  1. I have exactly the same ones. They're excellent.
  2. Could you try powering it with a power supply rather than a battery?
  3. Do the <50% of us who read the OP and not just the title get a special prize?
  4. Couldn't you just save the item on the browser page and then look at saved items in the app? I refuse to use the app so can't check this myself.
  5. Sounds like the combined wire was the ground side and the white wire was the hot, which seems reasonable as I'd expect a naked wire to be ground.
  6. As well as that, both terminals of the jack socket are connected to the same point. I can't see a more guaranteed way of producing completely zero output from the pickup than connecting absolutely everything to ground.
  7. Nilo can also supply you with unicorns if you happen to be in need. As well as open mics and music shops, rehearsal studios generally have a noticeboard with personnel wanted ads on it. Bandmix and JMB are both horrible to use. Bandmix is a good concept spoilt by the morons that simply tick every box for musicians wanted, so 90% of the bass player wanteds are also accordion wanted, triangle wanted, percussionist wanted. JMB's search facility is about as good as Amazon's and AliExpress's. That's not to say you can't find bands that way (I have), but it's a very time-consuming and frustrating quest.
  8. We (doing about 20 gigs a year) haven't got a fixed target but we're probably bringing in about one number a month - we had a rather static period of three or four months due to not getting the chance to rehearse but we've got two for Friday's gig that will get their first run out. We had about three gigs where we didn't change the set at all, but we do generally examine it and revise it after each gig. The previous band had certain set numbers for the start and end of sets but everything else was subject to change. The club band I played with for a few years had a static set list for all those years. We'd sometimes skip a number but the order was never revised and the songs were never updated. And the guitarist, who also did singing duty when we worked as a three piece, had a book of all the songs which went onto the music stand in front of him.
  9. Of late, the success rate of Royal Mail 48 untracked parcels for me has been 25% within 48 hours, 75% within two weeks, 25% total disappearance.
  10. No marks on the 5-strings I've used since 2007 but the JD Thumb that was my main bass for 20 years before that has a little mark on the body at the top of the neck pickup, I think from my thumbnail as I anchored my hand there.
  11. I should have been clearer and said output from the speaker.
  12. Do you get any output if you put a signal into the AUX socket?
  13. I never really got on with TE, couldn't get a sound I liked. Before I'd finally come to that conclusion, I bought a 4x10 combo. My first gig with it was up two flights of stairs. I didn't keep it much longer.
  14. If your local Evri driver is a good one then the only issue is that once a parcel disappears into Evri's maw, it could take anything between a week and a fortnight for it to reappear. I happen to be on a FB group for a Cornish village I go to annually, and their Evri driver posted to the group saying he'd had to have a little time off due to a personal situation and that he was aware of some complaints about the replacement driver, and if people had any issues with deliveries then contact him and he'd contact his boss to get the issue resolved. So some of them go above and beyond.
  15. Do you have any high current draw effects, or any reverse polarity ones, or any that take other than 9V? If they're all fairly low current (maybe around 100mA) and 9V and negative centre, it's worth trying a simple 9V supply and daisy chain. Some pedals don't get on with a shared supply (eg the Zoom B3) and for these you need a power supply with isolated outputs.
  16. On the odd occasions when I use a similar system, I use what is apparently the Roman numeral analysis (no, I didn't know that until five minutes ago), with upper-case numerals signifying major and lower-case minor (which avoids the confusion of Im also meaning 999, admittedly unlikely to cause a problem, but it means one fewer letter for a minor). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numeral_analysis
  17. Was that the same concept as getting your retaliation in first?
  18. Keep plugging on. My most recent band but one came about through knowing someone at an open mic night, so that might help you.
  19. The round-shouldered momentary switches I've used on a couple of projects are 8.75mm, the square-shouldered momentary switch on my Zoom MS-50B is 11mm, other momentary and latching 3PDT switches are 10mm. Just tried the Aliexpress one I pointed to on a round-shouldered switch and although it's a bit loose it goes on and the grub screws fix it in place. There's only two grub screws provided for these ones, putting a third in would help and make sure the cap was centred.
  20. Sounds like the annoyances I had with the Katana Go. Once sorted, it's been fine.
  21. What's the difference? These fit the momentary switches on my HX Stomp, Cuvave Chocolate, and MOD Dwarf, as well as assorted 3PDT switches.
  22. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003891879421.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32922154150.html
  23. I live down a cul-de-sac with no passing traffic - deliveries often get left somewhere relatively safe, which I don't mind. I may be swimming against the tide, but Evri have been reliable since their rebrand from Herpes, although once things disappear into the maw of Evri it takes some time for them to be regurgitated. The unreliable one has been Royal Mail - their untracked 48 hour service has failed to deliver in a fortnight three times now. I'm currently chasing the third one, the first and second I got a refund and a redelivery for, and in both cases the original items turned up a further week later.
