  1. Past hour
  2. That’s an absolute bargain!!
  3. I remember in early 80's i had to work outside on a liquid Oxygen back up system to the steelworks and it was -26 oC. Even with gloves on your hands were freezing cold. I can still remember the inside of my nose freezing up and my eyes starting to nip. Didn't help that it was open to fields and a breeze blowing across us. This was a call out job during the night when i was early 20's. Not so happy memories working in those conditions. It took me hrs to heat up again in the workshop afterwards. Dave
  4. Thanks for the explanation understood! But as I lean a little towards the "it sounds like a bass" camp, I won't be contributing much to the discussion 😆.
  5. Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.
  6. Brand new DR Lo-Rider nickel bass strings, 40-100 gauge. Unopened, uncut. £25 including postage.
  7. We may have had this one, but … Def Leopard. 😃 Mark
  8. -5 F which is -20 C. Now that is a bit nippy out. 🥶 Dave
  9. Looks like the original version which sounds a fair bit nicer than the more recent Mk3/Mk4 models!
  10. First time i've heard of a Cheap Trick tribute band. Well done and sounding great. Dave
  11. Yep a lot if not most of our Glam gigs are in Legion / Ex-Services or Bowling clubs. Dave
  12. A friend from Alaska said it was cold when you spit, it hits the ground, then ‘cracks’. They said it’s really cold when you spit, it cracks and then bounces 😂
  13. I'm winding everything back now and having a clearcut of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM

  14. The new EMG E6W pickups are BART-sized too, there’s a separate thread on those. Low End Lobster dropped some in to a EHB1005MS.
  15. Nope, maybe on another bigger board
  16. step by step, only good.
  17. Forecast for Friday night is -31C and Saturday night will be -30C. I'll be going through a lot of firewood in the next few days with daytime temps between -15 and -20 C and lots of wind. Not starting a contest or trying to prove anything but this has been a cold week, don't think I'll be doing any skiing on my trails for a couple of days.☹️
  18. Cheers mate . I'll have a proper measure up at the weekend .
  19. How is the budget Doogee tablet working out so far?
  20. 😂 We get -5 here. Quite regularly. But the Celsius variety! You might have to scrape your car windows but it will still start without you worrying!
  21. When something similar happened to one of the big CD manufacturers (PDO - Phillips Dupont Optical) they honoured every one that got sent back for many years. If this is a known problem perhaps the Blu-ray manufacturer will do the same.
  22. Today
  23. My current rehearsals are Tuesday evening (choir), Wednesday afternoon (community choir), Thursday afternoon (tenor sax, jazz group), Friday evening (training brass band, euphonium).
  24. Maruszczyk Mr. Tee - Short Scale Bass (30"). Picked up in a trade from @andybassdoyle in 2025 (super bloke!) - it's a fantastic bass but I'm not finding myself reach for it when I'm off to gigs and it's a shame to have it sitting in it's (included Hiscox hard) case. 5 string, currently setup E - C.

Controls are: 1) Volume/pan between piezo and mag pickups 2) Bass/treble with push/pull on the treble for passive bypass. 3) Mid/mid frequency Originally fretless, professionally fretted by a previous owner.
