Just bought my Ditto looper pedal. It was a very smooth and easy transaction. 😊

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1454766977' post='2972783'] Some examples of the type of wisdom he uses....The quotes are actually spoken by the fictitious character, Michael. "Now, we have ten different but equal parts of music, [i]notes, articulation, technique, feel, dynami[/i]cs,[i] rhythm, tone, phrasing, space and listening..." [/i] Who would have thought that "playing" spaces was part of music?? He goes on to say: "To play music, Good techniques is a must. You can know all the notes in the world. You can have the best ideas in the world but you need good technique to get them out. Your technique can be unorthodox, but if it is inadequate you will not be able to express yourself freely; you will frustrate yourself instead. Good technique allows you to use all the other elements at will..." Struck a chord (no pun intended) with me...

Bearing in mind I go by train, if not all the way then at least part of the way. Two cables coiled and in the one pocket of my gig bag. My music goes in the other pouch. PJB double 4 in its gig bag on my trolley. I've started using an Aguilar tone hammer pre, that fits in the double 4's gig bag where the power supply should go. I keep the power supply in the front pouch of the double 4's bag. Stool folded up and also on the trolley, along with my music stand and my mini Hercules guitar stand. Bass bag goes on my back. That's me set for pretty much any gig.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1454676057' post='2971929'] Nice live stuff from Frankie in 1984 here... Mark O'Toole rocking a nice Cutlass I by the look of it. I thought they couldn't play..? [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOWTtYgPmlg"]https://www.youtube....h?v=BOWTtYgPmlg[/url] [/quote] They went through a lot of session players trying to get the single recorded, and sounding right. At one point they even had the Blockheads in the studio. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l1wMw27KDI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l1wMw27KDI[/url]

Where are you studying ? I graduated last year, I opted for recording for my final project. I figured a lot depended on it, and too many things could go wrong . We had to do original stuff though, even if it had been performance.

Have you tried looking in the feedback section, see if feedback has be left for the seller in respect of the bass ?

I would just ask the seller to contact the buyer, to let him/her know that there's someone who wants to buy it, should they not like it.

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1454687168' post='2972101'] Used them loads very satifactorily and their customer aftercare is excellent too. [/quote] That was my opinion of them until this week.

I barely listen to stuff that does have. I listen to loads of classical music, and experimental ambient type stuff.

[quote name='roman_sub' timestamp='1454686051' post='2972079'] I try to avoid DV247 at all times, they come across as cusomer-unfriendly. On occasion, they are the cheapest ones around, though... [/quote] They certainly are customer unfriendly. I resorted to posting on their Facebook page, then via Facebook messenger, my emails remain unanswered.

[quote name='Ruck' timestamp='1454686057' post='2972080'] Bass was from Germany. But yes i should of taken a holiday over to get it. Ive recieved many basses from Europe and USA with no problem in the last 17 years. This is a first for me. [/quote] Didn't realise that, but I just don't trust them I guess.

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1454676498' post='2971940'] I don't think he is going to pay £85 for a bridge. [/quote] I didn't notice the price, wow !

This is why I always collect. You can get advance train tickets for a really good price if you're prepared to be flexible. I picked by Roscoe up from Warrington, the fare was £12 return.

Well I've had my shipping refunded. You really shouldn't need to go through Facebook though. Their Birmingham shop used to be great, I had loads of gear off them over the years.

I actually prefer the cream one.

Use Facebook, post something on their page. That's what I resorted to with DV247.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1454668005' post='2971789'] I agree with Dad about the volume, really, really low. I have read before your view on it, and agree mostly, but I think there has to be a compromise somewhere. But saying that....... I like the piece very much, works very well (although more as underscore). The Spitfire strings sound lovely, other Spitfire sounds there as well? Possibly Edna or Enigma? Although a bit pricey, Spitfire Audio really do deliver superb libraries. I have a few myself. Have you been over to their budget page? £2.00 an Instrument (Spitfire Labs Range). The 'Scary Strings' Patch is very nice indeed, works very well on Ambient material, so does 'Henson's Frozen Strings'. [url="http://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/ranges/spitfire-labs/"]http://www.spitfirea.../spitfire-labs/[/url] [/quote] Hi, Thanks for the feedback. It is indeed a very fine line between being too quiet, and how I want it. I maybe need to play things back on my phone, or just through my Macbook speakers to gauge the volume more accurately. I'm using the Albion strings that you put me onto a few years ago, there's also the Leo Abraham Enigma library. The piano is off Logic and the synth is Logic's Alchemy. I hadn't seen those budget ones, there's a few there that I'm going to get, thanks for the link. I fancy the Olafur Arnalds libraries that they've got too. They're pretty good with student discounts, which is really useful.

Well they stopped replying to my emails about it. So I posted on Facebook about it, attaching a screenshot of the tracking that hasn't updated since Wednesday afternoon. They've now sent me a message on Facebook apologising, and offering to refund the shipping charges. The strings are coming from Germany, despite the website saying that they're in stock at shops over here. It's very annoying, I was hoping they'd be here for a gig I have on Sunday. I paid £54 for them, they're £79 at Strings direct, but I think Strings direct have better customer service.

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1454674869' post='2971900'] Did you order them online? If so then they are probably coming from Germany as they are a German owned company [/quote] I did yep, I didn't realise they were German. It said they were in stock in branches, which is why I ordered them.

I've ordered stuff off them quite a few times. I just ordered a set of Thomastik flats for my Roscoe. They're a great price there, £54 for a 6 string set, most places charge £70 upwards. Anyway, they were ordered Wednesday lunchtime, instead of just popping them in the post 1st class, they've sent them by UPS. I'm told to expect them early next week. So much for having them fitted in time for a gig Sunday evening. The tracking shows they aren't even in UPS possession yet. Very annoying.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1454638408' post='2971631'] Some people never learn, do they..? I even turned the volume up to 100%..! One day, perhaps, I will understand; one day... [/quote] Headphones ? I really appreciate you listening though, thanks !

One of my shortest pieces for ages. [url="https://soundcloud.com/an-ending-ascend/8a-1"]https://soundcloud.com/an-ending-ascend/8a-1[/url]

They sometimes also spell the from email address wrong. I had one recently that was from [i]npaypal.co.uk[/i] You had to look closely to see the email address spelling. I was alerted by the fact it was address to dear customer or something, they didn't use my name.
