I've wanted one of these for ages, didn't buy one when they were available easily, and can't justify it now this one's come up.  Bah!

GLWYS!

Free form.  Live play will follow, probably.

Seldom wise, on a pushbike.

Personally I wouldn't carry any favourite basses in a gigbag on a bike. Grandma to suck eggs sort of observation I guess .....

Given it's less than two miles, I'm not hugely worried.  But yes, point taken.

What sort of bell?

 

There's a wide gap in sound between what's on a cat's collar and Big Ben.

A church bell or hand bell.  Something a bit less cracked than the Black Sabbath bell, but that sort of bell.

Is there a PA system there?

 

If so - bass and a preamp unit to go straight into the PA. No amp.

Good thought, but no, sadly.

Trailer?

Potentially.  This occurred to me while allegedly sleeping last night.  It ought to be reasonably waterproof, as well, which can't hurt.

I've cycled with a bass in a gig bag with backpack straps which was ok. On a standard bike I think a practice amp might be challenging. You might be able to bungee it on to a pannier rack but you'd need to check the rack will take the weight. Having that much weight out back can really mess with the handling as well.

 

Cargo bike time? 😉

This is what I was wondering.  Thanks

At the moment I drive about 2 miles to our practice space.  I can't leave anything there overnight.

I'm wondering about getting there by bike instead. 

The practice amp is a small combo.

Does anyone else do this?  If so, how?

Can anyone suggest an effect which would simulate a bell?  Does it need a synth and/or sample, or is there something I could buy off the shelf?

Thanks

Mm.  Tempting, not least because I have a relative who might be interested (she's 4'11" with small hands).

It's almost tempting to buy the thing just to see how dreadful the joint actually is.

Almost.

Have a look at the neck joint.

Someone had ideas above their capability, pretty clearly.

Do make sure the cat doesn't want to bid ...

I'm Andy Dye, or did you mean the ebay personage? I can dm you their ebay id but I'm not comfortable with public name and shame

The ebay seller, please.  I would very much not like to deal with them.

(FWIW, everyone here knows you're a sound bloke )

Is it possible to name the seller?

Glad to hear it

Bought a body, bits and pups for a JB from Mike.  Very quick, expertly packaged, good comms.  I'd be pleased to deal with him again.  Thanks Mike

Ooof...

Now showing as sold.

Anyone here get it?

Pretty!

Sadly, I don't need any more basses.  Honest.

I bought Lee's cosmetically-challenged White Shadow.  All as advertised, seamless transaction, good packing.  I'd be pleased to deal with him again.  Thanks Lee!

Lawrie's a nice guy and a credit to BC.  Deal with confidence.  Bump!

Does it stay in tune?  I have something like this, and it's so badly made I've never tried to use it.
