Dunno, you tell me, ill also throw in Global insurance when i send it 🙄

Unless im missing something, that has a standard joint/heel, with a curved neck plate. Not the same thing at all.

All this talk makes me want to post something for sale, just to do a bit of Twat baiting 😂

Exactly this, its just a bit (or couple of bits of wood and some metal 😎). If people want to pay a lot more for works of art then thats a different matter, but im guessing this is really just personal preference and not a big deal for most. Every time i play a neck through i feel uncomfortable, like im missing something. Its probably that the neck joint is a familiar point on the neck for me, but its somethings i would rather have than not have. Especially considering the cost differences most of the time.

No, thats what i was saying earlier. This i also why i mentioned going to an amp. Obviously you can go direct to desk, but its not being sold as a box that does. if i was using a rig on stage, id just be using it an FX board, just like I did with my Helix. For this it seems purpose built. Possibly a missed opportunity though.

Agreed, it would be better to have it for the odd occasion, but for most of us is it really a deal breaker?

Well even then, its not really an issue for most people using it (IMO of course). Balanced gives you more protection against noise over long cable runs, but if its an issue you can use a DI box.

Manuals are on their website if any wants to get them. As far as i can see no mention of balanced out, nor connection to PA. Just to amp/rigs. https://www.boss.info/global/products/gx-100/support/

Why would you need balanced if going to an amp?

This is true to a point. I always feel safe and the transactions go smoothly on here. If someone gets in touch with a sensible message ill go and look them up. I like to see a post history so i know who im dealing with. Not so worried about meet ups, but even then i like to know someone is a genuine person. When i say ‘to a point’, i notice a hell of a lot of ‘members’ only join for the classifieds, and while BC does offer a level of protection, sometimes its no different from Gumtree or FB when it comes to pushy buyers.

Why’s that, if you don’t mind me asking.

For clarification, i only read the opeing post, and this is my response to it, I dont know what the background is as to why you cant make the gigs, but it can be very frustrating for others when one member of a band isn’t availed for gigs. Ive turned so many gigs down because my guitarist kept going away or just wasnt available , and it starts to feel like its not worth it. I know its generally accepted here on BC thats its the others guys fault, but id try and understand that if everyone puts the time and effort in to get goods, and get gigs, its not ideal when one person stops them from happening, and quite understandable that the band will go on regardless. If your time/commitment doesn't allow gigs as frequent as the band want, do the right thing and move on.

I get sick of these messages and can get quite rude. My understanding is not that the person is stupid, just that they think they can dictate how and how much I sell my gear for. Treat me like that and you get it back. ’Local collection only’ means i wont post to Italy or Greece, but if you ask, ill string you along and waste your time, just like you are doing mine. Had one guy offer me £450 to post my Yamaha P34 to Greece, when it was advertised at £850 collection in london on here. I accepted his offer, then went silent. Then had about 4-5 messages from him asking about what it was, condition, can i send pics etc. All this was in the ad, with loads of pics. I never did get back to him. Yes, i could have just ignored it, but he could have not bothered either. It was obvious he was a time waster (offered half the price, then ask what it was) so why shouldn’t i be 😂

As long as one person says its happening on TB, then thats enough to start a thread on here about it 😎

Lack of market research as usual. 😎

I was going to post the same. New product announced. Someone posts a link. First reactions are good, ‘want’ etc. Then a few hours later it’s declared a failure as it’s missing something that another pedal has, irrelevant if the person posting needs it or not (and probably will never use it). ‘doesn’t have direct connection to Hubble telescope, what were they thinking ?’ 😁 Big discussion about how it will fail, over priced and out of date. Then someone mentions something in the just released manual, and the mood changes to positive for a while. Then it comes out. People start to buy it, declare its amazing and it will replace such and such…... ……..Item appears in for sale section 😂

Yes, that's how i feel about them. Good for when you need them, but some people like to harvest them and probably never use 90% of them. Considering what they are and what they offer, surely 3-4 would be more than enough, especially if you use EQ.

I’d say those are the ones that are over indulging and not a real issue for most.

Not planning on getting one, but if i did the big killer feature is the ability to use an iPad to control the pedal. This would make life so much easier than how Helix works.

Same reason that so many play basslines wrong, or not as per the original lines.

Well as with on here, the seller can chose to go with collection only or postage. I cant see a scammer ever choosing collection only unless that too is a scam. Ive never brought anything off FB market place, but have sold quite a few things. Always collection only.

Because it doesn’t work like that. You buy on his terms or the scam doesn’t work. He is hardly going to accept pay on collection, or any other real contact.

We just get on with it and don’t procrastinate as much (and i can say that after going over to the ‘dark’ side) 😂

I use this, but its not as fast moving as guitar and bass forums. https://www.keyboardforums.com
