    Very nice indeed, GLWTS.

    We still roll out Stormbringer at selected gigs. I would have said we don’t do much DP, but expanded out to associated bands over the years we have actually done quite a few

    In principle yes, I work shifts mind, but it's a nice idea.

    Of the 3 basses I own I would hesitate to use my favourite one on a pub gig. Why? Because like a child and some Lego I'm embarrassingly attached to it. One day I'll grow up and get over it 😂

    Selling this bass as I originally picked it up as a backup to my main touring 4 string, a white MM with all the same mods. They’re both great basses but I don’t have as much need for a direct duplicate as I used to and it’s too good to be sat around not being played. I had it re sprayed with this smokey black burst which maintains the look of the natural grain. It’s picked up some nicks and scuffs which I’ve pictured. I love the way it looks and sad to let it go. The neck has a beautiful flame to it and it and the fretboard are unblemished. Fitted with a John East MM preamp, hipshot drop tuner and schaller style strap locks, otherwise all original and in great condition. Will ship in UK for £30 or meet in London area. Open to offers and happy to answer any questions. Thanks! James

    Yes - My EBMM USA Sterling 4HH is my do everything bass at the moment. I do have others that have, in the past, also been my do everything bass. It goes to all my gigs where ever they are. It gets checked in as hold luggage on crappy airlines. It gets left unattended at venues for hours while we're off doing other things. They don't make them anymore and they seem very rare on the secondhand market, particularly with matching headstock. It is insured. Luckily I haven't needed to test that insurance yet.

    Boss WL-20 Wireless System for sale only. Vgc, comes with a new Levy holder that fits on your guitar strap, the idea being I was going to fit a short cable and keep the unit out of harms way but I never use it. £85 posted to UK mainland or collect from Paisley

    Thanks for the advice, I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s experienced something like this. I’ve just tried swapping around the outputs and unfortunately it hasn’t helped. I’ve ordered a new power cable for the HX Stomp, to see if that helps. If not I’ll have a look at the Joyo. Thanks!

    Here is my Sire P5 bass for sale. Alder body, roasted maple neck, 42 mm nut width, bone nut, weight is 4 kg or8.9 lbs. Bass is in very good condition just one small mark on the very end of the headstock. As the front and side dots were black and I couldn`t see them due to the roasted maple, I have fitted stickers on the face of the board and luminous stars that glow on a dark stage on the top edge. I will include a gig bag as well. Collection from Paisley or meet up within reason only.

    As it's my only bass, that would be a yes.

    Sounds crazy. Works very well. I never persisted purely because the hassle of using them outweighs the vanity of the easier glasses option.

    My fave Precision doesn`t go outside my flat. It`s by far from irreplaceable as an item as it`s a regular US Standard Precision but it has too much sentimental value for me to risk taking it to areas where it could be half-inched. I use it far more than any of my other basses as it`s my home use bass so not like it`s a case-queen.

    I found the Stomp could be a little sensitive to being run off the same power supply as other pedals, even if it's getting the correct supply. I use a CIOKS Sol with their own recommended Stomp cables and I found if there was another power-hungry pedal off the output next to it, it didn't like it (even though they're supposed to be isolated). Swapped the outputs around a couple of times and suddenly it was fine, so might be worth trying that? Or you could try an pedal noise isolator like the Joyo ZGP and see if that helps? https://www.joyoaudio.co.uk/joyo-zgp-guitar-effect-pedal-filter-isolated-output-power

    It's been three years since I left the Smoke. I guess the Gallery has changed since. They used to have a good selection. Whilst BF are undoubtedly excellent cabs, they do tend to be an automatic recommendation, when in reality, they're far from being the only option. Stevie on here offers the LFSys designs, which I like a lot. I also play in a soul band and use PJB cabs (with an AG700 rather than a TH head). They work very well for me, with a nice blend of warmth and clarity. The downside is that they're a bit inefficient and you need several to make a lot of noise.

    I gig all my basses, regardless of how much they cost. Instruments which don't get gigged get sold.

    Congratulations on your new bass! My own Stentor took me from beginner to professional, and before that it did the same for another UK jazz bassist. I highly recommend some lessons with a double bass teacher, to get your left hand technique going. As someone who has had several playing related injuries over the years, I cannot recommend enough spending some time and effort on learning the basics of established technique. Other avenues exist, but good technique is effective, safe and speeds up learning in my personal experience. Enjoy the journey!

    Selling off a trio of Boss DD series delay pedals after a bit of a change up. Simple and reliable, a little wear and tear, but all in generally good condition. DD-3, DD-6 and DD-7 available. £90 (ONO) each, including postage, or message me if interested in more than one and we’ll sort a deal!

    I do bring my best (a Status Graphite S2 Classic - which is no longer in production and difficult to replace, especially as it is a rare lefty). It is a solid and dependable workhorse and out of all my basses it does best what I need it to do in the band I'm currently with (doom metal in the very low tuning of A). I didn't purchase it new and didn't pay a huge sum for it (traded a Stingray 5 + 100 GBP). I might have been more hesitant if I had paid the 4000GBP+ new price for it. It's still not nearly Fodera or Alembic money, but I couldn't see myself A: spend that much on a bass and B: feel comfortable taking it out of the house.

    Have you tried just playing along to it..? It's not hard, just two chords, and it's all about the salsa 'swing' and rhythm, which is best 'felt' rather than written out. An intro (optional...), a first riff then halfway through a second riff, and that's it. On the video, you can see where on the neck the fellow is playing, so just listen to the notes around there and fit them in. Bloomin' good exercise in 'ear-wigging'; highly beneficial. Dancing on the spot optional, but recommended. Try it..?
