    They're still there, but you have to go get 'em, using the Menu selection 'Categories/Default' (and I agree; they would be better as 'Default', but... whatever...).

    If there's anyone in the region that would be willing to take this on and manage it (for instance, move the items out, getting them sold, then hand over proceeds, or similar...), that could lift the burden, maybe..? A PM (to Ped, perhaps..?) would be a way to get such a ball rolling. Just an idea; hope this helps. (I'm obviously too far away, so can only offer my sincere condolences...)

    ... but only after having played 'as is' for quite some time. No damage will be done by 'tweaking', but no good either, until you're a bit more familiar with some of this stuff. Leave all of that for now, and just play the blinkin' thing..!

    Sorry, but that's not the criteria for judging these things. The 'looks' have their place, but, in musical instruments generally, it's the sound that matters most, and that's what to judge on firstly. As has been stated above, the positioning of that pickup looks to be intentional, and should be listened to, through experiences ears, before coming to any conclusions. If it's not too late, I'd say 'Don't touch anything at all, just play it' for a while (at least several weeks...), and have someone experienced, trustworthy and competent advise on any reflections you might have before taking any action at all. There's little in a bass such as yours which will require attention for quite some while, as it is a fine instrument, able to give satisfaction 'out of the box', yet still be 'tweakable' once one has enough experience to know what's best for oneself. Play it through your new amp, and enjoy your first steps on a long and fruitful path, in full confidence that you're on safe ground. Don't try to run yet; it's the fastest way to trip up. Slow, steady, sure... You've made some excellent choices up to now; keep that up and you'll go far.

    Fixed.

    Not quite right; the demo version is free, but mutes after ten minutes. Just sayin'.

    For those that like funk, this ^^ (previous post...) is Good Stuff, worth looking into.
  13. Dad3353
    Every track, yes, but in totality..? 'Fraid not, old son. Enough to appreciate the inherent quality, though; it's almost good enough to have one regret not 'digging' funk..! (I am a superstar in other respects, of course, but that should go without saying, shouldn't it..? )

    Assuming funds were available..? The amp/cab part would be easy enough, as there's a very nice Laney Nexus rig for sale at the present moment in these very pages, so that would be snapped up in a shot, to replace my Hiwatt 200w head and HH 2 x 15 cab. A bass would be more difficult, as there are no longer that many Hofner Verithin basses around, certainly not in as good condition as is mine. I'd be patient, although, in the meantime, I'd get by with a gold-top Jack Casady from Epiphone. The Verithin is much lighter, though, and at my age... Pedals..? Nah, I plug directly into the head, s'all. Did I mention I was 'old school'..? No..? Hmm, how odd...

    Maybe post this in the 'Funk' topic..? I'll admit that it's not my 'bag', as a genre, but, in that genre, I'd also have to say that it doesn't come much better than this. Tight, 'funky' playing, competent arrangements, superb production... What's not to like..? Well done, all involved; it's a cracker (if one is 'into' this style, naturally...). Good Stuff.

    Is that really its title..?
  17. Dad3353
    So... (see above ^^...) No 'software glitch', just a numpty nodding off, again..!
  18. Dad3353
    Well they do all sound the same.

    Just send him your credit card if you're that desperate.

    If it would help any of you, a quick PM to Ped asking to be self-banned from the Marketplace would work, I reckon (or would that be cheating..?). Just sayin'.

    Good afternoon, Billy , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

    I'd have to admit to being as 'glass-backed' as they come, and even older than that (dunno about the 'geezer' bit, but still...); I'd still be highly interested in this ensemble, but for 1 - already having several valve amps, 2 - not having any spare cash at all for now, 3 - living on a different part of our common tectonic plate and 4 - being a drummer (..!). I'd echo the surprise above about this not having been snapped up; this amp has not 1, not 2, not 4, but 8 (yes, eight..!) KT88 valves, which are without question, the valves for a bass amp. I have a Hiwatt DR205 (200w PA head...) for bass, which has four of these valves, and is clean up to the heavens, even at stadium/festival volumes; this Nexus has more potential (is that even possibles..?), plus the full set of bass-purpose controls to dial in grit if needed, and all mod cons for going to FOH or recording console. The pricing is keen; very keen. If it's still here when I get my lottery win (which I doubt; I've yet to buy a ticket...), I'll be over in a jiffy with my estate car to load it up (I'd need some help with that, of course, being even older than that, and glass-backed...). Meanwhile, have a bump, and good luck with the sale.

    And the winner is... Lurksalot..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2018_09.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...
