I object to that. I do not have a ridiculously expensive haircut! I must admit to being in the "not surprised but a little disappointed" group that so many people are happy to renague on a deal just because everyone else does it. I certainly flag them up as a non paying bidder or a non selling seller when it happens, and have my selling settings set to not allow anyone who has more than (whatever the minimum) strikes against them is.

The SB8 would be interesting, but I am not sure that is sufficiently different from a bass really. Or I guess if I was going to go that way the NS Stick would probably be more appealing. I would certainly like a stand. I am still getting the strings to a place where they are happy. And learning chords.

I would buy it and at some point later sell it at a large loss. Works for me But if I have got something on ebay I buy it, sometimes it is a good reminder of that the only reason to put a bid on anything on eBay is if you are prepared to pay the amount you bid for it. So what is it? A 6 string something for £225 doesn't sound the worse thing that can happen

My friend was raving about how good it was, have to see it at some point

Mine is on my pedalboard, which is a shame when I am not using that at practice as I keep tripping over the lead. The position of the transmitter never affected anything, but as it is one of those with a hinge (has to be said, quite a weak one) and I have a load of ibanezes, I have always just put it on the strap or on my belt.

1) no - that G string too close to the pointy bit on the headstock and the A string too close the other way 2) no - just looks like you forgot to do the bolts up. I have a headstock in my shed that looks a bit like that! (but worse as there are 12 of them)

If the looper is your main thing, why not get a headrush looper, cheaper than the helix, but a dedicated looper. If it was me for at home, i would just get something like a Zoom Z1-four and a boss RC300 / 505 And yes, the stomp is too new for anything else yet.

To me square looks better.

No, hoses just don't last as long as they used to!

I would say 2.5 hours to 3 is the standard here, although I have rarely paid for a rehearsal (directly!) and when I have it has been a tenner - and it better be a nice place for that! Or be different in some way. We save that for the gigs. Although to be fair, the guitarist never turns up drunk. Yep, sounds about right. ok - that is a new one on me!

In the same village, it had a quaint little country school, so if you didn't leave for work before school time you couldn't move for 4x4s parked across the roads and driveways, the village was also only room for 1 car width in the main road, so that was often blocked, and you certainly didn't want to walk, that would have been lethal. Nothing more dangerous than a pack of middle class mums in land rovers who aren't paying any attention to anything.

See now how can you take anyone seriously who says that?? In a village I lived in, yes, someone bought a house and then complained about the bells (although not sunday, wednesday bell ringing). Didn't get far, I think the answer was 'did you not notice that large church?'

No, its cost. A place near a venue is going to be cheaper as it is near a venue. People buy the cheap house and then complain about the thing that made it cheap, get the thing closed down, nice house cheap!

That doesn't seem uncommon for a lot of people. I think if mine gets to that point I will just sell it, as they are quite expensive things. Currently I am still in the learning if I can do anything with it stage. I noticed the one on ebay, don't see many of those and it seems all of my watches are still in place!

Smoothhound here. All of my basses are active.

Is there a noticable change in levels (assuming almost identical patches) switching between them when playing, like a click or something?

Can you switch individual effects on or off with the big buttons? Clearly you can ddo it with the little red buttons, but if you are gigging and want to turn the chorus on or the echo, can you do that?

Strangely enough, I just said to my wife how odd it was that all of the people of my generation got really old apart from us.

To be fair, he is quite old now.

Yes, I just finished watching that and the sound is great.

Have a look on here for the thread on SBL where scott explains it. No, youre not!

I hear this quite a lot. It seems that very few people stick with a stick, there are lots of "i usd to have one". So what made you get rid of your last ones?

http://www.guitarsbyleo.com/GALLERY2/main.php?g2_itemId=3099 is there a wire to the bridge?

It can if that connects to the metal. Either way it should connect to anything that needs earthing

Ok, that is just an earth lead, so it goes on the biggest chunk of metal you can find. Ideally it has to connect to the bridge or the strings somehow, if not just tuck it out of the way in a screw so it doesn't touch anything, all it does is ground the electronics to stop a risk of buzzing
