  1. It looks like it'd be good for quidditch
  2. If you're playing with unamped acoustic guitar, unmiked vocals and maybe a cajon (or bongos) The Roland Micro bass cube RX will easily be loud enough. It is tiny, light, sounds great and can run off six AA batteries. It has recently been discontinued after being available for the best part of a decade, but they pop up secondhand occasionally. I bought mine secondhand for £100 a few years ago.

  5. I have not compared them side by side, but I believe they are identical in performance. Plugging in the Boss and setting all the knobs to 12:00 felt instantly familiar from my years of previously using the behringer.

  8. For a long time my always-on compressor or choice was a cheapo Behringer BLE100 Bass Limiter Enhancer. A few years ago I 'upgraded' to a TC Spectracomp and have had that on my board since. A few weeks ago I saw a Boss LMB-3, The pedal the BLE100 is a clone of, at good price and as I felt nostalgic I bought it to see how it compared. I put in on my board with the same settings I favoured on the BLE—all knobs at 12:00 and it just 'felt' right and sounded natural and transparent. It feels a bit like a step backwards but the spectracomp is off the board for now and the LMB-3 is staying put.

  11. You can’t go wrong with a Kala - they make pink sopranos in their less expensive ranges—the ukeadelic or the dolphin. If you want something that is more of a step up, There is also a rather attractive pink sparkle concert for around £100: https://www.mannsmusic.co.uk/ukulele/kala-ka-sprk-pink-pink-champagne-concert-ukulele.htm?opt=12468&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr_fW7azL-wIVR-3tCh2NAgjKEAQYEiABEgLhovD_BwE

  14. I dont know about most other models of Fender bass, but the JMJ mustang is a bit special and Fender mostly got everything right—certainly the feel and the tone are outstanding and none of my other basses come close. The price might seem high for what was originally designed to be a student instrument, but I'm seriously considering getting a black one to keep my blue one company.
  15. The Shoe Salesman - The Residents and Renaldo and the Loaf
  16. Nice Old Man - The Residents
  17. Wee stole this riff - The Residents
  18. It seems to work exactly the same as it was before the update. I've not had to reselect the transmitter yet.
  19. Well, I did the update. My headphones are now at v1.3.0 and are still working perfectly. The update procedure did seem a bit unnecessarily convoluted though and it took a few goes for my MacBook to see the WAZA-AIR B drive.
  20. Fire Fall - The Residents
  21. Passing the bottle - The Residents
  22. I listen to beatles albums quite often, along with the Who and the stones. I wouldn't say any of them are my favourite band as that distinction changes from one week to the next. Lists of greatest this or that in magazines are usually unquantifiable nonsense to pad out a few pages and run ads alongside.
  23. I love the way these ebayers are so opinionated: [quote]8 string basses are an extremely versatile tool that every bassist should have in their arsenal.[/quote] er, no I don't even support Arsenal and I have no need for an eight string bass whatsoever.
  24. I've had a few from voodoo decals which I have been very pleased with https://www.voodoo-decals.com/products/fender-vi-bass-gold?_pos=1&_sid=4b52c4bcc&_ss=r I've not tried crox guitars but have heard recommendations http://croxguitars.com/decalbass.htm
  25. And I was alone - The Residents
