Could be. I'm not complaining exactly. I missed the new charge completely, and then missed the fact that my ad didn't appear,so it came as a bit of a surprise is all. This followed on the heels of a disappointment over a deleted post on the " Ooh isn't Pippas arse lovely"thread ostensibly for racist comments. So I was a little ill disposed to the BC massive. Anyway, I'm off to pay my fee, so chuckle on.

I have a few bits of B kit and the BD121 is among them. It does have a propensity to blow a resistor between the DC input and the board leaving you stuck with battery only. Still sounds great for the cash and lives in my spares bag for those just in case moments. If it only accepted phantom power it would be a killer D.I also. The DCX ultra drive is still widely favoured over DBX drive racks at twice the price for its routing and limiting capabilities and fetch good money second hand.

Yep got it. Thanks Ped.

Made a reply and the self censored it. Saves the mods the trouble after lasts nights deletion. Maybe I'm just getting a bit jaded with this whole forum, which seems to divide its attention between puerile threads about royal arses or pinos underpants and how they shape his tone. Now we have to pay for ads of any worth. Ok. Time for a rethink

I placed an ad for a double bass in the relevant section last week.Now it isn't there. Is there a Moderator who can tell me why that is? I may be a little slow on the uptake and the rules have changed but if an ad is removed, surely informing me would have been polite? Answers on a postcard to befuddled and fed up. Edit. Just seen the new ad charges. So that's cheap used items for sale to other BCers out the window as the place is now run for profit so why should anyone do cheap rates if they're paying for the ad? Nail number two.

The thing a lot of people seem to forget about Behringer, is that 20 years ago, they were the ones getting electronic kit made in China. Ok you may have ethical concerns about labour and lost jobs in your home country, and alleged design rips,but that aside, Behringer pioneered the way for almost every electronics manufacturer today. Unfortunately, they suffered from appalling quality control, and many superb products stopped working far too early. Many of those products remain useful though, with simple fixes,and outclass the competition. The bad press the company received over the initial 10 years of Chinese production ensured the low opinion of anyone who skims reviews of gear without really looking. Nowadays, in my opinion anyway, Behringer has the edge on the competition,( who have zealously followed Behringers gameplan and moved all production to the PRC) having sorted out their designs and quality control, and bought some very powerful and respected names like Klark Teknik and Midas. I sincerely believe they cant be matched for price or quality and their new range of mixing desks will wipe the condescending smirks off many a face in the next year. There are plenty of better sounding bits of kit, with matching prices and snob value but for a very large part of the working band community, the standard is plenty good enough. (Uri, if you're reading this, I need a new mixing desk)

Like.

Sold John my Ampeg power amp. Paid straight up and stayed in touch throughout. Pleasure to deal with. Thanks!

Yep,VDJ on a laptop with a few choice playlists that can be adapted for requests etc. Also a few led moving lights etc. Way I see it is we will have a much better PA than the local DJ anyhow and we are there to work. If that means manning a laptop for a couple of hours for another £100 that's fine. Looking at projectors and cams next!

Good luck with that!

Iron Brew? This is a cheat, just some stickers we had to use to cover the real logo for a filmed show.

Best read in a brummie accent I find.

Was gifted a very nice jazz scratchplate from Si for nothing. Grand chap,thanks!

Piece of sh*t. Had to be said.

One day she will cease to be. Then the musical world shall mourn.

Well, I have been trying. Hence my lack of posts..
