    Cheers guys, I'd love to visit and maybe take in Bass Direct as well, but between work and childcare I just can't free up the time at the moment I'll give the shop a call, I've only ever heard good things about them, so hopefully we can sort something out

    Hi all, quick one - post Brexit, are distance selling regulations still a thing? There's a bass I want to buy at Bass Bros, but I can't get over there to try it out and while I'm very confident I'll like it, >£2k is more than I've ever spent on an instrument so am a little nervous about it Can I still return within 14 days (at my cost) if I don't gel with it? It's pre-owned too, so not sure if that makes a difference Thanks all, it's been *ages* since I've bought a new bass

    As I live just north of Eastbourne, they're my local music shop Nice people, not a huge range of bass gear, but I did buy some (Ernie Ball) strings from them recently

    I'm very happy with the Ampeg SGT-DI pedal I got recently - I almost only play at home now, so having the sound of an SVT into my headphones is great

    Currently listening to the REM best of compilation My tastes generally veer to the extreme end of metal, but I had an urge to listend to this earlier in the week and I really enjoyed it, had it on a couple of times since. The songwriting and arrangements are superb

    Julie Christmas next week Really looking forward to is as she was astonishing at last year's Damnation Festival and her new record is my album of the year so far

    FULLY WORKING BUT PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION Behringer V-amp amp/effect modeler - obvious Line 6 Pod copy I used it as my practice set-up as it's an amp modeler, with a headphone output, aux-in and built in tuner - Everything you need to practice without disturbing anyone else at home Are the amp models brilliant? No, but they're perfectly decent - Ampeg, Gallien-Kruger, Eden and SWR amps all there, plus compression and some modulation effects Now, the important information - there must be part of the chassis broken off inside, as something is rattling around, but it works perfectly so can't be anything important More importantly, whilst the power supply again, works fine, it would not pass a PAT test - the plastic enclosure is broken and comes apart, and some of the outer wire sleeving has come away - see photos If your sensible about this, it's not an issue - I just kicked the PSU transformer under a chair to keep it away from kids/pets and have never had a problem. Unfortunately, Behringer decided to use some weird midi style, proprietary connector for the power supply, so I can't replace it Price includes shipping in the UK, would also trade for a five string set of Ernie Ball Regular or Power Slinky strings

    Lingua Ignota is astonishing, Caligula as a piece of art is jaw dropping I never got to see Kristin play the Lingua material live before she retired it, but as she was essentially re-living abuse trauma every time she performed it, it's probably for the best she's not doing it anymore

    No, it's now a Smith & Western - an American Cowboy themed chain restaurant The Blue Anchor was there for a long time though, but closed up maybe 20 years ago

    I'd assume it's the red Stingray he had, but I don't actually know

    @MichaelDean I think my top three post-rock picks would be We Lost The Sea - Challenger This Will Destroy You - A Three Legged Workhorse Mono - Ashes In The Snow

    Mathcore The Dillinger Escape Plan - 43% Burnt Botch - Transitions From Persona To Object Converge - Concubine

    Auditioning a guitarist for an original death metal band, guy turns up - seems friendly, have decent gear and plenty of confidence. I realise we're about to waste the entire session when his opening gambit is "what tuning do you guys play in?" His face fell, but not as much as his strings, when I said "drop B" and he had to slacken them right off. Not really knowing what to do as the guy had clearly not learned any of these fairly technical songs, we ran through a couple and said join in when you can, so he strummed along with his valve amp on standby........

    Price dropped to £120 EBS pre-amp/DI box for sale/trade, I bought it to have a go at IEM, but in-ears never really worked out for that band. Get the EBS tone from your pedalboard - 2 channels, drive with valve sim, EBS EQ, FX loop and cab sim on the DI Price includes shipping in GB

    You're a scholar and a gent, hope you have a great time in the band. Hopefully I'll be able to pop along to the odd local show and say hi 😀
  17. Graham
    Glad you had a good show, are you taking over full time now?

    I've left my band now, been thinking about it for the past year and decided to knock it on the head for now. With three challenging, neurodiverse children, now is not the right time to be in a band and I'm less reliant on the money than I once was. Got one more gig booked to end things properly - a private party at a big house we've played a few times - and then done. Hopefully I'll look at getting back into it in 2026-ish, when the youngest will be 9, but for now it'll be home playing and maybe some composition.

    All my cables are Cleartone, been using them for years so this is a shame, but glad the owner is able to retire on his own terms.

    The thing about Metallica in the 21st century is that they keep releasing albums that should have been EPs If the last four albums had been cut back to about 20 minutes, they'd have been fantastic. Well, so long as they didn't ruin them when mixing/mastering them
  21. Graham
    Jeff Caxide (ISIS) Flea Bernie Edwards Caleb Scofield (Cave In/Old Man Gloom/Zozobra) Liam Wilson (The Dillinger Escape Plan/Azusa) Mike Flores (Origin) And these guys, not to knock their bass playing, because it's very good, but I like them more as song writers Shane Embury (Napalm Death) Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse)

    Without seeing the map, I thought it's got to be Finland 😁 The only downside about Finland is that if you find a black metal band from there, it's best to assume they're Nazis first and then be pleasantly surprised, rather than hope for the best and then be inevitably disappointed later.

    I would love to hear Opeth songs in the style of ABBA 😁
  24. Graham
    I've heard nothing but good stuff about Lankum, must check them out
  25. Graham
    Now that depends which side of the Medway you're from 😁 And bravo, I do love a dangling modifier joke
