  1. Never ever buying anything from BassDirect again. Purchased a Tech 21 YYZ pedal through their reverb store, paid for it and then got a message saying it's out of stock and been refunded but my refund will take 3-5 days to process which means I'm out of pocket until then and can't go purchase one somewhere else until that money is back in my account.

      Reverb and Ebay are often used as an advertising opportunity.

      Are you sure that isn't Reverb rather than Bass Direct?

      Where's your wife?  They're normally quite helpful in these kinds of situations.

  7. Does anyone know of a Wal-like LPDF filters out there which use three stacked controls rather than four (separate vol/pan)?  I'm talking to Lustihand at the moment but their solution doesn't use a pan, just two volumes.  I'm wondering if there are other options out there which include a pan.

      I believe I'd have to go through Alan for that.  It's for your old bass BTW ;)

      It's a small compensation, but at least the money stays in your pocket.

      I'm pretty sure the cheesiest 80's satire in the 80's didn't manage to be this cheesy.

      This is like a Death by Cheese pizza.  A three cheese topping on a pizza with a cheese stuffed crust and a portion of extra cheese with more cheese and then some bacon and some cream cheese and then some cheese wheels and a little bacon and then some cheese with some sliced gherkins a little bit of cheese on top before adding some cheese sprinkles, some pineapple and some cheese. 

      And then a cheese board for dessert.

      At some point someone is going to say "OK, we both knew that, 8kg of cheese ago, there was going to be enough cheese."

      But that's not the point.  The point is to get everyone talking about how much cheese there was.  And I'm sure Gibson will appreciate the extra views all this excitement will stir up.

  11. Hi, Just wondering if there would be any mileage in a short scale sub-forum in the Basses for Sale forum, like the one for lefties. Just a thought but it would help sellers differentiate and buyers find what they want without having to wade through pages of listings.

     

    Best, Pat

  17. Played the bass (quietly) to the unborn this evening - apparently it kicked hard.

    I'm going to take that as a positive crowd reaction.

      Congratulations! How do you feel about having a boy?

      Wise words from Daz there, too.  It can be gruelling and we have hired help!  Public holidays for us consist of non stop sleep deprivation while my daughter sleeps with us and she's recently started sleep jumping.  She'll feel for my body with her feet and pretend it's ground, then she'll try jumping up and down which in reality is her just kicking me with both feet at the same time.  She doesn't do it with my wife...oddly enough.

      Backing out of multistorey car park bays next to support pillars are my nemesis.  But yes anything below window line of sight is always a risk.

  22. 10 years today. Times flies but memories remain. Still much missed, you big daft softy. 💙

  23. Kelvin McKenzie in the doghouse again then. For saying the families of lost loved ones should sue the Chinese Government. Meanwhile a consortium of businesses in Las Vegas commence a class action against the Chinese Government.
    And right now on USA Today, this:
    As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the globe, one fact is increasingly clear: The Chinese Communist Party caused this crisis.
    At least the dogs are back in the doghouse in Shenzen. But no doubt they'll be back in the fryer once this sh*tstorm blows over.
