    First of all I don't think getting a trained electrician to look at all your leads once a year is a bad idea particularly if you are not a technical person yourself. If they are PAT testing thenthey are also handling and looking at your leeds and are more likely to spot something dodgy than you are. It won't spot everything but it will improve your odds. If everyone on Bass Chat did it then it might only avoid one injury a year (I have no data, so this is an entirely made up no) but that might be a decent pay off. Just Saying. As to house wiring in venues, I've had numerous mild shocks and the occaisional 230V from poor wiring. I've found sockets entirely incorrectly wired but more frequently floating earths. You have no guarantee that all the sockets in a room are wired to the same circuit, The wires have resistance especially if there are a number of poorly wired joints in the circuit. The end result is an earth that is considerably higher than 0V which is fine if everything you use is connected to the same earth and nothing goes wrong. Big buildings also have three phase mains inputs and the sockets can be on separate phases giving a voltage difference between them. they shouldn't be next to each other but in old buildings someone will have taken a short cut wiring in an extra socket. Anyway I've measured 45V difference between earths which is plenty enough to make a little spark between lips and mic. I always run our gear off a single socket meaning that they are all earthed to the same point. We only draw around 5A with everything plugged in so a 13A socket and 30A ring main is going to be fine with the load

    Yeah, they're great aren't they. I've seen them once before and had a chat with the bassist, who I recall as a super nice chap. Turns out, having consulted the history books, that gig was a support slot for Medeski Martin & Wood at Under the Bridge in April 2014! Where does time go. Must check them out again.

    Right got these delivered today: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007364416737.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008878641286.html Just tested each for 10 minutes or so at a decent volume, both work just fine. You don't need the adapters on the selectable voltage one as the default barrel tip is 5.5mm x 2.1mm so fits the Double Four perfectly, will do some more rigorous testing over the weekend. Next step is waiting for some flat elastic bungee cords with hooks to arrive and getting them shortened at work so I can secure both my power bank and Fishman Platinum Stage to the side and have a completely cable free practice amp! Shame the new versions of these aren't DC powered as they make a super neat portable amp.

    Hi, Is this still available? Cheers, ash

    I’m guessing it will rely on processing power. HX stomp/XL and One might miss out..

    If I was in the market for a mid-priced P I would definitely be looking at the Bass Centre’s Bass Collection range. Some chums have them and they’re very impressive. https://www.basscentre.com/bass-collection-power-bass.html Mind you, this Neil Murray signature also looks sweet. A bit higher priced than the price range you’re looking at but still. Mmmmmm… https://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bbm-snakebite.html

    Yes I visited PMT in Portsmouth for years and it just got more and more disappointing until it died a rather predictable death. Even a visit to Andertons is not quite as exciting as it used to be mainly because if I want to buy something I normally source it second hand, and while the boutique section is fun to have a gander at I don't think I would ever spontaneously buy something that expensive (famous last words!). I think the trick to bricks and mortar shops is to diversify. I like "Guitar and Beans" in Leiden, and as others have mentioned this is not the only coffee/music shop combination. My business plan would be to open a second hand musical instruments plus coffee (not second-hand!) shop, probably aiming to get 80% of the revenue off the coffee by making it a place for muso's to hang out, although it would probably need to be in a University town to be succesful. Having it big enough to run live nights and maybe have a small bar would probably be needed too. Sadly there is simply too much available on line for a traditional retailer to survive selling new gear anymore.

    Aldi use what look like little e-paper displays, so the display doesn’t even need a battery - they must have some sort of programmer to plug it into then it just sits there showing what it was programmed to forever, or until reprogrammed. If you multiply the number of Aldi stores by a few hundred labels per store, they probably got a fairly good price per unit on them, and no longer have to pay for paper labels and printing.

    Lol! I guess I should use a Kemp-er too..... but I have a Stomp, which I've Taylor-ed- to my liking!

    I don't get the urge to make amps look pristine but make guitars look relic'd. I love the look of a relic"d amp. Amps have a far harder life than guitars on the road. This one looks superb. I'd leave as is. GLWTS

    Decided to sell individually as well as possible job lot(s) £120 for all 14 pads or £15 each plus postage. Thanks
  28. cd_david
    U.K. postage is around 70 on Shiply so would let this go for £400 delivered Thanks

    I have owned one of these in the past. Don't be put off by the shape - I found mine surprisingly ergonomic - it balances well and the top edge of the body formed what I can only describe as a "shelf" for my forearm to rest on. Really quite pleasant playing experience, and sounded good too. I felt enriched and enlightened by the experience of owning and playing one. And yes, you feel like a bloomin' rock god when you're playing it - you will throw shapes and pull faces. GLWTS!

    Hologram Dream Sequence, from one of the very first runs. Very clean : has lived in my smoke-free and pet-free studio. Ships with original box and manual. No power supply, but runs off standard 9v pedal board power. https://www.hologramelectronics.com/dream-sequence?srsltid=AfmBOoobS5vs9BLszR9Tk8O5gvnNro8_cT-3RJkUM4RGQXT4Q3QHsco4

    Unused, mint pedal. Only used once to test it before listing. Purchased for a project but ended up not using it. Price includes shipping in the UK JHS' blurb below! The JHS Emperor V2 is a true analogue bucket brigade Chorus and Vibrato Pedal with tap tempo and expression control, waveform selection, TRS stereo output and active EQ. The Emperor is a vintage style effect that absolutely nails the hard to find sound of the Arion SCH-1 stereo chorus but its also a do it all modulation solution whether you want a subtle sheen, convincing rotary simulation or seasick vibrato, vibrato mode removes all the dry signal for true pitch modulation (Boss VB-2 style). It utilizes a Bucket Brigade 3207 chipset to deliver the warmth of '80s style analogue chorus pedals with enough control to put you in command of every aspect of the Emperor’s voice. The tone control has been improved by using an active EQ that functions as a tilt, noon is flat, turning to the left boosts highs and cuts lows while turning right boosts lows and cuts highs giving much more tone shaping capability without losing any low end sometimes found with chorus/vibrato pedals. Control the rate of the effect with either the speed knob, tap tempo footswitch or through the side mounted jack, the jack allows you to plug in an external tap tempo controller or an expression pedal for variable control in real time (side mounted switch selects between tap switch or expression pedal in), you can even slave the pedal to other tap controlled pedals for rhythmic consistency across all your effects (e.g. JHS Panther Cub Delay and Unicorn pedals). The Depth knob controls the amount of modulation, a switch selects between chorus and vibrato effects and a waveform switch selects between sine, square and triangle waveform types. The JHS Emperor V2 has a hidden stereo trick up its sleeve, plugging a TRS splitter cable in to the output jack will give true stereo output for use with two amps. An internal switch changes from buffered to true bypass operation, the high quality buffer helps drive long cable runs and complex pedal setups while restoring high end loss. Whether spreading its warm tones or icy sheen to a pristine sounding stereo rig or utilising an external expression pedal for realistic rotary speaker sounds on a blues gig, the Emperor can do it all. Features Vintage style analogue bucket brigade chorus and vibrato pedal Switch to select between chorus and vibrato, vibrato removes dry signal for true pitch modulation Waveform switch selects between sine, square and triangle waveform types Active EQ tone knob that functions as a tilt Set modulation speed multiple ways: speed knob, tap tempo footswitch, expression pedal or slave in 1/4" Input jack for external tap tempo/slave or expression pedal (side mounted switch selects input) Depth knob controls the amount of modulation Volume control knob Plugging a TRS splitter cable in to the output jack will give true stereo output Switchable between buffered and true bypass (internal switch) Convenient top mounted input and output jacks 9 V Power jack (no battery connector) Made in the USA 4 Year warranty Tech Specs Width: 66 mm (2.6") Length: 122 mm (4.8") Height (excluding knobs): 41 mm (1.6") Power Draw: 57 mA Manufacturer Part Number: 650415211869 UPC-A: 650415211869
