    I bought a rather lovely Maruszczyk Jake 5 string from @Gareth Hughes of this parish a couple of weeks back. It's a longer scale than my Sandberg, has a bigger body, much wider string spacing and is heavier. I've even got different gauge strings on it. None of this has bothered me at all. However, the side dot fret markers are on the fret line, rather than in the middle. It completely threw me off. Had to buy stick on dots after repeatedly cocking up at rehearsal. Sounds very nice though. https://drive.google.com/file/d/11QZ3vcLVRAFGT_jyQAu1V1htqt-gYIPX/view?usp=drivesdk

    Always enjoy reading your posts Muzz. I'm from the same neck of the woods and can usually recognise the venues from your descriptions. No idea where you're gigging in Timperley though. Always found it to be a dead spot, a shame because it's about 5 mins from home.

    Completed a super easy deal on an amp with Jake. Brilliant comms and it arrived packed like a tank. Deal with confidence.

    Just completed a deal for Gareth's Maruszcyzk bass. All round top deal, from comms to speedy postage and great packaging. Another top basschatter, thanks!

    Not these ones. All made by professionals! Having a clear out before I start to investigate doing my own.

    More praise for Alain here. Super easy deal on a strap, but you already knew it would be from the previous 9 pages! Cheers!

    Fair enough. I was trying to update my signature. Doing it on mobile didn't work, even though the new sig showed in my profile editing page, it didn't show on any of my posts (even those made after the change). Updating it on desktop worked, no problem. No idea why

    Same here. Used the free version for a few years before finding out about the free education upgrade.

    Sharing a little love for Canva.com, a free graphics creation site. It has loads of templates and editable designs for everything from A3 posters to Instagram posts and facebook banners. If you work in a school (like I do) you can get a free upgrade to the pro account, which adds features like social media post scheduler, animations, premium content etc etc. As an example, I have zero artistic ability and I used it to make my new band's logo and this instagram animated/audio promo in about 15 minutes. #Edit Apologies, I can't make the promo any smaller!

    The clickbait works then? Ah well, at least you've learned that I'm a doofus.

    Never mind, I'm a doofus.

    They don't do the 5 string in this finish, otherwise I would be powerless......

    Ideally after a straight swap for the short version of this brilliant strap. Good used condition, always had straplocks on so minimal wear & tear on the button holes. Long variant - extends from 47" to 59" pin to pin. Black/black/even more black version. £35 posted within the UK.

    So it's not just me then? This is an inevitability whenever I'm being recorded. My new band is trying to get some 'live at rehearsal' stuff down to send to venues and I just get a mental block! The band sounds great though, and I bet it's only you who noticed the little blip.

    This one's from last Saturday. A bit of a reunion for the old band up in the Lake District. The drummer is a permanent Coniston resident. We played an hour or so as part of a multi band charity do in a friend's garden. Just bloody good fun. Like putting on an old pair of slippers, we just dropped back into the groove. I'm sure that it was looser than when we were gigging regularly. No idea what the live FOH sound was like either. Sandberg Cali TM5 into the house rig. Couldn't hear much onstage, least of all my backing vox but didn't care. Just great to be back making noise with good mates. VID-20240901-WA0019.mp4 VID-20240901-WA0020.mp4 VID-20240901-WA0029.mp4

    Excellent condition Vintera Mustang. Seafoam green, 2021 model MIM. Picked this up in a trade a couple of weeks back. It's lovely, but I only play fivers and something else has inevitably caught my eye! Super clean, it just had a new jack socket for the trade. Previous owner put a black neck plate on, I also have the original which will be supplied. Weighs approx 3.5kg on the bathroom scales. Comes with a pretty battered gig bag. Collection from Sale, South Manchester. Postage available at buyers cost and risk. I don't have a hard case but I can get a box and wrap it up well.

    Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas. Sadly @Doctor J, I couldn't convince the others to go with Erotic Funk Chariot or Funk Gestapo We had a really positive discussion at last rehearsal (more details in the rehearsals thread of you're interested) and decided on..... For non northerners, tea time translates to dinner time for the rest of the country. I'm still messing about with logo designs in Canva, so this is an early draft.

    Cheers! I was in my last band for so long that I'd forgotten about this part. It felt weird not just playing and working on tunes, but the discussion was much more productive in person than it would've been on WhatsApp. Next steps, record some promo sound clips, confirm the name, get a logo and start to look for some gigs!

    A really positive rehearsal with the new band. I think this is our 5th/6th one now. Weirdly, we didn't play very much stuff. However, we got the desk settings sorted for our IEMs, and what we did play sounded great through headphones. We also spent quite a bit of time discussing the direction/theme of the set. Up to now we've been playing a bit of everything, but it's becoming clear what we like to play and what fits us as a group. We went through the existing songs and culled the ones that didn't fit the direction, then decided on some new ones to learn for next time. And...... we might just have a name! Not saying anything yet as we're still doing due diligence online and getting the social media handles set up, but it's looking good! Feeling excited about it, you never know whether a new band is going to fly or not, but hopefully this one is looking good.

    Sounds great! Really tight and you're obviously having a brilliant time, top stuff!

    For sale, my snappily named Ibanez EHB 1005SMS, bought this from Vin Venal on here in 2022. Originally the silver colour, I loved the surf green that was only available on the non multi-scale model, so had it refinished by my mate who runs a bike building/painting company (Northroad cycles). It's a good job, with a couple of small flaws on the back and scuffs on the lower edge that I've tried to show in the pics. Priced accordingly. Everything else is stock. It sits really well in a band mix, and singers especially love not being hit with a headstock. Weighs approx 3.2kg using the bathroom scales method. I've rehearsed and gigged with it about 20 - 25 times. Set up with Newtone light gague strings. Nice low action etc etc. Comes with ibanez gig bag. The only trade I'd be interested in is towards a stingray special 5, obviously with cash from my end. Collection from South Manchester (M33) much preferred, but postage is available. It will be well packed. More pics/video available on request. Live gig video 1 video 2
