That’s right…

Yep 100% agree with you Lozz. Dave

Had a strange one at our gig on Sunday. Starting the second half, I unmute all the channels I’m using on the X-Air Edit software on my Surface Go, but the main vocal remained muted? Looked at the connected X-Touch to see the mute light glowing away. Somehow, and for the first time in my experience, the X-Air Edit software and the X-Touch were out of sync. I’ll do some further testing before this weekends gig and report back. Meanwhile, would anyone like to talk me out of upgrading my XR18 to the x32 rack?

I’m not that far behind you age wise Daryl, and left a very successful band a couple of years ago. I now play mainly in a duo with one of my best friends, and am still enjoying doing gigs which, happen to pay well. If this was to end, I think I’d struggle to find anything similar, so would probably do the dep thing if I wanted to continue playing live. I don’t rely on the gigging I currently do, but it would leave me worse off financially if it folded, so I understand your dilemma. I’d stick with it if I were you, whilst maybe looking around for something to fall back on should things not work out.

I'm told that my father also enjoyed going there on Saturday mornings.

Next Saturday 28 Stray will be playing a local gig at The Stables in Milton Keynes. There’s still a few tix left at £20 each.

After having bought a used original Tech 21 Oxford I discovered that I much prefer how it sounds without the build in cab sim filter engaged (it is one of the newer versions where this is switchable), but I'd love to have a backup, and I do own 2 Joyo Oxford Sound pedals. So my question is: Do anyone here know how to mod the Joyo Oxford Sound to bypass the build in cab sim filter circuit? And if so would they care sharing the detailed instructions of how to do so? Just for the record I won't bother installing a switch, I am just interested in hard bypassing the build in cab sim filter circuit of the pedal permanently.

No Tiger Shoes for Tiger Feet?

Love that the word 'precision' is on the front page 🤣

That's great advice, especially the bit about describing you as a bassist who moved to China (and one with a well documented fascination with and knowledge of graphite necks) as opposed to just another manufacturer. Good luck with it all @Kiwi

If the price and animal considerations of the Doc Martens were putting you off @Happy Jack these are much cheaper and vegan 😁 https://www.tukshoes.co.uk/products/black-leopard-vlk-sneaker

Nothing is better than Leopard skin print. Just so you know.

Looks good so far. Only thing I'd recommend is to help people build trust with you would be a bit more personalisation on the 'about' page. A picture of you with one of the necks, maybe a bit about you having moved to China and so forth helps people realise where you're coming from and the face behind the business. You wouldn't want UK/US/EU customers being put off (wrongly) because they see it's a Chinese company and become wary for whatever reason. It would also be great to see more of the process, workshop, materials etc. In time, testimonials and warranty/support info would be reassuring, too

I'd be looking but don't jump unless you are sure. Maybe just go on Facebook and look for bands needing a regular dep.

Well, you did hijack a thread originally posted to praise a company that around 99% of people would say are 100% outstanding (Sex Panther reference there), criticised them for not helping although Dave did suggest a workaround albeit one that you rejected, then suggested that without another fix your friend's only amp is going in the bin because the fan being on all the time would not work for bedroom practice (despite the fact they can't afford a replacement), then mentioned he uses it for gigs also. My solution would be the same as Dave's; wire the fan on all the time, live with it for bedroom practice, and have a gig-worthy amp. Certainly far better than binning it or damaging it attempting repair. Either way, as Andy @agedhorse said, good luck. And I honestly would be very surprised to find that if you picked up the phone to Ashdown you didn't get a solution, given my experience with them and that of many others, it sounds like you either caught them on a bad day or there was a misunderstanding of some sort 👍
