It would fit but I think you'd need a different attachment, and I've lost the one that would mount it under a nano -
I've upgraded my board so I'm selling my old pedal train metro 16. It's in good condition, has the loop side velcro on, and a couple of loops for cable tying underneath (easily removed with white spirit). Comes with bag and shoulder strap. £20 posted SOLD Also selling my Pedaltrain Spark, a 1300mA power supply with 5 outputs (2 x 500mA and 3 x 100mA). Comes with 5 cables (4 x 19", 1 x 31"), IEC and daisy chain with 3 outputs. Mounts under any metro board. £60 posted.

I don't now exactly when/where it went through customs but it arrived in Stanford Le Hope yesterday, then Tamworth early this morning, then arrived in Edinburgh at about 8am. The board actually arrived today, despite the delivery date being pushed back. It sounds like something else is going on with your parcel, I hope they haven't lost it!
-
That sucks, especially for a reasonably pricey guitar. Hopefully it arrives soon. My pedalboard is in the Edinburgh depot and due to be delivered tomorrow, so fingers crossed! It implies that things are straightening out, albeit slower than we'd like!

Saving this for my lunch break...
-
I've just got an email saying my parcel is arriving tomorrow, which is great, and the predicted delivery date since a couple of days after I bought it. However, the latest "live" tracking info is from 4/5 days ago and says its in Germany... I'm glad its made it here, but would have preferred if the tracking was kept up to date.
-
£1 over!!!!
-
Yup. It's due to arrive next week
-
My order was free to ship. It's everything else that's costing!
-
It was "Government charges" of £41.56 and "brokerage charges" of 11.50... tracking implies it hasn't left Germany yet so I wonder if they might still charge VAT when it enters the UK... that would suck!

I've just bought a Mono pedalboard with the club case. It was B-stock so I only paid £136 for the board itself, but I just got charged a further £53.06 in duties and handling fees, bringing the total to £189.06. Before Brexit they were listed at about £180... my only justification is that if I bought in the UK I'd have to buy the board and the case separately which would've cost about £300!

I sold this a couple of years ago, so I can't tell you the string spacing, sorry! -
hey everyone, I'm selling a bass on Reverb (also on here as well and tbh would rather sell it here) and someone has contacted me and immediately asked to reply to their personal email. I find this worrying for two reasons: 1) if the transaction is off the site then, I assume, I am not protected by Reverb's Ts & Cs, 2) under their message it says "XYZ cannot receive messages at this time", which happened when an account has been suspended, and doesn't bode well for the potential buyer. I'm leaning towards ignoring the message but wondered if this was typical practice on Reverb to avoid seller fees. Thanks L

It is! I will amend the listing -
This is a wonderful instrument to play but just not exactly what I'm looking for. It's got a very comfortable neck, the balance is perfect and its very light, so I imagine easy to wear for a long gig. It's a surprisingly modern sound for a 50s style P pickup, very forward and throaty. It's only a couple of months old and been played a bit at home but, of course, it's not been used in anger. comes with Alpher branded hiscox case and a couple of tools for the truss rod and bridge adjustments £1400 including shipping to mainland UK, anywhere else at buyer's expense. Local pickup is free. I also don't mind driving an hour or so from Edinburgh for a socially distanced handover. Would consider trading for a Japanese Fender Mustang or other high end short scale (plus cash either way). Specs: - 21 frets - 30 inch scale - sapele body - quarter sawn maple neck - Pau Ferro fingerboard - Luminlay side dots - passive electronics - 4kg

There's a '78 Mustang just appeared at the Bass Gallery, so now I want that. I've also been drooling over the new Barefaced One10T, with black cloth grill, plus replacement grill for my old one. Also planning a Pedaltrain jnr size board. Will also need bigger flat to accommodate aforementioned acquisitions.

SOLD -
that's why I'm asking here 😂 I don't want to be the one to break their Moog!
-
want *the cab, not the cat
-
I read in the manual that the MF-101 can take up to 15V, has anyone tried their LPF with more than 9V? Did it make any difference to the sound?
-
I'm selling the case that was shipped with my Alpher. It's in great condition apart from one of the foam walls being cracked inside where the upper strap pin of the bass pushed against it (see picture). I've checked and it won't fit a short scale bass (I've tried my Callowhill and my Mustang) so this is very much for a guitar. Price is firm and includes postage.

I used to play this one a lot and I always thought of it in A minor because of the shape it made on the fretboard (?!), which was made of all natural notes. I didn't realise it had an Emaj7 in it but my understanding is this is taking from Neo-soul, the sound of which revolves around playing parallel major and minor 7s. I don't think there is a definitive key for the song, whether you write on the page that its in E major, E minor, A minor or whatever, the resulting sound will be the same. If I was transcribing it I would choose whichever key resulted in the fewest accidentals, simply for ease of reading. As for SHA... the only upside of lockdown is not having to play that song. When I'm playing it, I don't care what key its in, I just want it to be over 😂 But seriously. When I'm playing and I'm improv'ing fills etc over SHA, I just go with the harmony of that particular chord. Blues-y dominant 7 things seem to work for all three.

Can you clarify if you are wanting to read bass clef or just learn playing walking basslines? If you want to read bass clef, there is a bass clef fake/real book for about £25 that has the melodies for hundreds of standards written in bass clef. It sounds to me like you just want to play walking basslines, which you won't find written in a real book, you'll just get the chords. If you want to learn to play walking lines then there are hundreds of books on the subject that use tab and notation. Building Walking Basslines by Ed Friedland is a good starter book, and will give you the understanding of theory and fretboard knowledge to play over jazz changes.

... and plectrums sound cool af. I once spent nearly an hour in a friends' music shop trying out picks 😂

It depends on the factory. Before '92, all Japanese made instruments were made by the FujiGen Gakki factory and labelled 'Made in Japan', and you're right that after '96/97 they were all labelled "Crafted in Japan". However, starting in '92, FujiGen Gakki sometimes outsourced the manufacture to Tokai Gakki (aka Tokai) or Dyna Gakki, and in this instance they were labeled 'Crafted in Japan'. So this instrument could very well be from '93/'94 if it was manufactured by one of the latter two factories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Japan still an excellent specimen either way!
