90125 by Yes. One of those rare albums that doesn't have a duff/meh track on it (IMO of course).

Here's my current go-to. When my graphite neck arrives I'll be putting it on this one to make it fully monochrome, and this Fender neck will go on another bitsa. It has EMGs and an LHZ preamp as it was originally going to be a back-up for my Spector, but this one's so much more comfortable and easy to play that it's my no.1 for the time being. The body is from All Parts I think. It's very white indeed - I expected it to be a bit more cream/off-white, but I'm kind of digging the 80s Robert Palmer vibe - not what one expects to see in a death metal band.

The PBM looks good. Interestingly the description suggests there's a line input but I can only see an instrument input in the pictures.

😄 that would do it!

Put in an hour or so on this bass earlier and it really lifted my week long crabby mood. Whilst my Sandbergs play and sound great, plus being lightweight suit my back nicely, the above will always be my dream bass.

Nice. And already seems to be available and on sale! (one of those 'sales' where it's the actual price?!) £279 https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/251215451631027--ashdown-pbm-200-200-watt-portable-bass-head Personally, I'd go: Elf (£230) for backup and ultra-portability. Ant (£279) for a small gigging amp - not as ideal for being pocket sized backup as the Elf but with a few additional useful live features like mute button, Speakon cable connector would seal the deal for me. Or I'd go Gnome v2 (£215) if I wanted to have things like aux in and USB for home use (but isn't as small as the Elf as a backup, and doesn't have the live features of the Ant like the mute).

The recently departed Scott Adams coined a word for the avoidance of multiple tasks at the same time: multishirking. -

Burying a post at the end of an unrelated zombie thread tends to be unproductive. You should start a new thread. -

Four pedals up for grabs after the purchase of a Darkglass Anagram. Will take individual images later and edit to suit. Will be sad to see them all go but enjoying and unable to return my Anagram and determined to make it work... All pedals conveniently pre-velcro'd 😉 All prices plus £5 shipping or happy to drop off locally Tonehammer DI Mk1 - £160 Fantastic preamp/DI that can do tubey amp sim style stuff or clean and uncoloured. Good Condition - no box or PSU and screw for battery compartment missing but neatly taped up. Line6 HX ONE - £160 Excellent swiss army knife pedal with sounds taken directly from the Helix (has a fantastic noble model). Incredibly well thought out control set with really handy flux FS. Like new condition with box and PSU etc Jam Bass Rattler MK2 - £160 Rat clone for bass with excellent clean blend and second gain boost F/S. My favourite analogue drive pedal, covers everything from low gain dirt and saturation to fuzzy madness Like new condition with box and box candy Source Audio Ultrawave Bass - £130 Fantastic digital utility and sdistortion swiss army knife - billed by SA as a mad distortion machine but it's so much more! Fantastic studio level compressor, Graphic and parametric EQ, dual channels, every flavour of drive/distortion available as well as radge tremelo stuff which I never used. My favourite digital standalone pedal, I used it for a lovely tube drive aswell as a radge gated fuzz and slight low mid boost all on seperate presets accessible via toggle switch or opens up massively with a £30 M-Vave chocolate+ controller. Like new condition with box and PSU etc Pedaltrain Nano Max - £50 Single row pedaltrain which can handle 7-8 pedals. Lightweight and excellent quality. Excellent condition with high quality gig bag and strategically placed cable tie holders underneith.

Cool. Might you be interested in the bridge I’m selling ? -
That's much prettier than their previous version of the Ant

FYI I'm giving a 5 string set of Dragonskins away. If anyone wants a spare set then sort me out with an SAE and they're yours. Used a bit, but I don't get on with SS and fully coated. Cut for an AB

Shame the OP didn't post any pics. However based on the description & name I wonder if it's related to the 'Bass Workshop' instrument which is the B-list star of this thread: If you can't be arsed looking - it's a £99 Korean-made through-neck Satellite cheapo from 1980, which someone's painted black & stuck a Letraset 'Custom Build' logo on the end.

Other than not stating what type of music the band will play, it sounds OK to me as these adverts go. If you wanted to perform original music this might be a good opp. -
Mini board for some upcoming shows, there’s not really a need for any effects or extra drives so decided to slim it right down from the RB Tres 3.0 to a 2.1. I do miss having the patch bay but it’s far less complicated should I hit any issues. Still can’t help eying up the new QC Mini 👀👀👀
-
Yeah, I find that to be an issue on almost all pedals that have presets and knobs. There really needs to be more thought into bridging the gap between 'what you see is what you get' pedals and beign able to switch presets and know what's going on with the knob positions. Something like knobs without markers on them that turn infinitely and have leds around them to indicate the setting position. (apologies for saying 'knob' many times on a family friendly forum!)

The ad was certainly effective in weeding out this old fart! As to ‘who are we to mock’, it’s the Internet in 2026 and everyone’s a critic. -

that would seem logical... they make those legacy strings too.
