  1. Past hour
  2. Excellent question.
  3. RHCP at their absolute best. Funky, great songs, interesting, original, utterly meaningless lyrics. The only similarity in their later stuff is the lyrics.
  4. Well assuming it’s a bloke he can clearly dispute it seeing as that’s the ladies!
  5. As a few of my favourites have already been listed I’ll go for Bloodsugarsexmagic by RHCP. phenomenal playing by flea throughout!
  6. Dear all Here we have a Standback amp stand, nice and light, folds up to take up diddly squat space in your bag. It's been used and that's reflected in the price Currently on sale at Amazon for £84.96 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Standback-Portable-foldable-Amp-Stand/dp/B000HHUHBI I've used a handy cardboard box to give you an idea, the Amazon ad does it so much better Your for £15.00 + postage
  7. I don’t know if mine is typical, but it weighs in at 3.7kgs. Not heavy by my standards, but still my heaviest bass, despite being the shortest.
  8. Here’s my new, much simplified board. The Original Effects pedals are amazing, and with some more tweaking the HX One will give me all I need effects-wise. My trusty Rockboard power bank means no need for a mains PSU, but I have a connection tucked away if it’s ever needed.
  9. Agreed , which is why I am using a power bank USB output and standard 9v input . So 5 to 6 hours on power bank battery and if it runs down just connect a standard 9v pedal PSU. https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_powerplant_powerbank.htm?msclkid=99502965fa64165f0eb44006467e47e7&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping UK&utm_term=4575755105892823&utm_content=GI
  10. Because they forgot they didn't do it at the same time as the guitar!
  11. Well, one thing, if it is not designed for it, if (for instance) I plugged some headphones into the TRS aux output of the X18 ihave, and it could drive it (and I have never tried, so can't say for definite), the ears would be inverted from each other - the tip and ring of a TRS aux are the positive and negative of the output, and the ground is just the cable ground. Headphones are tip to ground and ring to ground per ear, so in headphones when your left ear was pushing, your right ear would be pulling and viceversa. But irrelevant if the QC18 is designed to also run a headphone, I assume it fixes that.
  12. I don’t think shipping to The Hague is a practical option for two reasons. Firstly, including the flight case and foot switch, this amp weighs over 40kg. Secondly, with the UK now outside of the EU, the amp will be subject to import duties and VAT on arrival in the Netherlands. So, on those grounds I’ll stick with my original post which is collection only or meet halfway here in the UK.
  13. The very excellent Boss ME-90B for those who prefer physical knobs, buttons and foot switches. It's a great pedal indeed, save your own presets or use it as an all in one pedalboard. Packed with features and incredibly reliable. Loving the amp simulations now that I'm using in-ears a lot. Reason for sale: I have other pedal based things like my wireless system and I want to put them on a board so unfortunately this needs to go to make room. It's been very well looked after and will come with a power supply and the original box. The Bluetooth adaptor is not for sale I'm afraid, I'll be using that on my new pedal. Pickup from London, Cambridge or St Albans. Or I can post it to you at cost.

  14. The flow is great. It would be fantastic if it had a better power connector, but its still pretty good!
  15. I would question why you’d have signed up for the challenge in the first place!
  16. Empires and Dance - Simple Minds All (well, most) of the songs are built around Derek Forbes' brilliant driving bass lines, it's my second favourite album of all time but that disheveled bar steward with the moist towelettes, @upside downer, beat me to it. If I were wearing a cravat and monocle and perhaps sporting a cane it would be Gentlemen Take Polaroids - Japan
  17. Price drop now £350 collected.
  18. Hi folks Here we have a Roberts 3" strap, 46" - 51", the second higher hole shortens it by 5 1/2 inches. The button holes are clean, no appearance of being used, it still has the manufacturer's tag attached I'm asking £15.00 + postage I Fang Q
  19. One advantage of having a speaker with mounting points is that other things can be attached. I've put two side panels on the Mod Dwarf, they just slip on and off, so nothing permanent, so that sits on the top and the Gnome on the back of the cabinet It's all quite secure and I'm a little surprised how neat and tidy it is.
  20. I think you’ve covered the factors off really well. String choice, action and pickup height, there isn’t that much else you can do really.
  21. It isn't a perfect bass like you'd expect from a US Fender either. The body is rough in places, the frets could be polished and there are a couple of small dents on the neck. I'd have sent it back if I received even a £200 bass like that. But it's super comfy to play after a just quarter turn of the truss rod, sounds good, holds tune and resonates really nicely. I just want to pick it up and play it a lot, which is the sign of a good bass to me.
  22. It worked out lovely for the bass…I now have added it to my GAS list… jonny
  23. Thanks Phil, helpful as always! But, if what you say is correct (and I don't doubt that it is for a second!), that's making me think that the various earlier comments of: "you should never put an IEM cable into a line-level aux-out, without a headphone amp" as being an over-cautious old wives tale?
