[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1508412569' post='3391993'] Thought that Jessie Ware was her usual outstanding self last week..... [url="https://youtu.be/b3kTN4Sde1w"]https://youtu.be/b3kTN4Sde1w[/url] [/quote] ... and no bass player in sight, eh..? The future of bassists is secure..? Hmm... (Very nice, polished performance; great arrangement. Good Stuff...)

Good afternoon, BH, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1508357926' post='3391710'] The issue is more about how musicians and bands can get the short end of the stick... [/quote] You get the conditions for the gig and choose to do it or not. What others get as conditions and choose to accept or not is irrelevant, unless jealous. At a party, someone gets a slice of cake; you get none. Important to you or not..?

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1508348260' post='3391597'] In this digital age, do any of us read the R&G's in any fine detail, especially if from a hand -held device? If for example ( like I did last week) I added a hard case to my Bass Sale Advert to sweeten the deal, is that an infraction? Taken at face value and literally according to (9i) quoted above, it would appear so...? Not being (too) pedantic here but maybe the rules need to be clearer: just sayin I actually revived this thread to highlight a positive experience so I'm not just 'havin a go'! [/quote] Adding a (free...) hard case as a sweetener would be OK. Adding a hard case and upping the price, or offering the case as a separate item, would not. It's especially flagrant when we see ads for a whole shed load of pedals, for instance, with a list that changes as the items are sold and new'uns added. Pays for one ad, gets (in theory...) an infinite number of sales..! Not on, we say; not on. Honest mistakes can be catered for, with a PM to any Mod, but ignorance of the T & C's is usually spotted, and a reminder is the usual 'first response'. It keeps us Mods on our toes, though, so it's not [i]all [/i]bad..!

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1508345725' post='3391558'] Yeah I had a similar experience myself re: adding items to a sale thread. Had no idea it was against the rules! [/quote] An extract from the Marketplace Rules & Guidelines the full version is linked to in my Signature below... [quote]... 9) The following will result in an advert being removed without prior notice. i) Adding any extra items to any pre-existing advert. ii) Adverts containing multiple items not having a valuation amount that reflects the combined value of those items. iii)Trade adverts that do not show the cash equivalent of the item being traded. ... [/quote] I would presume that either these R & G were not read before posting ads, or were not clear enough to be understood. What can be done to make things more evident, to avoid such 'issues' in the future..? I've not come across any case of infraction that gives rise to a ban, without there being some sort of 'back story', such as repeated misdemeanours, and even then only for serious misconduct. Just sayin', for balance.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1508326167' post='3391354'] Indeed, from one of the food vendors supplying their services for free too? [/quote] Isn't this jealousy, though..? What difference would it make if the band fee was huge, and the vendor giving stuff away..? Looking after your own affairs I can understand, but looking around to see how others have chosen to do things I find very odd. Just me as usual, I suppose.

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1508313885' post='3391213'] Curse you, I've just wasted 15mins on this... [/quote] Ditto, but with a different outcome. Empty pedestrian funk with no 'lift' nor 'sparkle'; a drumming nightmare, seemingly never-ending. The Toronto 'live' (is the term 'live' really applicable to this dead beat..?) shows it up for what it isn't; a bad bastard child of Baba O'Riley and James Brown. I shan't be proposing this number to our band; what little reputation I have left I'd like to keep. Not The Who's finest hour, I'd suggest. What's that you say..? Did I like it..? No, I didn't.

... and pedals..! Whatever next..!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1508253449' post='3390880']... Anyone have anything good or bad to say? [/quote] Slightly smaller set-up, but equivalent to Thomann. Bought a few things over the years; no issues. A reliable company; been going for years. Hope this helps.

Must be worth three tenners, if they're really Stagg EUB's, surely..?

Finger trouble, or too much brandy too early. Happens even to the best of us all the time.

The ad now says: 'This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.' Wrong price, probably.
