OTOH, I've just bought a bass from a bricks and mortar auction house. Seller's premium about 25%, buyer's premium about 25%. So if I bid £800 for a bass, there's £200 buyer's premium added so I pay £1k, and £200 seller's premium taken off the £800, leaving £600 for the seller. That's a rather bigger gap than the gap between £600 and £618.75 or £800 and £822.75.

Then you're happy, and many many other people are also happy. Everybody's happy. I don't know what you've complaining about.

No, shoving a plectrum into the scratchplate like that is bound to stress it around the neck end screw and may break it.

The controlling device needs to be a host device. DIY one: The M-Vave Chocolate Plus can be used - connect the MS-60B+ to "Host" and a USB power supply to "USB" (if you don't, it won't work - the USB power supply will power the pedal though). Set to Program Change A, the four buttons select patch 1, 2, 3, and 4, if buttons 1 & 2 are pressed simultaneously it will advance the base patch by 4 so button 1 will then select patch 5, pressing 1 & 2 again will advance it by another 4. Pressing 3 & 4 decreases the patch base by 4. There's a setting "Max Group Count" that you can alter to be the point at which increasing the base patch sends it back to 1. The number shown in the display is the patch number minus 1 because that's how MIDI works.

While not being in possession of any statistics on the subject, I would say that the commonest impedance for a cab is 8Ω, hence catering for 4Ω is important. I don't know what the additional cost of designing and building class D modules to cater for 2Ω would be but presumably it's not going to be zero, and may require uprated components or even be completely impractical.

OP hasn't been back since day 1, so everyone is just screaming into the void.

My recently acquired Greg Barcus Custom 6-string.

Much, much nicer.

As ferro is iron, is it good for metal?

Load it into Irfanview, shrink it using Resize to a reasonable size for viewing, then save as a new file.

For both the MS-60B and the later MS-60B+ (actually in my case the MS-70CDR+) I built a little pedal that allows me to scroll up and down through patches. It's not the cleanest bit of construction but it works. Needs a 9V supply the way I've done it, but with a bigger box it could have a 9V battery inside (or four rechargeable AAs, 5V will do) and an on/off switch.

It may be because the OS is Linux-based - "/" is the separator between directory levels, like "\" in Windows, so Comp/Lim/HPF would be a file called HPF in a directory Lim in a directory Comp.

Try https://guitarkitfabric.co.uk/ instead, it'll work.

The post I replied to isn't.

What Behringer haters? The X-Air series are much loved on BC.

I was quite recently recruited to be house bassist for a couple of local open mics, and then the organiser asked me to dep for their bassist for a gig. This then turned into two gigs on successive days as their bassist had had a gig in Wales (hence the first dep) but had also written his car off (hence the second one as he couldn't get back in time). After a couple of rehearsals, we went ahead - I haven't depped for a few years and then it was for bands that I'd played with before. First gig was a bikers' pub in Old Arley, near Coventry. The stage area was shared with a T140V Bonneville and a Triton (can't say more than that except it was a pre-unit Bonnie engine). Used the Sei Flamboyant 5 through my trusty Zoom MS-60B to the Tecamp Puma 900 and GR Bass AT212 cab. Footwear was the usual Caravelle memory foam trainers (a bit past their best now, but I have a couple of new pairs waiting). I noticed partway through the first set that the Sei was choking out on notes below the fifth fret, so took the opportunity between two songs to grab an allen key and quickly adjust the truss rod. Quarter turn looser and everything was fine - saved me swapping to the Cort Space 5 I had as a backup. Didn't make too many mistakes, just buggered up Gangsters in the guitar solo. The second gig was a Fathers' Day barbecue at the pub where one of the open mics is held (and that was thoroughly slagged off by one BC member a little while back). Same equipment and footwear, same buggering up of Gangsters. Evidence of dancing being perpetrated:

Another one who hasn't died?

What are you using for control? Windows PC, Mac, iPad, Android tablet?

Our drummer was ill so she couldn't make it, but the keyboard/singer and I went ahead. Went over most of the existing songs and I realised I should have done more practicing while we've not been rehearsing, and also did a couple of run-throughs of two new songs, one of which he'd written years ago and the other that he'd just written. Both went pretty well, which was nice.

Finally got round to plugging it in. Total silence. Twiddle the knobs, nothing, then I remember about the mute switch on my John East equipped Sei Jazz and switched the bottom switch - sound! The other two switches are parallel-series-single coil switches for the two pickups. Knobs are volume, blend, stacked treble/bass, stacked mid-sweep and boost/cut, and a pull for passive control that is also the passive treble cut control. A real variety of sounds available, and I may even be tempted to use the passive option on occasion. Despite the close pickup spacing, there's a fair difference between the tones on each of them (rather like the Warwick Thumb 5 with its two closely spaced J pickups). The treble and bass controls give a very powerful boost and cut but it's nicely progressive rather than all or nothing.

A Double Six was just sold at the Gardiner Holgate auction. £550 plus 25% or so fees. https://auctions.gardinerhoulgate.co.uk/catalogue/lot/af9fe3e054d9552ea0fd7eb82ba5736b/63b778f7668dabe928d3800924a99077/the-guitar-sale-five-day-auction-including-the-gord-lot-187/ Fixed bridge though.

I meant to also say that I intended to drop into the Birmingham PMT at some point - they moved to just inside the CAZ from just outside it, so as we didn't have a ULEZ compliant car I didn't, and after we finally got a compliant one I never got round to going there. They did have the occasional slightly interesting instrument in there, and in fact I bought my Crafter acoustic guitar from there.
