Found it... Soz Muffuletta

Hello! Screen grab image, not the best quality Anyone recognise this pedal please? Would like to find out about it Jon

I've bought more and more gear in my search for "that sound" Every time I think i'm sorted, I then see something else and GAS creeps back in. I even decided to go rack mount a while ago and have never used it out of the house..... I can't bear to sell any of it either. Don't get me wrong, its mostly all "middle of the road" or secondhand kit, but i've got it squirrelled away all over the place. And don't get me started on the cabs that i've built! There's at least 10 cabs in the loft at the mo with more in the spare bedroom, garage and shed. I have issues that's for sure..... 😂 I'm even hovering over a "buy now" button today for a pre amp I really don't need..... but it'll scratch an itch for a while... Does Bassplayers With Excessive Kit Issues Anonymous exist?

Bought a Mesa D800 amp from Ander Good communication and punctual Buy with confidence!

As much as I love my new squier bass, I certainly have gotten more of a wow factor from my harley benton purchases. Mrs Glambass didn't believe me when i told her how much my latest one cost. I had to show her. I guess she knows my techniques after 14 years.... 😉 I've got a fair few now and they never cease to amaze me how they can produce a bass to such a good standard and still make a profit. Maybe i've just been lucky, but all of my purchases have been cosmetically great. One required a little action tweak, but i'm not complaining at that. I bought a JB-75MN a while back and for £148 it really is quite a piece of kit! Its done a shedload of gigs and if it gets dinged, used as a baseball bat or run over by the tour bus i'm not going to cry too much. I'm no label snob - i'm quite happy to gig with a HB.

maybe it'll re-appear at £359???? 😁

I fell foul of this post too and found myself ordering a red precision for £259 delivered whilst mildly drunk on holiday (I had toothache, so I thought a purchase would ease the pain - it didn't) It arrived on 22/9/23 It did it's first gig the following day It did it's second gig the day after (A Sunday night gig for a load of tattooists in Magical Great Yarmouth - most unusual. We weren't really needed, but hey ho) For the money it's a really lovely piece of kit. Setup was fine, finish was great. It also got the mrs Glambass seal of approval which is always a brucey bonus ("ooo that's pretty!")

I would've been "treated" to "No Jacket Required" at great volume and at great speed during any journey in Father's Escort XR3i Miss you dad x

I built a 75L shelf ported cab for one of my SM212's (i'm a bit of a fan) as a mini sub for PA duties Now that's a beast! Maybe I should try that under a BC112T I can't believe Beyma discontinued the good old SM212. Such a great piece of kit. 😌

I'd be like a pig in the brown stuff playing that set Hope you find someone who fits the bill 👍

I've had a photo cull recently Phil and haven't really got any decent images of the 12's left (shame on me) I can take a pic or two of them and post them on here, but they're not really very exciting visually 😁 They won't be coming out for a gig for a few weeks now as all my dates are either tiny, have sound limiters (joy of joys) or resemble god's waiting room (ssshhhhhh!) I'm still enjoying the 8" fane cab I built (its now my "go to" house practice cab) I must get round to building another. Tiny stack! I've got a couple of cabs in the garage to finish off (any chance of those fearful 12 cube crossovers parts @stevie 😉) and then I may have a go at an SM212 in a smaller enclosure. I have 2 x 50L rear ported cabs and the bass on tap is insane in smaller venues. Great outdoors though!

I'm definitely being swayed 😁 I will do a test with my Varta rechargables Even if I have to swap one every gig it's no bother The Energizer Alkaline that's currently in there just measured at 7.37V !!! (Best before Dec 2022 - oops) I'm surprised it's not given up yet! Thanks for your input on this Jon

I fitted the battery so only the negative terminal was touching the contact in the housing. I then set up my multimeter and touched the leads in series between the positive terminal of the battery and the positive terminal in the housing I read 6mA using this method. Seems about right to me (what do i know 😁) The reading dropped to zero when the 1/4" jack lead was removed from the bass Maybe I was just unlucky with 2 batteries, but i'm not the first to experience this from a few google searches Odd....

Interesting - thank you all The only reason I asked was because my bass ate 2 "normal" batteries very quickly. I didn't leave it plugged in.... I will do some experimentation Cheers!
