Hmmm. Not entirely sure that this is the case. I enquired with Thomann about a stage piano recently (okay, okay, I know it's the wrong forum) that I was looking to buy privately from someone local to me, but had originally been sold by them. It was about 6 months old. They said that they will continue to honour the warranty, but instead of it being a 3 year warranty, it drops down. I can't recall if it dropped to a year from when I bought it, or 2 years from the original sale, but the point was there was still a warranty. This was Thomann, but it may be the case with other sellers. It also applies in many other cases. Car warranties are transferable if the car is sold. I'd say find out where it was originally bought and also contact the manufacturer. If it was a manufacturing defect you should be protected. I would also point out to the manufacturer that this wasn't something that 'broke' it was wrong from the day it was built. If worse comes to worse, then you could threaten the manufacturer with taking them to the small claims court, but try and exhaust the other possibilities first.

That’s some impressive travelling there, puts me to shame for not going too.

Fantastic (and very light) 800w Markbass TTE800 Tube Amp with built in Tube Compressor. This is the better quality Mk1 of these amps that was still made in Itsly Preamp & Compressor is run on 4 tubes - 3x ECC83 (preamp) + 1x ECC81 (compressor) and a class D head meaning it’s still sub 5lbs! Also has a fantastic quality DI giving you an excellent recording device rivalling anything out there at 3-4x the cost, and as it’s a Class D power amp you can run it alone without a speaker just as your DI live if you wanted to, it doesn’t require a can connected like full tube amps 3b Passive EQ and also ‘Colour’ knob which is like a tone control on your passive bass or like the MB ‘VLE’ function. This amp is insanely loud if needs be, and gives you an amazingly thick, dense sound that remains clean. This isn’t like your Ampeg’s etc that you can overdrive, it’s a clean tube amp, altho with some real effort and the gain cranked you can OD it with a boost but it’s not really that style, it’s just an authentic vintage tone with heft you can only really get from a tube preamp I have recently got a tube DI that fits on my pedalboard, and I go ampless on stage 95% of the time, and so I am getting a power amp that I can drive from my board if I need a cab, rather than introducing something else to my signal if I need an amp. This is an amazingly good amp - and for the money it’s an awful lot better than some of the others out there (an 800w Harley Benton amp is £300 currently, so this is miles ahead of everything else in this price range, and most above too) It also looks absolutely great - including amber lighting on the circuit board giving you a nice amber glow through the enclosure which looks ace on a dark stage Info on Markbass Website: https://www.markbass.it/product/tte-800/ I have price this to sell specifically at the price I need it to sell for to buy the power amp I want, so I’m not going to reduce it, if it doesn’t sell I’ll keep it, it’s a beauty (or if the amp I’m after goes I’ll withdraw it) Price is £360 - postage can be arranged, will be packaged very securely and it’ll arrive in one piece.

I'm working on Jethro Tull's Bourée, which I've wanted to learn for a long time. The hard part isn't playing it as such, but remembering all the different variations. I started out by transcribing the whole thing in standard notation, which took three evenings of work but was worth it, because it's so much easier to see all the different patterns and variations in this form. I don't think I could've learned this one from tab, it would've done my head in. I'm getting on pretty well with it but have almost got to the bass solo bit, so I'm about to find out whether I have the chops for it or not! One thing I certainly have gained from learning this is a massive admiration for Glenn Cornick.

NW & Scotland Bass Bash and Petting Zoo 2025 - Sat 10/5/25 - LA2 8DZ
Mottlefeeder replied to rwillett's topic in Events
Just to add my thanks to Rob for the organisation and pizza, and to say that it was great to meet other bass players and listen to their playing style, and talk about bass gear. Also, thanks to our drummer for the day, whose name I didn't catch. David -

I shimmed to raise the headstock. It is now OK. But I must admit it feels like a cheat. My preference is that it works as it "should". I know a shim is entirely acceptable. Thanks all for humouring me, as usual.

@neepheid what was that dark blue P style bass I tried with the Lace p/up please? Should have taken a pic and forgot

Great to see you all again boys and thanks Rob for another superbly organised day.

Check if simply unplugging the router from the mains and also anything WiFi stop the noise. To put it simple, these are extraordinary mains polluter.

MichaelDean started following Pickup Vinyl Wrapping

I don't have any personal experience, but I've seen some gold wrapped pickups before on a white/black swirl NG3. Looked sick. It should work. I think the trick to getting the curves looking good is using a hair dryer to make it more pliable. Or get a car wrap specialist to do it maybe?

Seen an mxr box in a IMA video with him saying I’m road testing this at the moment, very exciting but I can’t talk about it. Kevin Scott posted a video of him playing through an MXR pedal he couldn’t say what it is but maybe we can guess from the sound (I couldn’t 😂) and 20 minutes later it was removed. As for any agents finding me anywhere ….. best of luck 😅
