I'll drop into the gallery in camden, but if i remember he was more about basses than effects and accessories 

 

 

If you're going to Camden, there's a branch of GuitarGuitar there. Not very bass-focused, but last time I was there (a few years ago now) they had a fair few fx and stuff.

Large Spiderlite Lightweight Semi Flight Case With Tool Insert Dividers + Pick Foam In Silver

    Material: 4mm Silver Aluminium Type
    Int Dims: w530mm x d340mm x h130mm
    Ext Dims: w555mm x d365mm x h210mm
    Shoulder strap, 3 dividers, removable tool insert in lid

I bought this about 4 months ago, and it is in excellent condition. Please note:
- There is a tiny dent on one edge, and a few small scuff marks here and there - see pictures
- The foam: I still have most of it, though what's left has been cut in various ways - see pictures
- The dividers: In the picture on the website, it shows five dividers: two full-width, one medium length and two smaller ones. I don't seem to have the 2 smallest ones.

Cost of a new one, once UK mainland delivery is added, is £76.79. I am asking £45, posted within UK. Selling because I have changed my gigging setup and it no longer fits.

There are, however, other keyboard layouts that work very well for all musical genres; especially useful when transposing 'on the fly'...

Indeed, the most common versions of which are found on the chromatic button accordion.

Phht. Just a copy of the Fender Bat'leth. Their Custom Shop version has the "combatworn" option with fake bloodstains.

Just bought Matt's Sire U5 bass. Lovely chap and a pleasure to do business with. Deal with confidence.

As an alternative approach - as said you wanted plugs to go under your over ear phones, have you considered over ear headphones that are themselves hearing protectors? I've been using these since joining my latest band and am very happy with them. You don't have to do the wireless/bluetooth thing, they also have a jack socket, though it's just a 3.5mm one. You don't need to power them if you use them wired. I find the level of attenuation is comparable to the industrial style ear-protectors I use for lawn-mowing and using power tools. If you just want to hear the signal that's coming to your phones anyway, they're great.

WIth the possible (and I stress possible) exception of the shakey egg and the triangle, I struggle to think of any musical instrument where paying more for a "premium" model reaps a smaller advantage than is the case for the solid-bodied bass guitar.

Really? I am surprised, as I've been told that everyone in the Wisconsin area speaks very highly of you.

I don't really get this. If OP's band aren't happy with the standard of performance they can achieve using deps, why would they accept bookings for gigs when not all members are available? Is it only OP who is not happy with the performances using deps, or is the drummer pulling out of gigs he had previously agreed to?

If you want to play along, and like harmony and counterpoint, then I'd start with baroque music, as it tends to have strong rhythm, making it easier to keep time with, and the harmonies are generally not too obscure. Can't do better than JS Bach.

This one's a reverse Lemmy - the fairy mayor from Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom, with an uncanny resemblance to the then Mayor of London:

My first gig playing keys & weird noises for space-rock band Litmus:

And now for something completely different....

I play nyckelharpa for a bizarre two-person border morris side called Huginn and Muninn. A week or so back we performed along with several other border morris sides in Clacton-on-Sea, at the premiere of the film Morris Men, having been extras in the film about a year earlier. This was our first outing since one of our dancers sustained a bad calf injury at Box Hill Bedlam's day of dance in Dorking in June. This is our most ridiculous dance, always a crowd-pleaser. I give you "Huginn and Muninn Get Lost in the Stormclouds".

With regard to style, note choices and timing, what I thought was that OMG LOOK AT THE DOGGIE!!!! AWWW HE'S SO CUTE!!!!!!....sorry, what were we talking about?

I love listening to these guys talking about music. They've really opened my ears to a lot of stuff.

Mrs. E and I recently sat and watched the BBC recording of the Stones live at the Fonda in LA, recorded in 2015, where they performed the whole of the Sticky Fingers album. I am by no means a dedicated Stones fanboy, although I've always really liked some of their music, but I thought it was a fabulous performance  - not fabulous "considering their age", but just plain excellent by any standard.
