Right! Time to sell a couple of good solid non-D Class amps then! Expect an advert or two tomorrow!
-
Seriously people, stop selling such nice instruments at a time when I can't get an appointment to sell a kidney!!!
-
So, the ever present question: Do I sell all these bits of kit that I don't actually use anymore, or keep them on the off chance that a band (job) might require them in the future. I could do with the cash frankly, but the value of the kit could mean that if I buy again in the future, I could end up paying more in the long run. Hmmmmmm

I have come to the conclusion that the stuff we keep "in case" is 90% redundant. Whenever I do get called to do anything, as soon as I get jiggy with esoteric bits of kit I get a look from the producer or keys player that says "do what you do well and we will do all that fiddly stuff".
But which 10% is not redundant?

My father has a barn full of just in case things. Hope I'm going to die before him... Don't want to move, sort or sell all these things...
I remember some years ago when I started buying all the good deals I was seeing. I ended up with my two cars garage full of boxes of high end hi-fi components, instruments and amps. Sold everything and made a lot of money as lots of these things were bought for peanuts.
If you don't use them, sell them and use the money for what you really need.

Sudden urge to own a tonehammer.

Gotcha!
Funnily enough the Magellan adds a bump to the lower mids too as well as cutting the extreme high and low frequencies to make a thick, smooth mid rich valve like drive that works brilliantly in the mix, better than any other drive that I've tried (of which there are many!). It's perfect for Motown and dad rock stuff although I often leave it on for the whole set, everything from Andy Williams to the Foo Fighters
Never had a chance to gig the Tone Hammer, unfortunately.

The HX Effects delivered! No problems there. Now, about this Helix LT....

@Bridgehouse Interestingly, LT hasn't been used for anything other than gigging! - I have the Helix Native plug in for recording etc and I practice at my computer. So LT has just gone up for sale!

Toying with selling Helix LT in favour of HX Effects.. hmmmm

Visitors to BC over the years may well have seem me bang on about what I suppose is still a favourite 'tonally coloured' speaker cabinet, the Hartke 4.5XL. I've had about 6 of those 45Kg beasts over the years. Too heavy for my poor back now. Imagine my excitement when I find I can have 600 different IR's of this famous cabinet to play with on Helix and my DAW???!!!!! Could I have 'Dan's 90's Tone' back again??? Watch this space! (My back says thank you)

@SpondonBassed - You beat me to my reply - yours is a bit more concise and yes spot on. What's funny is that in terms of being coloured (in) the Hartke 4.5XL has aluminium cones and thus are shiny silver. The crayons are nice... but you know... shiny!!! (oh man. I'm a Magpie)

Watch the Chernobyl TV mini-series. If you are 40 or over, you will probably recall seeing the news when you were young. You will want to see this series. It is very, very good. Moving and true to the events that shook the day and following years.

best programme ever apparently.

Well, there's my Dingwall up for sale.
-
What's happened to BC? I can't seem to post anything at all! I type a long post and it just refreshes back to the start of the thread without entering any text. Anyone else having trouble?
-
The site is a bit laggy in places. I've noticed it takes several seconds to load all of the components on a full web page. Are you on a full screen or a mobile Dan?
There seems to be a back-up cache on the BC side of things that holds the user's draft text in case of a client disconnect. In areas of the forum that require a log in it can be problematic trying to retrieve it but it is usually saved there until the text is officially posted by the user. I can't be arsed to troubleshoot or report it. I'd guess that your submissions were stuck in that cache for some reason.
Nice as the upgrade was, I think mobile users got more from it than users on full sized displays.

When the bass in the shop window that in no way you could ever afford to buy is sold..
-
Wow! Helix LT is back with vengeance, I think my HX Effects will go up for sale with some other kit tomorrow!
-
You know that feeling where you contemplate selling everything you really don't need and keep the bare essentials? Yeah, something like that.

Oh mate.. I DO need a bigger house WITH an extension. Tough one on the kids actually. I kind alike them both. Maybe I could get the older one to do some Saturday work on the oil rigs to bring in some extra cash. Possibly a bit on the little side to operate the cranes and the like though.
Anyone know the lottery numbers coming up??? Or has won the lottery and not sure what to do with the odd 100 thousand? lol
-
It's worse than that for me. Sometimes I end up in a bad place mood-wise, which results in feeling like I should sell all the gear I have and then start again from scratch.
Inevitably, this happens in moments of deep, desperate, despairing dissatisfaction with my sound. Don't judge me - we've all chased tone dragons, I'm sure.
Thankfully, most times I manage to avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater and keep a vaguely sensible head on my shoulders.

Sorry to bother you all, could I ask you to head to this link and subscribe to my YouTube channel?Expect good things soon!

Anyone here own my ole Tobias Pro 6?

Colour co-ordinated my signature and avatar.
Guess I need to get out more often.

Does anyone have any recordings of a (their) Fender 58 Roasted Ash Precision Bass?

I am an independent (freelancing) music gear video reviewer and demonstrator. If you own or know of a brand who are looking to have video footage produced for social media, drop me a line. I’d be interested in working with you.
Maybe you are a shop wanting to show off basses for sale, or are a small company producing pedals, a massive worldwide brand wanting quality media by someone who knows what they are talking about or simply want a company introduction video; let’s have a chat.
I’m also working on producing voice over media as I have a studio set up here too.

I'm really liking Basschat V2.1! Or is it V3.0? Hmm!
-
I've just uploaded a new cover picture and avatar to match my Facebook pages!

I've recently started recording all my own review videos for Bass Gear Magazine based in Ohio. Yes, I still write for Bass Player Magazine as I have been every month for the last (nearly) two and a half years, but I would love for you to follow this magazine and YouTube channel too!

It does mean that I've not been posting to my own channel, but would really appreciate a follow there too, please!!

I want to produce the best videos I can, so I'll be keeping an eye on threads like these to improve my content!
-
Thank you @BillyBass!! Loving it!
-
It has only taken me X years to finally get round to switching out the two band Glockenklang pre in my MIJ Fender for a three band Glockenklang! It will, after many years, match its sister MIJ!
I adore my Power Jazz Bass Specials!
-
Jazz/Precision Bass with Ric pick-up positions anyone? I wanna hear it out of interest!

@eadThank you! I would LOVE to hear it - especially as you also have EMGs on board which will be what I go for. I may choose J pickups, but now I have seen EMG P's in situ, I am intrigued!
