yep in my diary too.

I'm definitely a fan and have bought way too many cheapish secondhand so I'll never need to use a Markbass authorised repair service. I gigged an SA450 and TRV102P last night in a large pub to decent effect. I was on the limit however, so really should've taken my pair of NY121P cabs, but just about got way with it. I also use a Markbass Compressore and Rafferty HPF to reduce wasted low end amp power. The Compressore also adds a nice 12ax7 warmth.

Electro Harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi pedal for sale. Pre-Velcroed! £40 posted. -
Dingwall Combustion 3/5 string in Vintage Burst with Maple neck/board, comes with Dingwall Gigbag and is signed on the back of the headstock by Sheldon Dingwall himself! 😁 Comes with tort, black and clear pickguards, is in excellent condition. Got this recently on here in a trade but I am using my 55/02 when I need an active 5’er and I’m buying an EUB. Still in same condition I received it in - linked the listing below it came from, and I’ve used those photos but I’ll update later with some new ones too May take trade PX - 5st J/P/PJ, possibly a 4st P but tbh for me to take a trade it’d have to be a really competitive deal to change my plans as I know where the money from this sale is going Price = £1395 (UK Shipping via DPD for £25 - will be very well packed) -
I tried a Casio PX-S7000 recently. The sounds were great. Action is very playable deep into the keybed given how compact it is, but it is unavoidably light so not for everyone. Good for gigging in terms of weight but you'd definitely have to baby it. I'd have one at home for sure, the industrial design is excellent. Going back to @Hellzero's comment earlier on VSTs, I don't think any stage pianos or probably even high-end home hybrids are going to match the depth and realism of the best software ones. Of course you pay a price in terms of convenience - that's what puts me off Korgs, which are essentially a Linux PC in a keyboard frame. They have huge multilayer samples but you have to wait ages for them to boot up.

That is beyond sweeeeeet! -
We had a really good night last night, with lots of friends there, at a venue not far from me where we have celebrated various milestones with my bands over the years. Just what we needed really. This year's been really difficult for the band with a change of guitarist and all the things that led up to it, plus our drummer's serious illness and us running with a replacement. The band as it is now is really enjoying itself.

Only just caught up with this. Splendid work! 👍

From my own viewpoint, I never liked the ABM series due to the mix of sliders and dials. Somehow this seemed wrong to me and less intuitive because of it. I may be in the minority, but I always quite liked the MAG series amps and the Rootmasters are great. The cabs are awful though. -
Thomann SafeCase 80 gig bag - anyone tried one?

I'm not at home ATM but according to the 'net the 34.25" scale version is 117cm total length. -
You are right - a good reminder. The Casio piano was on my original list, having tried one in Martin Phelps music in Croydon, about three years ago. I need to pop over and try it again.

The Shen SB 100 that I use for jazz and my pathetic attempts at bowing in my lessons and orchestra is a D neck while the old Czech ply that I play for bluegrass has an E flat neck. Not too much of a problem because when I play bluegrass I rarely play anything higher than C on the G string and find it easy to switch between the instruments. As Beedster said above, listening to yourself and making adjustments as you play is the way to go and don't worry about it too much. So far that's worked for me but I agree that it would be a problem farther up the neck and in thumb position.

Nord Electro 4D 61 Keyboard Weighted Waterfall SW61 Superb Nord Electro keyboard - this has all the classic acoustic and electro mechanical keyboards you could wish for for live and studio performances. Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, acoustic grands and uprights Hammond, Farfisa and Vox organs. It even has Mellotron and Chamberlain samples, plus strings, harps and guitars. This version also has drawbar control. It’s a classic in its own right but still updateable using the Nord site and sample library. Included is the keyboard, user manual, mains lead, damper pedal, sample library on CD plus a nice heavily padded gig-bag. I have added a custom ‘half moon’ switch to control the rotary speaker simulation from the keyboard rather than using a foot switch like an old Hammond. If you collect in person I’ll also include a stand. The price is non-negotiable and sorry no trades. It is feasible to post but only in the UK and at your cost and risk. See pics - I’ve not gigged it but have used it in rehearsals occasionally. To be honest it’s been used at home as a piano and the other wonderful sounds have been wasted! Selling as I use my old Korg live as I’m not worried about it being knocked about and I’m going to buy a simple piano for home use.-

Darn. I was at that show… -
Well, I never thought it would happen... I got rid of my Spark amp and replaced it with playing electric guitar through my Fender Bassman amp and using a Headrush MX5 multi I picked up second hand. I started to experiment with the Headrush and it's pretty good for bass too so my Boss ME-90B is put to the side for a while. Well, a nice small multi effects pedal is great, but I wanted to add wireless. I've got a vocal effect pedal too, and I plan to get one of those MXR Synth pedals too... So I needed a board. This is what it looks like today, with space to spare for the synth. I could even mount the wireless transmitter for my IEMS on here but I think that's overkill potentially. I'll practice and gig this board next week and see how it compares to the trusty Boss ME-90B.

Sounds great to be fair. I have a bitsa P that I'm forever changing the pickup in, I really rate the GZR but it's probably not a worthwhile change over what you have already.

Sontronics mic's are excellent for the money and they are a nice company to deal with. I have a Solo and a couple of their pencil condensers. However, many of their mic's are made in the PRC to the company's design/specs and some are modified or part-built here. Nothing bad about that - China is quite capable of making quality products, provided costs aren't cut to the bone - but "made in the UK" is stretching things a bit.

That is what I would have if I had a person that would carry my stuff around for me! -
Incredibly easy person to deal with, great comms, fast payment, nice easy transaction. You can trust this BassChatter

I don't think the neck is roasted, it looks like an antique tinted varnish. Very nice though 🙂 -

I have one of these, I had to get something bigger to fit my bongo, its the only one the bongo fits in well as its got a bit of a spikey headstock. In fact all things fit in it apart from the Sei 42", that doesn't fit anything. If you say how big the mayones is I will tell you if it is long enough -
Set of rack mount bars for a GK RB amp. I haven’t owned a GK amp for several years but they would have come off of either a 1001RB II or a 700RB III as I owned both. The bars are complete with all parts including screws. No trades thanks. Price includes shipping to locations within the UK. I took the photos myself and I am blind, so my apologies if they look like they were taken by a drunk person.-
