ok, yes, all money is paid by the buyer so I guess you can say that fee is too, but it is a price on top of the sale that the seller doesn't get and can't avoid
-
eBay made a big thing about making listings free, so they got rid of fees on transactions and then added a manditory buyer protection fee, that the seller pays, that was higher than the fees in the first place. Means all the prices look stupid and it is not clear that when you make an offer to someone for say £100, it comes through to the seller as 'they made an offer of £87.32'

By who? someone completely deaf?!
-
Too early to tell on the MXR - I mean it will be the best seller at the moment as it has just been released so everyone will rush out and get it. See how it is selling when it has been out as long as the SY has been out.

Not sure what model you got but all of my LED lights, including the new one from Aliexpress have a 4 digit LED on the back with a select and up down button. I have a manual with mine, but it seems that the code is similar to my older lights so maybe it is a standard?
-
The drop down says the light is £138, the DMX controller is £29. The lights are in the tech spec, but so is the DMX controller so it is sold as parts.

Is this the end for the boutique bass?
Woodinblack replied to bassplayer76's topic in General Discussion
I had a custom build made because it was what I wanted, and I couldn't get what I wanted off the shelf. It plays more gigs that most of the others, but not all because I don't believe on having a bass that I don't gig (except a 4 string, but I have had it so long), so the others get used as well. -
Although the numbers are irrelevant (there is no real standard for that), the chapman stick railboard have a fret marker on the 2nd fret (2, 7, 12, 17 - who knows why).
-
more concerning is a lack of muting below the 0th fret
-
Maybe it is meant to be played more like an NS:Stick, but then the fan frets make very little sense. I suspect it was one of those 'because I can' rather than 'because I should' instruments.
-
Yes, the first fret on a chapman style instrument would be the zero fret, as you can't tap an open string.
-
-
Wow, I did hundreds of gigs with a hxfx and never had an issue. Mind you, never had an issue with my CTM100 either!
-
Indeed, that doesn't really make any sense. I assume thought that it isn't meant to be strung like a chapman stick?

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Woodinblack replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Should be good as the string spacing is meticulously adjusted making it easy to press the strings! Or as always when you see a page layout like that, you could just then go to aliexpress and find the same thing for £200 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007340673672.html -
turned up today, amazing for £36!

Seattle? Like Krist Novoselic and his Gibson RD Artist and thunderbirds, or Jeff Ament with his Hamer 12 strings? -
I watched a recent video about it on bass and I wasn't that impressed with its sounds, but it is small and useable so for gigging it is probably ok

notifications and reactions not working
Woodinblack replied to prowla's question in Site Issues and Questions
Not seeing anything in the logs here that relates to that. The 'Sorry there was a problem reacting to this content' is an error caused by mixing http and https, but I can't see why you would be doing that. if you force reload the page and click does it do the same? -
Keys required for neo-prog covers, Bristol/Bath/West Wilts
Woodinblack replied to Rich's topic in Other Musicians
Thats seems like my dream gig, except I am here in Yeovil and frankly my keys are a bit rusty! -

Woodinblack replied to bassplayer76's topic in General Discussion
a lot of them are hand made. Not hand made well, but still hand made in some shed somewhere. -

you type 1 / and 2, and the forum puts it together like this 7 1/2 or it used to! -

So are a lot of the basses on aliexpress. -
I have a U4 IEM (not using it at the moment as I am using the Lekato setup), and no they don't switch off, which is exactly how I would want it, I don't want something that decides it is going to switch off at any point, it has switched. Of course the only issue on the U4 is the switches are easy to knock on, although that isn't a problem if they are in in the official case (which I got shortly before I stopped using them!)
