+1 for Surgical Spirit. I slather it on before playing, it really helps. Or there's this http://doublebassfingertape.com/ I bought some but have yet to use it!

Tinkering with LED strips?
StingRayBoy42 replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I spent a lot of time researching this - I'm the bellend who decided he *had* to have retina-searing, colour-changing LED strips under all his pedalboards. The ones I use are 12V RGB, so easy to power from a decent Pedalboard PSU (reverse polarity for extra fun!) but they need a lot of mA compared to pedals - approx 1.2A per metre. https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/current-draw If you only want one colour, the draw is about a third of that and the PSU will probably handle it but you'll need to do the maths! You can run them at 9V, they just won't be cornea-scorchingly bright, which would be a shame. -
Mike bought some strings from me (or off me, I can never remember which is correct) and he was a pleasure to deal with. Instant payment, great comms, a credit to Basschat. Cheers!

Before I read this thread, I knew his name but nothing else about him. Based on the two videos people have linked, I think he's funny & makes some good points and Mohini (sp?) and her feller are insufferable twunts. I can see his style might turn some people off (See also: Jimmy Carr, Peter Kay, Stewart Lee etc) but I like his shtick. ETA: I'm not going to comment on his dress sense... I've worn many, much worse outfits

LOVE the black hardware! Eyeing up my natural SR5 now...

I think I'm free and up for this! I'd be happy to help out if you need. Personally, I'd LOVE a masterclass on setting up a Bass! EDIT: I don't have any Wals or Alembics or anything... happy to bring my MusicMans/MusicMen and pedalboard if they're of any interest to anyone...

Absolute bombshell. Mani's one of the reasons I started playing Bass.

The Markbass CMD 101 is a lovely little amp. 60 Watts, sounds great, tiny little thing with a big sound, I got mine used for about £175.

I've got half an eye on getting an Aguilar Tonehammer amp (probably twinned with a Barefaced cab), mainly for normal electric Bass but I play upright as well and if I do take the plunge, I could do with getting rid of my current (Markbass) amps. Has anyone used an Aguilar TH with DB? Did it sound any good? I'd be using a Fishamn Platinum Pro EQ before the amp. All and any input gratefully recieved!

I bought Nick's copy of 'Standing in the shadows of Motown' and he was a pleasure to deal with - good comms and quick postage. TOP Basschattist!

I sold Tom a bag, he was a pleasure to deal with all the way.

Are those 2 band EQs? I thought the Sterling only came with 3 band EQ and the pickup selector switch... Shows what I know!

I think you're right... PM'd! (PM'd the seller, not you) -
Gator bag for small keyboards, controllers, multi-FX, pedalboards or just tonnes of 'stuff' for gigs. I think it's the GK2110. Inside dimensions (L x W x H): 57 x 29 x 10 cm Outside dimensions (L x W x H): 59 x 33 x 11 cm According to Thomann It's been my 'Everything I could possibly need and lots of things I will never *ever* need but they're good to have as spares' bag for years, you can cram a mind-boggling amount of things in there. It's done somewhere in the region of eleventy billion gigs, so it's very well used and a bit tatty in places naturally relic'd which adds tonnes of mojo. It's structurally sound, decent padding, no holes, zips work well... years of life left in it. Front pocket for even more (slightly smaller) crap that you won't need but you're going to take anyway because you're a bit OCD. Great for butter, plays like metal, will only increase in value etc etc Would consider trade for a Wal (with cash my way) The picture is upside down, but the bag is the right way up in real life. £17 posted or a tenner collected from Bewdley DY12-

Isn't 'Tokai Hardpuncher' a Dickens character? Gorgeous Bass, GLWTS! -

If only there was a dedicated thread for selling amps! -
Anyone who plays (or prefers) the single version of 'Heroes' by Derek Bowie (or the horrible version of 'I am the Resurrection' that's on the (laughably named) Complete Stone Roses) gets put in the stocks, then beaten, then tarred & feathered, then Hung, drawn & quartered, then their remains are fed to rabid dogs and the dogs' poop gets burnt.

Precisions and Jazzes should be passive. There, I said it.

Tablet stand recommendations please
StingRayBoy42 replied to StingRayBoy42's topic in Accessories and Misc
I'm after a free standing one for reading gigs. -
I've joined the 21st Century and got a tablet (Samsung Galaxy A9+) for my dots. Can you folks reccomend a decent, sturdy, fold-up-able free standing tablet stand? Ta! EDIT: I'm after a free standing one, not a mic stand clip-on.

I bought an amp cover from David (that he got with an amp I sold to him about a month ago... long story!) and he was a pleasure to deal with all the way. Great comms, quick postage, nice item. Many thanks!
