    GR Bass AT800 Cube combo Tecamp Puma 900 head because I didn't want to part with it - I'm still building a BC112Mk3 which I may or may not use with it at gigs

    Tamworth Arts Centre was a good venue, but eventually got converted into a registry office. After having played a few gigs there from the early 80s on, the last time I was in there was marrying Mrs Zero in 2008. You always knew Bricko was doing the disco when he closed with "We are the Ovalteenies".

    I thought they came with a new bass.

    A couple of other little things about the MS-60B to qualify what @Bassmidget209 says. If you have a PC, you can use Tonelib's free and very good Zoom manager to play with the effect - https://tonelib.net/tonelib-zoom.html If you use the MS-60B standalone or off a pedalboard, Zoom's own power supply is fine, and also it can be run off two AA batteries, which last a goodly time (rechargeables last me at least 4 hours).

    Bike to replace the Tiger 800, but which one? Sei Flamboyant 5 headless fretless if one should happen to appear Fane Sovereign 8" speaker for the next cab, which I don't really need

    It should stop your house blowing away.

    Does that mean you've revised the 8" to have a rear port, or is it remaining with the front port?

    He was at Musical Exchanges when it was in Broad Street and I was a teenage schoolkid looking in the window (which had Dave Hill's Yob guitar hanging in it).

    Excellent. I'm glad it's all coming together.

    Smoothhound wireless system - works well, but why is the power supply 9V centre positive with a standard 5.5/2.1 connector when making it centre negative would have made using daisy chains or multiple outlet power supplies far simpler?

    Just checked and he is, but he's 84. Also just had a listen to a 2020 performance of Cathedrale and I prefer the original with Akkerman and Colin Allen.

    If there's enough screw left to get mole grips on, once the neck and body are separated, getting some heat onto the screws (soldering iron rather than blowtorch) could also help.

    Just trying to work out how Meris would be doing this. I assume that there's a common ground, one of tip/ring in, and the other out. Would optoisolation work both ways, or would the receiving device be assumed to be handling its own optoisolation? The black box would contain an optoisolator which would be powered from the IN DIN socket (connected to the OUT DIN socket of the Quad Cortex). That would take the input signal and isolate it, then pass it on to the Meris which presumably doesn't have optoisolation. There might be another optoisolator to go the other way. I may be wrong, of course, but it does seem like not a lot to pay £100 for - one stereo jack socket, two DIN sockets, and an optoisolator or two.

    Nux themselves say it's better than Mighty Amp.

    Me too! Using a magnifier app on the phone and then realising I was zoomed in a little too far, I managed to read the L and R.

    Yes. Used a standard bass Hiscox case with a headed bass one year, and the following two years I used the same case with a headless bass and tucked a Zoom MS60B into the bit where the headstock would have gone. Easyjet to and from Munich. I don't claim to be a seasoned international traveller but all went OK. Going back to OP (two years ago) and the preference for rectangular cases - the closer the fit to the bass, the less flex you'll get on the faces of the case. The centre of a big rectangular case will deflect inwards more than the centre of a closer-fitting case, and so poses more of a crush hazard to the bass.

    You do know that the symbol is made up of a composite of the semaphore signals for "N" and "D", don't you? And CND stands for Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. https://cnduk.org/the-symbol/

    I love my Sei Original headless fretless 5. It does have a minor stability issue with the neck, so it can need truss rod tweakery two or three times a year - I carry a capo and a set of allen keys in the bass bag, and adjusting the truss rod takes about 15 seconds.

    I can't read music. I use tab to tell me what notes to play but not where to play them, and subsequently correct any errors by playing along.

    If Jan Akkerman got back with Focus, I'd like to see them doing Hamburger Concerto (a 25 minute excerpt can be found on Youtube). Alice Cooper - Love it to death Marillion - Brave The Who - Who's Next

    Single pedals can have an advantage over multifx if they have exactly the sound you want and you always want to use them at the same settings. Where multifx score is the ability to swap between different effects of the same type, to change patches or snapshots between the same set of pedals with different settings, and being able to change your "pedalboard" very easily (either adding and removing effects or changing effect order). I have an MS60B permanently with me to put a basic sound on if I'm not using a pedalboard.
