    Price drop to £225.00

    My internal SSD is nearly full. SSD is a lot faster than spinning rust. Even on simple things like saving a large excel spreadsheet loading and saving is noticeably faster.

    Lovely. How do I make it install onto my external SDD instead of the C drive? Not much room left on that.

    Fantastic basses. I love mine.

    Bump - now for sale and not trade as circumstances have changed. Christmas expenses / covid etc. ta

    If they are short enough switches it shouldn't be an issue.

    I learn 1 bar at a time. Get that nailed and then move onto the next one. Nail that, then string the 2 together. Then do the 3rd etc etc. Each time I add a new one I remove any clues of the first one so force me to remember it.

    Loving my Ibanez Mezzo 5 string. Fantastic neck, easy to play, nice and light - and under £300. Bargain!

    https://www.guitarworld.com/news/empress-reboots-one-of-the-top-compressor-pedals-on-the-market-and-launches-new-bass-version I loved the compressor - only sold it because it was too big for my mini board. This really interests me.

    Oh no! Played at and watched some great gigs there.

    Nope. D'addario won't sell them to the public. Monumentally thick decision. For rounds I've swapped over to the Newtone. Very happy with them indeed. Dunlops for flats - love those strings.

    PJ 32 scale? Nearly P shaped - the Ibanez Mezzo 4 string is under 7lb and there is a red one.
  13. fretmeister
    Sandberg will let you special order a Super Light VS model (the nearly P shape). The J version comes in at about 6.5lb Have to check with them on colours though - the TT (J shape) is only available in stains rather than paint. I don't know if there is a technical reason, or it's just a way to keep the weight down. They do have a lovely red burst though.

    Tom just bought my Barefaced One10 cabs. Came to collect, wore a mask etc etc. Very smooth all the way. Thank you. Good to meet you.
  15. fretmeister
    SOLD and GONE.
  16. fretmeister
    On hold.

    Selling my pair of Barefaced One10 cabs. Both are in good condition but with the expected tolex ungluing on the back. That never bothered me but IIRC a buyer can get some glue from Alex if they want to sort it. They have been played regularly with a jazz big band and sound amazing even with a low B. Only reason I'm selling is that I bought a Super Twin that I'm using more. Looking for £275 each but a deal could be done for the pair if you want both. Ideally collection from Northants as I do not have the original boxes anymore. Not sure what the new lockdown would do for shipping times. I recently sold a Marshall head and the buyer stood at the front door while I played in the hallway so he could see all was working while maintaining social distancing. So that is possible and seemed to work well. Payment by paypal only. I can't get to a bank at the moment as I'm looking after someone who is shielding post surgery. Thanks.

    I think the issue is whether you want the toe switch to work or not. I'm not aware of any other than the mission one with the 2nd jack for the toe switch control. Better off asking in the main facebook group. 30,000 nerds there!

    Have you got a budget in mind? Used ones come up reasonably priced.
  20. fretmeister
    That was really working up until the chorus. Then it wasn't.
  21. fretmeister
    The tiny BF one10 handles a low B beautifully. Top end is nice too - but no tweeter. Does go to 6Khz though

    Approach it from the side. "We are a band of mid 30s males...... if you have the talent and think you would be a good fit musically and socially then...." That will cut 90% of the people you are trying to not recruit.

    This. I was in a 4 piece with 2 women, 2 men. Agent said he would expect to charge 20-30% more because of the (his words I hasten to add) "Tit factor" Funnily enough at the next gig the women wore decided to wear more revealing outfits. Made it quite difficult to concentrate for 2 reasons (not those 2) - Firstly they were both very attractive. Secondly the singer was married to the drummer and I was worried about getting a stick to the back of the head if I was caught looking at the singer's bum too often!

    For band use - Depends entirely on the song. For a youtube bass cover it has to match the thing you are playing along to otherwise it won't sound quite right and you'll get armies of commentators complaining in the comments. Even if you play a line that the band did, say perhaps from a different performance of the same song the YT crowd will still have a go.

    Well - I have a G70 as you seem to. Then I looked at getting another transmitter and it was about £170 or something. Then Andertons did the blowout on the G75 set for £149.99. So I bought that. Got another transmitter on the cheap and a spare base unit, albeit it the different shape. Bargain!
