Band that seems to have ground to a halt following various health issues - Space Monkey (covers, primarily 80s) Originals prog band - A2rk. Named after the initials of the four founder members. Covers band just working up to gigging level - Dirty Roses.

Release 1.13 came out a week ago.

No they don't (sample size of 15+ active basses and 6 wireless systems).

You could just leave the charger cable permanently connected to the pedal and plug it into the charger when it needs a charge.

There's a thread in The Other Place about a similar issue - it seems you can't get old spares from Peavey but there was quite a good idea on an alternative cover. I suspect that part of the problem with finding a replacement is that it's not really a box, it's just a cover with a fixed frame and removable lid, which is fairly unusual. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/replace-peavey-tl-five-battery-compartment.1549341/ Come to think of it, another alternative would be to get small neodynium magnets and recess them into the outer frame in those circles just outboard of the screws, and glue some thin steel (not stainless) washers to the cover.

Planet Waves embroidered straps. The only downside was playing gigs in a very hot sweaty venue on successive nights, when I didn't leave the strap out of the bass case to dry out after the first night. Putting a cold damp clammy strap on wasn't a nice experience.

Needs the head chopping off.

Still Schallers for me. Keep meaning to drop a little 3 in 1 into the locking bit and never getting round to it.

So it has its good points then.

I'm not quite sure how you signify an incredulous tone in text. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195616713872 And someone's asking £550 for just a body. That used to get you an entire bass.

Went for £550 and if it plays as well as it looks, that's money well spent.

You're all just encouraging his addiction. @ash, burn them and go cold turkey, you'll thank me for it.

If only that was a 5-string. And headless. And fretless.

Soft synth inna box? https://zynthian.org/

From their website: ITS OWN APP With a constantly expanding library of patches and effects, bassists can continue to expand their sound with the "Handy Guitar Lab for B2 FOUR" app (for iOS), available to purchase on the Apple App Store. So you can mess around with Guitar Lab on your phone if you're one of the 25% with iOS but not if you're one of the 70% with Android, just like the MS-100BT couldn't be used with Android but only with iOS. Nothing to do with audio.

Was it good for metal?

Well, it's consistent with the other $hit that he peddles. At least it's honestly titled this time.

I sit on a stool, having had assorted back issues for years, starting after a bike crash in 2001 which broke several ribs round my right scapula and caused a fair bit of soft tissue damage. More recently, my back deteriorated during lockdown as I wasn't walking enough.

It might even be DC, if there's no DC blocking capacitor in the output of the sound card or input of the amp and there's a DC offset. In that case, just a large value capacitor in line with the input would do the job.

Shame that Basslab is in Japan, I'd like to try one.

The fact that neither of them can pronounce "Warwick" is another point against.

It looks interesting, though I don't understand why Zoom continue to ignore 70% of the market by only catering for Apple, as they did with the MS-100BT.

I like the Zoom B3n, but haven't tried the B1x or B6 (and I've got enough multiFX at the moment). If you're not bothered about ease of switching effects, the Zoom MS-60B is a single stompbox that can have a chain of effects - easy programming through a PC, fairly easy programming on the unit itself.

Not the wooden one, but I've got an AT800 Cube combo, and I like it for the weight and the sound. Good clarity and I think it's pretty flat response.
