BigRedX Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Herco Flex 75 plectrums, although I usually buy them 100 at a time so that doesn't work out particularly cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBass Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Good thread for me this. Wifey and me generally visit the home of a bass playing mate on dec 31st, just after his kids have been put to bed. They supply all the grub and we bring presents. Two years ago it was a bass strap, from Pinegrove leather: https://www.pinegroveleather.com And last year it was a pedal board. Not sure what to pick this year so I'm keeping an eye out for any good suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stops punters treading on/breaking them when plugged in my multi-fx pedal and keeps it tidy at the bass end. I don't know why you can't seem to buy double angled jack leads off the shelf 🤷♂️ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282752194226 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Gaffa tape. Always gaffa tape. Another vote for a Behringer BDI 21. While not exactly a pocket money purchase, at £35, this has been a real boon. It raises my Genz Benz combo off the floor and into a position where I can actually hear it. Solid as a rock and very portable. If you use a tablet for cheat sheets, I can recommend one of these: I've got one (branded Cuvave) and it's had 2-3 years of regular use with no issues. Currently a mere £9.64 on AliExpress Edited November 13, 2023 by rushbo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost went for one of those workmen's platforms/stepladders things, but their footprint was too big. This Thomann stand folders up into a T shape and is way lighter (if less impressive) than carting around the extension cab to seat it on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 For the last 11 or 12 years, it's been a set of strings from my daughter. Trouble is, they're not £15 any more. Great when I was using Elites on a 4 string but now, my fave strings are La Bella white nylons, on a 5 string. A set is anything up to £70 these days so I think it'll be back to the good old standby £20 Amazon voucher from the kids from now on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a decent laptop bag. Current one is made by Jeep oddly enough but its seen better days now and looking at proper gig bag of some kind. Might approach Hot Covers to see if they could make me one as they do all my amp and cab covers. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot stepson lost partners car keys. I had to drive seven miles bringing her spare. It was the kids dinner time and she was going frantic. I said to her “you have an AirTag, ping them”. She had forgotten. He’d put them in a plastic box in a field half a mile away and she was able to locate them using the iPhone map. We would never have found them otherwise. You don’t want to know what she called Mr Idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not 'losing them', that's 'hiding them', probably to recover them later for his own use. Hmm... Not cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cool. No that was stupidity- they all had to come back together. Yesterday’s stupidity was to start a bonfire, next to a wooden fence, with bushes and overhanging trees, 1.5 metres from a wooden shed containing rabbits and bedding.
