  1. Past hour
  2. This box has a set of three Speakon connectors wired in parallel (using pins 1 & 2) so can be used as an extender for speaker cables, or to allow two cabs to be driven from the same amp One connector at one end and two at the other end The box is made from very solid extruded aluminium
  3. I bought this very well upholstered Gator gig bag (current retail £135) for my Guild Starfire bass, but although it fits, its a bit tighter lengthwise than seems sensible, so this has barely been used. It is fairly obviously sized for a Gibson 335 guitar, but will also fit a flying V or a short-scale bass that's a fraction smaller than a Starfire Loads of padding, loads of pockets and a waterproof cover (in pocket 6 on the back, I think - depends how you count the pockets) The padding at the base of the bag can be removed (its on velcro) to give a couple of cm extra space - the quoted overall internal length is without this extra padding fitted Pickup preferred, but I will post it, although I haven't worked out what that would cost, let me know if you're interested and I'll get a price. Internal size: Overall Length: 46.1" (117.09 cm) Body Length: 25.0" (63.5 cm) Body Height: 3.5" (8.89 cm) Lower Bout Width: 17.3" (43.94 cm) Middle Bout Width: 15.4" (39.12 cm) Upper Bout Width: 13.0" (33.02 cm) Exterior Dimensions: Length: 47.8" (121.41 cm) Width: 18.3" (46.48 cm) Height: 6.9" (17.53 cm)

  4. LA Audio high quality active DI box, very solid construction; comes with an instruction leaflet - which is worth reading since the box is deceptively versatile! This works off an 18v rail so can cope with high or low level signals. Power via phantom from your mixer or 2 x 9v batteries Usefully it has a +20db switch to increase the level of low output devices and with 1M ohm input impedance is compatible with piezo pickups The Input will work with Instrument or Speaker levels ('Pad' switch is for speaker level), isolated XLR output for your mixer and a 'link' output to take the signal on to an amp or cab A separate unbalanced output is available as well as the balanced XLR
  5. Excellent solid and versatile active DI box from Canford Audio, only selling since I have three of these It comes with the instruction leaflet Inputs for Instrument or Amp output. Output jack for Amp input or speaker cab alongside. Balanced XLR output to mixer on the reverse. Instrument input 1.8M ohm impedance - so no loading of amp input or pickups Phantom powered off the mixer XLR or by 9v battery

  6. A useful single channel line level isolating transformer for removing hum loops from PA, Mixer etc in a very solid metal case Input on either XLR or 6.3mm Jack - balanced or unbalanced Balanced output on XLR or 6.3mm Jack Switches for ground lift and phase reverse. The third switch provides either unity 1:1 or a 2:1 ratio tap for long cable runs There is a small circuit diagram on the top to remind you what all the connectors and switches do! Quoted frequency range is 20Hz to 25kHz at line level Dimensions 120 x 44 x 90 mm

  7. Otis Jay Blues Band head into their fifth year with a new lead singer - if we can keep hold of Cecilia, we have a bright future (hopefully). Vocals/keys, guitar, drums, bass/vocals and harmonica. Trying to diversify into original material - a slow process - so maybe we can get bookings in blues clubs and festivals. As far as it goes, we play anywhere on the (Deep) South coast adjacent to Bournemouth.
  8. “The 1 SPOT is the original 9V pedalboard power supply that only takes up one spot on an outlet strip or wall outlet.

  9. What a fantastic bargain for someone! Always had a soft spot for the Lexus amps and cabs. - I can honestly say that pretty much every band I've seen this year (roughly around 40 gigs, mostly in the UK) have used 'big rigs', regardless of venue size. Most being small to medium. None of them have used IEMs. National bands have all had roadies. I use a 'big rig' (well 2 at a time if I'm honest, 2x amps and 4x 15's) for one of my bands regardless of venue size. They are alway mic'd as the amps don't have DI outs. The FOH sound is always near identical to the sound coming from my cabs. To summarise, in my experience, big rigs are most certainly not out of date...
  10. Think I’ve mentioned Youths briefly before, but the short version: 4 piece pop/punk: singer/guitarist, also the songwriter guitarist bassist (yours truly) drummist All the songs are borne from Max’s life and experiences but you can probably make a lot of them mean whatever you want. No gigs yet planned for 2026 because we have a bit of a drummist conundrum, hopefully we can share some good news soon 🙂
  11. No Son Of Mine - Genesis
  12. Just bought a Hothand pedal from Stuart - all was good. Good communication, clear photos, well packaged, and quick delivery. Thanks!
  13. Now £25 Simple switcher for 2 basses into I amp or 1 bass into 2 amps Can be run passive or with 9v if you want the blue light to let you know which option you have engaged Price includes postage
  14. There is convergence between traditional luthiery and semi-pro hobbyists. Then there's @rwillett... ...who uses CNC but who also designs from scratch using digital modelling. There are many examples of flexible CNC based builders who can. These Build Diaries demonstrate this. I am just stating this for balance. I think there is room for new tech AND traditionally skilled craftsmen. I like ACG designs purely for their appearance. I may actually play one some day.
  15. Today
  16. It's been a while since I posted a David Hood transcription. Bettye Crutcher - A Little Bit More Won't Hurt
  17. Bastard Landlord - The Pogues
  18. Latest iteration and state of the board. Big fan of Evangelion and Gundam. my Anagram powers the Pirate MIDI Bridge6 with USB C, no issues, noise or dropouts. Board is a 15.7x5” Gokko from Amazon.
  19. Let's Lynch The Landlord! - Dead Kennedys
  20. Thanks mate, the build quality is decent and my only criticism is the action needed tweaking and nut slots deepening a bit but other than that it’s decent! Even the pickup sounds great, I’ve only played it at home mind but will give it some at Rehearsal on Monday.
  21. As always; possession is nine tenths of the law. They were trying it on. Unless you can find some fine print that you were shown and that you agreed to they have no right to ask for something you own to be returned. Floggit quick!
  22. My "studio" computer is a Minisforum AI X1 Pro Windows 11 Pro based with 96 Gb of DDR5 5600 RAM (yes 96, it's not a mistake) and two 2 Tb SSDs (M.2 2280 PCIe4.0) with an AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 CPU, so a super powerful PC, competing with the most powerful Macs, running any big sampling library super easily. I'm using a Windows based PC, because I bought so many softwares under Windows that it would have cost a small fortune to migrate to an Apple environment and I've never been a fan of their planned obsolescence. I also have an iPad Air 13 M3 (because Android tablets really suck) which is working flawlessly with Pianoteq 9 as the app was designed for it and as it is a modelling technology, not sampling, it is very light on RAM, ROM and CPU usage. And I'm using Newzik for the scores tweaking and reading, as, as opposed to forScore, it works in any environment without any issue thanks to a clever approach. PS: My soundcard is an old Steinberg UR-RT2 with really low latency.
  23. In case it's useful for somebody, I found La Bella low tension flats (LTF) to be slightly less compliant than TI Jazz flats, have less mids, but get much closer to that classic vintage tone. They were more compliant than D'Addario Chromes and Fender flats (I've never had the guts to try the classic La Bella's). I like both LTFs and TI Jazz flats. LTFs on the Precision. TI Jazz on most other things (including fretless) apart from a couple of fretted that still have round wounds. Phil
  24. It certainly is, there's always more to learn, which is the joy of it. Pretty much the same story as me, the musicmaster was all I could afford, and I don't think I was particularly aware of scale lengths either! Can't see your photo unfortunately, but I googled them and they look pretty cool!
