  1. Past hour
  2. Ain't Nobody - Chaka Khan
  3. They were losing out to Vinted so just copied their business model
  4. I also don’t gig regularly. I try to play about 30 minutes or more per day…lots more if I do have gigs coming up. I alternate between a band’s set list, other stuff I know, and new material.
  5. Ha, ha, cool... Sounds like a Mr. Bungle demo from the Disco Volante album that never made the cut.
  6. I only play gigs about once per month so as well as whatever practicing I normally do, I make sure that I run through some tunes at a fairly decent tempo a few times coming up to the gig just so I don't cramp up on the night.
  7. Get well soon! Name this board REV M, and make two more: REV S, and REV L. Everybody has extra pedals lurking in the corners: one board is never enough.
  8. Bought an envelope filter from Andy. Nice easy transaction with no problems. Would happily transact again. Cheers Andy 🙂
  9. Is There Anybody Out There - Pink Floyd
  10. Can You Hear Me? - Renaissance
  11. During lock down, to keep match fit, I set myself a task, to learn and chart every song on every Stevie Wonder album. I did that, and then started on Bonnie Raitt and Keb Mo albums. That kept my brain and fingers going, but nothing really compares to the physical effort required to gig.
  12. No it's still available!
  13. I've never been to Bristol, but I hope the fog doesn't look like that! Seriously, though, I feel sorry for anyone who recently bought a Junior Jet and can't buy this one now. It looks great!
  14. As someone of a certain age, and having Bronchiectasis (think COPD but not self-inflicted) I am interested whether any of you do anything to stay fit enough for gigging?
  15. Today
  16. It's exactly as @krispn says. For the life of me, I could never understand why they did that. I hated the tones from the "scooped" section of the travel, and there wasn't enough control in the regular tone section. Replaced it with a wonderful Stellartone Tonestyler, and never looked back, ably fitted for me by Feline Guitars for a tenner. Just curiosity really, I'm more of a P than a PJ-er.
  17. I took delvery of my new GS last week otherwise i would have ripped your arm for this!
  18. Best preamps out there, this one is literally brand new but surplus to requirement at present, note this is the Volume/ volume version (see diagram) no soldering needed just connect to earth and pickups via screw terminals, with original box, the retail from east uk at £180 so this is a significant saving , thanks for watching, I’ll include postage in the UK
  19. Thank goodness it's not just me. I'm not running a business where profit is a factor.
  20. Tech 21 Sansaml VT Bass DI. Bought last month for £259.99 - as new apart from duo lock on base which will be removed. Boxed with manual/stickers/warranty card etc. One of the very best preamp/DI’s out there without a shadow of a doubt - does all the Ampeg sounds and plenty more, from clean to fuzzy OD, and this version has a blend knob too setting it apart from the older ones as you can have higher gain without losing clarity or low end £170 inc RM Tracked 24 delivery Video on the VT Bass 👇

    Yep I was there briefly last November. Was in and out in less than 5 minutes.
  22. I respectfully disagree We have much, much older threads that come back to life, sometimes with the OP involved and sometimes not. There’s food in my fridge that’s older than this one
  23. Hi all. This is a fantastic bass and in great condition. I have never gigged, rehearsed with it a few times and mainly played at home but that’s it. Just finding it’s not really what I am looking for and I am using my Heavily modded P Bass for most of my playing at the moment. For the interests of clarity and honesty there are a few small chips around the neck pocket which I have tried to picture, I think it’s from where the neck has been taken off to be adjusted as it’s a butt end adjustment. It appears that when the neck has been put back on, it appears that they’ve gone a bit tight on the neck plate as there appears to be the marks in the finish around the plate, as I have tried to picture in the photos. It was like this when I bought it from Richtone June 2024, I haven’t had the neck off. This is just in the finish, it’s only really noticeable if you go looking for them and it doesn’t structurally effect the bass in anyway. Other than the finish issues at the neck pocket and neck plate, the bass is in great shape, shows some light playing marks as to be expected but nothing, other than the metioned neck pocket, that breaks the surface, it plays superbly with DR Hi Beams 45’s on it, it sounds exactly as it should tonally and it has been well looked after by myself. All the case candy is still in its packaging. Ideally and preferably i’m after a trade/swap for a P/J Style Bass like a Fender US Deluxe/Elite, Spector Euro 4, Yamaha BB2024x/BBP34 or a G&L USA L1500 or L2000 (maple board) or Lakland MM/J (maple board). Can be swayed by a 5 string version of any of the above as well. Price on the listing is reflective of trade value. Would be happy to sell as well, but have a preference for trade/swap at this point. I am happy to answer any or all questions. Please don’t think that the above list is set in stone in terms of trades and happy to hear cash offers. Thanks. Below is all the information from Fender.
