    Hi you beauties Does anyone local to Bath/Bristol areas have an old semi acoustic bass (hofner/guild sort of thing) that I could borrow for a photo shoot please? Can be broken, not working, in state of disrepair, in fact the grubbier the better? Date to be confirmed so no rush. Happy to pay a deposit or rent it. Thanks for any assistance. John

    No idea, but it’d look gert pretty 😊

    I take one for each song. So if the set has 20 songs, I take one bass.

    Thanks @Woodinblack I genuinely thought it was a scam email. Glad you guys are on this stuff. 🙏

    I had a message yesterday in my associated basschat email account telling me I had been locked out of basschat temporarily due to site issues. It asked me to log in again through the link provided in the email. The email had my user name. However, I didn’t follow through with the instructions, but quickly looked on here to find I wasn’t locked out. I never follow links in emails unless it’s actioning a request I’ve made on a site I know and trust. The scum are sniffing around.

    Marvellous. I’ll drop you a message. Cheers , John

    Ooh this would be useful. Is it still available? I’m in Poole once a week.

    Afternoon you lovely people. I am needing to replace a barrel jack in an active bass. Is there specific type one needs for active circuitry? Or is a standard mono one sufficient? Thanks for any advice you can offer. John

    Love mine. Great value this too. Tempted to get this just for the 2nd jack, save me unplugging when I swap mid gig. Let’s see if this gets snapped up. GLWTS (kinda)

    That’s beautiful.

    Absolutely loved this. Found it really inspiring. Thanks for bringing these two guys to my attention.

    £150 or trade for TC or Gnome type head?

    Glad to hear you’re recovering btw! Get your “online” presence out there. Videos of yourself playing, something about yourself, links to any music/videos you’d be happy for others to view (and you have permission to share) then put it all on YouTube, FB, Instagram, etc. with # to genre/location/etc. The drummer I’ve worked with most over the past few years did exactly that. She videoed herself doing some covers, with fairly lights on her kit (that was her only gimmick). The Darkness were forwarded a link of her cover of one of their songs, they liked her playing, and she ended up touring and recording with them, and now is incredibly busy. Self promotion, using social media is now the “postcard in a guitar shop” or ad in melody maker. Best of luck.

    I just thought round wounds ended up as sink drain cleaners when they died.

    I’ve been offered a Gnome, so sale only £150 for a great amp in great condition housed in a brand new rack case. Fab Amp, flexible tonal shaping, 400 watts at 4ohm, built to last and housed in a new 2U rack deep case. Would keep this but the EA cab is so much lighter I’ve decided to go for a lightweight amp too as I only use it at home. My “big rig” needs are met through other means. Solid-state with 400W @ 4 ohms. This is a great amp: quiet, powerful, and very adjustable. 3-way switches for low, mids, and high settings of cut, flat, and boost plus parametric filter settings for mid boost/cut and high cut. An 8-band graphic with switchable bypass offers further tone tweaking. There's a 3-way switch for limiter on, on-with-graphic, and off. Phone jack out. DI out, switchable pre/post. The rear panel gives you a groundlift, tuner out, line out (post master), effects loop, footswitch for graphic on/off. Speaker outs include one XLR and one Speakon. Fan cooling. Full protection. Very adjustable and set flat, it has a strong, smooth, transparent clean sound. Happy to meet up within a reasonable pre arranged distance, or pop over for a try out. No postage at this stage, sorry. cash is also good.

    I tend to look angry or annoyed.

    But…I’ve just bought some popcorn 😢

    Guess this sold @MattW?

    The only concern I have about the WL20 is that reviews state that they’re suited for passive pickups, not active and I swap between active and passive. Do you guys use both/either? Thanks. John

    This is an interesting thread as I’ve been toying with wireless for a series of gigs with a couple of bands over the next 6 months or so. Mostly uk theatres but also Northern Europe. I don’t use pedals and use active Stingray and passive Ps. None of the rest of the band use wireless except IEM for bvs in one band. I’ve heard the argument for spending out for the top range kit, and also some of you have been happy with £50 jobs. I’ll be playing maximum 12 shows and likely to drop out in the new year to concentrate on my duo writing project, which rarely gigs. So not sure I can justify top dollar as I don’t gig like many of you do here. Im wondering about Smooth Hound or Boss? Thoughts?
