  6. These are Absolutely fantastic , units I use one as a Tubescreamer , a RAT and a Big muff , this thing gives you all the benefit of " behaving like analog pedals with blend functionality but with the flexibility of pugging the thing in and swapping the "Pedal sim " for somthing else on the menu . A huge stable of options , And even the ability to switch it from " toggle to latch" for those ... i want my Fuzz in the Chorus only moments, So much versatility for the price , bargain.
  7. The spec says "Bolt-on neck: caramelised Canadian hard rock maple with Roseacer skunk stripe". Are they lying?
  8. I picked up a HoTone Thunderbass 5 watt amp for a song on kijiji. Fairly cheap , it looked like a funky little thing , total impulse buy. I had a nice practice rig , so I didn’t spend much time using a speaker with it , but I was surprised by the time I spent using it as a headphone amp. Had a mini aux in so I could plug in a tablet and play along. I was spending considerable time with the headphones memorizing material. I didn’t want to drive Herself bonkers. Later I found a Phil Jones BigHead on kijiji , the HoTone worked wonderfully but I couldn’t resist the PJ. It’s a more elegant solution. Before the HoTone I had been using a GK MB200. It also has a mini aux input. Many little Class D heads can be run without a load , and have a mini input. https://i.postimg.cc/B68wBfcn/IMG-2672.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/G2358s95/IMG-0060.jpg

    NBD Bongo 4

    Interesting read, cheers. I gigged the Bongo last night. Sounded great and attracted very favorable comments 👌
  11. Just finished with a hour to the deadline. This is the ritual of visiting the seaside as seen by an observer from another planet. Instruments and fx from logic plus Epiphone Casino, Fender Starcaster bass, Fender Mustang GTX100, Shure SM58.
  12. Yes, check it. I’d use a known good stereo lead and a multimeter set to continuity or diode mode and see which one goes to tip, ring or sleeve.
  13. You're not far from Session themselves at Farnham.
  14. Not a grey-burst fan, but that thing looks pretty damned good to me.
  15. If the pickup doesn't work with the amp, consider a high impedance buffer between them. Then you will get good lows. Sometimes a buffered effect may work well, too.

  17. Today
  18. For me, it was worth it (in spite of my occasional grumpiness about things on this thread). I have benefitted from the discipline of forcing myself to work on aspects that I struggle with; of playing stuff that is initially beyond me; of getting ready for a gig wherein the audience (of one) will not just listen to me, but assess me. Again, for me, I was not very good at teaching myself the piano - I could not muster the ability to independently move the fingers on both hands, until I started lessons in August 2024. (45 years prior, I had learned to play a two manual organ; 15 years ago, we had a piano in the house. In spite of all that, I still couldn't manage an independent left hand, so I took lessons and passed Grade 1 piano seven months later). Importantly, I feel that there is a difference between the lessons, and the syllabus, and the exams. The syllabus requires that I (for example) play a D minor scale with both hands, perhaps using the recommended fingerings; or play three of 48 pieces; or listen to and sing back a phrase. The Grade exam will test how well the candidate does so. And the lessons teach how to work on the syllabus (and perhaps, how to pass the Grade exam). So, the Grades don't teach one how to play the piano - the lessons do. In conclusion, I could have had lessons, and ignored the exams. However, after 45 years of bumbling incompetence and failure, it felt like the right time to try something different - and that was Piano lessons, with Grades. It worked for me.
  19. So I bought a Ditto mini looper from Juan Alderete. I’m a fan and wanted a looper, so I bought it from him. Anyway with one thing and another I only just got around to booting it up, and hey presto, the last loop he was working on with his fretless bass is still on there! It was a bit weird hearing it to be honest, I mean he’s not dead or anything but it’s very cool to have one of his loops. So do I keep it? Can you save them?
  20. That looks great! Glad you're pleased with it! I look forward a gig review of it!
  21. Can’t go wrong with a Lionel Loz.
  22. For sale one of the original Yamaha SLB100 Silent Double Bass 3/4 Scale, Traditional Design Details, complete with original packaging and paperwork. I bought this on here a while ago, thinking I’ll get back to playing upright bass, but then the lower back pain started to kick in again and I remembered why I stopped in the first place! Listing it for what I paid for it. There are currently retailing at £8000 plus shipping from Yamaha UK, so grab yourself a bargain. See links below: https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/SLB-100-Silent-Upright-Bass/pidKSLB100 Collection preferred, but I can get this over to the UK for collection there, or shipped (insured) within the EU. Genuine acoustic tone - play many styles Silent hollow design allows quiet practice Full frame replicates the shape of an acoustic upright Super Sensitive Supreme professional hybrid strings fitted The Yamaha SLB100 Silent Double Bass is a premium inclusion to Yamaha's Silent Bass series. This instrument features a full frame design. Closely mimicking the shape of an acoustic bass, this double bass is perfect for players who prefer the shape of an acoustic bass rather than the stick-shaped design of a lot of electric uprights. The inclusion of the frame on the lower half of the body also makes this an ideal instrument for players who like to sit when playing. The Super Sensitive Supreme strings which are included make this a great choice if you play both classical and jazz double bass. Full Description Genuine acoustic sound The SLB 100 features a hollow body just like other Yamaha Silent Basses. This makes the instrument sound just like an acoustic bass and is loved by players for this. The real wood body that is finished in a similar manner to traditional string instruments also helps enhance the tone and feel of this bass. What sets Yamaha basses apart from other electric uprights is their use of a traditional-style bridge. These bridges are cut just like those on traditional string instruments - making this bass great for both pizzicato and arco playing. Unlike other Silent Basses the SLB 100 features a full ebony tailpiece which further adds to the feel of a traditional double bass. Full frame design Other Silent Basses feature a frame which covers the top half of the instrument. This mimics the real frame of an acoustic bass whilst minimising the space. The SLB 100 takes this one step further and continues the frame all the way down the instrument. This makes the SLB 100 feel more comfortable for players who prefer acoustic basses or like to sit down when playing. You needn't fear about the portability however, as this instrument is just as portable as any other electric upright - the frame is still detachable for convenience and easy storage. Electronic integration This instrument offers the feel and sound of an acoustic bass while including features which are only possible with electronic instruments. Tone shaping is possible with the tone control and the volume can be controlled as well. During rehearsals you can ensure your bass won't make sudden noises if knocked. For personal practice the headphone jack enables you to plug straight into your instrument without needing additional gear. You can also play backing tracks through the auxiliary input to play along to. Yamaha Yamaha are well known for their superb electronic instruments. The Silent Strings series also includes violins, violas and cellos. As well as this, they produce the Silent Brass series of practice mutes, allowing you to plug in headphones for practicing brass instruments like the trumpet and tuba. For classical guitar players, they produce a Silent Series guitar too Specifications Size: String length 1,054mm (41 1/2") Neck: Maple Body: Spruce/mahogany Frame: Beech (detachable) Finger board: Rosewood Peg: Custom worm gear type Tailpiece: Ebony Bridge: Maple (height adjustable) Pickup: 2 piezo pickups Strings: Super sensitive supreme Electric controls: Volume, tone control, aux-in volume In/out jacks: Phones/line out, aux in Power supply: 9V battery 1pc. or AC adapter (optional) Battery life: Manganese: Approx. 12 hrs Alkaline: Approx. 24 hrs Weight: 10kg (22 lbs.)
