We played at the Red Rocks, in Colorado. Our show was on the 5th. Aye, there are sacrifices to be made, living it this wild remote place. It’s all worth it though. Balance is the answer for me, having adventures out in the world and coming back to this wild haven, it affords some nice contrast. Glad that the world is opening up again, for all of us.

Good to see so many folks breaking the crust and getting back into it after ages away. I also had a break of over 18 months without gigs, went straight back to a massive show/ live recording, the biggest of my life really. That was a bit of a shock to the system, after being a cave hermit in the Outer Hebrides for so long. It made me hungry though. Our next show isn’t until December. I might have eaten my hands by then.

Awesome. It’s something I look forward to also. I’ll be seeing them soon after that at Tuska in Finland. I can hardly wait 🔥

Igorrr, in the Netherlands in December, shortly after performing there ourselves. Igorrr 👌🏻 … https://youtu.be/-VmaTdnL0ek

Sure. This is the back of the thing, in all its wenge-tastic glory ...

Nigel is a good guy to deal with. All easy and no messing around 💪🏻

Some trade options on this ... Would trade for a dirt pedal potentially. I’m open minded, so make me an offer. I’m specifically after a block-script MXR Phase 90, or an EBow, so happy to trade for either. -
I definitely think you should buy it, haha.

Haha. A scene? Well ... of sorts. There are only 20,000 folks in the entire archipelago, and with a culture unlike anywhere else in Scotland, let alone the UK, so it’s probably not the kind of ‘scene’ you’re familiar with. Trad and folk are big here, and the Gaelic singing/choir scene particularly so. There are a fair few musicians scattered around the place, some very talented, and a couple of good studios. There are a few local bands and artists who sometimes perform here and there, though usually at pubs in town (Stornoway), and some of them have achieved success on a larger scale. TBH though ... I never perform here. The band I’m in plays much further afield.

SOLD Hotone Bass Press. It can be used as either a Wah, Volume, or Expression pedal. It’s functional, versatile, and with a small footprint, so a lot of options and value for the space it demands. It’s built like a tank all the same. Standard 9v power (or battery), good strong blue LEDs, true bypass ... It sounds good. There’s zero tone-suck in volume pedal mode as it’s active. It has a level control for setting the volume floor. Wah mode is tailored to bass frequencies, good clear thick tone with no loss of low end, and with a pleasing filter sweep to it. There’s a slight volume boost in wah mode. I only used it as an expression pedal with a Pitchfork. Again, nice sweep to that. These are no longer available. I paid £80 for it when they were. Anyway, condition is as new (with Velcro attached), box, and paperwork are all present. Price includes Royal Mail (signed for) postage within the UK. Demo video here ...

These are a clone of the Xotic RC booster, at a whiff of the price. -

@Skybone The SB Special was made from 82-84, then superseded by the RSB line.

Talking of lovely pairs ... The SB900’s last partner was more suited in the aesthetic sense (another ‘81 with walnut finish), but it didn’t stick. I’m a sucker for the passive twin pickups and that control set. Ahhh, I love that set up. I appreciated the SB1000, but wow, it’s not my thing. Horses for courses, n that.

I took some better photos today. The fretless is in standard tuning with light strings, flat neck, and very low action. The black fretted one is the demon, tuned down to drop A, heavy strung and set up for a pounding. 1981 Aria SB-900 (factory fretless) 1984 Aria SB Special-II

Hi there John. I’ve not really been on BC for a while. Did you end up moving to the Neuk?? I’ve had this for about five years, but I bought it here from a guy who goes by the name ‘Bamboo’. I think I recall you saying you were eyeing it up though. So far as weight goes, I can’t weigh it for you unfortunately as I don’t have scales, but it’s significantly heavier than the ‘87 Streamer I had (which is your kind of target weight, right?).
-
Yes, it is ... And you’re correct about the controls. When the preamp is bypassed the pan becomes the sole tone control. Yeahhh, the twin-j pickup is a bit of a Pandora’s box. MEC did something very good there. Mine is one of the rarer early models with the wenge neck and single preamp (those are from the first year of production). Sometime in 1998 they changed to ovankol necks and the twin-preamps. Most Pro M’s are like that.
