Another vote for AER here - loud, punchy and a tone and fundamental that is a cut above anything else I have tried. I use an amp two. Lush!

I'm happy to start a feedback thread for Mark who I met up with this evening. I was seriously tempted by the Markbass CMD121P he had up for sale so following the exchange of a few messages, I collected the amp from his home. I found him to be polite and courteous throughout and a very friendly guy. If it wasn't for social distancing we would probably chatted for hours. Nice to meet you today Mark and the amp is awesome. I would deal with Mark anytime without hesitation.

What a huge difference the tort makes to the overall look of this bass. Looks superb and HW Audio is a great music store.

I tend to wear Converse All Stars when I’m playing the bass....oh wait....!

This is a great resource Russ.

This also gets my vote. If you go for the 2012 version on (until they replaced that series with the ‘Professional’ or whatever) you get the custom shop pickups which I really rate. Graphite reinforcement for the neck, rolled fingerboard edges etc make for a fine playing and very stable bass. They are also in budget. Olympic white is the one to go for 😉

I’m not sure if the Ui16 has it but the Ui24 I believe has a feedback destroyer algorithm which is a real benefit. I have successfully used an XR18 for a few years and can’t speak highly enough about it but I have to use an outboard FBD. If I was purchasing now I would go with a Ui24.

I've just purchased an Audient ID4 (ID14's little brother) as part of the Audio Technica AT2035 studio pack. This was purchased following tons of research. First go at recording vocals this morning and it is excellent! Intuitive to use, easy to set up and the clarity is second to none. Highly recommended!

Pete Way for me too - late 70’s/early 80’s UFO were at the Apollo in Manchester every 6 months or so it seemed. I used money earned from doing my paper round to buy tickets. Happy times!

Gavin just bought my HX Stomp. Great communication with immediate responses to messages. Payment sent immediately. Absolutely hassle free and a very pleasant transaction. I would have no hesitation in dealing with him anytime. Cheers Gavin. Hope you enjoy the Stomp (I get the feeling you will).

Yes, I saw the photo and immediately thought ‘he looks just like Kenny Everett’.

Kenny Everett

Agreed however it is a close run thing against the ‘Upright bass made from a wheelbarrow’ thread in the EUB and double bass section.

I'm really enjoying this - absolute madness!

Waiting for the Punchline by Extreme. Following Pornographiti and 3 Sides to Every Story, I was disappointed to say the least. But, I gave it a try again a little later and it’s now my favourite album by them. My expectations when it came out were more of the same I suppose so once I realised it wasn’t and listened to it on it own merits I’ve come to love it’s raw, stripped back feel. Awesome band!

We use an app called Time Tree. Works well for us.

Thanks for the heads up. I don’t have Audible but Mrs Zed does. Downloaded and in her library this morning ready for me to listen to.

I’ve been a Rush fan since around 1978 when I first heard them. Absolutely gutted tbh. I love the fact that he took some time out and went on a mammoth motorcycle trip! RIP Neil.

Had a bit more work done on the tattoo - really pleased with it now.

Berg HD212 or Barefaced (if you want something lightweight) is where I’d be looking.

Good though aren’t they - they have a piano-like tone about them.

It just used to be called rock when I was listening to it. Now it’s a few years old and it stands the test of time it has become ‘classic’ rock. Rock is just rock - enjoy it for what it is. It doesn’t have to be deemed ‘classic’ or anything else really.

I hope you’ve had the floor reinforced 😳
