    Any BCers in/around Southend fancy some live goth/post-punk music action on Friday? My band, The InSect, is headlining. Details below

    So does this forum have a dark Theme I can switch to? The white background hurts my eyes on 34" ultrawide.

      Balcro's idea is good, I always have the 'Night Light' on Win10 turned on with the 'blue' dialled down to 66%.  Much kinder on the eyes.

    Work meetings you don't need to contribute in are really good to sit and practice scales!

    First hangover in about 10 years. 
    Now I know why I hardly drink these days. Please just kill me.

      What a mix, yes you were asking for it.  We've all been there I'm sure.

      Dioralyte is your friend, especially if you remember to drink it before going to bed.

    Hi guys quick question. Which flat to choose instead TI Flats? Same clarity and bright sound but more tension are what I need for. Thank you.

      @jb90 I think I got mine on eBay.  Like I said, there's some used ones for sale here.  Like Acidbass, I tune my bass flat on all strings, so the higher tension helps to normalize the feel.

      I've had the same set on for a few months and they don't sound too different from new, so last a long time like flats.

      I use GHS pressurewounds for the higher tension and to lose the finger noise associated with rounds.  Less bright than rounds but brighter than regular flats.  Some used ones for sale right now (not by me).  You could do worse.  

      Or you could try the new set of GHS Brite Flats that I have sale, though I haven't tried them so I couldn't say what the tension or tone is like from a personal perspective.

    Help! - anyone got experience of shipping a bass from UK to France - carriers, likely cost approx, who's good, who to avoid. Any help appreciated.

      I've found UPS via interparcel to be pretty competitive.  And it's my understanding they insure full value of musical instruments.

    I won an NI Komplete Kontrol S49 keyboard on eBay at 11am. Then 20 minutes later I get an email telling me that the seller has cancelled the transaction because the item is either out of stock or damaged. In other words it went for far less than he wanted. So my search continues.

    1. Sharkfinger

      Problem is, you can't prove it either way.  I've been on the other side of that (as a seller) and had frustrated buyers concocting all kind of conspiracy theories about why they can't have their item.
