That’s actually what I was looking for, but I’m going to have both on there and use them in the alternative!

I bought one off here after posting a thread seeking advice on an always on drive. I’d tend to echo that it’s quite trebly - Ive played with it and it’s great for a pick style clank but I’m going to try a TC Mojomojo on my board as an alternative. There’s another thread on here seeking advice on a mod called a bread and butter mod which looks to add low end. Unfortunately it looks like the company that did it doesn’t any more, but someone else might be able to do it.

I hadn't seen those flip finishes of Dood's before - may I just say "phwoar"? Love those (though they do slightly remind me of the old Nissan Primera saloons that had limited ed flip paint..

Well, I've never had to test it but having dealt with public liability claims over the years as part of my job, I would have thought that any claims would probably go against the band as a whole, or the individual that did the act/caused the problem. Usually personal injury claims etc tend to go after the person with the money anyway. Oh, and course, it was the [insured band member] who forgot to tape the cables down that they tripped over anyway, wasn't it? Ahem.

MU provides PL cover as part of the membership. I’ve produced that to venues and they’re happy it is suitable.

Bought a pedalboard from Pat - came quickly and well packed - and great comms throughout. Thanks.

Fretmeister is right - this is my day job and it is usually not cost-effective for a law firm to deal with claims under £10k. That said, you can always get them to advise on the legal position (i.e. what the contract terms mean, what your prospects are etc) and do it yourself afterwards. You may also have legal expenses cover via your home insurance too.

I don’t use Facebook so don’t know how well that works, but I have had some success through Gumtree in the past. Never got anywhere with JMB, but depending where you are Bandmix might also be worth a go.

Picked up a Stagg EUB from Russ today, a pleasure to deal with, thanks.

😭

ABY can do either and both together. AB is what I want.

Oh, man, I'd love this. Shame I'm about 200 miles too far away!!

I use a Radial Bigshot I/O which, until recently, has done everything I needed - it allowed me to switch between basses, and mute when not needed. However, recently it's* proven lacking - it's one of the earlier ones, which is entirely passive and therefore doesn't have indicator LEDs to show which channel is active and when it's muted or not. In a couple of pieces I've been switching between electric bass and triggered orchestral percussion sounds, and in the heat of the moment (a timp roll right up to the end of the bar and bass in at the first beat of the next bar!) I've either fluffed the switchover or inadvertently pressed the mute by mistake. Since I can't see visually which it is, it causes a delay and can be very problematic whilst I'm supposed to be playing - especially if I carry over into the supposed quiet parts and suddenly 'klannggg' a string which I thought was muted/switched to the other channel. Anyway, that is a very long-winded way of setting the scene for my question, which is, is it possible to add LEDs to the pedal, and if so, can anyone recommend a 'modder' to do it for me (I am not going to pretend I have anywhere the aptitude to do it)? I'm S/W based if that makes a difference. I could just buy a new version but that's £95+ - if modding is possible and cheaper it would make sense. Otherwise, can anyone recommend an alternative? Looked at the LS-2 but it doesn't seem quite right (needing a 'dummy jack' in the input to get it working as an A/B switcher. Don't want an ABY pedal, just a channel switcher with indicators! *Or, rather, I have!

I think someone mentioned above that the M pups were not so hot - certainly that was my experience, they sounded ‘smoother’. The controls had pots instead of switches, so you can pan between the pups rather than switch, and the tone controls were cut and boost rather than just cut. The neck on my M2000T was much slimmer than on the L2000 I had - much more jazz-like.

Hmm, I’m confused; I distinctly remember all my L’s having an active/passive switch - am I misremembering?

I’ve had four G&L’s over the years, liked each one but never quite ‘clicked’ with any of them - or, at least, enough not to sell on when I had to. I’ve had an L2000T and L2500T, an L2500US and most recently a M2000T. The first two I moved on because I didn’t like the necks, but I loved the sound; the US went when I needed cash more than a bass (still regret that, but it had its issues - a flat top with no forearm carve meant it got a bit painful after a while!). The M2000 I felt never quite hit the heights of the L’s - too polite, not aggro enough. Liked the pup blend pot through - I was going to do that to the L’s had I kept them. I do still have a hankering for an L2000 again though...

Well, I’m in Bath and I might be heading to Hertfordshire over the Easter weekend if that’s of any use?

Can't help with the specific sound, but in the past I've been known to ask the bar staff what the tune is, or if they don't know, where they get their tunes from - many places now have a specific 'stream' sent to the venue by head office, and if you email the company sometimes they'll give you a playlist. Yes, I am that sad... Or (no help on this occasion) but for the future an app like 'Shazam' helps you to locate the specific tune.

Another one coming up:

Not true. Harder to evidence, but a verbal contract is very much binding and just as enforceable in court.

I’ve recently had to add some sounds for an orchestral performance, and I’ve found the best way to get the variety needed for me is by using Apple’s Mainstage. Of course, you need a Mac etc, but if you have that then Mainstage is great when paired with a MIDI keyboard.

I was playing drums at a gig on the Gloucester Road in Bristol a couple of years back. A young crowd, a lot of them students doing a pub crawl up the road, and we were playing rock covers, so lots of shouting, dancing and general merriment. All fun and games, until one young blonde girl, seemingly the worse for alcohol, tripped backwards on the edge of the low stage, and fell directly into the drum kit, wiping out the whole right side and scattering it across the stage. We finished the song as she disentangled herself, and that got the biggest cheer of the evening! She’d have been pretty bruised afterwards I’d have thought. Very surprising at the time, and thankfully no serious damage done. To the drums, I mean, no idea how she was!

I was playing a part for weeks before I realised I’d been reading the treble clef part as a bass part. No wonder everyone kept giving me funny looks...😆
