Much as I didn't want to think this was a cynical, last-ditch cash grab, the screen grabs I've seen of prices for some of the different 'packages' tickets are being flogged in, with prices going into the multiple thousands, do lead me to the uncomfortable conclusion that my once-favourite band whose principles as artists I once admired, are quite happy to gouge like there's no tomorrow.

They don’t own their catalogue. How the SW mix of Kings is marketed isn’t really their decision.

Cheers; I followed up a link above, and will receive a bundle of four next week, rechargeable with built-in lipo's. I'll see what they're like when I get them.

Worth the cost for Miroslav Orchestra 2 alone. A bit of a faff to get it 'authorised', with the usual hoops to jump through, but it's done now, so. Thanks for the 'heads up'.

Yep - radio first. All the diodes down my left side are aching.

Played in Sevenoaks on Saturday. My new amp had developed a fault and its replacement didn’t arrive on time. As such for the first time ever I had to go straight to the PA and use in ears. The gig went very well, but I found it a strange experience not having an amp behind me. Ours is quite a basic PA and so we could only put a bit of bass through it, but it all seemed to work OK and the crowd all seemed to enjoy it.

I have to say I think Rush are in it for the money. I was looking at buying their Steven Wilson HD remixes, but (apart from one album) they’re only available in £300 box sets. As for Ticketmaster, they’re just a bunch of shysters.

The first episode I heard was wherecthe Golgafrinchans arrived on Earth. The Captain was in a bath and autumn caused a run on the leaf-currency. I was lying in the endless sun with other scouts listening to it on a portable radio.

Two of them run on about 0.2A, so you could use a usb powerbank.

What was this bass @Stub Mandrel ?

I assume both those portions were yours?

There was a TransitB in the classifieds that would tick all your boxes all by itself.

Faster. Manics

I think it has a useful place on your board and it’s a bit like the TC Spark Booster although the TC does more. I think increasing amp gain is sort of the same thing but perhaps not quite as some of the weaker bass signal is already lost in a long lead and you cannot increase gain on frequencies that are no longer present so I see some mileage in your points. It might also be the pedal EQ points are voiced differently to your amp EQ tone stack. Either way it was a nice pedal and often used by guitarists as a boost pedal in the FX loop for solo boosts

Wow. What a day. So many incredibly nice people. Tried lots of 'first time basses'. Cracked up with the absurdity of that bass synth that turned me into Eddie Van Halen 🤣 Brilliantly organised, wonderful nosh. And then I won the bass... I think I was in shock for half an hour! On my way back, I stopped to call my guitarist brother and he was 30 minutes before a gig at the Earl Haig. Only 15 minutes away, so I decided to watch the gig and give him the bass. He was absolutely made up and says it's stunning and "It’s the bass I would have chosen!! Colour and spec". He promises a photo soon... Thank you everyone, what a brilliant day. Three requests for next year: 1 a compressor workshop to explain how to set them up properly for different purposes. 2 more vegan lardy cake. 3 can I win a left hander for my other brother? 😁😁😁
