Have just arrived - that was quick. Externally identical to the Lekato WS-90, just charging them up now. Will report further in a bit.

Or Focus.

Arrived an hour ago, so just four days from order to delivery. It's a bit short on power to do Wembley stadium, but should add a bit of je ne sais quoi to the average pub gig. Definitely worth a tenner.

Both seem perfectly rational to me.

I did that on Saturday (as ususal). The landlord gave me a free pint.

And there's a thread specially for that too, isn't there?

I thought I'd get a better photo of the rig at last night's gig as it was a bit less cramped. Lekato wireless dongles are visible on top of the amp and the cab.

Last night was at the pub closest to my house - the Gamecock in Birchmoor, about a ten minute walk over the M42 footbridge (but about a five minute drive as you have to go the long way round). We got a whole room with a goodly amount of space but not a very big audience - scraped into double figures. However, they were very very enthusiastic and the landlord wants us back, and a farmer who was there said he'd like to get us in to play in his barn.

Yes. Drums weren't bad, our drummer is quite restrained. And our front man is guitar and vocals - originally we were supposed to be a five-piece with him just doing vocals, but the other other guitarist was crap and never learnt any songs so we had to get rid of him and Dean went back to playing guitar too. Just as well, we'd never have fitted five of us in there.

Barcus basses. Greg Barcus has built a few, don't know if he's packed it in as there hasn't been any activity on his Facebook page since 2019.

You never said you were Roger Waters.

You're determined to see the positive side of the accidental Sei.

Ashdown do. I've only encountered one bass (an Ibanez, don't know the model) where the active input with its attenuation was the one to use - all of my active basses have outputs on a par with passive basses.

In case a certain customiser should decide to add two more tuners at jaunty angles, add two bridge saddles, and ram a couple of Strat pickups into the pickup routs.

First time at the Crown in Rugeley last night. Car parking was rather random, there's a sort of car park at the back but it doesn't have any markings (or, indeed, tarmac) so cars just get dumped there in a haphazard way. The space was distinctly petite and bijou, so when the second guitarist arrived fashionably late there was nowhere for his cab so he went through the PA. TBH I'd prefer it if both guitars went through the PA but the singer/guitarist wants to use his cab. While we were setting up, before guitar 2 got there, one lad started chatting to the singer/guitarist - he'd got various guitars so they were comparing notes. A bit later, after I'd rigged the PA, a rather more elderly bassist came over to chat to me. Which was nice. Took until about halfway through the first set for more than very faint ripples of polite applause but once things started going, we got a much more positive reaction.

My perpetual rig of choice - Tecamp Puma 900, GR Bass AT212, and as I also do the PA, Behringer XR18 with a cheeky peek of the Zoom MS-60B+ on top of it, with external router and BCF2000 and Nokia T20 tablet for handy control.

After listening to this on both a laptop and a desktop running through a hifi system, the bass gets a bit obscured by the backing track - it's where it would be in a normal mix but that's a bit far back when the point of the video is to showcase the pickups. Still, liked and subscribed because you're worth it.

Can you effectively import your settings from XR Edit into Mixing Station by loading a snapshot into the XR18 from XR Edit and then opening Mixing Station? Will it pick up the current settings in the XR18? Just wondering as it would save hours of mucking around transferring settings.

Nice to see that you've been successful on two fronts.

There's more than one model on that page - the default one is £7 but looks like it's just an LED light with facets, the lasery one is £17. I've just gone mad and splashed out very nearly a tenner on https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007714100673.html

Damn you, Peter Noone!

I had a fretless through-neck 5 which was a nice bass. Sold it when the number of basses started getting rather high (I've bought more since then though).

Yes. Once upon a time I wanted a Precision. Then, after getting one and playing it for a while, I happened across Warwick, and everything changed. I've had another shift since then, to 5 strings. Just deciding whether to go back to gigging fretless. Favourite basses now are Seis and Antoniotsais.

Anyroadup, could it be to do with the number of times one has Won The Day?
