To this day, no one has explained the Hazarai function on EHX delay pedals to me, so I dunno - it's a button, it does something. I've seen lots of arguments about the need for XLR outs, or cheating with an adaptor/cable. Dunno - surely it wouldn't cost much or take too much space.

I agree - exclusivity and branding does mad things to a purchasing brain. I am somewhat of a fan - I bought my first bass after hearing the Hold Your Fire album in 1995, I have Geddy's BBBoB, all of Neil's books, all of the music, some DVDs, some t-shirts (crikey, fanboy alert). So I am sorely tempted. I was tempted by the YYZ but couldn't justify the cost. But this has an extra footswitch and button!! C'mon!!!

£479 less VAT is £399. The difference will be the variables in shipping and import duty and distributor cuts. I suppose the true test of a rip-off is to find a UK-made pedal and compare what we pay here with no import/shipping costs.
-
I dunno - I wonder how much European items cost in the US when you factor in the costs the other way?
-
£116 (no taxes on US list price) less prymax cut, plus shipping plus import duty plus distributor cut plus VAT. (I know I know, we do this every time.)

Next on Open University late night specials - super hard quantum physics.

They're certainly majestic, and nice pieces of assorted bits of kit and wood. I just don't find myself wanting one (even if I had that much spare dosh). Most of us knew a kid at school who was straight-As, and also school champion at something like the 800m, and no one really had much bad to say about apart from them being a bit of a goody two-shoes...

We use Webxpenses at work and it's brilliant - a real time-saver. Integration is more a problem because our ERP is so 20th Century, but we're getting there. I agree though - as a band wanting payment, it ought to be arranged behind the scenes by Greene King so that it's seamless and quick for you. You shouldn't have to be doing the hard work or waiting.

Clicky bit Oooh want. Basically (I think) the YYZ pedal with added Boost and shapeshifter functions. Obvs will cost a fortune.

These are lovely to play. -
Sky Arts and other music related programmes

Hah. Ouch. Always be careful with US cops. Doubly so in Florida. Laws are not for your benefit… -
Easier String bending I think, same as Yngwie’s strats.
-
It's a Bonsai Bass! Love it - and nice sounding too - should be a superior noodling experience to the U-Bass with the daft strings.
-
All these issues smack of poor resources of time, and the lack of funds/willingness to get a professional to tidy it up, or even just sending all new entries to someone to proof-read before posting. I do like the pictures, they do have a lot of lovely stock, and I suppose it is at least organised well by section and type - so I suppose it's considered good enough for them.

I mean that's literally incomparable in your case! I love Bake Off. I love Andy's builds. Both are soothing and fun (it's not me swearing as I hoover up the loose ebony dust in a hazmat suit...)
-
I know, right? It’s Almost as exciting as Bake Off!!!

Let's list all the vintage/used bass shops!
Daz39 replied to ZilchWoolham's topic in General Discussion
ooh - I remember now. I pass a little guitar shop in Lytham St Anne's whenever we've visited (at least 5 times this year). It's on The Crescent, just before the town centre. -
Someone’s clearly taken the P. (badum tish)
-
Ok: my eyes need testing (again!) Perhaps it’s a new amp with horizontal valves
-
Marvellous. Nothing like nonsense, impractical pedals for noodling!
-
*Homer Simpson-style drooling* What’s the monstrosity in Coral at bottom left?
-
Nice. Spotted the cuppa on the head, perfection!
-
Noiiice noises; great playing too!

Songwriters gonna songwrite (and lawyers gonna lawy)
Daz39 replied to tauzero's topic in General Discussion
Exactly - this appears to be timed to try and make some cash from their song(s). Swift's team will wait to see if it's likely to be dismissed - but if the Judge is one of the standard Conservative types (doesn't like Women, Entertainers or having to think inside the current Century), then he team may well settle out of court. Shake It Off is Swift's most successful single - it's probably made her more money alone than a significant proportion of current recording artists have ever made. -
This is from the lazy end of tabloid journalism. And that’s a compliment.
