    I'm not looking for trades rob (as per line 3 of the OP), but I think it would be rude of me not to ask what you are offering. PM me with details if you like.

    It just so happens I'm driving up the A12 towards yours tomorrow. I'll get my drill out. No extra charge 😂

    Please don't feel bad. It was a bit of a wake up call really. I have a few basses that I'm not really using and they could easily be put towards one that I would. Bizarrely, after our series of messages, I've come out the other side of the vintage Fender phase I was going through. Any of these would do, but I would rather not have to go to South Korea to get it 😀

    Don't feel too sorry for me. I've still have the 5'er and that is an absolute beast.

    What are you talking about? The best of 1991 was not the point of this thread. Which of those three specific albums do you prefer (and why) was what was asked.

    I've been very lucky in being able to own many incredible basses in my life, but there are still a few that have eluded me for various reasons. Partly inspired by @AndyTravis's thread regarding his dream bass, I've decided that life is indeed too short and I'm going after the some of the few that I really want before I croak it. For sale, a mint condition Status Series 3. No trades as that would defeat the object of selling it in the first place. The spec on this is as follows: Through neck Headed 4 String Completed December 2016 Fretted Woven carbon graphite neck Black phenolic fingerboard 34" scale Standard string spacing (which equates to 19mm) Kevasingo Pomelle top wood Utile back wood Maple Faux binding High gloss polyester finish 2 x soap-bar pick-ups Status 303 circuit board Gold hardware Gold straplocks Single ball end Status Graphite Hex Core 'Hotwire' strings (40-60-80-100) Comes with Status moulded hard case and papers shown The weight of this bass is 9.48lbs This is a cracking bass that has hardly been touched, let alone rehearsed with and certainly not gigged. The pictures taken from the side show that there are no scratches south of the G string which is common for high gloss finish basses. It really is a peach. If you wanted Rob to build you one now it would be just north of £2,900, plus a fairly long wait. Shipping: I'm happy to ship this bass to any UK address for cost via Basschat's affiliate EUROSENDER.

    Nobody said they were.

    I'm in the process of listening to all three again (not at the same time obvs 😀) and will reveal later.
  9. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Oh, go on then 😏
  10. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    That happened three years ago and look where that got us 😂

    You want me to add a ‘none of the above’ option to a poll asking which is your favourite out of these three albums?
  12. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    The question got lost in me deciding to add the poll 🙄 All subjective I suppose, but the question was ‘what’s your favourite?’. (now edited)
  13. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    What’s your favourite and why? I'm not going to vote as it will make it a bit obvious.
  14. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Most of mine do start life on paper, but as you’ve evidenced, a lot of songs multiplied by a few bands and it easily gets out of hand. I don’t play with some of the bands I dep for regularly enough to remember even half of it, so there has to be an accessible version readily to hand. Songs stretching to two or more pages just complicates things.
  15. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    The limitations of them when both of your hands are busy.

    Well, I charged it last night and hooked it up to my iPad this morning. Connection took seconds and it works like a dream. As previously mentioned in the thread, you can configure what the buttons do very easily. It comes set as turn page left and right with the two switches. The page flip is almost instant. Not only that, but paging right scrolls down if it’s more than can fit on the screen at the start and a further click right then moves over to the next song when it reaches the end of the tune. The left button undoes whatever you’ve done with the right. This is using On Song by the way. I’m not sure what other programs do. Very impressed by the build. Looks bomb proof and is very dinky. Much smaller than I expected, but functionality is not compromised by it.

    Yes, Anderson’s did that to me with my Line 6 Relay G75. The box was astonishingly large. I’ve just checked the other much larger box that arrived with the B200S-2 and it’s the wrong product entirely. Someone was having a bad day at Thomann HQ last week I reckon.
  18. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I’ve had this happen to me before with Thomann, so I wasn’t overly surprised, but WTF are they thinking? 😂
  19. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Thanks @TrevorR - order going in tonight 👍
  20. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    @TrevorR - yes, that works a treat. I’ve just scanned a multi page PDF and imported it to OnSong and it’s all there in one file. Quick question and I’ll stop pestering you 😀. So now it’s in OnSong, the pages are stacked on top of each other instead of scrolling left to right, which is fine. If I get the BT200 and turn the page with that, I assume it instantly goes down to the next whole page or does it scroll down for as long as you have your foot on the switch? I’m hoping it’s the former cos I’m going to want the next bar in front of me fairly pronto.
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I think I’ve found where I was going wrong. There is a toggle switch in the scanning app for choosing either JPG or PDF. It was set to JPG which is limited to one page. PDF obviously allows multiples. Thanks @TrevorR 👍
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Question....Up until recently, I've managed to condense everything I've needed to read onto a single A4 sheet/single PDF per song. The set I'm learning right now has some songs in it that are 4/5 pages long and a lot that are more than one A4 sheet. My usual approach to using On Song is to scan the A4 sheets into DropBox and then import the scanned images into On Song from DropBox. I'm not sure this method will work well with multiple page tunes. @TrevorR or anyone else have any thoughts about dealing with multi sheet charts.
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Thanks for the advice Trevor. I have to say, the more I hear about the BT200, the more I’m thinking that may be the way to go. I have a nice little gap on my pedal board at the moment which that would slide into nicely. The added bonus of it being fairly rugged under my clumsy feet also appeals. I’ll have a think on it.
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Me too normally, but I’ve maxed out my RAM playing new stuff for dep gigs.
  25. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    PM’d 👍
