      it’s well built and designed so will be fixable unlike some modern stuff.

  6. Had a bit of an eye-opener on a bass-oriented Farcebook group this morning. My god, there are some selfish c**ts in this world.

      Isn't social media awful, both individually and at a social level

      @Happy Jack yeah that’s my poor spelling - my searching has been ok. I found people who could do it but found a different method which hopefully will work

      It's really interesting area - depending on how they do it- there's a few like this, the big commercial players have big commercial structures and tooling costs etc .... whereas the cost of entry to the bottom of the market is relatively low for a solvent ink printer,  heat press and the materials - so it's something other people should be able to do... but they are in a "we sell pre-done things on eBay at low prices" mindset and while could do it, sometimes lack the technical knowledge. 

      My next thought is brushed aluminium look stickers which probably would be enough for me

  15. Driving through SW Scotland tomorrow- my main thought is “Moffat - home of ACG and @skelf

    when you consider how much visit Scotland spend that’s a bit sad the extent of my knowledge is based on bass manufactures!

      Noooo I think the only thing worse than “hey love I’m back, the money that came out of our account was for the bass in the car” would be “hey love, yes that was just the deposit”

  22. After 15 years of buying and selling stuff online I’ve finally had one go a bit wrong on me. My learning- the ethos of how you act on basschat as a good seller isn’t the same on other music forums :(

    1. LukeFRC

      LukeFRC

      For clarity my purchase isn’t on basschat.

      probably why it’s gone wrong

      @acid bass - better than my UE 900s things? I got them just before the KZ became a thing and could have saved a load!

  25. There's a first. We walked away from a gig without playing a note as the pub thought we had too many amps (we are a 5 piece) and our amps looked "too loud". We hadn't even plugged in or fully set up. When they asked us to lose a band member or play after 10pm when their restaurant was closed, we packed our gear and left. Lord Raglan in Wokingham, for the record. My advice: never accept a gig there

      and then 2.5hrs later...

      I was expecting the worst when I bought a used ABM 500 but in truth the fan noise really is not intrusive. Yes, its there but its way quieter than some other amps I have owned

      maybe it was the fan noise they thought was going to be too loud?
