  1. Unless you bought it directly from them it should go back to the shop you got it from. PJ is quite active on facebook though. Try there?
  2. I couldn't find it either.
  3. I entered a similar one years ago. £20 but the top prize was an Aston Martin. Needless to say I didn't win. Shame really, think of all the basses I could have bought when I sold it!
  4. Ooof GuitarGuitar have them for preorder at £1799.00 https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/191106350870008--gl-usa-fallout-bass-racing-yellow-with-black-racing-stripe That's a nope from me.
  5. I thought this would be about Darryl Dawkins. Chocolate Thunder was his nickname.
  6. It's not analogue, but the Digitech BSW will do an amazing octave and it's tracking is the best I'be ever heard. Doesn't sound artificial like the Pogs either.
  7. Would the Elf be loud enough against a drummer and 24 horns and reeds?
  8. £179 on bass direct site.
  9. I asked a guy on YouTube and his was 9.2 lb. Too heavy for me, but if there are some 8lb ish ones there then I’m interested!
  10. derrière. Its official. No EU deliveries until November “sometime.”
  11. And now it says Unknown again. Although I did see on another site that they were expecting stock on 6th November. Bah. I suppose it will arrive when it arrives.
  12. I just noticed these relatively new Ibby basses that have 18mm string spacing at the bridge. Much better for me than the usual 16.5mm the rest of the SR range has. But I can't find any weight details - has anyone got one, and if so can you stick it on the scales so I can easily tell if I might find one light enough for me, or whether I should forget it? ta
  13. Yup. The original ones were cedar (I have one of them) but they've swapped for paulownia. Apparently they can offer more finish options with that. No idea if they are supposed to sound different or not.
  14. How heavy is it?
  15. The Joyo tributes to the Tech21 stuff are excellent. No idea how long they last but they sound superb.
  16. Slight caveat - not every battery pack allows charging while in use. The Rockboard LT XL does, but I don't know about any others.
  17. That's great. Thank you.
  18. Shush you! I'm trying to justify spending money!
  19. At the risk of enraging the wife... What is the weight please?
  20. Now that sounds superb! Now I'm interested. Even if his broken string solution is making my teeth itch!
  21. It's no different to making sure normal batteries are charged / available. I use it because where I play the power is extremely limited and it cuts down on the power cables and the weight of a normal under-board power supply.
  22. @Lozz196 Correct! There are some dedicated guitar pedal versions of battery packs but they tend to be very expensive for very similar specs. So I use these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MWU1GGI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with https://myvolts.co.uk/Ripcord Just make sure you pick the 9V centre negative version! I've also got one of these in my pack as a spare. https://myvolts.co.uk/product/44871/myVolts_5000mAh_2.4A_Power_Bank_-_Red Dead easy to use - charge up the pack and then use the 5V to 9V cable converter and run a daisy chain from the converter to your pedals. If you have low current draw pedals then you'll only need 1. If you have some hungry digital pedals like delays and synths then you might want to give that it's own battery pack. Personally I'd always take 2 anyway. At £7.99 they are dirt cheap and it's good to have a spare if you are gigging. Also has the benefit of being able to charge your phone for the journey home too! Some of the dedicated guitar versions are only 9V output so they can't be used for other USB purposes and they can cost over £100.
  23. I ran my dUg from a 5000mAh battery pack designed for iphone recharging with a cable that did the conversion from 5V to 9V. I now use 2 of the power packs to power my small pedal board. The packs are small and only £7.99. Cables about £5. Then run a daisy chain to the pedals. Job done.
