  1. I will but a) I'm skint and b) they have hardly any in
  2. I was watching G&Gs YT channel and came across this He uses a Bee Box as the basis for a guitar cab. Always worth a watch (for the builds and bass stuff rather that the firearms) as his recommendations are solid and thanks to him I now set up my own instruments, up to and including fret levelling and dressing. It got me thinking. We all know about the IKEA shelf unit which is really a pedal board, but is there a bass cab masquerading as a wardrobe, blanket box or shoe rack? Any thoughts ideas or maybe even experience?
  3. Ooooh, exciting. As a HB fan who has, thus far, only shopped in the bargain basement I'm really interested to know what these higher priced models are like. I've seen YT reviews on some trusted (by me) channels but not chatted with any 'real life' users. Please keep us in the loop!
  4. Fabulous stuff. Pointed this out to a guy my age who was claiming that the young people had it easy. I listed all the advantages we had growing up that my kids never had. I know I'm glad I went to school and started work in the 70s rather than now.
  5. Hi folks, another day another bass transcription, another question. I have an eight bar section repeats six times. Is this too many to just write 'six times' and enclose it in repeat signs? What is the conventional wisdom? Would that make it a bit of a nightmare to count? Sould I write it out twice and only repeat three times? This is what it looks like at the moment Oh and where should the 'six times' go? at the end of the section or where it is now?
  6. I intend to buy the one you recommend. False economy awaits otherwise! Having read some of the manual I realise this has the potential to be way more than a creative tool. This could replace multiple pedals in my system. I hadn't realised that. Very excited now.
  7. I shall, thank you. Money has changed hands, I will be joining the club soon. Just trying to find that interface at an affordable price. I can find an affordable interface but not that one - it's higher than I anticipated. I'll keep looking
  8. OK I'm back. Didn't hurt a bit! Two YT vids, one demystified MIDI, the other showed the FI linked to its software which basically looks very much like a synthesiser without the need to plug in a spaghetti junction of jack plugs. I am no longer scared
  9. No fair enough but it was stated that they seldom work as well as two identical cabs. I refute this but only from my own personal experience. Of course my experience is limited and unscientific, but in fairness it covers many decades of both mixing and matching without ever experiencing a bad result from either. I was reacting to a statement at odds with my own experience that was all.
  10. I am still trying to join the club. But while I wait I suppose I should find out what midi is. After getting away with not knowing for all these years. Oh God this is going to hurt isn't it?
  11. Ah OK. Well, keep us updated should anything change.
  12. Funny you should say that, just as I'm planning to sell one.
  13. BL put a date in our diary today, for August. So she's hopeful.
  14. I bet, but I am pretty well covered in that area.
  15. I can only go by my experience. Some people can nit pick and fault find better than me.
  16. I liked that it could be driven to dirty a pbass just a little bit. However I could never turn it up enough to really get it to break up, it was just so darned loud.
  17. Played mine in a soul band. It was righteous.
  18. Just had an email from Thomann. There's a backlog in their qc department (presumably covid related staff issue) which is delaying some orders. I have read that while their basses are assembled in China they are checked in Germany before despatch . Nice to have this confirmed. Probably explains why Harley Bentons are so consistently better than they ought to be at the price point, and always arrive in tune and set up.
  19. I too have the fretless. And yes, they are wonderful. The question is do I need another P-bass in my life?
