And again Royal mail have failed to deliver, didn't even leave a card, the website says they tried to deliver this morning but no card, no knock at the door (have been in all day), someone's telling porkies.
Just wanted a cheap harness to try out series/parallel but at this rate I might just end up hard wiring the bass in series

Your explanation seems reliant on a) the shipment having the right address on it and/or b) Royal Mail calling at the correct address in an attempt to deliver it. Either way, it doesn't sound like they have lost the package. I use Royal Mail a lot and I very rarely have any issues. Hope you get it sorted.

Why do my private messages to another member get posted on the sodding updates? How frikken rude...

Just weighed my Harley Benton JB40FL. 10.6 lbs!! Now I may have set up the weigher thing wrong but if not... Great bass, good sound, amazing value - and virtually unusable for a crumbly like me cos of weight.

Just had some update pictures on my latest Overwater come through 😍 Not gonna share them yet though!

Paul Carrack gig halted half way through tonight. Hope he gets better soon. Gutted as we were really enjoying it.

Very uncomfortable at the use of Status Updates to congratulate people on learning how to use Status Updates.

TOP TIP:
If you're going to jump off the front of the stage to dance with the audience during your last song, make sure you don't misjudge the height of the stage and end up flat on your àrse. It's not a good look and is quite embarrassing. Errm, so I'm told.

Given that the year is of sentimental meaning to him, do I tell my Managing Director that the 1972 Precision he thinks he has, has actually got a 74 neck and 73 pots?🙄

Oh no.....a bass I've wanted for a while has become available. £2k+ though.....what to do!?!
I should probably go try it and hope that it's rubbish haha -

Does anybody know whether or not Cog Effects will start making pedals again? I really hope so - I've been really keen to try one of their T-16 octave pedals!

That disappointing moment when a name bassist whom you befriended and greatly admired chooses to belittle you on Farcebook when you take issue with their alarmist vaxx-skeptic views.
Closing that door with a heavy heart.

Assuming you wanted the bass, would you buy a 5 string that weighed 10.4lbs?

This is a very interesting point and thread worthy in its own right.
There are lot of people that struggle with weight and for good reason. So part of the answer is right there, because the individuals that suffer from a bass that is optimal weight + 'x' lbs, it probably wouldn't matter how much 'x' is because it becomes insufferable.
Personally, I think I could cope with 10.4lbs as long as the balance was OK. That's what really plays my back up.
The big question is, if weight is an issue, why would you buy it in the first place when there are so many great sub 10lb 5'ers around.
I think we need to know more....and with pictures 😀

First gig with a new group tonight. The other half happened, by chance, to be sitting next to wives of the other band members and she therefore overheard their discussion of "the new bass player". Apparently, they "hope he lasts longer than the last one"...

Just picked up some KZ-ZS10 Pro in-ear monitors for £42 from Amazon. 5 driver per side, very impressed with them for the price!

If it sounds great and they’re comfortable that’s a top buy at that price. My main issue with the sets I’ve had is the cable going kaput! Solved it with my current pair by getting ones with replacement cables. Not had any issue since thankfully. For that price, it’s worth buying a pair as a back up. Thanks for the tip 👍
