Thank you!

I was looking at this thread from @zvirus and it got me thinking. I have a power bank designed for 9v effects pedals but it has gone hooey on me. Still charges, holds its charge and I can still run pedals from it. But the led which indicates it is charging, turned on, or when power gets low has failed. So I can use it no problem, just charge it up night before I need it and I'm good to go. But it would be good to know when it's fully charged without reaching for the multi meter, or to know it's on, or off. Would it be possible to plug something like @zvirus has made into one of the outputs and have it light up when power get's too low, or come on when power is full and go off when it reaches a certain level (which might be better)? It has two outputs so using ne for this would be fine.

Noticed how seldom they get sold on too?

I get you. Even if they were a bit pants, brand new for that money is hard to argue with. But when they play like a dream, well.

I'd be surprised. The cheaper option is this one which I didn't even consider until very recently. I thought it looked a bit unremarkable. But my goodness it plays and sounds really nice.

There is something weird going on with HB basses. Thomann seem to be bringing out endless guitars right now but their basses are either vanishing from the site or have really long wait times. I don't know if Covid is a factor, that's what I first assumed. Maybe I'll message them and ask. I will have nothing to spend my money on if they don't get jiggy with more basses soon.

I just bought a cheap one on ebay I usually turn Bluetooth off on devices I'm not using as a matter of course so never had a problem with it looking to connect elsewhere. I don't take it anywhere so can't say if other people's phones would be an issue.

I don't really get good deals. The Del Boy is not strong in me I'm afraid. I think I've been responsible for a couple of other people getting good deals though. I think the trade I did here in a motorway services was the best I've done. Not because the other guy got ripped off, but I got an amp I really love and I gave a bass I never really bonded with. So for me that's a win.

The essence of Basschat in two posts 👆

I don't enjoy the best of health so my energy levels play a huge part too.

I have added a little Bluetooth receiver into the headphones socket so one less cable, makes it much easier to play music from my phone. Oh, and an app called Musepic which opens any YouTube video and allows you to select and loop any part. Really useful when learning .

I thought it was pictures of ladies with nothing on.

I've just realised I don't think I know what clickbait actually is 🤣🤣🤣 No wonder I didn't understand the problem

I confess I click on on all their videos regardless as I enjoy the content. Out if interest what is it about this one in particular you didn't like?

Tobacco and black. My vote is with @DoubleOhStephan. What a killer combination.

Haven't had access to the garage so can't get in the shed. I'll get to it ASAP. Apologies for the delay, to those of you enjoying the thread.

Andy, your work is sublime. You've literally transformed the instrument. I followed all the steps (thanks to the clarity of your explanation) so grasp the tangible. However it is the magical which floors me. I admit to not being keen on the shape when I first saw it. But, without altering the essential contours at all, you have somehow transformed it. I now love the shape. That, sir, is genius.

Joking aside, the pipe down the throat sounds absolutely hideous. So glad you got through it.

Trust a bloody guitarist to think those two basses look remotely alike! Congrats. There is always a buzz off a new bass. But that feeling of utter indulgence when getting two is something special.

Don't know how they've passed me by. Unless maybe it's something to do with me hoovering up every last Harley Benton on the planet. Kind of found my brand 😅

If I had to fix to a stud wall I would fix a batten to the studwork and the hangers to the batten. No danger that way.

My god, your first natural fart must have been a thing of splendour
