  1. Yes, the no built in tuner drives me mental!! It's got everything else in the world on it. .... And no tuner. Crazy decision. It'd be the perfect all in one solution if it did.
  2. I've been in a few good tributes, and left for various reasons. For me, it's about one thing - it's not the looks, not the sound, not the stage antics - but it's about the "experience". That's what makes a good tribute. A great night out. A good resemblance to instruments, costumes, sound, looks all help sell that experience. I also fully believe you need to have a bit of yourself in their too to make it appear authentic.
  3. x2 Chauvet LFS75 dmx gobo projectors. (listing is for both for £200). Amazing lights, simply add a gobo of your choice (have your bands name/image etc made) and point and focus and you're all done within 5 seconds. Much easier than backdrops and banners. Lightweight as the use a 70w led. (do not confuse with 70w worth of leds. This is a massive led, very very bright). Also has colour wheel, dmx or standalone control and more. These were around £450 each when new, so quite a bargain. Pick up Leyland Lancashire or could look at posting around 20-30 pounds.
  4. I've often thought of this. In my experience everyone would do this.... 1. Buy one high end bass. Love it. 1.5 start lusting after 15 Harley Bentons. 2. Sell high end bass. Buy 15 Harley Bentons. Love them. 2.5 start lusting over one high end bass. 3. Sell Harley Bentons and buy one high end bass. ~~~~~~~~ 99. Sell Harley bentons and buy high end bass. 99.5 start lusting after one high end bass. ~~~~~~ I love my Harley bentons. I love how it's almost impossible to lose money on them. I love that you don't have to look after them that much or worry about them at a gig. I love how you can try all different variations of bass guitar without breaking the bank. They also sound great, look great and play great. Nothing stops my lusting after a high end bass again though.....
  5. Cool bass this one. Harley Benton Bass Guitar MB4 Stealth Black. The matte black is very cool, works very well. Matching headstock and dark neck too! Sounds great, nice and rich. I've shielded the cavities so there's no noise too. I played this in our Oasis tribute last week - sounded great. Nice and rich. These are passive, so no electronics or batteries to worry about. Yes - a passive stingray! In really good condition, just the usual buckle rash on the back. Pick up Leyland Lancashire
  6. I've a few of these. I absolutely love them. I gig them in our function and tribute bands as my main basses.
  7. This is a lovely colour, more deep reddish than the recent dark brown ones.
  8. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm suddenly unable to upload photos?
  9. I love these basses and have a few of them. They're great quality, look great, easy to play, 24 fret too! The sounds are really really good. And I mean that. 5 way toggle switch and active hi mid lo control. This is in good condition and at £100 is unbelievable value. I took the scratch plate of this one and it looks lovely. Pick up Leyland Lancashire
  10. The year Sam ryder came second was brilliant. And I mean that in the way everyone knew Ukraine would win so they all voted for the UK so we would have to host the next ridiculously expensive event without the glory of winning. It was a Europe wide stroke of comedy genius Year after, back to nil points. Which made it even funnier!
  11. Itd be a massive deep dive - all the fx would take a full video each to review. Honestly, they're that good! And there's loads and loads of them! Ive had the 210 a few months and haven't even delved into 5% of it yet!
  12. It's an odd bass. On one hand I've really grown to like them. And the looks. It's also great they've done a sub version. However, when you look at it objectively there's no control for tone or anything, so if the pick up isn't great you're stuck with it. Bonus if it's good though. Although, you're paying for less options and flexibility than a standard sub. As I say, it's weird. And cool.
  13. There are even fx modules in the amp purely for the eq should you want that. So you can boost and cut any frequency.
  14. Boss Katana 210 combo has everything anyone needs. Minimal upkeep, everything in one box, relatively light (21kg) and all the fx and sounds under the sun. And you can get them for around £450.
  15. Yes, it's brilliant, you can create sub folders and different files etc and make hundreds of different patches, all retrievable at the click of a button.
  16. On my combo you can set up a library where you can save and upload or download any sounds or settings you make onto your PC. It's fantastic for multiple bands etc. Just load up for that gig before you set off and all your sounds and settings are there without needing to take any pedals or laptops or anything.
  17. Pretty sure the police had an early policy not to have any guitar solos in their songs.
  18. I knew it wouldn't be long before you got back into it Part of the fun is buying, selling, trying and changing rigs and basses. I had an ebs 360hd - amazing amp. Never got chance to gig it, but everything about it was lovely in practice. I'm still a big believer in parametric / semi parametric dials on Amps.
  19. That's AB though, not class d. To be fair, they're proper loud. I havent had mine past half way in 2 loud bands at both practice and gigging. But yes, from a marketing point of view I found that a weird decision too.
  20. According to some websites that have it for sale its 500w peak, so 250w RMS into 4ohm. 125w RMS into 8ohm. Might be worth someone checking as it does seem a bit mad to release a way underpowered class d head?
  21. I'm still a bit confused about this head. In principal it's an astounding head. Everything you could want (apart from a tuner - doh!), but I can't for the life of me understand a 180-250w class d head, and I can't understand less features than the combo. And more so why it's double the price? Couldn't you just buy a combo and take the head out of that? More features, class ab power and half the price?
