    So there is an advantage to it then

    If it is a second hand bass sent from a non vat registered source, such as a private individual, the price is actually £250, but if you are buying from outside the UK you have to pay an additional tax on it that wouldn't exist otherwise (ie, if it was in the uk or pre-brexit). the £250+Vat only applies for a VAT registered business.

    For reference, my 1505ms is 7.2lb, which obviously has another ¼ width of a neck and another tuner, so presumably slightly heavier

    I have been using Schaller strap locks for many decades and dunlops for about 8 years, haven't had either type fail, although the guitarist in my band had his schaller fail in a rather disasterous way (guitar hit the deck, fretboard split off!). I trust both of them. However, now it means I have basses with one, and basses with the other, and straps with one and the other (and straps with neither), which is a bit of a pain. I think overall I prefer the dunlops in that they still work with an ordinary strap (I know shallers can if you have a new enough strap), but I have some spare shallers to put on something, the new ones with the grub screw (which fixes the only problem they really had).

    Good that you are both doing ok now!

    ok, fair enough if it is another band. Same here - Like I said before, as long as everyone knows where they stand and come to a common agreement then all's fair.

    I am sure anything could be argued, but i wouldn't understand anyone thinking it was civilised. I guess it comes down to whether you would be happy if you had a problem, you told it to your band mates and they all said it wasn't a problem, don't worry, and then some mate contacts you and says "Oh I saw your band gigging, so you left then?". Personally I would think they were a bunch of organs that can't be mentioned on basschat. I would be sympathetic but if the agreement was we would continue without him, I would like to think I would have the globes to tell him to his face. You are right, life is too short, but you can choose to try and make it as good as it can be for people

    So pretend to be sympathetic and supportive of the drummer to his face and then form another band behind his back. I believe it is quite common. Not something I would do.

    No, because the bluetooth latency is too high. Plus my bluetooth headphones are little earbud things, where my wired headphones are nice large ones. Yes, I do have wireless in ears for gigging, but not bluetooth and I don't tend to use them in the house.

    Well, enjoy anyway, I got the CV mustang and really enjoyed that - this should be even better, especially in that colour

    Although as mentioned above, I have a Smoothhound which I am happy with, I got some of those cheap 2.4ghz dongle type wireless things as an 'around the house' thing a few years ago, used them at a few practices too. Range not as good but pretty reliable, and it meant I didn't have to take my pedalboard. Then they went missing, so later I wanted some more and as I had had trouble with 2.4, I went for some 5GHz ones. They are bigger (no heavier though, a couple of grammes!) and they work fine. Again round the house and practices, but tbh, I would have no problem using them live either, they are very good, and the battery life is good enough for our gigs (3hrs+). The others turned up in the end, in a gig bag of my backup bass that I hadn't taken anywhere since the pandemic!

    Who stopped supplying them? Was it a deal on a shop where you got it?

    Had a good gig on Saturday, not doing too many at the moment as not really fully back from the plague and also the band is a bit in flux. However, a place we had done before with an awful building, a skittle alley, aka a long thin tube especially designed to make everything sound bad. As it happened, not sure if it was the decorations or the number of people, but the sound wasn't as terrible as last time. It was well populated as they were also having a haloween party, people had made quite the effort to dress up and were out for a good time, as the first gig in that village. We used to do ghostbusters but dropped it several years ago as we didn't like it and it always messed up. Decided on the thurs practice to resurect if for saturday if we could get it right. Practiced it in the sound check and it still wasn't right but it worked out ok as instead of playing it, we did the rif as a background music when they were doing the fancy dress competion, and it worked well for that. In the end went on well, everyone enjoyed it, usual collection of over drunk girls wanting to sing and talk to us while we were playing, but occupational hazzard. Way more enjoyable than I expected.

    I would be at your door now if I lived close enough - good luck with it. If you decide to ship I am happy to have it!

    It is perfectly possible to go to a live event and while you are there, watch a streamed event. Don't know why you would, but it is possible!

    If you have something crackly, have a word with them. I had the metal body of mine replaced when the plug fell off. Although if you have two crackly, are you sure it is not the thing you are connecting to?

    Maybe he had remembered at that point he was Adam Clayton?

    Almost certainly someone somewhere has bought pretty well everything not realising the liability to pay duty and got really annoyed about it. It is a huge change, for years we didn't have to, now we do, and people don't read. You can plaster anything with warnings and notices and it still won't get read. My wife has a shop and she will put a notice on a front page, the item page, and the email conformation about something and if there is one thing you guarantee you will get someone contacting you saying they didn't know whatever it was.

    Trouble is then you have a lot more topics. Basses for sale UK, Left handed basses for sale UK, Amps and cabs for sale UK, Amps and cabs for sale EU, Amps and cabs rest of the world. It would be better to have a flag for restrictions, but that makes a whole heap of trouble with updates etc.

    except I never said that, so your quote appears mangled

    I have a load of luminous ones that I got as a present. Work well with the right light!

    I didn't misread what you wrote. The danger of the non swamps is their human fauna.
  23. Woodinblack
    Not so sure, I have driven round Louisiana, and frankly, there are a remarkably large amount of urban non-swamp areas where a bit of radiation would be the least of your worries.

    Got this brand new at the end of august, and have used it in one practice and a bass bash and plugged it in a few times. As new condition, boxed with the paper in the manual, unread as all the resources are on here for it. Amazing thing, great synth pedal for bass, just not really something I am ever going to find a use for as ultimately I have synthesisers and don't do many synth based songs. Got it just to try it out. Save yourself the cost of the import charges!

    They got to pay for that fancy new station somehow
