  1. Past hour
  2. Pub/club venues also like 2x45 as the interval is when they sell another good number of drinks.
  3. Reminds me of the old Behringer Xenyx 302USB but with a mic preamp on the 2nd channel rather than just a line in, looks very handy. Can it be configured to use the second channel for audio playback over USB?
  4. I've been looking at Sound Chaser. 😬
  5. AM (additive manufacturing) requires lots of money or a visit to a shop that has a printer. Last time I made calculations of a machine (250 x 250 x 250 mm printing volume), and the system cost was something like £500 000. This included all premises and a storage as well as other tools needed. [Smallest machines were meant for jewelery, or dentistry (printing area Ø 90 mm), and were under £80 000. Machines I studied were from EOS, SLM, Matsuura and alike.] The big issue with printers few years back was not the price of the printer, but the quality of the result. Every part needed quite a lot of post processing. I suppose this hasn't changed that much in six years. If you can use any other method than AM, like machining, use that. Plastic printing is really different beast compared to AM in terms of a system price, the need for post processing, and cost of materials.
  6. Sold some pickups to Gavin. An absolute pleasure to do business with. An asset to the BC community and welcome back any time. Thanks again Gavin.
  7. I have only used the cab at home but sounds really nice so far. Nice top end and good response, but think I’d like another one or a 15 to go with it for gigs so I’m not pushing it too hard. I play in a 7 piece with brass, so a lot to fight through.
  8. Great pedal in used condition but working perfectly. With manual and box. Price includes uk mainland postage. Price drop so now £60 posted.
  9. There’s quite a few shops here that I often have a look through, some in Europe too
  10. Mick Jagger had his own doubts about it thirty years ago: -- interview in Rolling Stone magazine, 1995
  11. Downtown Lights, by The Blue Nile. The bass part is robotic (prolly a synth) and surprisingly hard.
  12. I would let him/her use my bass, provided they did not have a large buckle. If they did then that would have to come off or shirt untucked. But I would also have a quiet word with them afterwards and say that it is VERY bad manners to assume you can play someone else's instrument. I would also quietly enjoy watching them try to play a 35" 5 string..
  13. Chris Chaney is a killer player. Obviously it's always good to see the original line up but I can't imagine it being disappointing to see him play. Loved the one album he did with them too.
  14. If the church is so large you don't know the other bass players in the church I would expect they bring their own and you take yours with you (and let them use rig) If your church is smaller you probably know the kid and know if you can trust him or her
  15. Ever see a picture in an art gallery and think, I really want a bass in this colour! This is like an aged seafoam green with an undercoat of Aztec gold. Maybe. Fender experts may correct on this. Taken at the Tate at St Ives in Cornwall, artist credited in the pic.
  16. Here is a hypothetical situation for church bassists to comment on. Let us say that you are on the rota for a particular week, and on the same week, the Young People Band is playing a single song. The day comes, and it's time for YBP to play their song. They jump up on stage, and the bassist doesn't have a bass with him. His assumption was that it would be supplied - and he is looking at your Wal / 57 P bass / Harley Benton / Skip Rescue. This is news to you - you were not involved in the arrangements. Do you let them use your bass (or guitar, or saxophone, or violin etc)? How does one react? Is the bassist like the 5 virgins who did not prepare the oil for their lamp? Or, having been asked for your coat (Cort?), do you hand over your shirt too? Discuss - extra marks for real-world examples!
  17. I need to learn George Benson - Feel like making love. Quite hard.
  18. A little history of Walter and these great amps.....back in the 1980's I bought one from Walter Woods direct from the USA, they were expensive for the time but... double bass player Rufus Reid was playing one at Ronnie Scotts with the mighty saxophonist Dexter Gordon. I asked during a break what 'that little red box was' that was powering two Bose cabinets, (the ones used in PA systems). It was a WW 100 watt amp. He convinced me, a budding double bass player, to get one. I called Walter to order and asked how he made such a small amplifier and he explained that when the USA government started releasing previously held information from the public, he went to the N.A.S.A. info 'pages' to find out how a space craft could send a coherent voice signal from the moon to Earth and he nabbed the technology for his amps and so made possibly the first digital commercial amplifiers.. Good luck with the sale robbuu, the amp looks to be in great shape.
  19. Make sure it's for the right reasons - not just an opportunity to play music, but a church which lifts, supports and nurtures you. Let us know how it goes
  20. Today
  21. Afternoon charity gig…classic car show in Wisbech at the Five Bells supporting East Anglia Air Ambulance. Cool weather, but a good crowd and the pub staff was excellent. I was really happy with the new cabs…really good even with no PA feed.
  22. It's in as new condition. Can post for an extra £5. Would swap for a rack tuner.
