  1. Past hour
  2. I found this weird thing - Musontek FurFur - when something tempted me to type "fuzz" into search bar of a local e-commerce platform. It immediately caught my attention do to its ridiculous looks, but I checked YouTube and was sold when a guy did nice Iommi with it and decided to chance it for bass. Turned out it is a wonderful general purpose fuzz with attitude and lots of tonal capabilities. It can be fine tuned from regular distortion to outrageous, screaming chugs. With a low gain OF before it it shines even more. It is tiny (think Mooer size), well-made (checked the guts, the PCB is nicer than in EHX stuff!), nicely packaged, and relatively cheap. Controls: FUR = Fuzz RUF = Volume (unity with clean signal at 9'o clock) L/M/H = voicing toggle (actually in a different order - I take it it's a 1-0-1 switch, so I'd argue the letters mean: L = Lancinate (bright), M = Muddy (dark), H = Heaving (medium); if the switch ever breaks, I'll substitute it with a rotary switch putting the modes in more intuitive order). It also has two easy-access trim-pots for BIAS and BODY on the side.

  4. I should have clarified that the MiPro has stereo combi inputs so if I was taking Aux outs (x2) they'd be going to L / R inputs on the transmitter.
  5. Thank you all, indeed I'm trying to find it on chatgpt, let's see if they are pretty close. I'll write the entire name on the chat
  6. Yes it is a very nicely roasted specimen 😆
  7. That's a roast-tacular neck!
  8. Not exactly top shelf, but I've got one of these things and I'm impressed: M-VAVE Tank-B It's got a rechargeable battery, USB-C connection. It has a power switch. It has an XLR out, as well as a 6.35mm TS socket and headphones output. Basically it's a small FX unit, with a number of cab and amplifier emulations, basic modulation effects, compressor and noise gate, and you can store and recall presets. The tuner is not the most user friendly or accurate, but it's certainly sufficient for home use. It can also act as a sound card to record even on a mobile phone. You can play along to music via bluetooth, too... and it's tiny. Prices vary, they tend to be around £60-70, but you can find them on AliExpress for around £50, frequently. I'm not recommending it because it's cheap, but because I like how it sounds and everything it can do. https://www.scribd.com/document/711832600/M-Vave-Tank-B-Manual https://www.cuvave.com/productinfo/1106118.html
  9. How do we feel about me approaching someone I know to do a talk on pickups? He is very very good with an audience and does it for a living. I reckon if we got the numbers up to 40+ I could convince him. It's just a matter of whether we're actually interested. If we videoed it, and put it on The You Tube, as Uncle Bryn calls it, it could be worth while for him.
  10. Hello all Cleaning out the parts cupboard. I somehow have accumulated 3 sets of these Hipshot Licensed Ultralite 1/2” Clover tuners in chrome. All in great condition/fully working as you would expect. I love these tuners - great value. I’m going to suggest £70 shipped in the UK for each set. First come, first served! Pete
  11. Best Jazz necks I've played - and that's a lot. Wonderful basses, I just wish the body curves/contours were a little more dramatic and organic. I really like the colour and MHS on this - really quite rare
  12. It is mainly wired IEM systems. Te Behringer ones are OK, but some are not. TRS to XLR should be OK.
  13. I bought the CQ20 for the extra (XLR) inputs and the built-in power supply.
  14. Did not know that. If I went TRS>XLR lead?
  15. Today
  16. Be aware that some IEM systems only have stereo on the XLR part of the combi input. It is not available on TRS.
  17. Morning all Up for sale is a set of Squier '77 VMJ pickups. Working perfectly and sound great; I used the bass I got them in for a different build project, so no longer need these. They even come with spring loaded foam, a nice touch. Easy to use for a bitsa build. I'm selling for £27 plus postage. Pete
  18. I meant to say. Here’s what these Turner pickups sound like with an ACG EQ01 preamp - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bDxJtT8a3cc And here’s what they sound like with the Lusithand Double NFP (the Mark 1 version, not the Mark 2). - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gAMnqz6Uoic They sound great with the preamp in this body - the Double NFP mark 2.
  19. Saw the Doobie Brothers last Thursday in Birmingham... and on Saturday at the London O2 Arena. Simply fantastic.... consummate singers, musicians and performers.... and still putting most other acts to shame. Wonderful!🎶👍😎
  20. Purchased at the end of March this year, in mint condition, used a few times but just not for me. Comes complete with genuine Boss soft carry case and Boss power adapter. Will also chuck in the USB cable which you can use to connect to a PC. £200 plus postage from the I.O.W

  21. Hey all Bought by accident - meant to get steels, not nickels. Ah well. My loss is someone else’s gain. £30 posted in the UK seems a reasonable discount. Pete
