Just switch to the Boss WL20, that’s what I did and it’s just as good. One end in your bass and the other in the input of your pedal board. The only difference I noted was having to charge both the dongles from a USB plug before a gig rather than just one.

I’m after one of these, so will be interested to hear your thoughts in it. what’s the pitch shifting like, does it go down in half steps?

They can’t be selling many of anything with these increases. am tempted by the new Boss Me90b instead which is a lot less

Does anyone know what's going on with Line 6's prices, in particular the HX products? They seem to have shot up in price over the last few days. I have been thinking of getting either a HX One or HX Stomp XL and as such have been monitoring the prices recently. The HX One has increased (at the usual online retailers) from £249 to £299 & £329 and the HX Stomp XL from £599 to £799, which is a 1/3rd increase in price! I appreciate cost of living & inflation etc, but these are huge increases. Am currently kicking myself for my indecision as a couple of weeks ago Guitar Guitar had the HX One for £229 and Stomp XL for £549 in their spring sale.

Can I ask how much you paid there? All the usual shops have them for £120 but out of stock, and I was wondering what the Roland/Boss shop price was

McDonald’s!

I used to have that Aerodyne Jazz but sold it, I always have regretted selling it

I managed to get a last minute ticket to see Dragonforce, and am currently waiting at Camden Roundhouse for them to come on. have seen them several times before and they always put on a good show

An individual selling a second hand item would not charge VAT on it. A business doesn’t have to register for VAT until it turns over £85k a year, so this seems an odd requirement from Reverb.

If they quit without warning and left you in a mess, I wouldn’t trust them again. Our ex drummer just did this to us, but said he would be available for any emergency cover - no thanks!

lol Ive not been there for 15 years, but I know where you are coming from!

Are there any other local jam nights that you can try instead?? Maybe a different group of musicians would give you a different experience? I worked in Coalville for years, you've got Loughborough & Leicester within easy reach. Don't let a bad experience knock your confidence 👍

I find this all time, especially for songs I learnt when I first started playing, and learnt from cassettes through rubbish stereos. Now I have a pair of decent headphones and digital music etc, things are always jumping out at me that I never knew where there

I need one of these t shirts, that’s hilarious!

What helped my confidence at the local jam night was to learn a couple of the songs that the house band played the week before, and then played those whilst the house bass player took a break the next week. Then we’d did a couple that I knew, and the house band also knew the thought of jamming on stuff I have never heard, or following charts etc fills me with dred!

I wonder how many times he has used the "do you mind if I hold my weiner on my lap" line!

Nevermind, at least you got to learn some new songs and play with some different people, which is never a bad thing. Good luck finding something else. I’ve put (another!) ad on join my band, and will try and get to one of the local jam nights next week in a bid to find something

Apple Music for me, and has been for years. I started using it when I got my fist iPod and have stuck with it ever since through iPhones & Mac etc. I like being able access my playlists on my work Mac, as well as on my iPhone when out and about and in the car etc. The rest of the band use Spotify, which is a pain for me as I don't really like it, and have to replicate all the proposed new song lists, setlist etc on Apple Music

I had it in my basket ready to order (as Andertons were offering free next day delivery on this when you normally have to spend £149) but have left it for now. I am trying to convince myself to not rush into it, even though I really want it

Good luck, and great thread idea 🤞

I just got an email from PMT about this as well, it looks great! I was on the verge of ordering a POD express for home practice, but this looks even better, esp with the bluetooth streaming, and I can use it on my guitar as well

Yes it did, they had gigs lined up and a reasonable bunch of songs. I didn’t like the whole setlist, but then I have never played in a band where I liked everything on the list - the majority was good though. If nothing else, I am finding doing things like this is increasing my confidence with playing with new people, and learning different songs

They didn’t really say why, just that they had gone with someone else. They said the singer had voted for me, but the guitarist and drummer had voted for someone else 😂
