  3. While wasting some more of my life scrolling through youtube shorts, I came across information from Japan. The Japanese have been painting stripes on their cows, but for different reasons. Their reasoning is that stripes confuse mosquitoes who then don't know where to land on the cow. Less bites lowers the cows stress and so produces more and better milk. There, now you've wasted a little bit of life too.
  4. The clearout continues. This thing is extremely loud if you want it to be. I generally have the volume on about 0.5/10 for practise but, alas, I play directly into an interface 99% of the time these days so it is surplus to requirement. Probably the most usable "gain" I've had on a small amp, it adds a good amount of saturation and a little compression without farting out; if I needed a practise amp, I'd just get another of these. These go for a little under £200 and I've knocked a lot off to cover marks on the side and the fact that the fancy EBS logo on the front has gone walkabout. At one point this was living in an IKEA Kallax (in which it fit suspiciously perfectly) and I wanted a clean look. If it turns up then I'll pass it on to the seller with the finest second class postage. Kettle lead included, of course, but no original box. Delivery possible at buyer's risk, expense, yadda, yadda. Very quick demo - (passive jazz with TI flats pushing 20) - I don't like how the demos online all just use the DI.
  5. Too many strings, too complicated for me. £130 collected, postage can be arranged at buyer's cost and risk. Waggle stick not included. It's had a fret polish, a setup and a set of fresh strings since I rescued it from an auction but the fingerboard could do with a few more doses of oil - this might not come across perfectly in the photo.
  6. When i last went they would give tags on the door to people bringing instruments in for that very reason... nice that someone had thought of that!
  7. I dunno for the OP, but for me it would be as much as an emotional connection to a particular instrument as any physical thing. The "I did that gig with this guitar" type bond. Can be a double edged sword though - I once hunted down a Status fretless I had had sold years previously and managed to buy it back. And then realised I had moved on from wanting it so sold it again. Ironically I actually fancy having a fretless again but I think I'd be happy with a much cheaper Jazz this time. But I did once own a lovely Gibson Explorer. IIRC it was a 1983 re-issue of a 76. In white with gold hardware. I did so many gigs with that and I traded it in at Chandlers Guitars - part-x against one of the original 2 channel Mesa Dual Rectifiers. I tried to get that guitar back but the shop had sold it on for cash and didn't have the buyers details. Unless it had been refinished in the meantime I would definitely recognise it!
  8. Sure, but that's not something that started this year, it's been happening over a couple of decades already, and driven by multiple factors that preceded AI, in particular: - decline in alcohol consumption and pubs closing down; - the rise of video/pc/multi player gaming in popularity as an alternative to going out / heading to a nightclub.
  9. At a big outdoor gig last summer... Delayed start due to power cut, only served to help us! Using the P bass... When I do a festival or shared backline thingy I usually take a passive bass, keep everything as simple as possible. For some reason the bass was barely audible on stage but fine out front so that may explain the odd facial expression!
  10. Rock Covers two band a trio and a five piece 2 guitars loudish drummer but not animal Cab to be determined just looking at the option of a power amp on the pedalboard are there any others
  11. I need it. I need other people to buy my stuff first, good luck with the sale! (And good luck with mine, I guess).
  12. Yep. There are too many definitions of reasonable volume for a pub. Ime 200w works fine. I still don't know what kind of band ypurs is or if they are the kind that crank stuff. What cabinet? You put 200w through a 810 and you're going to need to turn well down for most pubs around here. I never heard anyone not call their drummer a rowdy bastard. A little bit rowdy or a lot rowdy?
  13. The neck would have been too chunky for your liking anyway 🙂
  14. I appreciate some may be looking for more customisation, but is the Stellartone Tonestyler not the solution you're looking for? https://stellartone.com/#menu
  15. Home improvements are out of the scope of this challenge. But once you start buying gear to fit out the home studio, that's when things would get relevant.
  16. It would be interesting to hear a demo of the range of sounds from this bass - including what it sounds like unplugged. I’ve had a quick look and nothing seems to exist on the Internet. Your chance to make history… CB
  17. I’m the only bass player at our local jam nights/om nights. I’d advise you to start with OM and tell the host you’d like to team up with someone and agree something to learn for next time. Also take your bass anyway so guitards approach you to team up. Speak slowly to them is my advice and if you write anything down, avoid joined-up
  18. ...so just theoretically speaking, if I remortgaged to build a home studio what level of fail would that be?
  19. Now price can be negotiable! 😀
  20. Now price can be negotiable! 😀
  21. I think the Anagram would replace your whole board and you won’t find a need for the Capo, the io of the capo is the first thing the anagram replaces, it’s got the Alpha Omicron in it, octavers are some of the best I’ve heard and the compression options are really flexible. Buy it from somewhere with a relaxed returns policy and see how you go.
  22. Today
  23. Mule Train - Bob the Tray
  24. Little Donkey - Nina & Frederik
  25. As I suspected, it’ll be The Pass from me.
  26. Ah .. a sight for sore eyes 😜
