  1. Thomann provide 3m rolls of 50mm adhesive hook and loop at an unbeatable price. But not if you aren't putting a big order together. The postage rather kills the bargain otherwise. I found this on Amazon and the 2 star review got me thinking. The customer received two rolls both hook (or scratchy) and no loop (or furry). I have enough pedal boards, I simply won't need more furry any time soon. If the mistake wasn't a one off I'll be quids in here. The parcel arrived, and I did indeed receive two rolls of the stuff that goes on the back of the pedals. And it sticks like sh1t to a blanket. Really really good stuff. Too good not to share.
  2. I never got my free bass strings, and they have never responded to any emails.
  3. @bremen beat me to the gag, so I'll be boring and answer the question. It's a very powerful, very clean little amp. I used the Glow plug to roughen up my sound because it's so clean. What makes it special is the onboard compressor. A real high quality bit of kit.
  4. For Bandeoke this evening. Orange Little Bass Thing into Barefaced Midget/Compact stack. and on top of the amp my secret make it sound a bit rougher sauce
  5. I bought the original and I can confirm that it needed the clean blend. However I have yet to try the Lizard King
  6. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the quality of their products.
  7. I would like to echo these remarks. I have both and prefer the MOSFET, I find them quite different.
  8. People talked a lot of trash about the brand back in the day, that stuff seeps into us whether we like it or not.
  9. OK as promised a short clip of the Behringer B-Tron followed by the Red Rocket Tron lll. I thought I'd stick with the same riff used above. The first thing i noticed was the B-Tron is compressed quite significantly in comparison with the Tron lll. Just a glance at the waveforms after I recorded the clips showed way more dynamic change within the Red Rocket recording. The B-Tron was very square by comparison.
  10. Lovely. If I didn't need a new clutch in my car I'd have this.
  11. I was about to make a similar post. The Digbeth probably tips the balance for me, but the Tone Hammer is a great option too
  12. First band I ever saw live. Lizzy with the Gorham/Robertson axis. Colston Hall I think in '77. Astonishing and absolutely life changing for me. Followed not long after by Motorhead.
  13. Not yet. It came with rounds when I bought it so I'll let them wear out first
  14. My reggae bass is ready. Friend of mine gave it a makeover...
  15. Fabulous bass this. Balances beautifully on the strap, looks a million dollars.
  16. What bass is Phil sporting here please?
  17. I did three gigs with my sunburst HB JP450 yesterday, and it received a lot of compliments for it's look and sound. I have to say it was extremely easy on the shoulder after more than five hours of gigging and I had no problem getting a good sound at wildly differing venues.
  18. That's a very good question. I'll try to record a side by side
  19. Gig number two was a success. Afternoon Sunday gigs can be a bit slow but these guys were up for it. Set up ready for number three now back in the centre of Bristol. My feet hurt.
  20. First of 3 today done. One hour set at a St Patrick's day thing in Bristol. Travelling light today because of all the travel.
  21. Mine just arrived and it definitely is not going back. A lovely wet, splashy envelope. The down stroke is the best I've heard. Looks great, sounds great 👍
  22. Nice covers all the essentials 👌
  23. Ha! I felt one of each would be enough 🤣
