  1. Nothing to add to the general knowledge pool about guitarists, but would like to give kudos to the thread title. Made me smile, and there's not enough of that around.
  2. Covid / market forces? They have slimmed their range an awful lot but left the door open to bringing them back at some unspecified time. This forum might be the place to ask: https://forums.ernieball.com/threads/can-we-get-some-fretless-options-again.73076/

    Is this the Stop Posting Without Reading thread?
  4. Anyone found a proper wide capo for 6-string bass guitar?
  5. Thumbs-up from me. George bought my Fender Jazz and was thoroughly pleasant and reasonable to deal with throughout.
  6. Love a good noodle me -- I'm in. Any interest in trades for a Cleartone Conversions 7-to-6string "Big Hander"? Cost £600 back in the day.
  7. I got a couple of cans of Heinz tomato soup going if anyone's interested. £150 a tin? After all, in a few years it will be vintage.
  8. I know everyone has their own playing style and that, but I think what you’re describing sounds more like an injury than any kind of “building stamina” thing. If twere me I’d be listening to my body and working on a less abrasive technique. “Burning” doesn’t sound normal to me.
  9. Need to pay for new bass and have no money, therefore this is for sale. If I say it's my regular gigging bass, don't be put off -- only done a handful of gigs since I got it. Anyway, here's a 2018 RockBass Streamer NT 5-string, made with something approximating love in the People's Republic. The useless RB preamp has been switched out for a proper 3-band MEC job from the Warwick shop, along with the proper Warwick chrome knobs. The work was done by the legend that is Bernie Goodfellow, who also did the setup (Low E to high C). The "inlays" on the fretboard are stickers, as are the glow-in-the-dark bits. I'll take them off before sale unless you like them for some reason. The only mark on it is a scratch in the varnish, which looks like this: Here's the back: The bass is in Hove and will be supplied with a RockBag (it didn't come with one, so purists can feel free to decline it!) I'm not mad keen to post, as I haven't a spare hard case to post it in -- as you may know, it's pretty much impossible to get any courier to insure basses for the correct value, especially in a gig bag. And you'll want a cup of tea while you test it out. So pick up is hugely preferred, but if that's the only hurdle let me know and I'll see what can be done. Sorry, I won't send it overseas. Price is firm. Trades-wise, only thing I'm looking for is a Barefaced BB2 but cash is still very much king. Hit me with your vexed questions.
  10. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185638233576 You may laugh, but if there's just a trace of the fab four's DNA on there, you could potentially one day create Jurassic Beatles. Or at the very least reanimate the Bovid whose skin went to create their shoes. Doesn't seem so expensive then, does it?
  11. Second of a couple of pedals that are also up on eBay for a few quid more ... Mooer Tender Octaver Pro Octave up/down twin pedal, pitch shifter & harmoniser. Used at home only. A few small dings but generally very good nick and fully working. No original box or power supply, sorry. £70 collected from Hove, postage on top at cost. No overseas sales, for which I apologise. Details that follow are from someone else's website but appear to be accurate: Input: 1/4” mono audio jack.(Impedance: 1M Ohms) Output: 1/4” mono audio jack(Impedance: 100 Ohms) Sampling rate: 44.1K Sampling accuracy: 24bit Power requirements: 9V DC 300mA , center negative. Dimensions: 106mm(D)X96mm(W)X53mm(H) Weight: 400g Manufacturer's description After listening to suggestions and request from the many artists who have enjoyed our previous octave effects, the "Tender Octaver Pro" from MOOER expands on the micro version, bringing together a whole host of cool new features and options with very easy to use controls. With these added features the "Tender Octaver Pro" becomes much more than just an octave pedal making it possible to do harmonization, pitch shifting, wammy and detune chorus effects. Like before the dry, sub and upper voices each have their own dedicated, independent level controls. Unlike before the Sub and Upper each have their own tone and pitch controls too, giving a lot more customization options for shaping your sounds. The Pitch controls are infinitely adjustable between unison and +1/-1 octave making it possible to create all kinds of interesting harmonies and special effects. Connecting a standard expression pedal to the "Tender Octaver Pro" expands on this and opens up the possibility of real time pitch shifting. As if this wasn't enough we have added a smooth control for automatic ambient volume swells. This is all put together into one of our twin series pedals with stereo outputs and 4 storable user presets which can be easily scrolled through live using the dedicated footswitch. Features Separate volume, tone and pitch controls for both sub and upper octaves S.LEVEL:Adjusts output volume of sub octave S.TONE:Adjusts tonality of sub octave SUB:Adjusts the pitch of the sub voice. Can be set anywhere between -1 octave and unity with the dry signal U.LEVEL:Adjusts the output volume of the upper octave U.TONE:Adjusts tonality of upper octave UPPER:Adjusts the pitch of the upper voice. Can be set anywhere between +1 octave and unity with the dry signal DRY:Adjusts output volume of the dry guitar signal SMOOTH:control for automatic volume swells Store and recall up to 4 user presets PRESET FOOTSWITCH:Press this footswitch to change the selected preset (Left most LED is Pedal mode in which all parameter values are depicted by the pedal controls) STORE:Used for saving presets External connection for expression pedal to control octave pitches EXP MODE:Depicts which voices the expression pedal will effect More pics: What it sounds like Not my video but here's someone else using it on bass. Me, I prefer the outrageously large-footprinted Bass Whammy.
  12. First of a couple of pedals that are also up on eBay for a few quid more ... BOSS RC-20XL Loop Station Loop pedal / phrase sampler, little used and never gigged. Comes with the correct power supply, original printed manual and Boss Sound Library CD. I don't have the original box but will pack well in a suitable package. It's a versatile device with 11 slots to save loops and a built-in rhythm box. There's a 1/4in mic input as well as the standard instrument input. More information in the online manual: https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/RC-20XL_OM.pdf Now £100 collected from Hove (BN3) or postage on top at cost. UK buyers only, sorry. Shout if you've any questions.
  13. Try contacting Ashdown or Celestion? I've found both helpful in the past.

  15. Also hoping to get my crowdfunded unit one day. How are the effects themselves?
  16. Last bump, then it goes on the tip (or possibly Gumtree)
  17. Spendy Christmas means I am forced to up the price. This is now free again. Sorry guys …
  18. This sort of thing? https://shop.warwick.de/en/parts-for-instruments/warwick-spare-parts/machine-heads-parts/21093/warwick-parts-schaller-m4-machine-heads they can probably advise on drop-in-ness
