    Anderton's are normally my first port of call (after Amazon), but I had a hiccup with my GP-50 that I got from them them 17th Dec. I contacted them on the 16th Jan. They said 'We can arrange an exchange with you, provided you can return the item in the condition it was received, with all original content & packaging'. so after 4 weeks of use they expect it to be as brand new, otherwise they dont want to know? I now think twice about using them. As it happens I managed to kick start the box and its been fine ever since

    When we first started learning Hanging on the telephone it was at a time when we had no drummer, so was using a drum only backing track. We, more or rather the bass player, kept getting the gap wrong between the first and second verses. He insisted he had been practicing it all week and no way was he wrong. Started to have a go at the backing track being wrong. Even after i pointed out the drum track was actually the drum stem off the record, and it was Clem playing it he wouldn’t have it, although he did start to back track a bit. 🙄

    Since getting back from the Broken Peach gig my singer wasnts to cover their version/mash up of One way. Not sure the band are going to grasp it. Too stuck in their ways to want to be entertaining.

    Did you look at the size charts?

    My feelings 100%. I do prefer the IE400, but after using the IE100 for almost a year without realising they were swapped with the IE100 by the mistake, id have no hesitation using either and wouldn't look elsewhere except customs. I have very flat ears though.

    There are cheaper tips available. I like Comply but have also use the cheaper ones with good results. Comply also do various shapes as well as sizes. Lots of options to try. Id also look at the Sennheiser IE100’s (before getting the 215’s) which a few of us like. These are low profile and you might find the fit a bit better as there can be less pull due to them not having less bulk. Although single driver they sound full and punchy.

    I think even Nigel Harisson clocked that one back in the day.....😇

    Well he is a punk bassist 😀

    Or, as with many of us, he just wanted to put his mark on them?

    We started doing Picture this, and yeah, it took me a few goes to get it right. Love playing that song. It seems to jump around a bit, but in a good way. Hanging on the Telephone is another one that we kept getting wrong for quite a while. mainly the singer. It's one of my favs to plat though. We even use a sample of the phone ringing at the start. We already do One way or another, but even with two guitarists we still have to get the keys player (me) to platy the guitar line at the end of the verses. They just can't get it. About to start Call me as well. Looking forward to that. Good luck with the songs, as you say, great fun to play.

    Guess we see life differently.

    Ok but its not now. Surely a rant should be based on the current state of things? Anyway, id get one if the Bass Driver Elite wasn't coming out. I too thought it was too expensive at the £600+ price, but G4M’s price seems more reasonable to me. To me things like the Anagram or Quad Cortex are much more over priced, especially with Valeton and Zoom stuff around and much, much less cost. And DarkGlass stuff has always been expensive for what it is I like tech, but its easy to get bogged down in apps and what you can and cant do, so of rme it doesn't matter if there is an app or not.
  14. dave_bass5
    It came down in price between when you posted and when i googled it? 😂
  15. dave_bass5
    Do you mean this one? Its £481. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Tech-21-SansAmp-XB-Driver/6RGG?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22226322366&gbraid=0AAAAAD_kjLQkn8dZDxs3pJFvZ159DeUif

    I got this last year from Bass Direct. Its about 7 months old and only really used on my desk at home plus about 3 rehearsals. Ive been using my GP-5 and now GP-50 so much this is just gathering dust. im also eyeing up the new Bass Driver Elite so this will not really get used anymore. Works perfectly and has never missed a beat. I've never used the original PSU so thats still in the box as it came, along with all the paperwork/sticker etc. Looking for £180 posted Track24 to mainland UK, or £175 for collection in central London. You are welcome to come and try it, but as i live in a flat it will have to be at a very low volume, or with headphones.

    I ended up getting an Alto TX408, mainly as it was cheaper and Amazon had them. It seems very loud and punchy for something that size. Easily kept up with the band and drummer with volume to spare. Just wish it had more handle options like the db has.

    A bit more from Tim

    Broken Peach at the underworld in Camden last week. This was their first, and only UK date. Fantastic night. Never been to that venue before, although I have been upstairs a few times. They did a straight 90min non stop set, and had so much energy. Almost all covers but all were mash ups which made a change from the usual covers band gig. They took this at the end of the night and posted it on Social media.
  20. dave_bass5
    Ah, so you saw the singer on the far right. I didnt quite get a view of her most of the night. Yeah, they had so much energy, and seemed genuinely overwhelmed to be there which was nice. Strange place to come all that way for just of the one gig.
  21. dave_bass5
    Yeah, I thought it funny when the girls said their bodies couldn't take any more songs 😀 Where were you standing? We were to the left (looking at the stage) of the mixer.
  22. dave_bass5
    Yeah, ive just edited, didnt notice you said Set list mode. I'll let you know later. Just not sure it will cycle back to the start. You could certainly use the big knob to cycle between the patches, and use the foot switch to turn on and off the transpose, so that would bring it down to only needing two patches. You can also hold the foot switch down to get to the tuner while in control mode.
  23. dave_bass5
    Ive never used that mode, but I'll give it a try tonight and let you know if it cycles back to the first. It should.

    The P2 has Stereo XLR and stereo Jack input. What are you connecting it to? I use a single XLR to 1/4 jack for my IEM's in stereo.

    Saw Broken Peach Last night. What a gig. Those 3 ladies have fantastic voices and so much energy. Nice to see a band really enjoying themselves.
