    Pubs make much more money on spirits and mixers, so really all it takes is a few regular drinkers and maybe 15-20 drinking punters there for the gig for the pub to break even or make a profit.

    Sorry to hear about your experience. As echoed above, I would use the momentum you have since gained from being back playing and learning, and surround yourself with musicians you respect who have similar goals. I guarantee you'll be successful in no time and will enjoy it so much more than the other band, where it sounds like you were compromising a bit on the material choices. Good luck with whatever you do

    Does the Bluetooth music streaming thing allow music to be played from the usual sources - Spotify, Youtube etc? Or what way does it work?

    Bought a bass from Gary and it arrived immaculate - the packaging was perfect and the instrument itself is a beauty. A pleasure to do business with - thanks Gary!

    I was lazy and didn't notice the screw head loosening over time - bass fell off mid gig once! Decided that day to switch to Dunlop Straplok exclusively on all my basses - safer for an idiot like me

    For your delectation is this fine USA Fender P Bass in Sunburst with a Black Scratchplate and a Maple neck. Year is 2003, got it in a trade last year and it hasn't been out of the case since, as I play a Jazz mostly! All the usual USA Fender loveliness including thru body stringing option and lightweight tuners. There is one small chip on the upper bout where your arm rests - this is visible in this first pic but happy to take more detailed photos for full disclosure. Comes with official Fender case and truss rod tool. I have just restrung it with a set of D'Addario 45-105 rounds which sound beaut and have set it up to standard Fender specs. ***NOW SOLD*** Thanks for looking!

    Let's leave the personal insults for the 'luthiers' over here in Norn Iron eh? 😂 Just giving my opinion on both brands. Obviously there are beautiful examples of both, but I have never seen a Shuker which is less than stunning and which looks like it hasn't been made in a garage, which I cannot say about ACG.
  10. acidbass
    AC Guitars look like they could be made in a garage by an amateur woodworker, whereas Shuker to me says quality. I would go Shuker all day long.

    Just to confirm I finally received a refund from Bax Shop after my return was delivered to them on 4th October. Better late than never I guess.

    Avoid valves!
  13. acidbass
    I hope you never have to! Makes sense now why they are cheaper than most competitors.
  14. acidbass
    They have a UK address in Romford I think - the price you see on the website is the price you pay, with no additional duty etc. However, they are a shambles of a company. I have been trying to return a faulty item to them for months and just keep hitting brick wall after brick wall. I would not do business with them again.

    Did you get my PM

    Is the black pickup original MM or an aftermarket?
  18. acidbass
    Interested...long time Lo Rider user here too but was thinking of trying out NYXLs on my next string change. Why did you opt to change? I heard the tensions are similar? I'm a J or P Bass player here and play nickels only fyi.

    Distance Selling Regulations cover you for up to 28 days after receipt of package, I believe.

    Two compressors is too many. I use either the Rochester at 4:1 ratio or the LA Comp, slightly favouring the top end on the LA recently tho.
  21. acidbass
    So did you double compress, essentially? Did you notice much difference?
  22. acidbass
    Thanks a mill! Yeah the live album was a lot of fun, a few fluffs aside lol! It was my dream to play at Mandela Hall when I went to uni in Belfast so I'm glad it happened before they tossed it. Definitely getting over to Edinburgh and Glasgow (Barrowlands) early next year - PM me if you fancy going to either and I can sort guest list
  23. acidbass
    I'll PM you some links I use the Stomp for most of my tone really! - High Cut and Low Cut EQ block (7khz and 50hz respectively - Rochester Comp set to 4:1 ratio - Zeroamp at about 50% blend, presence and drive quite high Then various other effects that are song-dependent, such as the legacy Bass Octaver or 70s Chorus!
  24. acidbass
    It is yes! Are you familiar?
  25. acidbass
    Thanks for your kind words! It was really enjoyable. Yes, it was a festival in a city called Derry over here in Norn Iron. Since gigs restarted we have done outdoors only with crowds varying between 1-6,000. Pretty fun! Here's a pic:
