    Is it me, or is the Classfieds slower than ever at the moment?  Noticing a LOT of stuff hanging around for ages that would have been snapped up not so long ago...

      Yup, it's as slow as a Yorkshireman trying to finish a sentence.  Took me 2 months to shift my amp, despite several people telling me what a great price it was.  Oh well, got there in the end.

    After doing some reading around the subject and looking into posts on Talk Bass, it seems that the issue I'm having with my Elf is that I'm just playing too hard and making the amp overheat, as it only really becomes an issue when I go hard playing with a pick, and in particular when I'm using my P-bass which has a much hotter output from the ceramic pickup than my Sire with Alnico pickups does. So it looks like the Elf will be relegated to a backup and rehearsal amp only, which is a shame as it sounds great. 

     

    What's that you say? Just play softer? What kind of madness is that?

      My apologies for the implication of idiocy.  So it's happening even with an appropriately set gain?  Disappointing :(

      It's got a gain knob, just back that off a little?  Am I missing something here?

    Now the owner of a Squier Dimension 4 string. A bit oddball and quirky design but it's good fun.

    Just put new strings on my Epiphone Casino. Took about ten times as long as changing bass strings.

    Why can’t I buy coloured pickup covers for a jazz bass, that aren’t black, white or cream?

    Just made a list of all the basses I’ve owned - 20 over 28 years. That’s OK, isn’t it? 😎

      UK stocks of G&L CLF L-1000s are dwindling though - that's a reasonable price for that rally red one and both Andertons and GG appear to have no L-1000s available ATM.

    The Inevitable Teaspoons new album Money For Old Rope is out now on all your usual streaming suspects.

      What service is that?  Aw man, it's only one track that's marked as explicit - and that's because the sax player made a squeak at the end of one of the tracks then dropped the F-bomb and we left it in because we thought it was funny :)
