The builds are in batches. It just depends on whether he's just finished a batch and there's batches for his other models to do before coming back to the Jive. When I ordered mine (some time ago) I think it was 2 or 3 months before I got it. But I also seem to remember being aware that was likely. Chris could make it a bit more obvious on this site though.

Barefaced Big Twin 2 Gen 3 or 2 x BB3 stack
fretmeister replied to Paddy Morris's topic in Amps and Cabs
If you are blowing the cross-over I can't see the risk being lowered - presumably the BT3 has the same cross-over for the split with the HF horn? And as an aside - if you are that loud then surely the PA should be doing the hard work instead? -
Just got the email https://aguilaramp.com/en-eu/products/aguilar-plugin-suite I know there's a lot of Aggie fans on here so I thought I would share.

@mcnach where did you get the vinyl? I'm thinking about wrapping a telecaster I've got rather than the hassle of stripping it and painting.

For Sale: Mark Bass Vintage Preamp - *WITHDRAWN*

I've always played bass and guitar - started at the same time really. It was all the fault of Brian May and Steve Harris! Over the last 40 years I've probably done about an equal amount of gigs on guitar and bass with quite a few of the guitar ones as frontman / singer too. For some reason I find singing while playing guitar easy but almost impossible with bass. Different mindset I think. 40 years of buying gear I didn't need! I'm not in a band at the moment. About a year ago I ended a 12 year stint doing big band jazz as I needed a break. I really enjoyed it but it was time to go. Over that time I got so used to playing in flat keys that anything else now sounds really weird! I am now writing new stuff a bit which I haven't done for a long time and I've been putting together bitsas for the first time ever. I'm enjoying that a lot. I am just starting to get the urge to gig again but I'm not sure whether for guitar or bass. I think I'd like to sing again if I can get my voice back into shape - I haven't fronted for 20 years. Whatever it is though it will be a power trio, or 3 + singer. There were 25 people in the jazz band and I'm craving simplicity! Top Tip: If you leave a band to have a rest - DO NOT TELL ANYONE! Within 10 mins of me telling friends that I had quit the big band I was getting texts with "you've still got your gear.... right?"

These ones: https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/jim-dunlop-flatwound-bass-strings-45-105-stainless-steel-short-scale These are brand new and never fitted, packet never opened. They are £80 new. I bought them for my Lionel but I'm really happy with the ancient rounds I've got on it so these are available. Selling for £50 including delivery ono.

That's lovely! The website people need flogging though. Can't spell "D'addario" properly. No nut width or bridge spacing information either.

Just in case - I have listed 2 medium scale Ibanez basses in the classifieds (I have paid my subs!). A 4 string and a 5 string. Both in great condition. In the unlikely event that someone wants them both I'm sure a deal can be done!

I don't think it's an integrity issue at all. The world has changed. Hardly any bands make good money anymore and everyone has to eat.

SOLD AND GONE The clearout continues. This is a stock Ibanez SRMD205. 32 inch medium scale 5 string. Now discontinued by Ibanez. Specs: 45mm nut 18mm bridge string spacing PJ pickups 2 band EQ with blend. 9V powered. Matt black finish. WEIGHT: only 3.3kg being roughly 7.2lb Currently fitted with £100 worth of Dunlop Medium Scale Flatwounds. They went on in 2023 so should be good for another 5 years if you look after them properly. They are a traditional sounding flat, not a modern fizzy, metally nonsense sort of flat! I have owned this from new and it's done a few jazz gigs. I bought in May 2020 from GAK. I liked it so much that I had a pair of them for a while. This one was by far the lightest though. The other was quite a bit heavier. The other one went to fund a PS5 (sodding kids). The matt black paint has a few marks here and there but nothing particularly visible. Nothing that goes through the paint. Selling for £250.00 ono. PRICE DROP to a really cheap £200! Collection from Northants near J16 on the M1. I do not have any shipping boxes and as my local (was PMT) closed there isn't anywhere I can get any. Not looking for any trades, I need house room. Thanks.

It's going to be like that old gag - Jimmy Page's telecaster sold a lot of Les Pauls. This pedal is going to sell a huge amount of HXOnes.

I usually have flats on my Sandberg TT4. Usually EB Group 2.5 flats, but sometimes Ti flats or La Bella depending on what I need. I've just put rounds on it for the first time in about 3 years!

16 pedals to start. Then about £10 per new pedal as they are launched. Limited user slots for new pedals. Have to use an app to put new pedals on it. I'm sure it will sell loads, but it really looks like Boss had a look at the Line 6 HXOne (200+ pedals in it, no cost for updates and new sounds, no need to use the app) and just did the opposite. The Boss is slightly more expensive too. I would really really like a Turbo Distortion that didn't have the mad hiss levels of the original, but I still wouldn't buy this.

Lovely! I’ve been following them on IG and their instruments are beautiful.
