Not tried it - but don't see why a TM2 and 4 unlatching pedals wouldn't do it. (would give you 4 sounds per patch)

Smoove. Excellent moves Mr Bilbo.

I think this is a little lost in translation. I get annoyed that the "gluten free" packaging is generally used to attract the gym bunnies as opposed to being marketed towards those with allergies or intolerance. You can spot the people who are the ones with allergies as they are the ones going through the ingredients with a fine tooth comb. Gluten is not a bad thing - only to those with an intolerance. But the whole "gluten free" marketing campaigns are generally there to make gluten look like something that is unhealthy and extremely bad for you.

Defo - how can we forget the social media push of the horror that trisodium phosphate is in Lucky Charms? Gosh, what a terrible sounding name that additive has... found in paint thinners don't you know? Yeah - I clocked the E numbers. My mother used to look at the ingredients and basically used the number of E numbers as an indicator of how bad the product was. I guess that way of thinking stuck - and hence was replaced with that traffic light system on the packaging as it appears less "chemically" sounding. Here's another one... where do get our protein from if we don't eat meat.......? Answer is, meat is bad for you, you can't get protein from veg (look at all those cows that are struggling for protein) - so meanwhile, buy our powdered protein powder supplement crap that makes your breath absolutely stink.

A park bench indeed. Only done that once. In Edinburgh. Not an experience that I would ever want to repeat. Yeah - the current marketing trend of "gluten free" is really annoying... because it downplays the seriousness of coeliac disease. I see it as pretty disrespectful to the community that are suffering. Here's the thing - if a product is on sale in China, it's been tested on animals. I'm not sure whether your statement is true - I think the vegan movement and animal welfare issue has been the strongest that it's ever been. There's certainly more focus on cruelty free and the diminishing sales in the meat and dairy industries is certainly not insignificant. With regard to the your inorganic sulphites comment - I suspect there's far worse. People will introduce all sort of crap into the foodchain if they stand to make a quick buck from it.

It's actually quite a serious thing - although not because of being coeliac (not that people go around deliberately ingesting shampoo), more because of the wheat intolerance and the problems it can cause to the skin of sufferers. Thing is nowadays, the "gluten" thing is seen more of a trendy fad than a serious issue for people that are coeliac - and not given the attention that it deserves. My other half is coeliac - and whilst every restaurant should be acutely aware of dealing with allergens, there are still people that don't - it doesn't help that she'll often pop out to places straight after the gym dressed in gym clothes where people will assume the gluten free requirement is because of some gym fad diet. But yeah - I'm in agreement with you - there's a lot of BS being peddled in the marketing departments... at least you know where you are with a full fat sugar diet, fags and special brew!

Nothing surprises me. In that case, it becomes a 50/50 so the driver's word against yours. Horrible times. It seems to be a daily basis that I witness the pure horrible nature of people not caring any more... or at least being some power happy chump.

I would wager that the case has been assembled with an adhesive that contains toluene. (Probably the adhesive that couples the lining to the case at a guess). https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=159&tid=29 Although the levels of the substance present are unlikely to cause any issues, the statement is true and hence has to be included by Californian law.

Ha yeah! Although compressed gas cylinders are usually on the courier prohibited items list - or insist that they are empty. How they could ensure that I don't know. Anyway...

It does your head in doesn't it? I hate to say it, but I've been one of those people where they left my package "in the grey bin on the drive" - the very one that was being picked up by the dustbin men. *facepalm* It was some diving equipment - and to be fair to the shop, they sent me out replacements straight away and told me to "let us deal with the d1ckheads".

Conan - good to see that you're getting in to the tit for tat point scoring as opposed to focusing on the op question.

Seems fair enough.

Not while there's TV to watch and kebabs to eat.

Stu Clayton's book is a good starting point.

Possibly - if the situation was not resolved suitably.

By the time you've spent 10 minutes getting assaulting by the sound in the main room, you're going to wish that you never had the urge to play bass....

Wrong

So it is a myth?

I don't think there is negativity, just statements on what has been witnessed... which are then taken as negative... usually by people that have bought. There's negative comments made all sorts of brands on here (Ashdown most recent)... but people seem to exhibit big amounts of butt hurt when it comes to comments being made about Barefaced. I dunno. Go figure.

True

Either that or sharpen the strings.

It's not a myth! You only have to look at pretty much every BF for sale on Facebook to see the evidence.

Handle.

It wouldn't be a bass show if he isn't.

Who'd want to carry a bass around with them across London unless they absolutely had to? Not for me ta!
