I might have a lot more free time very soon so could potentially talk you through the FI stuff. 

Don’t know about the OP but I’d be interested in any kind of idiot’s guide you felt able to create! I’ve failed to make any headway with either FI4 or C4, and even my boy (who mucks around with software synths for fun) is similarly bamboozled.

That's nothing. I was here back when the only strings you could get were made of stone. Awful for slapping.

I don’t think they’re allowed to say ‘made in USA’ any more unless every component is made in USA. 
 

But yes, probably not much craftsman carving going on.

I think Squiers are usually “correct” size and shape, but possibly less depth. HB I don’t have direct experience of HBs but they don’t have to conform in the same way so you’d expect them to be differenter.

I'm from Stoke so kind of proud of this, but to be honest I've never listened to much of Lemmy's work. I did think he was known as a pick player, but this statue shows fingerstyle. I guess he did both else someone would have pointed it out already?

Can't get this out of my head now. Thanks everyone.

I entered but I don't do social media or have any friends so it looks like I will not win. Oh well.

Had an email the other day from Hobgoblin looking for small-scale investments from their customer base.

Now yours for just £180.

I was so expecting to get on with this amp that I binned the box. However, all the rest of the bits are here, including the posh little bag, UK mains plug, sticker and manual on a CD-ROM. This bite-sized bass amp has been used precisely twice, for less than an hour in total.

I just didn't like the constant fan noise, which apparently is a feature not a fault. Would be fine for playing with other musicians I guess, and everyone seems to love these amps, but my main use case was (quiet) solo home practice and it's too noisy. Don't make the same mistake!

Pick up from Hove or UK postage at cost guess I'll cover the postage, then. Hit me with your vexed questions.

I imagine that's what they'll be doing. Whether you follow suit or not is up to you. It will make things much easier if you do the same, though who knows what you might discover through having to play in Eb in standard tuning?

Overthinking? 

I got an Elf and was shocked by the fan noise, always on and way loud (I do need to play in acoustic settings). So out of the other pocket bass amps around, which ones have quiet cooling that people are happy with? Gnome, maybe?

Or maybe looking ahead at possible trade barriers between US and Mexico? Not sure Indonesia is in any different position, though

Bought Bas's Future Impact synth pedal one day, it arrived the next. Excellent transaction from start to finish.

John's Shure wireless system came to me exactly as described, thoughtfully packed and for a reasonable price. Great comms and a pleasure doing business – thanks JohnR.

You would need to split the signal, but you also have the problem of syncing the loops. Try to do it by feel and you generally find the two loops won’t stay together. The longer you play them, the more out of step they become.

So you’d need to use something like midi clock sync. Alas, I don’t think either of the loopers you mention supports that feature.

I bought Dave's Filter Twin pedal and am very happy with it. Cheers @davebass66!

I bought a BF Big Baby cab from Neil and suggest you all do the same. He’s da man and so are his labradors.
 

@P-ZARN Thanks for a straightforward and pleasant sale, and for coffee and fancy bass fondlage. 👍

A (moderately) famous (at the time) touring band cancelled their gig at our polytechnic ents hall *on the night* because their drummer was sending the noise-o-meter off the scale and they wouldn't/couldn't make him/it any quieter. I helpfully suggested they could use the support band's drum kit and I wish I could convey in words the dirty look I got in response.

I thought it meant 'bollox'.

No, that's coyotes

Four pages in and nobody said 'cajon' yet?

(For the drummers in the house, it's a fancy word for 'wooden participation box').
