Big fan. Had it from release day and it's stayed on my board ever since.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1409438494' post='2539800'] I dunno about that, but generally if the rehearsal before a gig goes well then it'll be a sh*tty gig, and vice versa... [/quote] Oh yes!

I do have an NXT. And I reckon I've got about 3 weeks before the wife gets to see the credit card bill She used to moan about string replacement time before....

It's a bit thunderous.

Bow on the way! I'm quite excited!

I'm loving these lessons. I'm an EUB virgin (I know it's not a real DB, but I can't fit a real one in the house) and the stuff about hand positioning has already made playing so much easier.

Bergantino CN112 Wonderful thing.

This is getting a bit Indiana Jones!! Lovely!

Very kind! PM incoming.

I have joined EUB land with a NS Design NXT. Can someone recommend a serviceable and cheap bow that will get me started please? I have no idea what I'm looking for at all! And what about roisin? There seems to be a huge choice that I wasn't expecting at all! Thank you.

I have just bought a lovely NXT 5 string and I'm after some lower tension strings. I've seen Walbassists's youtube clip of his BSX and the Silver Slap set sounds just right, especially while my EUB virgin hands get stronger. I also noticed that Wallbassist got a Low B, but they are not on the Innovation shop site - are they a special order, and if so, how do I order? ta!

It's spreading though. The Superbowl halftime show is also now pay to play http://www.forbes.com/sites/willburns/2014/08/20/why-pay-to-play-will-ruin-the-super-bowl-halftime-show/

I love my Streamliner. Superb amp!

There is a very short list of people who I would let use my amps. I hate it when other people aren't polite enough to ask in advance and then try to blame me for not sharing, because I'm ruining their gig. Easy to solve - just tell them I need £3000 in cash in my pocket and they can use it. If it is undamaged then they get their money back. If not, they lose all of it. Never had anyone accept those terms! Or there is the always reliable - "You want a go on my amp? Only if I can have a go on your woman."

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1407579054' post='2521923'] You really need to check the shop out as the website doesn't compare to shop prices from my experience. [/quote] That's even worse! That lets the website put me off from wanting to visit in the first place - and yet if I was in there they might get my custom.

Wunjo seem very well regarded, but I'm not sure about some of their pricing - I've been looking at some pedals and noticed that they are selling the Darkglass B3K and Duality at over £100 more than everywhere else!

GHS Pressurewounds are stunning strings. Usually can only find them on ebay from the US, but they are very nice. they aren't ground, they are sort of squashed!

Blimey Have we really reached the stage that even mid range instruments are getting ripped off? It's getting to the point where a purchase has to be brand new to make sure it's real. Over the last few weeks I've reported about 4 pedal listings to ebay as they were clearly knock-offs. Xotic seem to be suffering a lot with that at the moment.

I like a little bit of give in the strap - so I use a Neotech Mega bass strap. It's wider than most over the shoulder but tapers down a bit so it doesn't get in the way. It's a perfect shape for me, I'd be very interested in a leather version of it.

Status do their own light ones. 30-90 I think.

Used Roland Bass Cube 30. I love mine. I even gig it with an orchestra.

The One Spot has a massive 1700mA capability. Most of the isolated power supplies like the Voodoo Labs PP2 only have about 200mA at each output and you need to joint 2 of them together for 18V I got fed up with the limitations of the admittedly very good Pedal Power 2 and splurged on a Gigrig Power Generator, Distributors and Isolators. It's been brilliant. Not cheap, but plenty of current and no noise.
