  1. Closest I've been to this situation was a couple of years back. It wasn't nearly as bad but my response to it was important. I was promised an audition which never happened, just didn't hear back... until... I got a call saying they hadn't bothered to audition me or anybody else as their regular dep has changed his mind and decided he wanted the full time gig. However he wasn't available for new years eve and could I maybe step in? Oh and it doesn't pay very well, it's for a pub which lets us rehearse for free so we play cut price for them. I could have said all sorts of rude things but I didn't I took the gig and gave depped for them many times since, am in a band with the singer who also got me a regular gig in another band with her recommendation. So yeah, stay cool, keep the contact, you never know.
  2. Another couple of deals gone pear shaped so knocking a bit off this one. now £675
  3. I have tidy cable envy now.
  4. and replied!
  5. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️
  6. Right so, these are two for 6 quid the bungee ball loops are 25 for 9 quid or 20 for 7 quid. Although like @Stub Mandrel my first thought was either a coat hanger or ten minutes on a jigsaw..
  7. Elasticated ball loops are quite an eye opener too.
  8. Hard to say. It's quieter than some louder than others. Certainly I can hear it but not over my playing even at low volume levels. I'm intrigued by your other question a out two master volumes, can you explain maybe with some pictures?
  9. 🧝‍♂️ 👺 🤦🏼‍♂️
  10. Gigged only once since the new valves went in. Anyone up for some British tube type goodness?
  11. I didn't realise this applies to TCE as well. I knew Markbass stuff cannot be maintained except by post for vast expense. Is all class D stuff the same?
  12. I almost agree with you! So that's good. The pitch shifting gives me no trouble at all. Also deserving of mention, the synth effect is quite incredibly flexible with a gazillion adjustable parameters. Being able to adjust over all volume and tone on the fly is a great addition too. One of the issues with multi fx is how different they sound on the venue compared with the bedroom. Often a simple bass boost or cut or volume change is all that's needed to fix it. Menu diving into a digital pedal mid gig is never fun.
  13. Impossible to say if you will like the effects or not it's all down to personal preference and expectation. However it's an excellent practice tool, and tuner. If you're only after reverb, you can't really go wrong.
  14. Seriously, it is. Its light and can be powered off AA batteries, a useful headphone amp if nothing else. Lots of reverb and delay effects.
  15. Yeah the 4 is the new 1 (as it were) and jolly good it is too.
  16. Look forward to seeing it.
  17. Agreed. If it was a battery powered headphone amp with aux in it would be considered a bargain. Actually it is way more than that.
  18. I always recommend RCF and they do one of those modern thingies. I only say this because they're the best I've owned. I haven't tried them all you understand!
  19. My absolute favourite styles of bass to play are ska and heavy rock. What is that all about?
  20. So glad this is pick up only. Been wanting to try one of these for a while now but I can't afford it, would buy it anyway and then I would starve. Fortunately you're too far away! Good luck with your sale.
  21. Most glorious. I was going to say that I bow to no man in my love of these instruments but reading what others have written, it seems I far from alone. Good luck with your sale, way beyond my means unfortunately
  22. Me too. 🤔. Wondering if this is wise.
