I suspect that what the OP is referring to, is the way the forum software should save any text that is typed into the reply field before it is posted. In the past I've clicked reply to a thread to discover that I started typing something several days ago but never finished it. Of course by then the discussion has moved on so my original unfinished reply is of little use any more. From my own usage I would imagine that the retention of un-posted replies is linked to forum cookies. It is also dependant on the device it is typed on and not uploaded to the Basschat servers as an unfinished reply typed on one device will not appear on another.

Hi all Moving on my Octabvre MKII as I needed space on my board so now have the mini version. This is what some people are calling the ‘holy grail’ one - it’s certainly very good at being an OC2 but also a very cool synth sound. All works as it should although some of the print on the front is starting to wear off. The cheapest I can find one online is £700+ and the bass gallery has one at £800 so hopefully price seems more than fair. I will also include RM special delivery in the price. Any questions - just shout. thanks dan -
How was your open mic or jam night last night?
Happy Jack replied to tauzero's topic in General Discussion
Yup, fun to be there, and of course I got put with a "character" as well which is why we ended up playing Move It On Over as a 13-bar, a novel approach and one with many advantages. 🙄 Nice jam that. Decent venue, loads of free parking over the road, good selection of beers, above all a very friendly bunch. Made a nice change from "Slow Blues in G" and foot-on-the-monitor, braindead Dadrock ... What's that you say, Sooty? Would I like another extended guitar solo? Oh well ... if you insist ... https://www.facebook.com/groups/772330602298385 -
Yeah. I think the greenness doesn't quite hit you until you see it in person. I really quite like the colour now after a few weeks though.

Really enjoyed the restoration video, I thought it look and sounded great afterwards John 😎 -
Decided that I’m gonna mix things up with the rig this year. I normally change things up every few years. I have a Jule Simone I tentatively listed last year as I was tempted by an Anagram but realised I have very basic gigging needs. With some great preamps now available I’m up for a change! Simone Spec: Jule is a bit vague in describing his gear so I don’t have eq points etc. I do believe the eq is baxandall inspired (think broad, wide and gentle Q giving a lovely ‘global’ feel to the eq and no frequency poking out of the mix - musical would be the best description). These are boost/cut with about 10db per band either direction. The EQ is tube driven Line out is a master output and this thing has tons of output and can drive a power amp (+19dB) Sense control. 4dB gain shift in the lows and some describe it like an input sensitivity making the unit come a bit more alive in the feel. Connected to the boost foot switch Drive adds 2dB-20db gain not dirt (also tube driven). In conjunction with the Sens control adds ‘more’ but it Is not an overdrive flubby tube sound. It adds clarity weight. All vague but listen to the demo below it is a very fair representation of the tone. Dedicated DI volume control - tube driven custom Cinemag transformer The Velcro is from when I would attach my DG Element for on the run, minimal kit IEM gigs and they paired wonderfully together. The best demo and one of the few demo’s can be seen below: Recoded delivery available UK only! Pictures to follow when I get back home.-

Holy Moly... this is for sale? Sounded excellent at the Bass Bash and if i was in the position to I'd be all over this! -
Unfortunately not, as I do not understand what you are reffering to, or what process you are having issues with. Where are you writing this text, how would you be expecting to save it, and where would you expect it to be available for acceptance or deletion after relogging in?

We recently took our old powered Peavey floor wedges to the guy one of a Guitarists uses for setups in Surbiton ... turns out he has a little sideline in amp repair mainly older stuff , as sadly no-one wants to be told you need to replace the whole Integrated PCB... for much the same price as a new one . The thing was making farting noises at volume , i'd guessed the whole speaker was delaminating .. turns out the tweeter was blown , He replaced it with a similarish size one .... but also remarked it used to be easy to get peavy spares to order/ find like for like but instead had to scrounge one from his " bits"

So it turned up today, my £63 (inc shipping) bass. Took it out of the box, and out of its gig bag (not great, but.. £63 and it has one, which is more than many do) and marvelled at how really green it was, seriously more green than the pictures. Really nice dark neck, a bit thicker than I would like ideally but ok. Good frets Tuned it up (tuners are ok), and played. It plays well, very impressed. I haven't plugged it in yet, that is tonights thing (comes with a lead too). Knobs feel solid (more solid than the ibanez EHBs). All in all its pretty amazing what you get. I will give it a try at a gig at some point, although they are a bit thin at the moment

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
synthaside replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Interestingly I've seen that as a major issue with Pirate we rehears at earlsfield ... its a great space until ..... anything breaks , or something is forgotten or you need a spare . They dont have anyone to ask or to loan out at all I understand staffing costs and the 24 hour nature of the place but a vending machine that sold Jack cables, XLR / power cables and picks would go such a long way. We have these at the office for self serve so they definatly exist .. Instead you sit on hold on the phone and they cant help you ... The suggestion to knock on some doors and ask if anyone wasn't using all of theirs didn't amount to much ... who answers the door mid Solo. 🙂 -
Sadly selling this ridiculously beautiful precision bass solely because of my tiny hands. Can't get on with the neck at all, I'm more of a jazz/jag neck guy so it's time for this to go. It's in absolutely great condition for its age, with only the one wee ding in image number 9. Recently had a setup with my main man Alec, and it's strung with flats. Obv. 🤣 Comes in a Fender gig bag as pictured. Not really looking for a trade as I'm intending to finally get an ACG, or a short scale Rickenbacker. Welcome to try it out, and PM me about meeting halfway somewhere. Based in the South of Scotland in Dumfries.-

How was your open mic or jam night last night?
TrevorR replied to tauzero's topic in General Discussion
Fun time at the Surrey Country Roots Jam last night. Bass players were thin on the ground with a couple of last minute drop outs, so I ended up playing a few tomes. I was down to play four tunes - one of which I’d suggested and three more I was asked to play or had previously volunteered for. Then I got roped in to play with a guy I kinda know from another jam - he’s “a character”and so I played an impromptu, in the wrong key version of Springsteen’s The River and then Country Roads (both hanging on by the seat of my pants). Best thing was, when I first sat down I saw another bass player off to my left who seemed vaguely familiar. However, with that whole “seeing someone you know but in the wrong context” thing, I just couldn’t place him… a which point, he waved and said “Hi”. Of course, it was @Happy Jack who had come along to check the jam out and see what the standard was and the split between proper old school country, country-pop and the seriously betasseled brigade. So good to see him and sit and chat. He ended getting up for one Hank Williams number playing his lovely old Ovation bass. -
Not if you ask questions. Perfect fit is rare when buying a replacement neck, £700 Fender necks come with a warning their official necks may not fit their bodies. Asking questions can save you a lot of work. Get a digi or Verner calliper and measure the pocket or the heel of the existing neck. Take photos with calliper in position and showing the sizes. If you want do the same for the nut width and neck thickness at a few points. Give the radius of any rounded corners if the pocket has them. Forward the photos to potential sellers and ask them to provide confirmation with photos. Legit sellers will reply, middle men with just a stock photo won't 🙂
