You have a link sir?

I bought an overpriced piece of crap which I've attempted to make playable. Despite my non existent skills and patience. I figured it's worthless as is and I'm so cross - why not? What harm can it do? Gave up. Bunged it in a case and hid it in the corner. Every now and then I remember it and think about getting it out but hate it too much. Yesterday I weakened. Plugged it in and it didn't sound too bad. Then the jack socket stopped working. It's one of those awful barrel ones so now I need a new one of those. Back into the corner.

They are absolutely brilliant.

From the couple of YouTubers I've seen reviewing it, seems like a nice blatty fuzz

Yeah he's getting them all sorted still

I can remember like it was yesterday when I first picked it up in the music shop and played a couple of notes. In many ways I've been looking for that sound ever since, but of course it was just the first time I'd heard a decent bass. You can never recreate a 'first'

Went to band rehearsal last night and no one commented on my new knobs. Bar stewards.

The lovely man at https://affordaboard.co.uk/ has come into possession of a bunch of pedals, technically second hand, but as new. He's sorting them for sale later in the week but there's some reputable names on the list at attractive prices. Go to the site and select 'newest' in the filter and have a look.

I wish to associate myself with the sentiments of this post.

This is a hidden bass gem 💎 Two EHX pedals in one with a clean blend guaranteeing no loss of low end. Just picked it up for a great price on my way to the gig. I used the hot tubes as an always on and the crayon to kick things up a gear for the noisy songs. Early days obviously, but it sounded great tonight.

Uh huh ...

Yeah that's going to be fun, I have to stumble through that tonight. The rest are for Thursday but are going on a Bandeoke list so may not get played 🤞

Similar to @Lozz196's post above, my Aria pro 2 bass has been with me since I bought it new in 1983. I've bought many other instruments to stand alongside it but it's never been 'replaced'.

A few to learn this week... 1. I want it that way - Back Street Boys 2. Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf 3. I saw her standing there - The Beatles 4. You're the one that I want - Grease 5. Since you've been gone - Kelly Clarkson 6. New York, New York - Frank Sinatra 7. Lose Control - Teddy Swims 8. Master Blaster - Stevie Wonder

I like it a lot. I use it either as an always on pedal with the distortion set just to break things up a little, or set it higher and kick it in when needed, instead of using a separate distortion pedal. It's great!

A work of art. Thank you for sharing.

2nd set done. The interesting guy has picked up a tambourine to help us out. The sisters of the night have risen and danced to a couple of tunes. Excited to see how things develop.

1st set done and apart from one guy who is, I assume, taking the night off from welcoming cars to the village, it's like a room full of people in shock after some kind of natural disaster.

We are playing God's Waiting Room. 3 x 40 minute sets. The kind of venue where you can't really tell if the deceased members of the audience passed away during the set or were leftover dead from the previous week. One person raised an eyebrow during a song once but we couldn't tell if they liked it or were just coming up on the embalming fluid.
