You guys do know that Headstock is one word right? 🙂

If you haven't seen this show its well worth watching. Most of its on YouTube.

Nope, never have, although sometimes through amazon. Mostly i buy from Andertons, GAK and G4M. As i said, Amazon is my first port of call, but that doesn’t mean i only buy from them. In fact for instruments they are useless, but i still look first. I dont drive, work 5-6 days a week, i dont have time to go to shops, and to be honest I prefer to buy on line and have the safety net of having 14-30 days to return something if i dont like it. I recently got a bass on line that was £150 than the nearest competitor, but the shop is about 600 miles from me. I asked my local stores and the above stores to match and none wanted to know. The shop i used is a small shop in Glasgow, so in a way i did support them, it just wasn’t local to me lol. .

I’m a huge fan of this series, but I only just came across this episode and it blew me away. Such a lovely groove.

Or even delivered the same day as ordered. I use Prime Now quite a bit, although admit its mainly for booze and snacks. I did get them to deliver a set of bass strings a while ago though. Ordered 3.30pm on a Sat, arrived just after 8pm that evening, along with 2 bottles of wine and a litre of Rum lol.

Amazon is my first port of call for any purchases, even socks or deodorant 🙂 I work very hard and have no issues trying to make my money go further. I tried supporting my local music shops years ago, but realised they weren't doing much to support their customers.

Haha, well put. The Yammy and Mojomojo will have their first gig on Sunday. Im not even going to bother taking my BDDI.

Over the last couple of days ive re-discovered my Mojomojo OD. I got it last year and used it once, didn't really feel it was what i was after, and it went in the drawer until Wednesday. Ive been a huge lover of the BDDI tone, and as much as i try and get away from it i keep going back. in fact i recently got a Programmable BDDI, as well as having a BDDI v2. Since getting my Yamaha P34 ive preferred the tone without the BDDI, its seem to take away some of the mid punch. It works well with my Fender P bass, but the P34 is not an average P sounding bass and loses something when i use a BDDI. My COG 66 Knightfall sounds more neutral and could be 'the one' if it wasnt for the fact that i dont want to use mains powered effects at the moment. The Mojomojo seems to be just perfect for what im looking to do now though.

Have you seen the Boss WL-60? not as cheap as some but looks interesting.

As I’m only using two pedals now i have to plug my receiver in to the side of my MXR filter. On the floor. I use a right angled male to female adaptor so its not sticking out of the side of the pedal in a way that if i stamp on the pedal it will snap off.

You do know you were the second person to post about using Xvives dont you lol.

This is what i used before getting the G30. Ive still got it somewhere. It never gave me any issues other than as you say, battery life can be quite short. Before this i had the AKG Bug. Again, no issues.

For me it was cost. I knew i wouldn't be playing any large venues, we are a self contained function band. The Line6 has been more than stable enough. Ive now gone to the Boss only because its smaller and doesn't need a PSU so more convenient for me.

As i posted above, the standard WL-20 has a freq attenuation that is supposed to emulate a cable. I found it a bit too severe. Personally i prefer the full range version and knock the top end off on my amp if needed. Better to give the signal a fighting chance IMO.

One of the nice things about the Boss WL-20 system is there are 14 channels, so less chance of clashing with someone else. The system scans the area and finds the least congested channel. The downside is there is no way of setting this manually.

i used to get 3 gigs (2/12 max per gig) out of one charge, using Eneloop Pro's rechargeable with my G30.

Did you see my post about the cable tone? I couldnt beam any TC Electronics Tone Prints via my WL-20, although i can with the WL-20L that i replaced it with. I can also do this with a 30ft cable so my thoughts are there is a bit too much attenuation going on with the WL-20. i only used it for one rehearsal and i also felt the tones wasn't as bright as i was used to with my Xvive 2. .

Anyway, Foo fighters are on Sky Arts so I’m watching that now.

Christ oh mighty, really? Are you serious? Do I expect a band on TV to tailor their set for me lol. Ive been very complimentary about them, and ive said i never liked them in the past, so there is no ‘by the sound of it’, and ive posted WHY I don’t like this song. I guess you are one of those that jump in with insults without reading a thread. Now go away and leave me alone.

Nope, cant stand A Forest, where’s the remote? Thats me out. I have bad memories of having to play this in my first band, 15mins + version.

They have a lot of Roland Cubes on stage. Must remeber to point this out in the next ‘how many watts do i need to play the dog and duck?’ Lol . We are probably due one in the next 48 hours.

I think a good mix can really help people enjoy a band. Ive heard terrible mixes of bands I like and have stopped listening, whereas ive heard good mixes of bands i wouldn't give the time of day to (like the Cure) and really enjoyed it.

I felt the same about the Dammed until i saw them last year. Blew me away how heavy they are live. Best mix of the night (supporting the Darkenss and Hollywood Vampires).

Thats a blessing lol. A lot of my mates were in to them first time around, but i didnt get it. Now I’m ready to give them another listen.

Never liked the Cure, cant stand that whiny voice, but surprisingly enjoying this set. Bass player needs a lighter bass though. Poor bloke looks like his back has gone lol.
