  1. Past hour
  2. I agree about his tone; whilst he's acknowledged as having done great things for the bass as an instrument, the sounds coming out of the instruments don't do much for me.
  3. It is! She played a central role and was excellent throughout - playing with a smile on her face and clearly enjoying the gig and camaraderie
  4. For sale is the absolutely fantastic GK Plex preamp. The amp sims and EQ on this are absolutely second to none, so if you like the Gallien Kreuger sound this is really good, is also has a great 4 band EQ and each EQ button can be pressed for a different contour effect with 2-3 levels of boost/cut on each (bass boost/mid scoop/hi cut/presence), so the tone shaping options are massive, and it’s really hard to get anything resembling a bad sound from it. It also has a very good compressor which is fully alterable rather than just a one knob job you get on a lot of preamps, and 5 levels of drive which I only used the lightest one, and really liked. Also a headphone amp and tuner, DI and 1/4” out, runs on any 9v pedalboard power supply These are £519 in Bass Direct, it’s a top quality preamp, it’s in a very substantial metal housing. I was going to put it up for £275 but checked what I paid on here and it was £225 posted and so in the spirit of the site that’s what I’ll put it up for. I’d prefer to keep it but as much as I like the GK sound, it’s not what I really need at all for the stuff I’m playing currently - no doubt at all I will have another one at some point. Possibly do a deal with a Genzler Magellan Pre or an AK Fake Plastic Trees (with appropriate adjustments), or you’re welcome to try me with what you have but I’d much rather sell it £225 posted - comes in the original box too
  5. The key word is "quality" digital there. There's a band I quite like (https://whenriversmeet.co.uk/) and I have one of their CDs which is really good on the Hi-Fi, but their downloads are only mp3.
  6. Another Humble Bundle great offer, this one will expire in 3 days. https://www.humblebundle.com/software/ultimate-music-production-bundle-software?hmb_source=&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_threes_tile_index_1_c_ultimatemusicproductionbundle_softwarebundle - Total Studio 6 (essentials) - Amplitube 5 SE - Sampletank 4 SE - Modo Drums (5 extra drumkits) - Modo Bass (5 extra basses) - Miroslav Philharmonic 2 SE - Pianoverse (2 Pianos) - Plus some extra bits all for £23, it's a mighty steal.
  7. Could it be a reputation thing? The new host may not have enough traffic for the pointer to "stick"?
  8. I’d avoid that as it might foul the Flatwound wrap…please don’t ask me how I found that outZ
  9. Grizzly Bass OD/Distortion/Tone shaper - very recently bought on here from @IanA (so I have used his photos and description and linked the ad below). It’s a really good pedal, you can do an awful lot of different things with it - and it does them all really well, but it’s more than I need atm and if I’m honest I just like buying & selling pedals and trying new stuff 😁 I’m not really an overdrive person, but that being said I’m interested in trades/deals for a DCX Bass or a Genzler Magellan DI or Trickfish OD Pre amongst other things (with appropriate cash adjustments). Other than that I’m maybe interested in trades for preamps, low gain dirt or compressors but really I’ve priced it cheap to sell as I know what I am after ideally £120 posted Previous ad 👇

  10. Selling a Plüm "Prototype" DIY pedal - Prunes & Custard clone I built. It's a FuzzDog PCB in the enclosure. Prototype, as it's one of the first two I ever made. I usually build 2 identical pedals at the same time at my first attempt, so I have better chances for at least one of them working. This time I got lucky and actually both prototypes work perfectly, and I only need one for myself As it was the start of my learning curve for painting and decorating enclosures, it's got small cosmetic mistakes like chipped corners and getting a bit too close to the drill base, etc, as shown on the photos. Works very nicely with both bass and guitar. For bass, try Drive = 3pm , Mix = 9-10am.
  11. You get good at doing what you do a lot of, you mime a lot you get bloody good at it 😕
  12. I have heard people say they've cut the silk back with a scalpel...may be an option.
  13. Mind you I think Trace Elliot had an ad that alleged turning up the gain on their amps resulted in nearby women losing their clothing:
  14. I am not on Insta, but I don't suppose Mr Tuah apologised yet there, where his main "audience" resides? 😁
  15. My brother is obsessed with this stuff: https://www.montysguitars.com/products/montys-montypresso-relic-wax
  16. Look. Maybe he was miming but I just don’t think it’s likely. Nobody has ever called him out as a fake for his work with his band and he’s been touring for years but…. I would love to hear his isolated playing from the desk. That would be fascinating. I think it’s more likely that he’s put a live set together of pieces that look flashy and sound impressive but are not that challenging and have runs and riffs that don’t show up flawed playing. That would be was easier than running the whole gig to a click and miming playing guitar. But I could be wrong. I often am.
  17. If that were chocolate, it would be the correct colour. However.......... But I am grateful for the heads up. Thanks
  18. Depending on genre, any physical format is viable, just make sure you have a quality digital option available too. Popularity of different formats varies a lot by country too. Vinyl is big in Europe.
  19. Bank holiday price drop...great chance to get an awesome shorty at a reasonable price. Any questions, just ask.
  20. Today
  21. Then you would need a Lego tractor to hitch it to So, is it any good for plastic metal?
  22. Having some sort of physical media and merch available at a gig allows fans to support bands directly. It's a yes from me.
  23. I've interviewed people like that for jobs! "...and did you receive any positive feedback at the end of the assignment?" "...errr... I did, aye." Pete Townshend seems to be too far the other way, to be fair. Rabbiting away about how Happy Jack was based on an argument he had with his parents about transcendental meditation and the future of live rock music as a multimedia art form or some bollocks like that.
  24. I enjoyed the clips. The whole thing sounds great. Everyone is really good and it flows naturally. Must be a great experience to play together.
