down to earth and lovely human being. Jealousy?
  19. It's an absolute bare minimum effort on the part of Reverb (and its enormous tech-bro parent company) to just IP ban the scammer, and to set a flag that alerts Reverb's so-called 'Trust & Safety' team when that particular email address shows up in a private message (not unlike how eBay flags private messages that it automatically suspects are between people arranging a private sale). Of course it's near enough impossible to quash scammers altogether, but I would have expected Reverb to at the very least try to make it inconvenient for scammers to operate on that platform. Not a big ask of the 'Trust & Safety' team of a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars 🤔
  20. I've not seen this thread before and it's been quite an interesting read. My own tale goes back to 2012, at Forsyth's in Manchester. My partner and I had an agreement where we bought each other something significant to mark the birth of our children (in 2007 it was a 5 string Bongo for me) and this time, I was thinking about a nice acoustic. At the time, my eldest (5 years) had started to take piano lessons, so we took her along with us, so she could look at the selection they had (they specialise in pianos). The staff in the guitar department couldn't have been more helpful, bringing a selection along to me to try out and at no point pressured me with anything. I was pretty much left to my own devices with a brilliant collection of high end guitars, although it only took 5 seconds on the second guitar to decide. Whilst I was ham-fistedly banging away on these, my daughter took it upon herself to go and "try" some of the pianos they had in stock. For a good half hour, she played a range of acoustic pianos going from "cheap" uprights to some top of the range Schimmels. The staff in the piano department never once told her she couldn't touch them, or tried to move her on and encouraged her to continue. That's what I value about a good music shop. As a footnote, we didn't buy either a guitar, or a grand piano that day, but a few weeks later on Christmas day, the guitar I'd fallen in love with was presented to me.
  21. Once you get over that it's all fun. Play along with the TV adverts at home. Most have a readily catchonable bass riff. If you don't get it first time you get another crack in 12 minutes.
