  1. Past hour
  2. FWIW I play in a stupidly loud pub rock band and have happily used an Elf and Barefaced Super Twin at a couple of gigs, no PA support, and I’ve kept up with a heavy drummer and two loud guitars who don’t know the meaning of volume controls or indeed EQ (as in they have way too much of my sonic space in their tones too). I am having a discussion with them all next week about being more sensible going forwards, we’ll see how it goes 😆
  3. A little tip I thought I'd pass on. In addition to clearing out my ebay watch list and FB marketplace saved items, today I unfollowed the new pedal/pedalboard threads on here. Pedals are an insidious threat to abstinence, so I thought it best to limit my exposure to them. Sorry, pedal aficionados in those threads, not being unsociable - just a bit of self preservation...
  4. Managed to get through ok in the end on O2 priority, however you could only buy the decent seats in pairs for £210 a ticket (I only need one) which was frustrating, and seats further round far away from the stage were still over £150 so have decided to give it a miss
  5. I have a pair of these... for me they are absolutely the best within their price bracket though I understand headphone choice is quite a subjective matter! I suppose @Hellzero is OK to deal with too... 😜
  6. Joe Perna on vocals, apparently
  7. ETS Tuning Fork Bass 5 Big (brass material) Rounded chrome, 18 mm strings spacing. Beware that the saddles were modified by a previous owner to go lower (but are working perfectly as is for standard B to G tuning, or you can interchange them to go lower on the treble side, or turn them upside down to start from fresh). The shining chrome bridge plate is new and has never been fitted, only the satin chrome saddles were modified. It can be used for stringing through the body. Check my ads. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France (excluding French overseas territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom: €80 EUR (£90 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) and, as it will be asked, the new price is around €200 and they are very hard to source. Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just send me a PM. In perfect working order and brand new condition for the plate, only the saddles have been used on a different bridge. As I've stopped playing bass and focusing on piano only, I'm selling surplus to requirement. Don't hesitate to ask for more details, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

  9. I get very close with a couple of different combinations of pedals I have: Fairfield The Accountant compressor and a clone of Fairfield Barbershop drive Boss BC-1X and Jupiter Jive But they both need quite a bit of additional EQ and I wish I could get it in a single small pedal. The Vulf Compressor plugin is brilliant for it of course, but it's a plugin only. I wish they'd do something with a pedal brand and get it in pedal format.
  10. Nice and clean. What do you use the Ampero Switch for?
  11. I don’t whether that person even exists. She is known for doing a lot of that stuff herself and has mentioned that she had built her kit for this tour. She would obviously have a tech for any tour, but I’m not sure whether that tech is specific to her. Interestingly, the article didn’t say whether she is sticking with TAMA or going the DW route. I guess we’ll find out in due course.
  12. Great! Always a bit stressful when the courier has it! Enjoy!
  13. Yeah anything that leaves has to have a receipt from the stand you bought it from or a tag when you go in which is a good idea.
  14. Priority at the O2 cheapest £325. I’ll have to live on the memories…
  15. Sod 'em, as long as I can hear it 😁
  16. That's fine if the bass is going through the PA. But if your combo is also providing sound for the audience, they're not going to hear any mids/highs at all because they're all being directed to the ceiling. And we all know: no mids = mush.😀 You can always raise the combo close to ear level, but then you're going to lose LF reinforcement.
  17. TC Corona Chorus, versatile chorus with the brilliant Toneprint option £50 delivere ** DOES NOT WORK WITH A BATTERY Only 9v power supply **
  18. A slight change to my pedalboard with the addition of the Lusithand F1 filter preamp. It’s so nice to be able to create those thick Wal tones with this addition❤️
  19. Stunning bass, and excellent playing. 👏
  20. Go for it! 😀
  21. Bought a lovely Sandberg short scale from @Sweenyrod - a great transaction all around - brilliant comms, fast shipping, all properly tracked etc. and very well packaged too. I would definitely buy again. Trade with confidence 👍 Thank you!
  22. Whereas XTC, Tears For Fears and FGTH can bang out Steven Wilson reissues (including remixed albums, ATMOS/DTS mixes) for sub £30.00. Pricing on these Super-duper deluxe boxsets are bonkers. Queen, Kiss, Rush etc. all guilty. Elderly fans (because lets face it, we're all nudging 60) have oh so deep pockets.
  23. I keep buying these as I love them, but keep needing to sell for other things. Once I sell my Bergantino head, im going back to EBS amps which have it built in (albeit much simpler) Probably the best value for money compressor you can get. This is the third "Studio Edition" of the legendary EBS comp, which features the classic three modes Tube SIM - adds a lovely warmth and Thickness to the mids. Great for Growly rock tones. Multi band - compress the highs and lows seperately,tames the high end snaps and leave the low end a bit less compressed for depth and clarity. Great for equalizing between a finger and slap tone. Normal - the classic EBS sound found on their amp heads. Nice Transparent tone,that gently evens the tone, without adding Colour This comp is a great choice for people that want variety and great tone, but very easy to use. This is in fantastic condition, with Velcro on bottom. £80 incl UK only delivery

  24. I wonder if people had similar discussions when the self-playing 'pianola' was invented.
  25. I would be worried if I'd trained as a mastering engineer, or was a commercial jingle/advert music maker or made background music for TV/games etc. those aren't careers that are going to be around in 10 years. People making original music recordings are going to be up against more competition, but AI can also help them and there hasn't been much £ to make a living purely in recording music for a while now so I'm not sure if it'll make a huge difference. They make £ performing and merchandise, I doubt AI will make much of a dent in that. Live performers haven't got much to worry about, and people that just like playing instruments have nothing to worry about. I'm not worried as someone who enjoys playing instruments with a band and pub gigging. People have had the option of just listening to recorded music at home for over a century but they still want to go out and see live music and have that human connection (all be it less so then previously). I wouldn't mind for musicians to go right back to the folk type 'turn up to a pub with an instrument and all have a sing along' stuff, everyone being part of it, I've no interest in being seen as anything special up on a stage.
