  1. I came across Hermes for the first time this week. I ordered some floor mats for the car from Amazon. I went away over the weekend, and obviously Hermes tried to deliver them while I was away. I had a little card thing to say that they had attempted delivery but no indication of what was happening now - it didn't say whether they were attempting redelivery or whether I could collect from a depot or anything. So I called them to find out and they said that because I was the buyer they couldn't give me any information. I had to back through Amazon so that they could ring Hermes and find out where the mats were. It was the most frustrating experience I have had with a delivery company. I have never come across one before that won't talk to the people it is delivering to. It seems like a bizarre system.

    I've got a nice little 1x12 combo amp for sale. It is a Behringer, which obviously comes with the usual stigma, but this has been reliable, and sounds pretty good. It's got an aluminium speaker cone and comes in a tilt-back format, which is great for monitoring on stage. It has two footswitchable channels which share the 4-band EQ but have seperate volume controls, and the second channel has a sort of one-knob-tone control. I used to use this with a large big band and it used to be able to keep up pretty well, even on the louder tunes. I had it set up so that the second channel was louder and more trebly so that I could use it for solos. I believe that the original footswitch is still in existence, although I'm pretty sure that it is at my parents house so I will have to dig it out. I should be there next week at some point so I will have a look.

    This is too heavy and low value to be worth a courier, so collection from Leeds would be ideal, or I could deliver within a reasonable distance.

    Here is the page on the Behringer website: [url="http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BX1200.aspx"]http://www.behringer...cts/BX1200.aspx[/url]

    And it looks just like this:

    I have something new coming in next week so I need to make space. I have a Vintage (JHS) brand 5 string bass. No idea what the official model number is but I own another bass the same shape which is a V940FL which is a 4 string fretless so maybe this is a V950?

    It is black, has an active preamp, blue strings and a PJ pickup configuration. I have owned it for approx 10 years and it wasn't new when I bought it, so I don't really have an idea of the age of it, but it plays well enough and doesn't sound horrible. Could be a good starter bass or a nice cheap squeeze for someone to try out a 5er for the first time.

    Make me an offer I can't refuse. Would prefer pickup from Leeds or I can deliver within a reasonable distance.
