I tried one on my bass and it didn’t work either .

Was is a regular guitar one ? I’m not sure they work with bass

I wanted to buy a hands free mike , earpiece thingy . The music store owner kindly put my off the idea and recommended just getting use to using a normal sm58 type mike and get a decent stand . I’m glad he did .

Boss do a synth bass pedal that a guitarist friend of mine bought but couldn’t get any use out of. He lend it to me...for tye life of me I couldn’t get a discernible note out if it . Boss usually do pretty good pedals but this thing was garbage 🗑

I hate these things when they get old and won’t pop out , come to think of it, who thought these were a great idea that HAD to be invented. My other bass had the plain button , guess what, that bass never fell off me. It’s just one thing I think is a superfluous gimmick . But there are many more . What’s your item you were suckered into buying and realized you had no need/use for .

I asked one of my Polish colleagues in work to translate the page for me 😂

I think they’re shipped directly from Poland to your house but if you go on their website they may have a list of Uk distributors . The amps are quite reasonably priced ...for what they are

Pondering on whether I should move mine on also. I have too many amps and none of them light weight unfortunately. I very hesitant on selling off one of the last British Made Traces. I opened it once and had a look inside. Im no electronics expert but everything in there looks 'heavy gauge' , like it was build with heavy use (and abuse) in mind. Every time I used in rehearsal or gigs it always seemed to impress. It just seems to move a lot of air! .

That's crazy...bet it sounds awesome 😥

To be fair basschat is a bit of a sausage fest 🙄

No Minefield really. This is all just my opinion but a 500W solid state head is really max you need, probably lower wattage for Valve heads. As long as your cab is rated to about 1.5 times the power of your amp or more and the impedance is matched you should be flying. I know people crib about the weight of them but I prefer a good bit of weight in a head, hence I tend to prefer ones with AB MOSFET over Class D. I just think they're less prone to problems from vibrations etc. Oh and if you get one with a valve preamp, these are nice. My personal favourite is Ashdown hybrid into Barefaced.

I don't feel too bad about it. I think the important thing is to have what you need to get the sound you're after, plus I cleared out some stuff I wasn't using...which was nice. To go off the point a little, I still think buying spanking new items on a whim is really a waste of money and resources and I wont be doing it anymore. You'd want to be mad to go out buying, say, a brand new Fender bass or SVT for example when they appear almost everyday for sale on this site and others, unused and at worst case in need of light servicing (which is part of the fun IMO). And you know....Mother earth is heating and all that stuff.

After all my pontificating, I’m out . Bought a reverb pedal last night but in my defense it was something I was looking for for a while and it’s a used item. I definitely think I’ll only buy used items from now on as far as possible. Thanks to this site and countless buy and sell Facebook pages I’ve come to realize the world is awash with impulse purchases. So I might be out of this group but at least I’m putting an unused item to good use .

UJust sold 2 pedals and a Roland keyboard stand . Thinking shout selling off a bass or 2 that have been sitting idle . This is it for me . Minimalism . Feels liberating however I will probably buy some sort of reverb pedal in the near future 🤷‍♂️

I’m actually thinking of unloading some gear this year . I’ve pedals that haven’t seen the light of day in years.

They’re actually crazy heavy . I mean ridiculously heavy . If they were being used in a building site the HSA would insist you use a hoist to move it...I’m not exaggerating

Maybe a bag of sugar or 2 less...still a hernia generator
