Can you put the bass in and out from  a standing position with that one?

Yes I can - it has a strap which holds the neck and fastens with velcro - it's easy enough to reach in, unstick the strap and pull the bass out.

Edit: It's easier to extract a bass than put one in in the upright position. The case is probably not stiff enough to put the bass in while upright - I always put it in while the case is laid down.

I love my M80 - my Tecamp Puma900 and 2 leads fit in the outside pocket - makes my life easier.

My ebay order hasn't turned up yet. 😕

Spiceknot - could have ruled the world!

Got some arriving tomorrow from Amazon....I bet they're totally different from the old ones

 

And yes they were - they were hard plastic and too tight to fit on the shafts (oooeeer Mrs).....I await the e-bay purchase which apparently are soft touch and due tomorrow...

Have you got a link for those?

Got some arriving tomorrow from Amazon....I bet they're totally different from the old ones but it's only a fiver and from a gift token balance anyway.

I was hoping someone might know the exact knob that Dave Hall used but I've trawled CPC, Farnell, RS, Amazon, Ebay, and haven't found exactly the same knobs.

These look similar?

Does anyone know where I can get replacement knobs to exactly match those on my Dave Hall Amps VTI-EQ-DI-Bass-Mk2 ?

I seem to have lost one somehow.

Pic of pedal - it's the pink one :

Hmmm I wish I had read this yesterday.

I put an order in with Thomann last night, my first for 4 years.

I ordered an Empress Bass Compressor - it was £50 cheaper from Thomann than Anderton's.

Fingers crossed.

I have a EBMM USA Sterling 4HH  and all these other basses with the name Sterling makes folk think my bass is a cheap version of itself.

I bought something from the Netherlands on 10th March which was couriered via DHL.

The online tracking shows that it cleared customs on 15th March and has shown as 'Planning being made' after 'Departure from the international sorting center'  ever since. (today is 5th May)

I managed to get a Paypal refund after starting a dispute for non-delivery.

The vendor was extremely reluctant and only refunded after a nasty trustpilot review.

I wonder if my purchase will ever arrive?

I have a BBE Opto Stomp pedal on my board doing compressor duties...or rather I did until the thing fell apart. - I suppose I could put it back together but tbh I can't be arsed.

I found it very subtle and actually wasn't a great fan of it.

I'm looking to replace it but I'm out of touch with what's available these days.

So could you give me some pointers for an easily controllable compressor that will fit in the space left by the BBE Opto Stomp on my pedal board.

Budget isn't really an issue.

What's out there and how do they sound?

I shall be going to see Klangphonics next week - a German 'acoustic techno' trio......

I think it's likely to be a fun gig.

Here they are playing a vacuum cleaner and an air compressor among other things:

Remember buying the single version of this in 1981, but can't find on youtube (seems it's worth £50+! I'm rich!). So here it is, in all its glory, from the album:

 

I enjoyed the creations of Mr Thirlwell

try this one for size:

I have a 2017 USA EBMM Sterling 4HH

It has the slim neck and smaller body and a 5 way switching of the HH ceramic pickups.

It totally killed my GAS

I know from personal experience that you need to pay for a Swiss road tax licence for your vehicle to drive into Switzerland (if they decide to stop you).

Particularly galling in my case as it was a french hire car and I was only going to Geneva airport which is just over the border. Probably driving in Switzerland for less than 30 minutes, but had to buy a six month tax disc.

 

Untrue -it only applies if you use Swiss motorways.

If you cross the border on a back road you are not required to purchase a vignette.

I have crossed Switzerland several times and never paid for a vignette as I never used any motorways.

We've got a new single out today - we even made a 'socially distanced' video for it - go buy it on itunes and loop it on Spotify, thanks

I notice on another forum I'm a member of, that uses the same software, that the same problem exists.....perhaps it's a buggy software update?

i came here to make the same report - PC. W7Pro, Firefox

In the infinity of the universe perhaps there is one consciousness which is reincarnated again and again to live every living thing's life?
