  1. Because they are so popular, not many get sold s/h.
  2. What Is And What Should Never Be.
  3. Thanks, Experience now ymtells me ws-80 have 2 yellow leds that go out when charged. Consistent with the 50 and 90. Worked faultlessly today, I took a short excursion too.
  4. Saturday, Played 9-10 at the Hanbury Arms with Bluesfire. One of two pub venues in an 11 day arts festival. We had over 100 people which is good for what is basically a beer gardens and marquee. Plenty more people out of sight down the slope between us and the pub. Very responsive music-loving audience. One woman told Al that when she was down the slope she thought there were give or six of us, not three. A lapsed guitarist budy telling everyone the gig was 'exceptional' which was nice. Al ignored the setlist and just called what he thought people would like. Best one for a while. Got back to the club in time to catch the bands last four songs. Today, Bendricks Rock at the Llandovery Bike Weekend for Blood Bikes Wales. The event is 10-4 and wew were on at 11:30. Left at 8:00 to pick up vocalist! Better attendance than I expected, nice but simple setup with vocal PA and plenty of space. And a proper if brief soundcheck- the only feedback was for me to turn up. Don't mind if I do. Purple, Zeppelin, Cream and Sabbath all went down well, our setlist was not long enough so we added two extras and then an encore - What Is and What Should Never Be. Tricky and with the potential to be a car crash, but we nailed it. Our endings were a big sloppy, but our best playing so far and a great reception. Watched a couple of the other acts. Drive back was extended by 30 minutes due to a "diversion" and a crash blocking the a470. Got back and somehow found the energy to catch a train to the far side of town and catch my brother's band Stonehouse closing out Cadstock to a couple of thousand people.
  5. Becoming more common down here.
  6. I hate to tell you, but that means you're not plugged in and the guitarist is using an octaver...
  7. Ok.... I've lost the manual and I'm not sure if they are fully charged. I don't want to leave them connected to a charger for hours if they are topped up. I cant find a manual online. Can anyone remind me what colours the leds are to show charging/fully charged, please?
  8. We've got the Llandovery Bike Weekend on Sunday. £30... to split! But the event supports Blood Bikes Wales.
  9. Not my bass, but this lovely ~1961 P-bass is possibly the prettiest I've ever come across. Paul has had it, if not from new, at least since the 70s. Lovely patina and natural wear, the scratchplate is gently rippled without splits. Paul uses a really thumping warm tone with a bit of natural overdrive through a Markbass combo. Last night he was out with Junior Hacksaw, but he also plays with the legendary Snatch it Back. My partner says most men would be in trouble if they looked at a woman like I was looking at this bass...
  10. I will try that when I get back to my pc. Peesumably related, my bank requires me to authenticate with their app every time I log in although they claim you only have to do it once per device. They said it was a firefox thing... iirc
  11. I don't have enhanced tracking protection enabled.
  12. Yes. Including Authenticator.
  13. DAMNATION! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I closed firefox on my PC. When I opened it again, I'm still logged into all my websites - except I have to log in and verify for Basschat. Please, someone tell me that I'm not the only person with this issue? My settings are completely vanilla except for Adblock.
  14. Test on phone.
  15. I've had a whole series of unexpected issues... I disabled it, then re-enabled it using my PC instead of my phone, and it seems to work, except when first returned to my PC it asked me to set up authenticator again... but my phone said this would delete the old version. A refresh solved this. One glitch, Autheticator calls the account 'GMAIL' by default, can the setup be altered to call it BASSCHAT automatically as this will lead to confusion if people don't change the name and a few months down the line don't know that using 'GMAIL' in Authenticator to get back in.
  16. It's possibly a firefox issue. I don't clear settings on exit.
  17. I prefer fingerprint as more reliable. It still requires manual entry of the pin from authenticator.
  18. Ah. The killer. I've just discovered that. I access BC on both my PC and phone and logging in on one niw logs me out on the other. I now have the choice of disabling it or visiting BC a lot less often.
  19. <sheepish> found three passwords in firefox two with different capitalisation of my email and one for user name. Looks like it was autofilling the wrong one.
  20. Hmm. Autofilled password from firefox wouldn't work but cut and pasted did. Good grief, hard to do on a smartphone, I gad to set up a complex system of mirrors and lenses to scan the qr code. OK I did it manually but every time you switch windows I have to unlock authenticator again. These things are the bane of my life, why can't a website be set up to ask a programme for my thumbprint and if OK let me get on with life. Using my business bank account on my phone today I had to 'unlock' six times to make two payments and confirm I really wanted to do what I was doing about 18 times. Actually it may have been more than that... <fades into the distance grumbling louder than @Frank Blank's borborygmus...>
  21. I'm sure I am using the right password, but I will have a go.
  22. This, seriously.
  23. This is a ridiculously low price for what are the nearest thing to owning an early 60s P you can get short of the real thing.
