The listing says he doesn't have a box to post it in. I guess that means he doesn't have a car to go fetch a box or take it to the post office.

Not a chance.

Ain't nothing to be done about the current situation unless you mean undo Brexit. EU merchants have to jump through HM Customs hoops. No big deal. The only difference is the effort to do that. UK customers pay them the same price as the EU customers with none of their sales tax. Customer pays for shipping and UK sales tax at the border. What would you suggest is out of kilter that could be tweaked to make it more favourable to sell out of EU to UK?

What do you mean? There's nothing unfavourable to EU merchants about the status quo except having to deal across tax regimes with documentation.

He means don't over drive the cabinets as in don't blow them up. Easier said than done at war volume with 2 cabs and 600 w on tap. Volume is a result of applying power to cabs. Whether it's gain applied at the input or the output doesn't matter a whole lot. Volume is volume. The bit that can really screw with you is purposely distorted tones. At high volume it's very hard to distinguish between sounds of bass glory and the sounds of your speakers being tortured. As you are playing a solid state amp it's quite easy to explore the limits with a clean tone to find where the cab starts to cry. If you are using a pedal to get boss tonez make sure it doesn't push too much extra volume. You are going to need earplugs or you will go deaf.

I wonder if your fuzz is also partly responsible for dropping the balls out.

What you are calling rolling is plucking with less aggression than what you are calling plucking.

Seriously every bassist? Hell no, surely not serious.

''The one you're using right now''. Must not be too loud. Must not obliterate the bass guitar.

I wonder how many upright players in all of history took a pick to it.

Surgical spirit sounds similar to Meths which used to be the goto for blisters.

According to the Trace Elliot manual a single compressor can't cover bass guitar. Hence the dual band High/Low compression on the SMX. Otherwise they are 'one knob' compressors ie fixed ratios, but they work as advertised.

That's not cricket.

Depends on your definition of vintage. A lot of today's musicians weren't even born when Trace Elliot hit the news. Vintage enough for you?

I see the @stewblack WTB for P&C is now ''sorted''. Do tell!

No such item as 'Government Charges'! It's either a fee or a tax or duty. I would be kicking up over that until I found out exactly what the 24.99 was and who got it.

Yeah, the boom is in the room. The HPF will help. The other thing to do is tilt the cab back so you get a face full of tone.

There's no properly accepted definition of preamp any more. There are a lot of 9V pedals that people call preamps that are light in the boost department. Some will have conniptions if you put them in an fx loop when they are designed for instrument level going in the front of an amp. The boost you get might be enough that you need the Active pad on your amp front.

I am a wannabe drummer hiding in a bassist. I got put off the drums having a total fail of a 5 minute lesson from a kid who is now one of the premier percussionists in the country. This was before I was introduced to bass. Still the dark side calls to me.

Paul Crowther would be happy to build you one.

I don't know what the Prunes & Custard recipe is but a very listenable discombobulation is the result.

In the top right corner of every quote there's a faint arrow that takes you to the original post.

Follow the arrows back from where you quoted me. They slip in export after all the return phaff. Exporting and returning is the same revenue process.
