Dave, I think going into 2026 blues rock is going to become more and more of a challenge. I doubt I could pivot to a top tier party cover band. Daryl

Broken bones - Love Inc

Telly

It's handy. It's also powerful enough to play gigs, it sounds good, it's got a very quiet, useable DI. Records well. And I'll say it's solid money that the only person who cares about a better sounding amp is you, not any audience you'll ever play for. It's just a solid little, unremarkable piece. As it happens, this came along down my trail cheap, and I like the simplicity of it. And I can take it out of the little cab it's in and drop it in the gig bag for a jam or recording session, and it's easy to travel with (put it in my shaving kit). Nothing about it is really compelling, but it's about the size of a SanSamp BDDI, which is pretty cool.

Wife got me these for Christmas. Didnt realise they both do the same thing lol. And this after me just getting a Valeton GP-50 🙄. FB 200 going back to Amazon.

There's plenty. That Ali-Ex store I mentioned earlier, B2 mould Accessories, no prizes what sector they cater to 😀 Google 1.1mm fine cut file, you'll get similar outfits in the UK; I got 3 hits couple of hours ago. Watchmaker's files, jeweller's saw are another option. Knife edge carbide needle files yet another. Decide on what sizes you need, 1.1mm/1.2mm/1.7mm etc then do a search.

I have a very nice Euro LT5 for sale in the for sale section, if you're still looking!

That was my impression. 3/4 sales must outnumber 4/4 sales by a fairly large margin. Better to shift 4/4 to make room for stock that sells.

I am all for this inside info. But who are they?

Just re-read your OP and noticed ‘read tab fluently’. I think that’s quite unusual, but unfortunately not that useful (in this context). With one tribute band I have had the keyboard player send me the ‘bass pad’ in standard notation, to learn before the gig; otherwise I’ve been expected to learn the set myself.

One day, we'll venture South... which brings us nicely on topic; certain bands might (and I'm blowing our trumpet) be better than the real thing but you can't justify the travel fro the gig!

Jim very kindly answered my items wanted for a TC Polytune. He really couldn't have done more to make this transaction any easier. A true gentleman & a credit to our Basschat community. 🙏

Doesn't let you get past the shipping page...

It’s not about size necessarily, it’s about the sound it makes. For me, it makes the right sound

One day, I will venture North and see a Cheat Trick show. From what I've seen on YT, it's fantastic.

I've been tempted. For £63 with the discount code, it seems rude not to, especially when I sold a guitar recently and there's another bass I've been looking to sell! Let's see what turns up. Should be here on the 2nd. https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-guitars/fazley-outlaw-series-judge-plus-green-electric-bass-guitar-with-gig-bag

I'm sure it works well, but it doesn't really counter my 8 year old thought, there are plenty of more powerful Class D options that would fit in that gap and do an equal or better job. Makes total sense if you had the head already, but if you were actively seeking one for that job, I still don't get why anyone would choose the Elf, unless budget was a real issue (though I'm sure you can get other Class D heads now with more power for the price, so not sure it's even budget anymore!)

Xmas party mood Daryl, works well at this time of year when you play Glam. Dave
