Having just read the topic [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=60242"]"Can the idiot who's posting porn links be blocked?"[/url] I was wondering if you're aware of [url="http://botscout.com"]BotScout[/url]? I implemented it on a couple of my SMF forums a while ago and it's been very successful in reducing the incidence of unwanted bots — just thought I'd ask ...

Is that the EQ700 7-band pedal? If so, I have one of these that I bought for use in the effects loop of a Vox AD60VTX modelling guitar amp, to beef up the dynamics, which worked quite well ... I just tried it in the effects loop of my Markbass LMII and it works fine, down to low B, on all bands — did you try yours in an amp's effects loop or inline with the input? Or with a guitar amp? (I should add I've used mine similarly with two or three different all-valve guitar amps and it worked well, considering it's a budget pedal). Which were the two frequency bands you found to work? Just trying to ascertain whether yours really is duff, or not?

I bought [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54745"]Nathan's Ashdown ABM Mini 48[/url] extension cab, which was as advertised in really good condition. We had excellent communications beforehand and he was very amenable, taking a long lunch-break to allow time for a test and chat — makes a decent cuppa too! I have no hesitation in recommending him to others ...

Having read all the postings here in support of Peter it's virtually impossible to find any superlatives that haven't already been used! Based upon our communications yesterday and meeting today, I can only agree with all my fellow 'victims' in that it's been an excellent transaction and I'm very pleased to have met him in person! What's even better is that he delivered it to me at Rothersthorpe Services (M1, J15A) on his way down to Essex — fantastic! I bought his Markbass LMII, Korg DTR-2000 and DBX 166XL in a 4U Boschma rack (all in top-notch condition) and couldn't wait to get them hooked up once I got home — I thought I was being a typical RTFM-retard when I couldn't get any sound out of it, so checked again all the connections before thinking that there was perhaps something wrong with the LMII !! Fortunately I'm good at trouble-shooting and it didn't take me long to discover that this LMII doesn't like Speakon clones — it works perfectly (and repeatedly) when connected using pukka Neutrik Speakon connectors — I thought it worth mentioning here ... Many thanks, Peter!

With the way I seem to collect musical paraphernalia, I didn't think it would take me long to buy something from a fellow forumite — 9 days in fact, (not that I'm claiming it as a record)! I have fairly old-fashioned values and a perfect feedback score on eBay (~400), so fully intend to be honourable here! Just hope I can keep the GAS under control ...
