  2. I bought this off a good friend of mine and I've had it for a couple of years. It's a fatastic bass and comes with a lovely hard case. I can post in the UK insured for about 20 quid. Any questions just ask.

  3. Hi, new member with an Ibanez parlor acoustic that has an unravelled A string that keeps slipping. Reading this excellent thread, I looked up the Daddario XTB3790GS and wow, they are expensive. I also looked up the gauge of the A string which is .062 and see that a heavy gauge acoustic guitar E string is the same. Gonna try that to safe some money. Any thing to worry about? The Daddarios seem to be a wrapped steel core as well. Please let me know if you get a chance. Thanks Ken

  5. I ordered a tenor ukulele from Aliexpress. Came with a gigbag and strap. When it arrived I had the gigbag and strap but no bloody ukulele! It cost me half of the original total to return it but I sucked it up just out of principle. As soon as I gave the tracking number I did get a refund immediately but not for the return shipping. Oh, and 7 months later my returned package of items arrived at my door for a second time. It had gone all the way to China and then back again! Maybe the return address was bogus? Never again.
  6. I ended up using a PC to contact them to start with. Whilst the contact button appeared on my phone and iPad it didn’t do anything. The contact took me to a ‘chat’ and a real person came on quite quickly. But although it suggested I was chatting with the vendor you could tell that it was an ‘Aliexpress’ person. I just said I hadn’t received what I thought I should and they raised a ‘return’ for me but I didn’t have to send anything back and I got emails about a refund that day and the money a couple of days later. There is a return/refund button so you can do it yourself. I just needed to upload a photo. I did this with the packaging in the shot as it was obviously too small to have the pedal in it. For you you have a product that is different to what you (thought you) bought. You can show a screenshot of what you bought. For me the description constantly showed ‘chocolate pedal AND wireless’. I did buy my KZ earbuds from Ali and that went fine. But although I got my money back pretty easily - the chat person said ‘so I can buy the right thing’ - I’m not enthused to buy anything else from there.
  7. I don’t actually think I NEED anything to be honest… half of our set is clean and the other half is synth/solo octave sound. I LOVE the rattler, but don’t really need a drive sound at the moment and the ultra wave can do a decent enough job should the need arise so feels like a waste of a spot. id always like to get more out of my clean tone, I love the idea of something more amp-like but I’ve yet to find anything that gets on with my synth patches and octave, even the AGS amp trick takes more than it gives… I appreciate the shout on the OC5 @Al Krow, but I’ve had one before and it didn’t come close to my octabvre. I’ve got a Taylor shift too but the octave isn’t working, Celeb pedals offered to repair under warranty but I find shipping to Turkey a bit daunting! I’m unfortunate in that my eyes hear digital and I struggle to move past it. The HX one is purely there for chorus and delay!
  8. Well since the above I’ve decided to leave both gigging bands, leaving me in just one band (classic rock covers, no singer) which doesn’t gig and had no intention of. Still playing and having a laugh, none of the stuff I no longer like.
  9. What exactly do you have in the box? It should come with obviously the bridge itself, 5x self tapping screws for the bridge mount, 2x spare shorter machine screws, and 2x spare shorter springs for E and A saddles in case you need the saddles further back, and spare saddle grooves of different sizes.

  11. Boss RV-6 for sale, this one is mint and in perfect working order, no box, collection welcome or UK insured postage for £8.50 BOSS RV-6 Reverb Effects Pedal Combining high-end sound and wide-ranging versatility, the BOSS RV-6 takes pedal-based reverb to the next level. Reaching beyond the capabilities of previous generations, this powerful stomp employs the latest tech and legendary BOSS know-how to make it easy to get amazing reverb tones instantly. From subtle rooms to modern shimmer effects to long, evocative reverbs, the RV-6 envelops your tone in lush ambient spaces that endlessly inspire. BOSS RV6, Simply Great-Sounding Reverbs Packing the latest BOSS DSP and updated algorithms, the BOSS RV-6 gives you eight highly musical reverb effects in one compact pedal. Add body and depth to your core tone with standards like Room, Hall, and Plate, dial up swirling richness with the Modulate setting, or surf it up with a vintage-style Spring reverb. Dynamic mode automatically adjusts the effect depth to your playing touch, providing deep, immersive reverb that won’t turn your tone to mud. And modern players will love the new Shimmer and Reverb+Delay modes. Dialed-In Reverb Sounds at Your Command The BOSS RV6 makes getting high-quality reverb sounds with your guitar quick and easy—just select a sound mode, tweak the knobs to taste, and play. But while its operation is simple, the RV-6’s sound is rich and sophisticated. Under the hood, each mode includes a huge array of detailed reverb parameters, all perfectly tuned for guitar by the BOSS engineers with direct input from many pro players and sound engineers. Even as you adjust the selected mode with the Time and Tone knobs, many parameters are simultaneously adjusted inside to create the ideal voicing for every setting. Analog Dry Tone and Versatile I/O While the BOSS RV-6’s reverb effects are high-tech digital, you can rest assured that your straight guitar tone always remains pure analog as the effect is blended in. Convenient auto-switching jacks let you integrate with any pedal chain, with support for mono, mono-to-stereo, and stereo-to-stereo operation. And by plugging into the B input only, the BOSS RV6 outputs a 100-percent wet sound, great for working with more complex rigs that employ parallel processing chains and mixers. There’s also a jack for connecting an optional expression pedal, allowing you to control the effect level in real time as you play.
  12. Thanks Mike I was just going on the fact that both of the natural rays I've owned over the years have had satin necks. I have a vague recollection that my Piezo model may have been changed from a Gunstock Oil finish. Maybe my current 95 model did, as it was the 'Velvet Satin' model. Either that, or it's been worn flat over the intervening 30 years!
  13. Yes, very true. I've been the bass player for Maple Road since 2009. I've been out gigging in the Milwaukee WI area most weekends for 16 years. Daryl
  14. just tested it, even I can notice the latency and it sucks the top end out resulting in lower volume than a cable, so all in all, bloody useless
  15. 12 string bass in da house so it is time to experiment! This set up us 'purely' to create the sounds needed for a Cheap Trick tribute but in the most manageable means possible. I'd like to add a bit of grit to the top end, whilst retaining punch/clarity on the bottom end. Utilising what I have (*), I'm thinking all I need is to split the signal in 2 and effect 1 of these to add a bit of grit which I can mix with a clean tone in my amp for live work, where the PA is going to have to mic my cabs. (*) I'm aware that the Tech 21 XB essentially does what I need but I'm not sure the outlay of £500+ is justified if I already own 90% of what I need. I originally had 2 lines of thought. > DI out to amp front input (full range clean signal... the sound of the 12 string) a) Bass > preamp [ > effects out > Broughton (as HPF) > Zoom (OD effect to add a bit of grit) > amp rear input (attenuated) a) gives me full range 12 string to amp front + high passed overdriven (not excessive) top end which is mixed via the rear attenuated input. Positives = only the top end as set by the HPF is effected with the Zoom. Negatives = The full range signal inc all of the top end goes through the front end of the amp. > DI out > Broughton (as LPF) > amp front input b) Bass > preamp [ > effects out > Zoom (bit of grit) > amp rear input (attenuated) b) gives me low passed signal to amp front + full range overdriven (not excessive) which is mixed via the rear attenuated input. Positives = only the bottom end, as set by the Broughton goes to the front of the amp. Negatives = The full range signal inc all of the bottom end goes through the Zoom and is overdriven before blending with the front end sound. Typing this out has made me realise that as I turn up beyond bedroom settings, version a) was going to make more sense... however! Typing this has also made me realise I likely need to get an active crossover pedal and split the signal before sending to any other pedal/input. The Rolls SX-21 seems to fit my criteria... any other options suggestions? I also 'likely' would like to have a means to DI the 2 signals to a PA if mic'ing the cab(s) wasn't feasible... I see me going back to the drawing board! LOL
  16. Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement "case" for the above? The unit comes with one, but its not easy to get the unit into NAD more importantly offers little protection to the Unit. Thought I'd seen something on here, but can't find it........ Looking for something that will protect the unit when transporting to and from gigs - something like the Case for the Allen and Heath CQ18T would work well?
  17. Late 80s/90s models had gloss necks, I don't recall satin being an option back then...
  18. As new still sealed in packs, 3 sets available £10.50 per set including postage. I have been trying various brands of strings on a number of basses, whilst these are very nice I'm going to Dunlop's for my fretted Warwick. To my ears the Eden's seem similar to Rotosounds, maybe not quite as 'zingy' initially.

  19. Reduced to £50. Kent Armstrong Bass Humbucker for a 4 string bass. Circa 1990 when I purchased new and still in excellent condition and virtually unmarked. It's been in two of my basses over the last 35 years and sounds great. I think these were handmade, add £7.00 for UK insured postage.

  22. What a bass here.... looks amaizing,I bet sounds fantastic. 🤩
  23. Common sense. I play with one band where the BL just bungs the leads into a bag and I'm glad it's not me who has to extract them.
  24. @itu I am feeling the call of the Misa quadwave. Tell me more about the Tribass? TIA
