Didn't get a helpful reply. They told me to contact a UK supplier but i bought a set of various size metric ones and its an M3 diameter and only about 4mm long if that helps. Failing that and you still haven't managed to get one send me your details and i'll pop one in the post to you as i now have a few spares. Dave

A FX loop with octave and a little overdrive?

Not really my thing but he seems like a decent sort. What little I have watched he has a marmite kind of humour that I find amusing. Not sure about the claims that he’s not much of a bass player. He’s exactly the kind of bass player I like.

I Can’t Stand The Rain - Tina Turner

Not for me, I’ve got plenty… but for my bass sound. I play in an Americana/blues/gospel band. Bass, drums, guitar, sax, singer with harmonica. There are a couple of songs we’re working up where the guitarist is playing trumpet. (No, not Ring of Fire!) When he does, the body of the band sound tends to drop out. The sax can cover some, but I wonder if I could fill out a little more of the space. I play a P-Bass with LaBella flats through Little Mark and Barefaced, and I don’t want to meddle with the basic sound. I currently use no pedals – I try to avoid any complexity and adding stuff that increases the chance of some kind of systems failure. But is there a pedal than can ‘flesh the sound out a little’? Only a little mind you – I’ve tried a couple of fuzz pedals and hated them. But if there was something that gave a little more grit and body, that might be useful. Any thoughts from the collective? I know very little about pedals so be gentle with me… Cheers, Graham

That was a fairly conventional set of mods when I was younger.

Well, I didn't use all capitals at least. I'm sure Sapko is a nice guy if you met him. I just can't be bothered with clickbait internet personality crap, so I don't watch it.

Thanks for all the advice chaps. There is so much choice out there and no shops around where I live to try things out so I guess I'll just watch other bands that come past and see if there is a tone I like and maybe bite the bullet. For the time being I wont be adding a second cab. Thanks once again

...he says shouting on the internet 🙂 !!!

So important to do the things you want to do together - I have the reverse situation, I am 67, other half is 55. She is going to get out this year, we have things to do I just describe myself as a 'man of leisure' although I have had plenty of work from when I made myself redundant and took early retirement.

MXR Synth. It’s all I have bought this year. 😂 but was well worth the money.

Anything expected from Santa that's accidentally arrived early and turned out to be great?

Little end of year Dec bump, to see if we can get to discover a few more of our BC'er bands!

The shape has a suggestion of an upright bass, so I wonder whether there's an endpin included so it can be played vertically?

I strongly consider covering Wolfpack with Syd Barrett, one of my absolute favorite songs, but is quite difficult to get right as it has a very free flowing structure. I ponder on playing along with bass to the original tune, of course only record my own bass, and then record the vocals after. Just 2 tracks, tenor bass, and vocals, which doesn't exactly make it any easier to do it justice. I am quite likely not to be one of the first to post my contribution, as is otherwise custom. I basically never did any serious covers before.
