I once owned a BC Rich (Platinum Series) Warlock that I bought to emulate my then guitarist, and the headstock dive on that thing made me strongly dislike playing it, so I traded it in for a Crafter electro-acoustic that I also realised I very much disliked because I'm not in my heart an acoustic player, not even partially. Of the six basses I have owned (I don't buy and sell much, don't go in for collecting really and I'm a lefty), those were the two not to be given names.

Sounds like they were the ones lacking style - speaking one goth to another. Plus, the Bongo's do look rather fetching in my opinion.

The only effects unit I bought this year, the HX Stomp XL - definitely an evolution on how I do things. Everything is now small and clean looking. No damned patch cables getting in the way, and partnered with the Nu>X C-5RC wireless system really frees up my floor space.

Out: HX Effects VTBassDI In: Nu>X C-5RC wireless system HX Stomp XL Not a terriby expensive year, equipment-wise. I do fancy a set of wireless monitoring headphones though, so I don't know I'm going to last 2025 without a purchase, unless I get the order placed really soon.

Love Under Will - Fields of the Nephilim

Just in today. Decided to go all-in and just have one thing to do everything I need and is compact. A relatively small step from an HX Effects and a VTBASS DI, but an important one to me. Free at last from patch cables and pedalboards, yes!

Oh, I bought a Nu>X C-5RC wireless unit so you can mark me down as out since the 5th August.

Well, I can't speak for every woman but for myself and some of the women I know who are in bands, we wouldn't get a tattoo or a facelift for a band. I do have a fair bit of ink but because I wanted it and not to appease anyone but myself. Like BigRedX, I'm also in the goth scene but I've not felt pressure to present in any way that I didn't want to. Heck, I don't even wear makeup - but, no one's going to accuse me of not being goth enough with some of the tattoos I have. Likewise, I do not wear my years quite as heavily as others seem to do.

I recently jumped into the wireless world, but not wanting to spend big money that I don't have, and not wanting a cumbersome body pack, I eventually opted for the Nu>X C5-RC. I needed something that would most likely work with active basses (it does), and from the reviews I watched and read, the Nu>X systems seemed to be amongst the best at a price point I could afford. So far, it's all been good, but I've not tried the system outside my flat. I did think it wasn't working on my Schecter SLS Evil Twin but no, I'd turned a volume down before I switched over from my Schecter Riot and forgot to put it back up - which explained how the tuner could pick it up but still get no sound.

Fields of the Nephilim do that walk on, play, walk off thing with only a "thank you very much" to acknowledge the audience. It works for them.

Westenra at the 1 in 12 Club in Bradford last weekend. They were great.

Well, "he" is a she and no, she doesn't own other instruments. I traded my keyboard in last year along with most of my pedals for an HX Effects.

I bought a power supply so I wouldn't be using my Fuel Tank Junior to just power one pedal, so I guess I'm now out. Well, as of about a week ago.

Still in.

Aesthetically, the ST:TOS communicators of the guitar FX world.

I don't have straplocks on either my current basses, but for now, as I'm not gigging or rehearsing with others, I'm not getting them installed. Plus, only my secondary bass has a problem staying on the strap.

I was wrong, it's the Liquifier in the Helix she uses, and since that post I've also switched over to an HX unit and do like the Liquifier the most (my settings are somewhat different the aforementioned friend, though). I've been trying it out in front of a very mild delay (the Elephant Man).

I'm in. Tempted to get myself a spare cable just in case, but for now, that's not happening. Let's see how far I go.

Yeah, that seems legit - I wouldn't call it gear either.

Is that place made out of Shreddies? How good are there for acoustic dampening?

They're pretty new, apparently.
