You are proving with your diagram that has created even more confusion to the OP that you are the one having problems, just see above the mess you've created. I'm really fed up by people like you, unable to explain anything with the correct vocabulary and then pretending others are the culprits. Next time don't interfere with such non sense as the OP was clearly lost and made it to other way round. It's not because I understood your very ambiguous diagram that I agree with all the non sense you wrote. Left is left, right is right and has nothing to do here when the correct words were clockwise and counter (or anti) clockwise, what everyone has been told at school. Period.

Faithless at Lakefest last night. I was playing on the VIP stage after Reverend and the Makers’ main stage set - heard them but didn’t see them as the VIP stage was immediately behind one of the big screens flanking the main stage, so when you looked left from our stage you saw the huge crowd! After we’d packed down I went out front with Mrs Axe and our son and DIL and caught most of the Faithless set. If I say I’d never seen or heard anything like it, it’s because I have close to zero experience of EDM. I was pleased to see a ‘real’ bass (some kind of J-type 5-string) and guitar (Jazzmaster) alongside drum kit, percussion, and keyboards (no doubt with sequencers). I have played Insomnia in a party band but didn’t recognise the songs except for God Is A DJ and a cover of a Dido song. Some of the songs were accompanied by videos featuring a guy who wasn’t on the stage, and who I later found out was late member Maxi Jazz. I have to say the performance was as tight as a very tight thing. Not my thing but I was glad of the experience.

Express Music in Solihull. Rather more geared to keyboards (I bought my Roland D10 there) but they did have guitars (I bought my Eko Ranger 6 from there, the instrument I've owned the longest). I remember dropping in one day when there had just been a delivery and Pete the guitar specialist was doing the unboxings. One of the instruments was a Tokai bass, IIRC a Jazz (FSO anyway) which had an amazing finish, a lacquer with glitter in it, very sparse but it seemed to be really deep. Pete went on to run his own shop in Shirley which has subsequently moved on to new hands a new name, the Bop Shop.

Sad to hear this. I used to frequent their Llanishen store in my school lunch hours. Another Cardiff store I remember was the Sound Centre, who had a white lefty Rickenbacker bass in their window for several years circa 1980. Unfortunately I had no way of raising the required £400.

Yes, i feel the same. From the IEM’s I’ve owned or tried, more was definitely not better for me.

Some more AJ, this time a request from a regular. The complete AJ performance of the tune 'Southbound Traveller' from the 1991 Al Di Meola album, 'Kiss My Axe'. Not my favourite album but this one is great for practising reading notes on the low B string. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/southbound-traveller-al-di-meola/

Help with info on Markbass little Mark 250 Blackline.
Chimike replied to Chimike's topic in Repairs and Technical
That's Amazing, Great, Thank You. I'll get them ordered up, together with the 4 220uf 200v caps in the power supply section that were stressed. My friend who owns the amp said it was still functioning , hard to believe , but worth a go . C5 and C6 had exploded, and are completely unrecognisable. Best Wishes, Mike -
...I played Sunday morning services a few times the morning after the old Cutting Edge (aka Delirious) events back in the late 90s early '00s and we used the whole stage rig including smoke machines just because we could... and yes it's not quite the same on a Sunday morning!! (in danger of name dropping @mowf (who is on this forum) used to play with Martin Smith on the Saturday nights)

Hi. Thank you for looking. I'm selling my LM IV as I no longer use it. I have only used a couple of times for practices. It's in immaculate condition having been housed in a flight case. Ideally would prefer collection but can post at buyers expense Description below copied from Markbass LITTLE MARK IV The new Little Mark IV amps add some amazing features to our flagship Markbass Little Mark III amplifier, an industry standard for tone, portability and value. The new bi-band limiter featured on this amp responds faster and more dynamically to your playing. Its paired with a 500 watt power amp providing impeccable bass frequency reproduction thanks to our MPT proprietary amp specifically designed for bass. In addition the Little Mark IV features a mute switch, and the 3 way switch that that includes the options of a Flat, Scooped or FSW (Footswitchable) EQ options. KEY POINTS > Little Mark’s legacy Since our beginning 20 years ago, Markbass pioneered small amp design with its "Little Mark" series creating an industry standard thanks to their amp's compact size, light weight, along with its signature warm and natural sound. That legacy has been preserved with the Little Mark IV, and has evolved to include the addition of new features requested by many of our artists and customers. > Updated 4 band EQ, Old School filter, 3 way switch Our updated 4 band EQ section features very effective controls allowing you to easily find the sound you want, boosting or cutting up to 16dB for each of the 4 bands to cover all the tonal nuances needed in any genre of music. Additionally the Old School filter cuts your high frequencies and gives a round and smooth tone. The 3 way rotary-switch allows you to choose between a super-balanced flat tone, a scooped preset that drops the mids while boosting the lows and highs - giving a superb slap sound, or lastly the 'FSW' option to control both mute and the Scooped EQ on demand by connecting an optional dual footswitch. > Bi-band limiter Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes. > MUTE / LINE OUT LEVEL CONTROL / PRE-POST EQ switch Featured on the front panel of the Little Mark IV series amps are a convenient mute switch, along with the Line Out level control knob that allows for precise control of the signal sent to the mixer/ PA. On the rear panel is a Pre-Post EQ switch allowing you to set the XLR output's routing to before or after your EQ as required. > MPT - MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in house. Our MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.

I had a great day in the sun putting this together today. It will be my turner of slabs into body blanks and for some thinning for blanks prior to drop tops. The action is really smooth and I’m very impressed for £150. I nearly had my eye out taking the plunge spring out of my Triton though. I didn’t realise the size of it lol

I've had a Boss and two Dittos. Boss (though it was an older model) has features that are complex to use, because they try to add "interesting" and "usable" extras to it. Ditto is more straightforward: Push on, push again to continue the loop. But Ditto (read: you) really benefit from that loop's gonna end light. Even though I can hear what's going on, it is still somewhat hard to find the exact place to make the loop full. Those fractions of a second are too often too few or too many. What I find the looper's best feature: its capability to tell you right away what feels or went wrong. It is a super training tool. While you play you have an idea how you sound, but the looper tells you how you really sound. In the first place it was a nightmare, but now a valuable tool: how to make legato sound legato, am I rushing, or overplaying etc. At the moment I am using a cheapo Valeton Dapper looper with three buttons, but it is not any easier, and it is not compatible with all other pedals I have. I am most probably going back to a newer Ditto model, but... What I love to have in a looper (like in that Valeton) is a headphone output, the obvious choice for private training.

So I've used my Moog Little Phatty several times in church, most often at the bigger events like Christmas or Easter when there are some "performance" songs. It sounds awesome (imo 😂😂). (But you do have to make sure the keys player leaves you the bandwidth...)
