    It appears that the agreement between Basschat and the third party whose name escapes me is in hold pending discussions. A lot of people aren’t happy about having their data passed to 3rd parties and lack of an easy way to opt out. rob

    Power distribution board?

    Welcome from North Yorkshire though we do go to Lancaster lots. Rob

    Or, bear with me here, I have a radical idea, they could have brought this one https://www.epiphone.com/en-GB/Electric-Bass/Newport-Bass/Cherry Then again, I suppose they'd have then painted it badly in bright yellow. After saying all of this, I have an Ibanez Mikro that looks like somebody (not me) used it for a shovel and pick axe on a building site. Even though it looks like crap, it sounds really, really good, I have no idea how, but it's a great growly tone on it. So I thought I'd get somebody to look at the neck, I'll then sort the body out, it stands me at virtually nothing, so will be fun. I can see the sander coming out, it will have to be reliced (is that really a word?) as the thickness of the paint/plastic/covering is very thick, circa 1mm, so can't be easily repainted. With my skills, it'll be on eBay in a few weeks as I rage quite on it Rob

    Looks like a hot air gun got involved at some point as well as a sanding machine. Oh well somebody is going to have to spend less than £220 to put it back to a reasonable state, whatever that would be.

    I can't get my head around having a new £350 bass, deciding to strip it because you didn't like yellow, deciding it was topo much effort after just enough effort to wreck it, but not enough to give somebody else a fighting chance of finishing it and then selling it on eBay for £120. Well it's gone now so either they changed their mind or somebody brought it. Rob

    No longer needed. This is the first gen Apple remote control for Apple TV's. I recall that it also works with Macbooks but could be wrong. Needs a new CR2032 battery. Thanks Rob

    I have circa five pairs of Bose headphone adaptors that are for this type of Bose headphone. There are large and small. My eldest has lost the Bose headphones <sob>, so these are no longer needed. https://www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/support/products/bose_headphones_support/bose_in_ear_headphones_support/ie2_headphones.html They even come in a genuine Bose carry case which is rather nice. Free to anyone who wants them. Rob

    I have two pieces of this laptop memory https://www.kingston.com/unitedkingdom/en/memory/search/discontinuedmodels?partid=KTA-MB667K2/4G Its old, I'm 99% certain it's working and fine but have no laptop to check it on. I suspect that it's 4GB with two slabs in rather than 4GB each, but TBH I simply can't remember. If anybody can use it, ask and I'll put it in the post. Thanks Rob

    Sold my iPhone 7 to Ian, great comms, no issues and very funny outcome. Rob

    @RikiB Suggest you draw simple banana curve around your thumb and let me know the dimensions and the height you want. Something like this below is fine. Also how are you going to attach it to the bass? A screw hole or double sided sticky tape? If it's a hole then whats the diameter of the hole, if it's sticky tape, you might need a little more surface area to stick it on. Rob

    If you can give me a design, back of fag packet will do, I'll print it up for you for free and send it out. The more details the better. Thanks Rob

    Just sold and swapped my iPhone X with him zero issues, great comms, easy to work with and no hassles. What else can I say? 😊

    I have a few UPS's at home for work purposes. I tend to buy them second hand from a reputable firm who fit new batteries into them to replace the knackered ones. I have no conenction with them other than a customer. https://secure.ups-trader.co.uk/ I have a couple of these 1500KW to keep the computers on for long enough for a blip but also one of these smaller ones for the network comms as that comes into a different part of the house to my main office. Something like this would keep a pedalboard going for some time https://secure.ups-trader.co.uk/tower-ups/277-apc-br550gi-tower.html Weighs 6Kg, so not light but not stupidly heavy. £68 isn't bad either, can't work out the power consumption of pedals but they can't be that bad (unless they've got valves in, can they?) I'm about to buy another UPS as the ones I have are five years old and batteries go, thats about par for the course. I do fancy a 5K one and shove it in the cellar but suspect the wiring costs would be too expensive. Bit sad I suppose, lusting after a UPS Rob

    Clearly not trying hard enough....

    Great and easy to work with.

    I'm more than happy to step into his shows for $1M. I'll even supply my own strings. In fact, he can have my job and we'll swap roles, I'm sure he loves looking at contracts, trying to work out the best way to deliver IT projects. I'll train him up in MS Teams (just in case he doesn't know), I'll introduce hime to all the people in the team, he can make a weekly contribution to the coffee and biscuit club, if he wants he can even join the lottery club, where we all split the winnings, Tracy from HR runs that. Compared to, what, stepping out on stage with a couple of setptugarians, this role is far more exciting and has a career path and possibly even a pension. Rob

    There’s a bloke in Cumbria selling one. Suspect I’m just about half way between you both. Happy to facilitate a meeting, I’ll provide decent tea, very decent coffee, a few small amps and some biscuits. you can then admire the space that will be my new bathroom 😀
  20. rwillett
    And that’s just Mick….

    I like the tune as well. I suspect whetever she was selling, I couldn't afford it

    I do OK, I manage to sneak a new guitar in every so often. Thankfully, I'm not good enough as a player to justify a really, really good guitar such as this Gibson. I've a 97 MIJ Jazz, a Fender Mustang MIM (which I think is a great guitar, I kept hearing how Mexican Fenders weren't so good, I picked this up and loved it. I then found out after buying it, it has a quite a lot of neck dive, I'll put a house bring on the strap to level it out ), an Ibenez something or other which is nice and cheap to throw in the car to go to lessons and not worry about it being nicked, and an Ibanez Mikro short scale which I brought on a whim and it turns out has a wonderful growl to it, the neck resembles a banana so thats at a guitar shop to see if they can do anything. Since it cost virtually nothing I don't care. The Mikro looks like its been used as a combined shovel and hammer on a building site, forget relicing, this is authentically beaten and battered, like something that Time Team would dig up. We pass Clitheroe every so often as we live between Settle and Ingleton. I would worry about you being so close and the pull of the guitar but the plumbing has wiped me out for a while All the best Rob

    Suspect she won’t see it quite like that. rob

    Literally just sent £10,398 to the plumbing company 😰 I’ll have to start saving again.

    Just watched the video for the first time. Well........ I might need to go and have a cold shower. Interesting that they have focussed on the rather good looking woman and have snippets of the Stones on the bill boards. Mind you, ZZ Top have been putting beautiful women and cars in their videos for years and it never did them any harm. I like the song, I think it's stripped back, well made, is it as a good as "Sympathy for the Devil" or "Gimmer Shelter"? No, those songs will still be played long after the Stones are gone. Its not bad and if I can play or sing as well as that when I'm their age, it'll be a) a miracle as I can't now and b) I'll be delighted I'm happy enoguh to buy the album and if I get 2-3 good songs on it, thats fine. Its rare to find an album like Let it Bleed or Revolver or Dark Side of the Moon anymore. Rob
