  1. Past hour
  2. "Hello, I see you sell mandolins. Could I have one to fit this case, please?"
  3. Bought a bass from Matt – great comms, perfect delivery (at the agreed time too), bass was carefully and safely double-boxed and wrapped. Gigged it that evening. Perfect. Cheers man!
  4. I am sure I saw this before but I can't find it anyway, but if you have just over a grand to spare, you couldn't do much worse than throw it on this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177235717435
  5. Keep Moving - Madness
  6. Just started a Harmonica for Lung Health course. Lesson 3 on Thursday.
  7. Weird, I imported mine from Japan. It was still in tune when I got it.
  8. We threaten to unleash the dinosaur.
  9. Yhey are made by D'Addario so avoid those as well.
  10. Its got Ready Freddy Washington written all over it. Lovely stuff!
  11. I only heard about them when i heard Jimmy Haslip on Gino Vannelli album Brother to Brother and then heard he played with Yellowjackets. Dave
  12. Long Distance Runaround - Yes
  13. Not quite true of the Elf because of the complex compression/overdrive behaviour I just described.
  14. I had the pleasure of meeting @opwillbergtoday when he came to buy a bass from me. Otto is a lovely guy and a great bass player; it was lovely to chat about music and Germany. All details and arrangements were made and happened as planned, which involved Otto travelling up from London. He was very flexible in accommodating a change of timing on my part. A flawlessly smooth transaction and I’d happily transact again.
  15. Fantastic piece of community 🥰
  16. The TE Elf has built in compression and like most TE solid state heads sounds best with the gain well up. The compression light SHOULD be coming on. It ends up putting out as much power as a more highly rated amp as it controls transients via the compression rather than handling them with headroom. If the is rotated into the last part of its range an overdrive effect is also applied. You can easily compete with an uncompressed 500W amp through the same speaker cabs, and can set the gain to get a good clean sound, dirty or on the cudp so it's pretty clean and gets dirty as you dig in. Very clever and much misunderstood. The designers really knew what they were doing. People who think it's a glorified practice amp and complain about fan noise gave missed the point of the Elf. It's as if it was designed specifically to spread the myth of Trace Elliot Watts
  17. Telephone call from Istanbul. Tom waits
  18. Nice job, whoever did this. Peter is a top chap, super helpful with all his knowledge around synthesis and groovy pedal goodness, so this is well deserved. I‘m only sorry I wasn’t aware of the gesture, thus unable to contribute.
  19. This place can be a very supportive community. Easy to forget that. I hope things improve for you soon
  20. Don't Hang Up - 10cc
  21. Well done whoever sorted this, and hope things turn out ok @Quatschmacher
  22. No problem, all fine. Like I said, it's probably better here because more people might see it and it is worthy of its own thread. Defiantly a good watch (well, I think so).
  23. I've had a Marine Band G for over 40 years, bit battered now. Also some cheaper ones. I can bend down on the draw but find draw playing hard work so have never stuck at it. Ought to try one of those workshops. Currently 'looking after' my partner's father's harmonica - an ancient Hohner Vineta 4 chord harmonica. Almost every source will tell you it does F-C-G, but actually it's G-major/D-major7 C-major/G-major7 F-major/C-major7 Plus low bass notes and a huge sound. Sonit can tackle blues in G and C.
  24. Ah sorry, I did search but only thread titles.
