[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1475690496' post='3148035'] I've used Pete, he is sound. A genuinely nice guy that offers great rates for unsigned bands. Have used him a few times and it's always great. [/quote]That's good to know, thanks.

[quote name='Jow Bass' timestamp='1475674899' post='3147835'] Thanks for the shout out Karl. I'm waiting for the supplier to get back to me regarding the sea foam green. I would appreciate anymore ideas anyone as on different colour schemes for my next order. [/quote]Hi Jow, I love the look/shape of the bass, but I have far too many sunbursts, if you could do it in a surf colour with a 38mm nut, I would buy it now! What is the nut width? I might be wrong, but looking at the video, the nut looks like it could be about 42mm, which unfortunately would be a deal breaker for me, no matter how much I try, I just can't get on with a wider nut, I have eight precisions and I have put jazz necks on all of the ones I play and gig regularly.

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1475666997' post='3147727'] wow £28 a song from someone with a client list like that? I'd bite their arm off! [/quote]We probably will bite their arm off! To be honest, it's a fun project for us, so to have someone with that CV master our efforts, for just £28 is a real bonus.

Our band is thinking about recording a song or two sometime soon, nothing major, it's just something we want to do for our own benefits, and also to hand out to family and friends who are always asking if we have any records or CD's they can have, or even buy. It's still a little way off at the moment, but we are starting to look for somewhere to get them mastered, and quite honestly, we haven't got a clue where to go, or how much it might cost. Having just read Skol303's thread on having his song mastered at Abbey Road, I realise that I'm probably a bit naive, because I would have thought that £90 + VAT to have a song mastered at Abbey Road Studios is a reasonable price, but as BigRedX said, how much of that price is because of the name? and thinking about it, he is probably right to ask the question. I have found one place that charges £28 per song, and his list of clients include [color=#3A3A3A][font=Arial]U2, The Killers, Jack White, Noel Gallagher, The Rolling Stones and many more, so I [/font][/color]was wondering if anyone on here has used them, and if so, were you happy with the end results? Also, any recommendations for other places to get a song mastered would be welcome and appreciated.

I’ve had something mastered by Abbey Road Studios!

I'm very impressed, and to be honest, it's not really my kind of music, but it really drew me in and I actually listened to it a few times, and it grew on me more and more. Loved the bass by the way. Well done, you got my vote! -

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1475584821' post='3147085'] I popped into PMT Birmingham yesterday for a bit of a nose around and ended up leaving with a new acoustic guitar. I was greeted with a friendly hello, and the guy in the acoustic area let me try whatever I wanted for as long as a wanted without any hassle or pressure, and although he was doing other stuff he was available for any questions I wanted to ask. Granted, Monday afternoons are probably quiet times but I was really pleased with the whole experience, and have been whenever I've been to a PMT branch, be it Birmingham, Northampton or Oxford. My receipt tells me that the chap who looked after me was called Sean Cunningham. Good stuff. [/quote]I quite often make a trip to PMT a half-day out, and even though I only really play bass and a little bit of guitar, I also enjoy looking around all the other departments as well, I can quite easily spend three or four hours in there. -

[color=#ff0000][b]SOLD! SOLD! SOLD![/b][/color] [b]EXAR Bass Compressor £33 posted[/b] As new, it’s only been used a few times at home. The [b]Compressor[/b] is a unique effect that reacts to your playing dynamics, and turns down the volume when it "hears" a spikey peak. The compressed signal is then given a clean boost to bring your overall average level back up. This can result in longer sustain, fatter tone, and more audible harmonics. It also helps protect your speakers against damage from volume spikes. This compressor was designed specifically for bass, and it allows a huge amount of squash if you want, without losing any low frequencies. It can also be used more subtly. All new EXAR pedals use silent true-bypass switching, and they have 1 Meg input impedance, to bring out all the high-end detail even from passive instruments and long cables. The housing is rugged cast metal, in the same small size as MXR, Keeley, and other compact pedals, plus it has a convenient easy-access battery door.

[color=#ff0000][b]SOLD! SOLD! SOLD![/b][/color] [b]DOD Stereo Flanger FX75C[/b] [b]£25 posted![/b] As new, it’s only been used a few times at home. The FX75C delays the input sound and then mixes the delayed and original sound together. The DELAY time control adjusts the amount of delay time in conjunction with: the WIDTH control which sets the range through which the delay time may vary, and the SPEED control which adjusts the rate at which delay time changes. The REGENeration control adjust the height of the comb filter peaks by controlling feedback through the delay circuitry. The REGENeration control allows the adjustment of the effect from very subtle to very pronounced. The FX75C splits your guitar signal, adds a short delay to one of the signals, and then changes the delay time at an even rate.This results in a slight fluctuation in pitch of the delayed signal The FX75C then adds a “whooshing up, and down” sound to your guitar by incorporating regeneration into the delayed signal.

The 1st string tuner is way out of square, and there appears to be a screw hole just above the 2nd string tuner. Hard to tell for sure, but it looks like someone has put a Fender logo on the neck. I have put Mighty Mite necks on quite a few of my basses, and I even put one on my American Standard precision, its a Jazz neck because I prefer a narrower nut width, and it plays superb. As Jezzaboy said, if you like it, and it plays well and the price is right, go for it.

I've just brought up the saved content to do a screenshot, which is exactly what I tried last night at least a dozen times, and again today a few times, and it's listed straight away. It's a mystery!

I'm trying again to list a pedal which I'm putting up for sale at £45, but each time I click on Post New Topic, a message says, [b]Please enter a Price[/b], it kept doing this last night when I tried to list it. I have definitely entered a price in the box, but if I hover over the price box, I keep getting the same message as before, [b]You will be charged £7 per item, or £20 for unlimited items for a year on items over £50[/b], what am I doing wrong?

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1475478727' post='3146122'] As Roland said anything under £50 is free. If you want to sell an item that is over and above £50, then you have a choice: either pay £7 to advertise it, or splash out £20 which means you can then advertise that item and any others that are over £50, for a whole year. It's a bargain. [/quote]Cheers Gary, I thought it might be me, although I still think its a little bit confusing the way it is worded. When I tried to list the first item which was £45, a notice kept flashing up saying [b]You will be charged £7 per item, or £20 for unlimited items for a year on items over £50[/b], it didn't say anything about items a under £50 are free, so I didn't list it. I agree that £20 is a bargain, thats the option I normally take whenever need to shift a bass or two to make way for another incoming beauty!

I'm having a clear out, and I am about to list a load of effects pedals. Now it's probably me, but the way I read the charges it just wouldn't be worthwhile, here's what it states: [b]You will be charged £7 per item, or £20 for unlimited items for a year on items over £50[/b]. I really wanted to pay the annual fee of £20, but does that mean I will be charged an extra £7 to list each pedal, because all but one will be under £50? And if I decide to go the £7 per item route, it just wouldn't be worthwhile, as I intend to list them low in the hope that they sell, and that people will get something for a reasonable price, but some are as low as £15, so if I take £3 off for postage and £7 for the listing, that means I end up with just a fiver. Ideally, I would like to list them separately so I can include all the necessary info, so would I be better off putting them on eBay where most weeks they offer free listings, or should I pay a one-off fee of £7, and price them all separately in the one very long listing on here?

[quote name='spiltmilk_2000' timestamp='1475421002' post='3145757'] Was in digital village a few years back buying stuff for with a band I was in... 2 keyboards, 4 pa speakers, mics and stands... Already rung up on the till... The guitarist then decided he'd like to try a new fender amp. When we asked the sales guy if he could audition it he said "I'm not getting it from the store room unless you definitely buy it" when we explained we'd like to hear it first he said "can't you just imagine what it sounds like?" Needless to say I've never been back to "the imaginarium" since... [/quote]Surely you walked immediately without buying the gear already in the till? I must say though, I used to use the Barnet shop quite a lot when they still had shops, and all I had to do was ring them about something and if they didn't have in stock, they would get one in for me to try usually by the next day without any obligation to buy.
