  1. Past hour
  2. Well. I’m glad a big player like Fender can still make something that would shame a boutique builder in terms of nuttiness. I would take a whole day to travel to a store to try that slab of fruit cake lunacy! The price makes me feel much better about my own meagre, frugal purchases.
  3. That’s flipping lovely!
  4. I agree, if I can’t hear myself Theres no reference point and also no pleasure Edit : I like to think “I’m doing that and it sounds amazing”. I watched a phone recording of myself, an acoustic guitard and a talented female singer. I sounded loud to me, but was inaudible on the phone. She’s always telling me to turn up, maybe she’s right I get that phones don’t always capture bass well but you usually get something
  5. Fixed for you 😉😜 Hope something works out for you 👍
  6. This is mine: Sound: I added neodymium magnets to the outside of the bridge pickup. Everything else is stock. Playability: I put a simple thumb rest on. Balance: I’ve extended the upper horn. Looks: I added a bit to the pick guard. The original didn’t seem to look quite right to my eyes. It’s got Newtone “Shorties” on it. I’ve had it 11 years - I think they’re brilliant !
  7. It’s not just one though, this is the norm sadly.
  8. The desk is pretty tidy but the rest of the space is a litte compact and bijou.
  9. Don't knock it on the head because of one bad stage sound experience. From my own experience, the worst time to contemplate your future with a band is 'the morning after'. 🙂
  10. 2nd set follow up. I moved forwards and down, in front of the drums (there was a smallish stage), with keys and guitar, left and right. It sounded better for about 5 minutes, the drums were just drowning out my rig and I won’t turn up because that’d destroy to out front mix, which seemed fine at sound check. There is little or no enjoyment for me if I can’t hear myself and this morning has contemplating jacking it all in, although I’m sure I won’t. Crowd loved it all, so job done. Had a complete blank in one song (Itchycoo Park) and couldn’t remember how to play it, most embarrassing. We shared the night with a mod/punk disco who were louder than us by some measure and one of the monitors blew during our set, which I’m sure was down to them. I didn’t hang around because of the volume and was packed up and home by 1.
  11. I have a black precision guard that’s brand new. Can send for a few quid, if you want it.
  12. Small alterations to accommodate the new Crazy Tube Circuits Venus, so far really loving it. Honestly the HX One, Dagger and OC-5 are there as filler for the current project and my pedalboard needs. I tried making a more compact board but the massive 0xEAE Bass Driver just takes up a ridiculous amount of space. This attempt will upset a lot of folks here I suspect 🤣 Even I couldn't stomach the sideways pedals 🤣

  14. I’d definitely be shortlisting Sandberg. Any G&L P-J basses fit the bill?
  15. I’ve tried to be funny in German and it went badly. You’re more successful than me

  17. Wet. Up early to drive to Lancashire from Surrey to play the Wafsville Country Music Festival. Traffic meant we arrived with 25 minutes to spare before going onstage, which was great in terms of not hanging around in a soggy field to be fair but we were slightly on edge… The rain set in as our set progressed so the crowd noticeably thinned as they sought the cover of the bar area at the back of the field. Onstage sound was very boomy, as it was lit front apparently, so we come away feeling like we hadn’t quite played our best. But on the whole it was fun, the first full-band Katy Hurt gig since mid-July and we have another (much closer to home thankfully) in 2 weeks. Bass was of course the ACG, amp was the provided Ampeg SVT3 into a knackered 4x10 cab. Shoes were my brown suede Chelsea boots which now need a good drying 🤓
  18. Today
  19. I wouldn’t have written it, if he was. Seems like my take on humour wasn’t very successful. Sorry for that.
  20. Sold a pedal to Bert. Great comms, quick payment, and hassle free. Can’t ask for more! Many thanks.
  21. Price drop now £115! Inspired by both new and old, the AfterLife has FOUR different internal analog circuits that provide 2 distortions and 2 fuzzes. Providing plenty of headroom and a ton of gain, these four selections will cover all the distorted ground you’ve got. While the outside boasts a lone Mode selection knob and a Volume control, there’s more under the hood to this one. Internal adjustable trimpots are available for all four modes, with parameters like overall Volume, Bias, Gain and Filter. The enclosure is 100% Solid Aircraft Aluminum Machined. The artwork on the front and back is laser-engraved, and each AfterLife pedal is 100% hand-wired and hand-built. Collect from Chesterfield or add £5 for UK postage. Cheers! Sam
  22. PRICE DROP NOW £220!!! Here’s my TC Electronic RH450 in used condition. Everything works perfectly - this is a proper workhorse of an amplifier, and small/light enough to use as a backup when gigging. Collect from Chesterfield (5 mins from M1 J29) or I can post for an additional £15. Cheers! Sam

  23. Price drop now £275!!! Fantastic lightweight cab in mint condish! Collect from Chesterfield (5 mins from M1 J29). Cheers!
  24. That’s a nice bass, I definitely prefer that finish to the other one. I’m after a maple board ideally but I should definitely give the higher end Yamahas a try, I know they’re great basses.
