I quite like it. I don't like Crue but I like this.

Agreed, they appear to be quite dreadful people with very little talent.

This is actually pretty good, and clearly an up yours response to how he was treated.

Apologies for the delay, my pedal board is in my mates studio and he's not been available. 

I'll update ASAP

No idea, but @Ashdown Engineering are usually pretty helpful 👍

I came close to giving up some years ago. Instead I started collecting unusual bass guitars, although I've now reduced the collection somewhat.

I kept my hand in, played with a folk outfit for a bit but quit that when other members demonstrated their lack of regard for the time I was committing to the project. Then I got contacted by a lifelong friend and former bandmate asking if I'd be interested in getting involved in a musical project with him and a very talented songwriter. I seized the opportunity, and now at the age of 51 am playing the best I ever have - creating music I am immensely proud of (including singing! ) with two great mates. We have a good laugh, we perform professionally and I am so glad I didn't jack it in.

Hmm... Not many opera lovers, that's certain. (Other unloved genres are available ...)

I was at the opera on Saturday

I've never had any extra charges buying from Thomann. 

My last purchase was only £244, but that is all I paid.

Edit - this was May '22

Thanks Lawrie - I'll measure my current board and get back to you later in the week 👍

Can I ask the internal dimensions please?

MXR Poly Blue Octave does that and much more.

That one is staying!   It's all those long ones that are off.  I can see you with a Thunderbird Classic Pro in white, though....

Is that the one with a 2-piece bridge setup? 🥰

That’s beautiful.

Agreed 🙂 

Another BG250-115 user here. I have various options but this is the one I use most. Good price too 👍 

Great price for this 👍

Performed for the first time with our new backing tracks to a fairly captive audience of mostly stallholders in a market!

Very well received, it was great to look around and see them nearly all having a little boogie almost without realising they were doing it. The sound was great, we were setup super quick and off the stage so quickly afterwards we caught the crew napping.

I've got one this weekend with Aimless Arrows. Weavers Market in Trowbridge at 1415, with quite an interesting line up of bands starting around 1130.

We are debuting our new live sound, it's going to be exciting! 

Edit - we have been moved to a new venue. Emannuels Yard so as to avoid a clash with the bellringers! Same time, and same great line up.

So what is it??  And is it more practical for carrying basses than a 2006 Jag XK?

It's a far from standard 3-series compact. 

Yes, a lot more! And also more practical than my 1-series coupe.. 

I've just remembered from looking at the pics - @Kateplaysbass's ACG was quite simply sublime! Definitely a highlight for me.

Agreed, had a fantastic bash, but sadly only just got in as the car decided its engine wasn't good enough on the way back so had to wait for a guy in a truck to come out, clear some electronics and fondle some tubes before we were off again.

Even with over 2 hours in tauntons poorer industrial estates it was worth it!

How annoying!

Agreed, what a super duper day, helped in no small measure by the wonderful weather, but chiefly by the forest of amazing kit and the company of smashing people. I love this place.

Huge thanks to Mike for the organising and to the wonderful ladies for an awesome spread as per. The crumble. Oh god, the crumble.

@BreadBin, your car is not supposed to sound that good 😍😍

It's naughty, isn't it? I must admit it makes me giggle like a child sometimes 🤣

What an extraordinary day out that was.

Thank you to Mike and the Scrumpettes. You continue to build on the success of previous years. Wonderful. Enjoyed meeting you all so much, and missed those who couldn't be with us.

I confirmed my reputation as a soft touch where buying basses is concerned - as @Kateplaysbass put it - "don't ever play poker Stew". It was apparently obvious to others that I was going to cave in long before I had admitted it to myself.

A very good day out as usual. Schoolgirl error though @Kateplaysbass - @stewblack should be encouraged to play poker by the sounds of it!

Great to catch up with old friends and to make some new ones too 👍

Please have an epic bash, but not so good I weep when I see the reports...

Have fun everyone!
