No surprises there. The original was very expensive for the time and I'm sure inflation will take its toll. At the moment home practice is taken up with band stuff but if I get a bit of time I might make up a practice board and put a beat buddy on it, with maybe just a tuner and looper.

I had a Beat Buddy Mini. I thought it was excellent but I ended up using it mainly as a metronome and I sold it. I am tempted to buy one of the latest version when it comes out, depending on the price.

I just ordered a new pedal board and a power supply will be coming next week too. So I suppose I'm out too now.

Actually, I was only half joking. Mainly yellow, with another colour in there somewhere, perhaps spots. I really love brightly coloured basses, and some of the colours Ernie Ball comes up with for his instruments are great.

As it's a fiver, you can lose the pick guard and go for a spotty finish. Yellow with pink spots.

Ok, I'll bring a Decision P4 and a Mercalli 5

Or I could bring my Decision P?

Just to confirm, I will be coming. I'll bring a Reverend Triad 4 string and a Reverend Mercalli 5, with a GK & Barefaced rig.

I sold my Elf and have often regretted doing so. I used to use it as a rehearsal amp when I played in a studio with no bass head, just an Orange 4x10. I gigged it a few times through a Barefaced Super Compact, but only when we played a certain pub in Watford that was so small the guitarist used to prop his combo on top of my Super compact and my GK Legacy didn't fit. They get nice and warm when pushed.

Don't look at each other and wince when you mess up a bit. Chances are most or all of the audience weren't aware of your mistake and you just told them.

I'm happy with Nov 9th

I'm keen. Outside of a gig on 4th October, I have no commitments, but Sundays are good.

If the plug in question houses a transformer and isn't easily replaceable, ok, but at £6.99 that is way more expensive than a plug. Just replace the plug with a new plug, which will cost under £2.

Lovely. One day, I'll get a Ric.

I was considering posting something about a new band member of some famous band that I thought was crap, but I couldn't think of any.
