Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2025?
Kiwi replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
I have a handful of kids in my class with different forms of autism, suspected NPD and ADHD. ADHD is relatively straight forward so long as you can draw on large reserves of patience. The most autistic kid out of the two is an absolute sweetheart and by far the most interesting student in the class. She's always full of surprises and it's absolutely impossible to generalise or normalise her. She's doing her own thing and doing it quite well but I do worry a little about her hyperfocus and staying safe. -

Hahahha thanks @Beedster! I'm looking for a quick sale so any offers will be considered! -
I put in 31dB Decibulz for the pack down and it was still deafening 😞

I might have a situation where I have to use a traditional backline for a bit. Can the QC run enough output to properly drive a PA power amp? 1.4V?

Repetition, tension and release. That's all music is. Next time; increase and decrease the volume and get the drums to go with you, miss the riff and sit on the root for the same number of bars the riff is. Add a gliss. or an octave. They'll lap it up. -

Anyone solder wires into mains plugs?

Believe it or not, a lot of thought went into the design of the UK plugs and sockets... -

There's a place we play I call The Weasel Dust Palace, which turns into a club (we basically play on the dance floor, it's a nightmare packing down around people who immediately invade the band space once the DJ starts) as soon as we finish, and recently they rebuilt the sound system with 18" subs in the walls and a generally bigger system. The DJ is the owner's teenage son, and the sound level as we were packing down last time was unbelievable - you could feel the air moving the hairs on your arms - I had to put my inears back in (unplugged) it was so loud...

I think a nano-sized one will be announced today, based on the hype... The big box ones seem to be aimed at connoisseurs or collectors. Looks like ~6000 were made, with 300 of those in yellow for whatever 'Third Man Hardware' is.

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.-

Even the VM2 has this, and it uses the same body style, same bridge pickup, same everything. I don't know why they don't do it for the standard VM either. One possible reason that occurs to me now that I've done it: The P pickup in the VM5 is extremely powerful and cuts through just about anything, so Sandberg may be worried that users would complain about a perceived volume drop when using both pickups and splitting the humbucker. On the TM basses, I assume the neck pickup might be a little weaker, and therefor balances better with both the full humbucker and the split one. I haven't done any proper analysis yet though - I'm not sure if there is an actual volume drop between the P/humbucker combo and the P/split combo. It might also be that it's just a perceived volume drop because a lot of the midrange gets scooped out in that center position. Most likely it's a combination of both.

Anyone solder wires into mains plugs?
BigRedX replied to Steve Browning's topic in Repairs and Technical
If a screw terminal UK mains plug has been properly constructed and competently wired, then there shouldn't be a problem even if the screws do work loose. 1. The conductor wires can't come apart from the terminals on the plug contacts because there is nowhere for them to go with the cable clamp in place. 2. Even if the screws come completely out of the holes there is nowhere for them to go as they are captured by the construction of the plug casing. I haven't tried this but I suspect that there probably isn't enough room in the plug casing for them to become completely unscrewed anyway. 3. The cables inside the plug can't be moved by external forces because the cable clamp at the entry point prevents this. - Today

Bought a Boss multifx from Ben. Pedal was in excellent condition (as always), sold to me for a very fair price, and another super smooth transaction

Sandberg has an special edition in Capuccino burst, my favourite finish ever, that has this possibility. I can't understand why the TM models has this option but the VM don't, it would be better.
