  1. Today
  2. Rats, I was in Hay about three weeks ago and didn't realise there was a guitar shop there now. <checks google maps> Bollocks, Mrs Zero wanted to walk through the castle from the car park to Shepherds (ice cream) and Kilverts (pub), and then through the castle back. If we'd walked from or to the alley from the car park, we'd have passed right by it. Oh well.

  4. Yesterday
  5. The iReal Pro website suggests you can use an Android emulator to run it on Windows. i haven’t tried this as they do a proper Mac version 😎
  6. The bass I've had the longest is my Yamaha BB800, which I bought second-hand in 1979 from the estimable Charlie Carter, who ran the Sounds Acoustic music shop in Chester Rd, Manchester. The instrument I've had the longest is the English concertina that I started to play in 1974. 50 years this year. Kin 'ell.
  7. Just had my first rehearsal with the B2-Four. Seems to work really well. I prefer this over the B1-Four and my old B3(n). What really surprised me was i had it running off a small power bank and it seemed to drop around 10% per hour. So i went home with still just over 60% charge. Not as convenient as having internal batteries but i might use this rather than the supplied PSU.
  8. This is ace. Sadly way out of my price range and needs. I’m not really a P guy but I’d make room for this! Buys lottery ticket, what the hell!
  9. Beautiful. And a textbook example of an ad selling a bass. GLTWS! Personally, my resistance to a 5 string version of this is wavering badly….
  10. A lot of 70s P's and J's seem to have misaligned necks like this. Is that something that can be easily fixed, or is it not something to be concerned about?
  11. Oh I feel your frustration here! Our journey hasn't been an overnight success - it's taken us nearly 18 months to get to a consistently balanced FoH sound with this current line up. And even that's a first with any of my bands over the years. Are you the band leader in your crew? Are you the only one who's bothered about the situation? Is getting louder impacting on how the band's being received - I mean it is a common trick to start at a lower volume and build up once audiences have got used to the volume, but obviously within reason! From what you've said there is a solution, but not one that's going to get a smile from the drummer: ask him to (i) not increase volume during a gig or (ii) use an electronic kit so his volume can be controlled via the desk. PS apologies to the OP for this side-track! Although tbf at least we've established that this isn't really a concern about IEMs - they can and should work really well when used properly!
  12. Thank you, yes I do love my Gibson’s, but do have others. They are all interesting 👍

    Me….

    Welcome ! Once upon a time I might have made fun of Gibson basses but today an SG and LPDC Jr are two of my most played basses. You have some beauties there!
  14. Very, very nice indeed. Big indeed! LD is the best!!!!!
  15. I still have a small Spanish guitar my Gran brought me back from a Spanish holiday around 1966. That’s the instrument that started me on this road. I’ve had my 63 Precision for getting on 40 years now, and can’t see me ever parting with it. Had my Precision Lyte for around 14 years, and done nearly 800 gigs with it. ( Bought a near identical one as a spare not long after but haven’t used it so maybe time to move that one on soon. ) Still got a 59 Les Paul Junior I’ve had for around 35 years, again a keeper. Also a 57 Strat USA reissue for about 20 years now. Couple of years ago I sold a late 60’s Marshall 18 watt combo I’d had over 45 years ( I think) as I had an offer for it I couldn’t refuse.
  16. My First fender. I hated every minute of working in bejams over the summer in 1982 after leaving school, but I was doing it to buy this new from Rockbottom in Croydon for £260. It was actually made up of two separate basses in the international colours series — I asked if they could get one in with the body like the cherry sunburst precision (that had a rosewood fretless neck) and a fretted maple neck like the one on a yellow precision. After confirming that this was a serious enquiry, they took the two basses into their workshop for ten minutes and came back with the necks swapped. I was eighteen at the time and had never played a real fender before so I had no idea that a precision bass really shouldn't weigh as much as a small elephant. It currently has an EMG Geezer pickup & electronics, and a Fender High Mass Bridge. It sounds fantastic, but can't compete with my JMJs for comfort.
  17. For clarification, the Streamliner also operated the tubes at 300V.
  18. A breath of fresh air for music in the UK, and another TV producer that thought the music wasn't enough!
  19. My oldest bass is my Rob Allen MB2, which I’ve had for coming up 10 years. My oldest instrument is my Simon & Patrick Rosewood Pro, acoustic guitar, which I’ve had for nearly 30 years.
  20. Lovely analogue chorus, dead simple interface. In outstanding condition. With all original packaging. Stock photo as placeholder. Pictures of my unit to follow. Actual postage costs to be added.
  21. I keep coming back to this... If I can sell a bass I currently have listed, I will have to give it a try!
  22. Well Newcastle ideally but I could make Leeds work. It's about time I visited my brother.. I'll pm you tomorrow.
  23. I have owned this exact model cab, which is very clear and superbly engineered.
