Short term right to reject is on the basis that that the fault is assumed present at the time of purchase. But the item still needs to be faulty. So its not entirely unreasonable for the supplier to request evidence that its faulty in the first place. Video seems a logical option. I've zero issues with that. If they then use that to try get out accepting the return then that's a different matter.

I'm a big fan of the zoom stuff. Always liked their bass multiFX. my first ever pedal was a zoom, as per the photo below. Pretty much the only bit of kit I've never sold. Definitely shows its age so it's retired. Owned multiple Zoom pedals but still own and use occasionally an ms60b! I've done that thing where it now has all the MS range effects on it, not just the bass ones, so it's now a make shift bass and guitar rig! I did a direct to PA gig last month using the ms60b and it sounded brilliant. Zero issues using this in the future.

i really want to get through this but holy moly, the host and others are absolutely murder!

I love mine. Can't comment on how it compares though but there's nothing poor about the yamaha!

Not exactly fender style but any ACG 32" would be tremendous. The one i had was by quite a distance the best made, best sounding, and easiest to play bass I've ever owned. If i ever get to a stage where my fingers need a shorter scale bass I will almost certainly go back to an ACG I've also got a Bacchus WL433 which is a 33" scale - that's lovely to play and still 'looks' full size. I could let that go actually, if you're in the market although my mate has borrowed it for about 2 years so I've no idea what state its in these days

Cheers troops. I will also day that I had a fee glasses of red in me when I edited those photos... and I've clearly went a bit OTT on raising the blacks.. its not as washed out in real life as those photos suggest haha

Yes. My original plan was to change the guard too, but it buffed up nicely. I like black on black but i could go anything really since its a blank canvas. You thinkin a 3 ply black? It plays lovely so id assume its a photo angle thang!

although I will say the original photos make it look much better than it did in real life.

To be fair I'm torn too.

I bought this bass off this very forum about 5 years ago. Got it because it's a YOB bass, it was cheap, and it looked like it had a bit of mojo and had the idea of a project. When I got it, it played well, but the "Wear" was more like the wear you get from throwing it down the stairs rather than through 40 years of hardcore sex, drugs and rock n roll. And, for some reason, I got it in my head that all the bits were very specifically to this bass so it would involve more than a bit of DIY to get aftermarket parts fitted. Turns out i was wrong. I've used it a few times, but has mainly sat in a case. I'm doing a gig with an indy type band next month so felt a more edgier bass might look more the part so got this out. Still not happy with the look, I decided to give it a wee spruce up. Hopefully the original owner doesnt mind me nicking his photo's as unbeleivlably in 5 years of ownership i never photographed it. Things I did: sanded the body - took literally 40 minutes - the finish was extremely thin and I'm convinced not original resprayed with £6 furniture stain from The Range Lacquered with furniture lacquer from the Range - sanded then repeated. put on new pickup covers as the old ones were cracked cleaned the pick guard with car black cleaner. before it was old matt and faded, now it is jet black and almost shiny brasso'd the bridge resoldered a joint in the electrics as it disconnected during the taking apart put on new brass knobs Things I learnt: if the new pickup covers are tight, don't force them as it's now impossible to get the pickups out the covers - it's not longer a reversible mod the stain colour was far darker than i was expecting. I was aiming for a more red-ish stain, this is almost black. brasso is incredible What I will say is it plays superbly. It balances great, and the action can get quite low so its a breeze to play.However, for me its a bit too mid range growly; almost too characterful. So, I might look at changing the pups at some point. The finish is not pro level but i do like that you can see the grain. I wonder though if i really should've just left it!

I probably will be hounded out the thread for this but I find naming basses a wee bit tragic! At a push, I'm OK with funny names, but anything even slightly serious, it's a bit weird in my view!

I actually know the exact answer to your question, but I'm not going to tell you.

I'd also suggest the guy was on retainer for this exact situation. Seen Vince on Instagram multiple videos and absolutely asore his playing... however was always a bit dubious over how much editing was done. I'm very happy that he can do it live too.

I play in a movie themed covers band and the one song I'd love to play but it just doesn't work is the karate kid theme, you're the best around. Massive theme tune which fits the profile, it just doesn't work .

Hopefully I can hijack/resurrect this thread and ask, what's a good option out there under £250? I'd prefer a 12" and wil only be used for monitoring, but I fancy one. I've tried the headrush 12" which would be ideal but if something out there for a good wedge cheaper can do the same job id be keen to hear.

I've got the l12 and it's wonderful. Us it doubles up as a proper mixer and an in ear setup for live use.

I might be daft, but I can't imagine this having enough of an impact on the sound that id swap an interface for.

If you're fine with a mono backing track then you can literally use your phone. Backing tracks fully panned left, click track fully right on a single wav file. Send your drummer the click track to his ears and right to foh, via a splitter cable. No need for fancy gear or even a laptop

If we're talking in ear setup then 100%. Yamaha pb734 into an hx stomp. Then into my ears through some kz iems. Ampwise I have an old school TE which is great for the occasional gig that requires a big amp. In an ideal world I'd own a wee 1x10 or 1x12 combo too, just for those gigs that iems aren't available but I'd need a monitor... but really can't justify that given that type of gig doesn't crop up often for me! But my main setup, can't see that changing anytime!

My early learning was a billion sheehan vhs so I taught myself a rigid 3 finger technique. This has very much evolved but anything constant semi quaver is still 3 fingers. Broken rhythm stuff is a mix. When I play 2 finger though its often 1 and 3.. finger 2 is least used

Get the funk out - extreme Faith - bon Jovi I'm sure there's more
