Sadly, circumstances being what they are, I'm now a definite can't rather than a maybe.

Yeah I put up a few items last week or so, collection only. -
There was nothing "curt" in my post. The guy "in the shop" might be a better judge, which is why I put "seems to me", as an indicator that this is my opinion and I could be wrong. The fact remains, in this thread several people have taken their business elsewhere "due to poor communications". He may know his business, his business might be thriving, but it still seems to me, clients going elsewhere because they simply didn't get a reply, is not good thing for a business.

I`m the same, plus inevitably when I speak to someone on the phone I forget one or more of the things I wanted to speak about.

Zoom Ultra Fuzz UF-01: Had one years ago and had some nostalgic curiosity. Just as good as I remember and not super keen to get rid, but there's other things I want and with 85 DIY pedals on the shelves, I have a strict one in one out policy on branded pedals... For those who don't know, the ultra fuzz was something of a hidden gem - often very wrongly considered a fuzz factory clone, it's absolutely anything but. Can do noisy squeals but also does very rich dense heavy distortion. This one is in absolutely immaculate condition, with box. Price is £125 and includes postage with adequate insurance. Pickup available from Sheffield or Leeds also an option Zoom MS-70CDR+ Multistomp Now the other end of the Zoom spectrum, the new version of the Chorus, Delay, Reverb multistomp pedal. Just not using it enough to keep, it's genuinely amazing but I've just got my sounds settled with other pedals. Had from new and never left the desk, absolutely immaculate with box. £90 posted with adequate insurance.-

email may be the least sensible *to you*, but not necessarily to everybody else... I personally do a lot by email, because it gives me a written record and I can do it at times when most shops are closed. I'm not against other methods, but if offered I'll probably take it. If email is not an option that works well for a shop, then do not offer that as a method to communicate? Can't really blame people for using a method that is right there in the list of ways of contact.

Thanks guys Sorry it was a long, and complicated post. I was being stupid. My volume knob was halfway, so that caused me to turn the amp and gain up far higher than usual. Signal to Noise ratio was impacted. As I said, I'm very new to this game, having used my volume and tone on my Strat, to great effect for years, despite being an "everything on my guitar up full" for the first half of my "career" so I thought that it was OK to use that to turn down for some of the slower and quieter numbers? Both cabs are 8 ohm by the way

Well damn it, only 5 or 6 gigs in next year's calendar and one of them is on the 20th June. Don't rearrange it just because I can't make it - majority rules!

That's the route I took. Got a Thomann Rockabilly, black with white pinstripe, from a lad on here for £190 🙂 When first bought he'd took it to some DB place to check the setup but fella there looked it over then asked, in a puzzled tone, "Just what do you think is wrong with it ?". Relieved that the big T folk knew their stuff, Thomann don't ship their uprights without doing a set up first, it was happily gigged for several years. The thumpy thump served me well before I caved to pressure and sold it to another lad about 4 years back. It's still going strong 😎

Some people use email purely because it is the best way for them to communicate. They might have a hearing problem, anxiety about using the phone, anxiety with holding an impromptu conversation with someone, they might have poor phone service, or they simply don't have time to stop and have a ten minute conversation. I for one much prefer email over phone and have done so for each of those reasons in the past. Although I would not expressly abandon a business because they don't reply to emails, it would certainly cause me to think twice about going somewhere else. YMMV.

selling my incredible 1975 Musicman HD130 amp. Bought this back in 2021 and had a flight case made it for it straight away. Was serviced just before I bought it as well. Sounds amazing.-

Screws and washers have now been added from my other donor Sunn Mustang bass. -
Just to add to the discussion - Last week i bought a bucket list bass for me, the most expensive bass purchase thus far in my bass playing career, in a 1998 Rickenbacker 4003 from bass Bros. Answered my queries regarding neck dimensions quickly, delivered quickly and expertly packed. Ive bought a few things over the years from them both in person (Ashdown fliptop valve amp) and online (p basses mainly) and never had an issue.

My big beef with my band. Waiting for the guitarist to tune up, find his plectrum etc, waiting while the drummer drinks his pint or searches for his sticks on the floor (get a stick bag fer cryin out loud). I'm a big fan of 3 songs back to back, pause for 'hello and we are' type chat then straight in with the next 3 songs. My bandmates don't get it, so I've given up. I once went to see Gladys Knight and the Pips and THAT was a proper performance with everything to time and script and no gaps between songs unless they were planned and even then there was some background music being played. I suppose some might say that it's too slick, but I loved it. There's a pretty good local folk singer I know who rambles on about the back story of each song for a good five minutes before playing it, but I guess that's part of the folk genre

Cort and Ibanez both manage to protect their tuners - Cort by having a complete cutaway (also see Hohner and Sei), Ibanez by having a scoop out of the front of the bass. Neither of them put the 12th fret much further away than having the tuners dangling off the end. The pickups seem strangely orientated - they don't match up with the increasing angles of the frets so if it was a parallel fret design, they'd be leaning over rather than across the strings. I know Warwick and Ritter both do leaning pickups (Thumb bridge, Ritter neck) but they lean the opposite way. Their Veil bass at least has pickups that lean the right way, although the body shape should appeal to even fewer people as it's singlecut.

Just thought I'd comment/praise that I like the ease with which you can send a signal to different outputs/sends/headphones and set up the means to control one or both outputs with the onboard volume. Very useful as I'm about to do an acoustic 'style' gig (with a Bass Uke) and I want a signal to send to my personal monitor (volume controlled from the Stomp) and a separate line to the FOH, which isn't affected by my Stomp onboard volume adjustments. Oh and in my other band I need to to send path A (dry) to an output and path B (effected) to effects send, in order that I can run a stereo / bi-amp (signal split at my frequency choice onboard the Stomp) dual rig; very useful for adding a bit of grit/drive to the top end of my 12 string bass and retaining the bottom end unaffected. Yep, pleased with how this Stomp is working out. -
Went down to the hall this morning. Looks good! The sockets are in odd places, but there are enough and we have extension leads. Stage if we need it, kitchen for tea and the like, plenty of parking, and a ramp for wheelchair/Trace Elliot ingress. I propose Saturday 20th June 2026 as the date. I'll have to put down the deposit in the next couple of days, but unless anyone objects that's the date and venue set.
