My latest pedal ... is not a pedal at all. I just took delivery of an early Christmas present to myself: an Elektron Tonverk. This is a sample-based workstation / groovebox / effects system, and the effects are most relevant here. You can feed a live audio signal through it, via analogue inputs or USB-C, and apply loads of effects to it. The effects are under full sequencer control, not only in the choice of effect per pattern, but also all the parameters, which can be modified down to the note if that's what you want. The effects aren't specific to any instrument but are pretty powerful, and include the expected (compressor, EQs (graphic, synth-style or parametric), modulation effects) and some odd ones (grain-based pitch shifting, "dirtshaper" overdrive/distortion, and some complex delays and reverbs. I'm still at work (?) and don't have any other gear here, so a full test will have to wait until the weekend.

'Tis the season... Vulfpeck - 'Christmas in L.A.' bass transcription A student brought a transcription they'd found online to a lesson, and the beaming was so wonky that it made reading the thing 10x harder than it needed to be, so I did my own chart. Some nice harmony in here, too.

Damn! Sorry..😱 The feel is great (you would obviously have to set up to your style/standard) and I would describe the ‘general tone’ (sorry) as very versatile with the two pickups with lots of tones to be found and used. I have a headed ‘travel’ sized jazz bass from ACG that’s 32” that I use abroad (and sometimes in the UK) when I can’t travel with my main basses. My standard is 35” but I had a go on another ACG 32” bass and that convinced me that it would/could work for my pro gigs. At first it just had the rear pickup but because of the range of music I was doing with it, I had Alan install the neck pickup and that really opened the range of tonal possibilities. What you’re looking at is a pro instrument that well made, easy to play and carry with the reach of a reduced scale (for me as I also play double bass and 35” fretless). Worth a trip/try if you’re really interested. (Or the cost of couriers which, if you agree on a return policy, is justified, I think). Again…..hope this is helpful🤞🏽🏆

I think you are confusing me with somebody who has an inkling about what he is doing. Honoured that I am mentioned in the same sentence as real luthiers and semi-pro hobbyists, but these people know what they are talking about whereas I am merely one page away from disaster on each build. I am in awe of some of the builds on this site. No sarcasm, no irony, no snide comments from me, there are fabulous designers and builders here and I would love to have 1% of their talent. Thanks Rob

Now that is cool!

Don't get me wrong, those are excellent preamps. They physically feel better quality, and the drive sounds they offer are definitely more '3D'. I just always wanted more mid control from both, and I couldn't get along with the BP's cab sim (and doesn't have an FX loop). I could have gotten around those personal dislikes by adding a couple of other pedals. The SLO with a parametric EQ would be ideal, but the Digbeth does what I need at a significantly cheaper price (for now😅). -
Yamaha SLG100 Silent Guitar, steel string model in original case. Nice condition, fully working. If you're looking at this you probably know what it is, but just in cae.... Silent Guitar breaks down into a very small, convenient carry case. 9v Battery powered, has mains adaptor input too but no power supply included (or needed really, batteries last ages). Headphone output, with volume and tone controls plus 2 reverb settings. Aux input so you can play along to your fave tunes, all without disturbing the family while they watch Strictly. Perfect for hotel room practice while touring. Could be open to sensible offers. Can ship within UK only at buyers cost, (to be determined). Cost around £500 new. Thanks for looking.-

Latest album from highly rated US singer-songwriter. Yours for just £8 posted UK. Now £6 Susan James is thrilled to announce the release of her latest album TIME IS NOW on July 12, 2024. Dive into a world of captivating melodies and artful lyrics that will leave you wanting more. The psychedelic chamber-pop opus not only showcases James' talent but also highlights her growth and commitment to musical authenticity. Engineered and produced by Susan, Time Is Now is a testament to her innovative approach and artistic evolution. With a discography that tells a story of experimentation and heartfelt creativity, Susan James continues to capture the hearts of fans and critics alike. Susan provides some insight stating “It all began as a powerful vision a year ago, an idea that blossomed into what I now offer as a soundtrack for healing our seemingly broken world. In these tumultuous and divisive times, we must acknowledge that love, empathy, and inclusivity are not just noble ideals, but are vital components of our collective resilience and progress as a species.. While there are forces that seek to keep us in a state of conflict and mere survival, I believe that by embracing love and all its facets, we unlock boundless potential and possibilities for a beautiful, unified global future." She goes on playfully, "So yes, it’s this tiny concept that inspired the album." -

Up is my TRB1006J. Recently bought a high end 6 and can't justify keeping it. It's been well looked after and had a full service and a brand new barrel jack in June. The previous owner had a ramp installed (very well I might add), there is also dunlop straplocks installed, other than that its all original. I can post but I would prefer not to, I travel quite a bit so Im always happy to try and make a meet up work. Mainly after cash, but try me for trades. Thanks -
Yeah, for me too, but I do get worn out teaching 50,000 members all day.

Yep clicking the date works for me. Cheers for that guys. Every day a school day on BC. 😂 Dave

Good point, but I did say, "many luthiers", not all I believe Warwick, for one example, are entirely CNC these days too, however, they are more than happy to accommodate extra custom work, they just create new CNC files as per the need, their custom shop prices certainly cover it... I was just trying to state that It is rare for small builders using CNC to veer heavily away from their norm is all.

I've really no idea what its for but i see the occasional comment that i'd like to read the full thing but can't. Dave

That's kind of where i'm at. The number of times i've had to move tables and chairs just to access the stage area. Dave

Selling my Tele bass, in all used it for no more than 10 minutes after buying it. Its in mint condition cannot see a mark on it, has all protective plastic on pick guard and tuners still attached, comes with original gig bag and the bag candy too. Purchased to try and trigger a push back into playing again earlier in the year but it didn't hit the spot for me, just didn't get on with the slab body. Selling it as I am picking up my Nate more and more, would like this to fund a LB30 2.n. I am based in Ipswich for those wishing to collect, if not happy to send at buyer’s expense. I am heading to Derby on Saturday so can meet up on that route if it helps.
