Last night was at the Dog Inn in Water Orton. As I pointed out to the others, we can boast something that the top rock bands can't - we know everyone in the audience by name. There was a small group of (I assume) locals who were dancing around in the first half and then went into the other room. I wandered in there when we were most of the way through the second half and tried to get them in, but unfortunately one of them thought I was inviting him to sing. Oh well.

I was born in the late 50s. I've given up trying to work out what categories music is in these days.

It looks like a piece of aluminium sheet cut to shape and drilled. I've done something very similar with some brass sheet.

If it mentions guitar pedal then it'll be for a centre negative connector, like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394854770055

That should do the job. It will probably be centre positive which is something to bear in mind with the DC connector to PP3 adaptor. If you have a multimeter it would be advisable to check the polarity is right before applying the power to the bass.

The issue is that you'll be trying to power a 9V instrument from a 5V power supply, which is the equivalent of an extremely flat battery. You'd need a power bank with a 9V output on it. I have a feeling that @Smanth found a power bank that does that but I can't find it with a quick search.

Lekato MS-1? https://www.gigsandguitars.com/lekato-ms-1-iem-review/

This is the one:

Yes, I see what you mean now. The way you expressed it made it seem like you wanted it as a subforum of Amps and Cabs, rather than the next subforum along.

Zoom MS-60B. It's got the lot. I'm going through a similar exercise as I wouldn't mind putting together a tiny board for both fretted and fretless. Steve Lawson has a video on Youtube where he goes through his effects (this was some time ago so I don't know if much has changed) and his demo of the MXR bass chorus deluxe was very impressive.

No, it shouldn't appear under anything. It should be directly under the Gear section.

Why not at the same level as Bass Guitars, Effects, Amps and Cabs, etc? Putting it as a sub-forum is crap.

I must say the Disturbed version does polarise opinion between those of us who think it's great and the unappreciative philistines.

I was interested enough to find https://www.howtogeek.com/724198/the-best-airtag-alternative-for-android/

It's about geological eons. Hadean eon: 567.3 million years Archean eon: 1500 million years Proterozoic eon: 1961.2 million years Phanerozoic eon: eon: 538.8 million years Ezoic eon: 4 days (Recycled joke to save the environment)

Is the truss rod thinking of coming out of the back of the neck?

It's absolutely superb. I'm astonished that so many people on here have cloth ears. Maybe it's because you're all really old.

That's a brilliant cover.

If you want a natural finish bass, it saves a lot of work. Whoever did the scratch plate needs to go to Specsavers though.

It gets a bit complicated with "All the young dudes" because David Bowie wrote it, Mott the Hoople had a hit with it, Bruce Dickinson got into the top 30 with his cover which was very close to the original, and Bowie recorded it after Mott did but his version is inferior (not vastly though) to the other two.

Alexandra Burke's awful, awful version of "Hallelujah" which completely ripped the soul out of it. Simon Cowell is partly to blame for this utter travesty. In a similar vein to William Shatner but nowhere near as entertaining, there's Telly Savalas's version of "If" where apparently loads of reverb was deemed sufficient to conceal a complete inability to sing. "Don't sing, Theo" as someone said in the spoof version of it.

Or get an Android tablet.

CQ-20B, competing with the XR18, is £780. £220 more than the XR18. That's quite a price differential.

It also doesn't have a Strat neck pickup at an angle and Jazz bridge pickup.

"Like a telecaster bass but in a 34” long scale length.". Um, doesn't the Telecaster bass have a 34" scale length?
