  1. Any ideas gratefully received on the following. When I assigned a letter to a patch or series of patches all is well, pedal behaves, stomp on the switch and voila! The next patch is selected. However if I want simply to use it as a stomp box (patch on, stomp, patch off) things take on a less predictable air. Sometimes I get the patch whether it's on or off, sometimes I get one or other of the individual effects within that patch, regardless of whether it's on or off, and sometimes it works just fine as you'd expect it to. Is there a fix? Am I doing something wrong? I did update the firmware other than that I have just followed the manual.
  2. I had the Vox Amplug and it disintegrated under very little duress, I have the Nux GP1 which is much more robust a third of the price and sounds horrible. I have a Zoom B1on which runs on AA batteries and makes a great headphone amp and is very cheap but bulky. Same goes for the Vox Pathfinder, but does have a usable speaker for low volume practise. The one that got away was my Pocket Rockit which was just great. Actually I gave it away to a mate when I had 'given up' playing bass 🤦🏼‍♂️ and now you can't buy them. I like the look of this
  3. so this thread led me here, I actually laughed out loud
  4. I have had no bass gas for months but this has snagged in my subconscious and won't let go.
  5. In a pinch I'll allow a mirrored finish But only under very specific conditions.
  6. Beautiful absolutely beautiful. Obviously needs a tort plate as they are always the best with any and every finish. But my goodness that's a work of art.
  7. I avoid buying stuff if I have to organise a courier. No moral reason just can't be bothered. So I've always offered delivery or postage assuming others will feel the same and wishing to maximise my chances of a sale. However I recently sold something at a very very very reasonable price. Organised delivery to some pretty exacting specifications from the buyer. Parcel arrived late. Unhappy buyer. I refunded half the postage cost.No feedback and me out of pocket. From that experience I decided that future buyers can meet me somewhere, get a fellow Basschatter to deliver or take their chances with Hermes and the rest.
  8. Needs fixing but i bet some of you can. I can't get to Staffordshire to get it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trace-elliot-gp7-bass-head-spares-or-repair/133241751394?hash=item1f05d3c762:g:y5EAAOSw2ntd0B6v
  9. I attach this to this with this still on that to weigh it down. Then at the end of the night there is no stand to pack away and the heavy thing is still on the wheelie thing and ready (literally) to roll. Now if there was a way to grow a mic stand out of the wheelie thing then possibly this could sit on this and weigh it down whilst being protected by that from drunken punters. The main problem is it would be as sin.
  10. Anyone found a good hack for microphone stands?
  11. They're both centre neg, I use them with power supplies all the time.
  12. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/232358-fdeck-clone-made-in-uk/
  13. Weird thing. I tried swapping out my Boss Synth pedal for the Digitech Ricochet and the power block shut itself down. I've added up the amps from all the pedals combined and it is comfortably below 2A. So why does it particularly dislike this one pedal?
  14. I love this kind of thing! I've been using suitcases from charity shops for a while now. My favourite is styled like an oversized school satchel and holds a square pedal board perfectly. Into the flap/pocket on the front I slid some big airwrap packaging so my pedals are protected from bumps. My most recent purchase came from Lidl middle aisle. It's a four socket extension lead designed with Christmas light enthusiasts in mind. Instead of one block of four sockets these are daisy chained a metre or so apart. Now when rocking up at awkward pub venues with only one bloody socket instead of plugging in a 4 gang which everyone else must then try to get to, I can lay out my lidl lead and sockets can be found at easy to access intervals.
  15. I've been running 8 pedals with it since 5.30 this evening. About an hour and a half ago the battery indicator began to suggest it was running low but it's still going and it's just past 10pm. Good enough for me. I don't tend to do many gigs longer than 4 1/2 hours! A wireless pedal board is a wonderful thing. Tidy and easily portable. I'm a convert.
  16. I need a different synth pedal. Had this one nearly 3 weeks now!
  17. *switches to incognito browsing*
  18. *begins feverishly searching Double Muff*
  19. Idly wondering if my distortion pedal habit isn't a little out of control - especially given the nature of the bands I play for - and realised I'm actively trying to find a Big Muff Deluxe purely because Tony Levin said so. I already have Joyo Sweet Baby, Ammoon American Sound, Caline Overdrive and MXR Bass Fuzz. I recently moved on my Mark Bass Distorsore. Reasonably modest number you say? But then if you add in the available distortion/overdrive and fuzz on my three different Zoom pedals (probably a dozen or so on each plus the amp sims most of which can be driven via increased gain) then it begins to look like Overkill.
  20. The moderators are certainly a cut above the average,
  21. I don't know many online fora nor real life meetings where the membership remains unchanged to be fair. Since I returned some regular posters have faded and some who were once mainstays barely pop in. On the other hand there are still many kind, thoughtful people here. Just stay away from the off topic threads. Nothing worse than discovering that lovely bloke who leant you a bass or sold you a pedal you'd been searching for is a nazi.
