  1. Past hour
  2. And sold - thanks for looking !
  3. Agreed on the Hakko. Downsides are that it looks like it was made by Fisher-Price and that it has a two button interface that makes the even most inscrutable 1980s multifunction digital watch seem intuitive by comparison.
  4. Absolutely fabulous, just love the look of this 😍
  5. If you change your mind about selling I would be interested. I’m not far from you either.
  6. Well, something unexpectedly heartwarming has come of this. @NancyJohnson - I can confirm I have now listened to one complete Alter Bridge album. I had no idea where to start. I couldn’t have named one song by them. So, I started at the beginning with One Day Remains. I get halfway through it whilst doing the housework (go me!) and my son comes downstairs to take the dog out for a walk. Now, my lad has never been heavily into anything music wise. He’s been to see Baby Metal with his mates and Kiss with both his aged parents. There have been a few others, but that’s about it. I don’t think he’s ever seen the same band twice. Anyhoo, I pause the Echo Studio to see him out with the dog and he says “I can’t believe you’ve stopped that - Broken Wings by Alter Bridge”. Honestly, you could have knocked me over with a feather 😂. As for me, yeah it’s OK. I really like the title track. There was one other that really stuck out to me. I’ll have to give it another listen. I’ll try and get through some of their other albums.
  7. Me too, otherwise I'd have it GLWTS
  8. Hi @Steve C77, It's loud enough to rehearse with another electric bassist (yes, a bass duet) or an acoustic guitarist with a brush playing drummer. Hope this helps. PS: Adding the second cabinet to tte Blackstar Fly won't double the power as too often read, you'll hardly notice the power difference, but you'll have more headroom.
  9. There's always a solution...
  10. Five, count 'em in boys, just five Van Halen tracks. Jump (94), Panama (184), Why Can't This Be Love? (293), Hot For Teacher (407), Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love (439) - five UFO tracks and just four by Aerosmith (I'd prefer to not include 'I Don't Want to Miss A Thing'). Good f*cking grief. This is populist rock music for people that have insufferable music taste. This is why my preferred station is W-EQX.
  11. Accidents Will Happen - Elvis Costello
  12. Still using this.
  13. They do softwood, marine, hardwood with birch or oak facing. The marine stuff has no voids.

    It was only a matter of time 🙂

    Ah nice one - I’ll have a look at those today, thanks very much. Going by your videos you use dirt in a way I really like so I’m sure there’ll be some stuff I’ll use in there!
  16. The weight for this is around 4.1 kg according to my scales.
  17. Your choices are chinese crap and those mentioned earlier. It may be so that Weller et al. produce their stuff in China (bad) but at least their QC should be better than those no name chinooks. I know, they are able to make quality products, too.
  18. Where's that then? I've never seen decent plywood in any of ours. I'd like to find a source that's somewhere between far-eastern poplar-core with loads of voids and super expensive birch from Sydenhams
  19. Still only done that 1 gig in 2023 and literally only brought out when I need to learn a new song for the band which isn't that often.
  20. Post them elsewhere and link
  21. I have a lot more photos but struggling with file size on the uploads.
  22. In my quest for the ultimate balancing bass I bought one of these earlier last year but was never happy with the sound so tried different pickups then gave up and put it back in its bag. Currently, it's missing all electronics, although I do have the original pickups (no screws) that I will include. I was planning on buying a set of the new EMG E4W pickups but being absolutely honest, I'm never going to use it so it's time for it to go. It comes with it's gig bag and all of the tools required to change strings, adjust the truss rod etc and I think that it's fitted with my usual Hybrid Slinkies. it looks almost brand new, pretty much because it is. I think I used it for maybe 3 gigs at the most. I have already done the thrust bearing mod to make the tuning smoother No messing about so looking for £400 or reasonable offer. I have the original packaging for this so can post it. The weight is coming in at a back friendly 5.8lbs using the on and off the scales method - plus whatever the electronics will weigh. I prefer payment by bank transfer and have done this many times with other members on the forum as a buyer and as a seller. If you are too far away to collect then I am happy for you to arrange a courier to collect it.
  23. Nice. I can confirm it's also played by failed jazz musicians too now
