Bought the ToneX from Paddy, smooth transaction for me, more trouble for him having to get the serials from IKMultimedia! Great transaction, thanks very much

I'm not at home ATM but according to the 'net the 34.25" scale version is 117cm total length.

Smaller than the bongo then, that is 123 including strap, so I would imagine it would fit fine.

7 or so years back got a CTM-300 which is my favourite amp of all time 

That is what I would have if I had a person that would carry my stuff around for me!

I have one of these, I had to get something bigger to fit my bongo, its the only one the bongo fits in well as its got a bit of a spikey headstock. In fact all things fit in it apart from the Sei 42", that doesn't fit anything. If you say how big the mayones is I will tell you if it is long enough

Maybe this was yours a few years ago?

That sounds fine for what it is, some extra effects, as long as you make sure the octaver never gets switched on!

Quickly made an account here to say that I got exactly the same message on Reverb just today. Different phone number but also from UK. Location 1702, Argentina.  Pretty big red flag.

Yeh, it seems once there is a scam you get a lot of it. That is what we get here.

I imagine Paul McCartney got given a fair few basses. 

Strangely over time, it seems he hasn't reeally had that many - he was given a couple of rickenbackers and a yamaha, the other things he seems to have got himself.

I can’t seem to find it on AppStore @EllaReidh

And a spammer isn't going to give you any useful info either, especially one I just kicked out.

For reference, anyone who resurects a year+ old topic, quotes a post and says 'thanks for the info', just expand the quote, you will find that they have put a load of links at the bottom that you dont' see as it is all collapsed.

Yeh, I would do a video, put it on an unlisted youtube link and send the link to the video by reverbs messaging system.

Following on from one of the other threads on this forum, the other band members would clearly like to have me back, and were thinking about hiding some gigs from my replacement so I could play them instead

I would hate to be in a band that did that. But as you have done 6 gigs in not much time, it doesn't seem his availability is that good, so maybe come to some arrangement about which gigs to do, as long as it is all up front.

The lasers @Phil Starr  mentions are a great idea. A bit hit and miss about what you get, I have three and one is rather more powerful. I always aim them up at the ceiling. 

They are great - just fill the ceiling with little red and green patterns for a fiver - whats not to like

Click on the three dots to the right of a video title of his - choose "Don't recommend channel", job's a good 'un.

Sadly not, I did that on video one, it still pops up, turns up on other videos, turns up on facebook, even when you select 'don't show me content like this' his smug annoying face turns up on the next thing, and even when you think he has gone, someone else will post his inane dribblings about how someone else is the problem with the world.

I don't know if it is big brother influencing my youtube feed, but he seems to be everywhere in bass related content at the moment. I quite like the guy. 

You are right, he is everywhere, all over youtube and all over here. If I never saw a video with his face on it again it would still be too soon. While I find it hard to accept the idea of hating someone you don't know, he is someone who could change that feeling for me. Don't know what it is, just absolutely detest videos with the guy.

How was my gig last night? I have no idea, I wasn’t there.

Sorry to hear that Greg - hope the next few months are as kind as they can be to you

 I can understand that Peter Hook's playing (or that of any bass player) may not be to your taste, but to claim that you have never heard of them is just being ignorant. 

Why can you not believe that someone hasn't heard of someone? Even as a bass player I don't know the names of most groups that I didn't have much interest in, and some that I did. I have heard of him from being on here and people talking about him, but most people of most groups I don't know so it seems reasonably likely that the majority of people wouldn't have heard of the bass player in a group that had a few top ten hits and a handful of more top 40s. I mean showaddywaddy had twice as many hits (including a number one hit) and I have no idea what their bass player is. I could probably name about 4 or 5 bass players from 80s groups at most.

In the end that is why I didn't go for the keys, because I wanted the MPC stuff, but I have a lot of keyboards I can connect it to

Hooky is my favourite bass player ever so I loved it, would have been bored to tears if it was a greatest basslines show

Maybe it was badly labeled then - I would watch a program called greatest basslines, but probably not something about peter hook. Still, put the series on record so I can skim over that.

Absolutely. It's the *perfect* device for me, because after 20 odd years of pushing every effects unit I had to its limits, I finally found something that did all the things I previously couldn't, but having an Anagram-style interface that turned on and off would really help people get started with it 

I felt enthused enough to think about what I was doing. For regular gigging I had a series of patches with various distortions, flanger, and generators (I play background chords and other effects as well), and when playing I switched between them with a external midi controller (as it is unreliable switching patches on the dwarf). There is a huge gap between pedal switches, so your post made me think, why am I even switching patches when I could easily just switch effects on and off.

So now I have redone it all into one big more thought out patch, where I just turn on distortions or not (actually switch channels, I have several distortion sections from a mild overdrive to OTT and switch between them), and the synth parts I just switch the midi between the channels - at the moment the only problem is the footswitch switches between bank 1 and bank 2 and I have to remember which is which, for some reason you can't rename the output!

At the moment it isnt right, the mild distortion is too mild, the heavy distortion too heavy and the echo is way ott, but enough that I can gig it and after each gig I can modify it. 

Great advice, you do tend to go through life thinking that you would get round to all these things later, only for later to come and go a lot.

but put them near anything that was emitting RF etc and they would buzz. 

Oh could be my issue, both the ME90 and my main pedalboard have bluetooth on them.

Mine goes straight into pedal one on my pedalboard (Boss TU-2) without issue.  Just to throw a spanner in your spanner, or something

Yeh, it seems that most peoples do but I have tried several, and going into either the dwarf or the Boss ME90B, if I go straight from the dongle I can't use any drive as the noise will be terrible without the extension lead. If you don't have this issue, then it is good value.

Luckily the more epensive XVive A58 doesn't have this issue, so my problem is now solved!
