Yeeks! I have an Orange Crush 25 in my bedroom and A TE 1110 combo in my office/workshop 🙂

Looks good, unfortunately my TLRTs have run out for today 😞

Well to be honest, with my drumming skills any toms are a bit superfluous anyway...

The serial number may be held in eeprom while the toneprints are in flash memory. This is a not untypical way of doing it, eeprom tends to stand far fewer rewrites and is slower to access and suits factory loaded data, like serial numbers, but is easier to protect from corruption when uploading new data (e.g. if a toneprint upload gets interrupted). Unfortunately EEPROM is more liable to corruption from power spikes etc., I've had this happen on powering up chips on things I've made. -1 suggests it is reading all ones for the serial number bits so if EEPROM it has been programmed (default is for eeprom to read all zeroes). Alternatively the serial number may be written in a protected area of flash memory, this defaults to every bit at 1 which would suggest the serial has never been written, on reflection this may be more likely.

Back in the day I had three basses and used them all live possibly just for pose value 🙂 When covid allows I need to make sure all my basses get gigged at least once each!

Possibly unrelated, but today a 3.5 jack to phono lead came, so I've just connected up my PC to an old pair of w00x speakers via little 5W per channel one-chip amp I made yonks ago from savenged bits. Enjoying Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 🙂 Sounds better than it did through 5" speakers...

Don't apologise, gave me some fun trying work out what on earth was happening 🙂

Your replies seem to keep adding in your previous ones. I'm worried that they will grow exponentially, reach enormous size and cause Basschat to explode...

I'm not talking Peart/Bonham type setups. 20-30 years ago every drumkit seemed to have two toms mounted on the bass drum, now they typically only have one. Our drummer says 'it's just the way people do it these days', but for the extra space and cost I can't see why? *I have an old Hohner kit with three toms (but I can't play it very well)

In thought the fire extinguisher was a nice touch - works on a few levels 🙂

No, there is NO import duty on <£135 purchases - it's entirely unrelated to VAT. Paying VAT at the point of import is NOT the same as import duty. Just as the excise duty on spirits is not the same as VAT.

Not sure I would have the courage to buy the leggings...

Why has having just two toms become so popular these days? The exact opposite of gear multiplication that applies to other instruments?

Roto toms 🙂

The Galsto version is significantly longer (about 15s) - on the 'official video' the song doesn't start until 20 seconds in.

£1.90 Tell you what Ricky, I'll do your sourcing for 50% of the savings!

A standard plug/socket for pedal connections including signal and power so all you need for a pedal board is to push the pedals down onto the plugs and lock them in place, no visible patch leads required. Lever operated mute at the bridge of most basses. A non-slip adhesive backed pad you can fit to any strap.
