  1. Welcome Strawbs - is the username a reference to your favourite fruit or to the band? If it's the band, then you're doubly welcome as i thought I was the only Strawbs fan on here!
  2. Er, thanks. I think. I can be round in about twenty minutes if you're sure it'll help 😕
  3. I got them to tune mine in the shop when i bought it....
  4. I suggested that you could be boring instead... 😁
  5. The word "angry" is redundant in that sentence... Just kidding. I don't mind a bit o'banjo now and again - although i find it best enjoyed in moderation 😀
  6. Hee hee. In my case, it means "learn". Then get distracted, forget, learn again, sleep, forget... Rinse and repeat...
  7. Agreed, unless it's done with grace and humour. And a combination of autocorrect and small keyboards is often to blame for the error in the first place
  8. Thank you.... Right, back to it.....
  9. Fellow BC-ers, can I ask you to please stop posting on the forum for a few days? I have to learn a set of audition pieces for a gig that i really would like to get and you lot are all distracting me from practising. Between Off Topic, General Discussion and the market place, I'm spending time on here which should be spent learning new stuff. So, can you all please quiet down for a few days? (Thinking about it, some of these pieces are a bit challenging - give me a week at least...) Alternatively, just try to be a bit boring while i get my head round these things.... Thank you for understanding
  10. That line is a perfect little gem. Thank you
  11. I was pretty much a musical snob until I turned fifty and actually learned to play an instrument. Up to that point my musical tastes ended around 1977 and were heavily prog and folk influenced. I studiously avoided anything American, metal, punk, funk, pop or disco - and generally any song less than twenty minutes long. Learning to play an instrument and joining a band made me open my ears to a lot of classic albums I'd missed first time round and I'm now listening to things I would have burned thirty years ago. I shudder at the memory of being such an opinionated kn@b for all those years (still a kn@b, mind, just with fewer entrenched opinions). I wish I'd had a teacher like Muzz's....
  12. And the White Heather Club. Whatever that was... some kind of Scottish Supremacist paramilitary outfit perhaps?
  13. Whatever you’re all on, can I have some?
  14. Now that summer is drawing to a close, the shops start to bring out the tinsel and thoughts turn to Yuletide.....and Yule logs
  15. Tim bought a Zoom R24 from me. A smooth and straightforward transaction with a very laid back guy who was a pleasure to deal with throughout. Recommended!
  16. REDUCED TO £70 inc postage via 48 hour courier. I bought this new a couple of years ago and used it at exclusively at home. It’s in excellent condition and full working order and comes boxed with the original power supply. I’ve misplaced the manual but these are easy to find online. The mixer is available for collection in North-East Lincolnshire or I am happy to post within the UK for £10.00 (POSTAGE NOW INCLUDED). Please get in touch to discuss other options. Thanks for looking – any questions, please drop me a note. Here's what a quick Google search had to say about the Yamaha MG102C... “This Compact Mixer Gives You Big Performance! The Yamaha MG102c 10-channel compact mixer puts big-mixer quality into a handy and affordable small format! Many real-world mixing applications only involve a few channels, so a small mixer is the obvious choice. But no matter how simple the setup, you'll always want first-rate audio quality and processing capability. The MG102c is ideal for live sound applications, offering excellent sound quality, flexibility, and ease-of-use, along with some advanced features you normally wouldn't find in this type of compact mixer. So whether you need a compact main mixer, or a secondary utility mixer for a larger application, the MG102c is a great choice. Yamaha MG102c at a Glance: Easy-access Connector Panel Four High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power Built-in Channel Compressors 3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs 10-input Channel Configuration The MG102c has a total of 10 input channels. Two of the stereo channels can be used as mono microphone inputs, providing a total of four microphone inputs when necessary. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB to -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB to +10dB for line input. Easy-access Connector Panel Top-mounted input and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. The MC102c sports high-quality Neutrik balanced XLR connectors on both mono microphone/line channels and two of the stereo channels. The XLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The two stereo channels on the MG102c provide phone jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with a wide range of sources. The two mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that let you patch external signal processing gear into those channels as required. Separate pin-jack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the output from a CD player or similar stereo source. Four High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power Microphone preamplifiers are critical in any mixer, and a performance bottleneck in many. That's why pros often spend thousands of dollars on just a single channel of microphone pre-amplification. The microphone preamps built into the MG mixers inherit technology from Yamaha's professional consoles, and have been painstakingly designed to deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone. All four microphone preamps also feature switchable phantom power so you can take advantage of the natural, extended response of high-quality condenser microphones. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all four channels. Built-in Channel Compressors This advanced feature can be a tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound. It can also be used to refine the sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. You won't find built-in channel compression on too many other mixers in this class, but in the MG82cx and MG102c you have Yamaha's innovative one-knob compression feature on mono input channels 1 and 2. Conventional audio compressors with their threshold, ratio, knee, makeup gain and other controls can be complex and time-consuming to set appropriately for a given source. Yamaha's one-knob compressor eliminates the need for an engineering degree with a single control that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression you want. 3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter Building a truly useful, musical-sounding channel equalizer is no easy task, but Yamaha has decades of experience in building pro consoles to draw on, and you reap the benefits in the MG-series mixers. Channels 1, 2, 3/4, and 5/6 feature full 3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls. Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs Located above the mixer's master controls, on the convenient easy-access connector panel, are the main stereo output connectors, phone-jack monitor output connectors, pin-jack recording outputs, and a stereo headphone jack. They may be compact, but these mixers offer plenty of connectivity for a wide range of applications.

  17. Mike just bought a Yamaha acoustic amp from me. It’s the second time I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with him and, as before, found him to be a complete gentleman throughout what was a very easy and straightforward transaction. Negotiation was easy, payment was prompt and he let me know when the item was delivered and that all was well with it. in summary then, the perfect example of a transaction in the Bass Chat Marketplace. Thanks Mike!
