Well, as long it's in 2027...

Keep them for another 20 years and then sell them to add to your retirement fund? Mark

What happens when they inevitably spend their winnings on bass gear? 😂

Surfing With The Alien - Joe Satriani

The Joyo BA-30 might be a better bet for desk use?

I have the BG-75 (the older one with DC input), they're for home practice and playing along with acoustic guitars really so may be perfect for your acoustic circle, especially given the BG-80 can be powered by a decent power bank. They sound great in this application and although I own some very nice small rigs the PJB is my favourite, they get a full sound due to the passive radiator design (that's the "something clever" bit you wondered about!) so need to be placed in front of a solid object, they don't sound half as good in the middle of a room and the low end drops out. You're going to be disappointed if you expect anything more from them tbh, very useful little things and they do sound brilliant if your requirements match their capability. They can also be a gateway drug into further PJB purchases so you have been warned.

This is definitely my year.

Sorry, missed by a few days this year.

Eggszactly.

We should charge £5 to enter, with those still standing next December, sharing the pot.

Tonerider, Classic or the hotter Duke. Hard to beat at £35 and available with flat or stagered poles... Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage £58.

I'm in, although doubt for long... (but am pleased to be responsible for the rule change RE loyalty points!)

Hogmanay shenanigans imminent. Going sideways again. Same rig as Saturday.

You must be yolking!

Yes, I believe Mark was given a bicycle from Santa.

Horrible dirty basses. The others are cowering under the bed, hiding in the wardrobe.

I’m in. Having only failed last year on relatively minor tier 1 and 2 infringements, I’m confident i can last the distance in 2026.

As per last year... ---x--- In. As per last year, I've not bought anything since 2014 IIRC, and I'm OK for strings so don't see that changing any time soon.

That’s interesting extra background and a very good point about Korg making the running rather than Doug I’m still interested in an Anagram. I’m more in pedal-selling mode for now but I think 2026 may be the anagram year for me.

So far I have resisted, but whether I can resist tomorrow, I doubt.

I seem to have been blessed with a bracket? count me in please

I’m already out as am going to get myself a decent acoustic guitar in the next couple of weeks.

That wasn't the worst of it for me. Sure, releasing his own pedals with almost identical construction in and out so soon after the split and not expecting backlash was very naive, that and telling fibs about the reasons behind it (being stuck with "predrilled" enclosures that somehow had the PSU socket in a different position from the corresponding DG pedal...), but when Spencer started selling off Darkglass prototypes as his own for profit because "he designed them", I lost all respect for him and the brand, haven't used anything 3Leaf since. All that being said, the animosity was between Doug and Spencer, rather than Darkglass, who have since become a huge company owned by Korg, and I highly doubt programming a Doom 2 model was revenge or getting him back, its just a popular pedal that's very hard to get hold of. From what I've heard, it completely nails it too.

I am in for Tier 2. I have a De Gier Bebop coming in June but I ordered that last October so it doesn't count. I'm not planning on buying anything else. Amps, cables, pedals, I'm set. For now. My gf and I have agreed that if I buy another bass before I take delivery of my Bebop, one of my USA Laklands has to go. Aaaaaand I don't want that.
