He's replied that to me twice, on different occasions.

Pah! Anybody who says this will be their last iteration of a pedalboard is clearly delusional.

I have a rather nice Aria PE 6-string and also a cheap Hamer Slammer which is darned good. In contrast, there are some quite awful Rickenbacker copies being churned out. I can't list you any high-end ones, though.

The Fender brands and ranges are positioned to certain price points.

There are some very good guitars made in China; unfortunately a lot of cheap inferior ones and counterfeits are churned out from lesser makers.

It's for sale just up the road from the Blarney Stone!

Japan: Matsumoku made many brands, including Aria, Vorg, and many more; they went out of business in the 80's and the factory allegedly burned down . FujiGen Gakki still makes Ibanez and made Fenders. Chushin Gakki made El Maya, Jackson & Charvel. Tokai still have a Japanese operation. Kasuga made guitars. Teisco made budget guitars including Audition, Top Twenty, and other brands in the 60's and were taken over by Kawai. I expect @Bassassin would be able to use his encyclopaedic knowledge to expand on the above! In the US, Rickenbacker make Rickenbackers!

I used to have a fretless with full-length fingerboard and a pickup underneath back in the 70's or 80's; it had a rather pointy flame sort of shape and was called The Hooker. It got lost in a house move.

I had a go on my re-wired board yesterday and my overdrive and octave pedals weren't working when I selected their loops. Doh! I'd connected the Octave pedals loop and the Overdrive one the wrong way round. Fortunately the patch cables reached OK, so I could just swap the respective pairs of jack plus around. 😕

Does "Bass and Guitar Show" mean they'll be doing doublenecks?

I was thinking a Wal with a huge cutout!

Plenty of "I've been told"s in the text there; I wonder if anybody' should "told" him what the real value of that bass is?

Not yet - I might see if they can post and check payment expectations...

Has anybody tried buying a HX Stomp priced at £250 on Facebook? I've seen two, with sellers in Swindon and Milton Keynes; Ive had the conversation and agreed to collect, but then the buyer has gone silent when I've asked for details and a demo. Curiously, both sellers have also been selling DJ kit and their replies have been worded in a not dissimilar manner. My suspicion-o-meter has been noticeably twitching.

Hehe - I've just bought loads of them!

The MicroBass 3 is rather good and has an integral tuner. 🙂

That looks really useful!

Make sure it’s logged with Action Fraud regardless; it is their job to coordinate nationwide.

Thanks for the info! Though I collect projects(!), the last thing I need is another one in the queue. Regarding controlling both via the MC6, I think all I'll need if I do get a Stomp will be a bank up/down selector, which I think can be done with a couple of momentary switches (which I have) and a TRS jack cable.

Thanks. 🙂 I have an MC6, but I had missed/forgot the fact that it needs an add-on too. The DMC is a bit diddy and only has two buttons (which is its whole point, of course); however, it's a multi-button press to do things, whereas the MC6 can have individually assigned buttons to actions. (I wouldn't be looking to have the DMC control multiple items - that would likely be a world of pain!)
