Though I haven't tried it yet so I can't vouch for it.

[size=5][sup]I've noticed the same thing with mine, I'm sure it will drian the battery a bit more but I can't say by how much. I was using batteries in my effects as well since I only have 3 pedals at the moment but I'm sick of changing batteries and have just ordered a daisy chained power supply off ebay (the last straw came when I forgot to unplug the jack leads from my MXR288 the other night only to find the battery completely dead the next day).[/sup][/size] [size=5][sup]The power supply definately makes sense economically when you look at the price (mine was ~£11) compared with battery changes. Plus there's nothing more annoying than being stuck without a tuner or effect because the battery has run out.[/sup][/size]

Played a battle of the bands once where we each had about 12" square to play in. I couldn't move a muscle for fear of whacking our lead guitarist with my headstock. In the end the judges criticised us for being too static on stage!

Talent-wise I'm sure I could be easily replaced since I only started playing bass to join our band (used to play drums). However the band had tried other bass players before but couldn't find anyone that fitted in personality, age etc. These types of things are very important to how a band gets along. Talent is only part of a much bigger equation.

One day I'm going transplant it into a 1/2 rack size aluminium flightcase. [/quote] This is brilliant. I've just got an MB200 myself and I've already started thinking of a rack mounted compressor and maybe a separate power amp so I can extend to two cabs for bigger gigs.

[/quote] Yeah, that might be worth a look, all the reviews seem positive...

Being realistic I'd be happy with a giggable rig in the next few weeks and a Sansamp or similar later in the year. Or if my New-Job-AS bears fruit then some more goodies might be on the cards....

Apparently I put on a 'sex face' when I'm playing in an intense live situation. I've also noticed I stand on one leg a lot.

Could a chain of pedals be set up to get power the same way (assuming all are 9V)? I suppose the power supply would need a pretty hefty current rating...

I was playing in a new rehearsal room last night and the amp they had there was a Behringer BXL3000 (I think). Could not get a nice sound out of the octaver at all Everything I tried was really harsh sounding. Has anyone else had this kind of difficulty when switching between amps?
