  1. This is interesting as I already have a monzo account which I use mostly to transfer money to my kids (and sometimes get it paid back as promised). I will look into the link thing you have described - it sounds like it might be a preferable solution for getting paid.

  3. I listed some gear on Gumtree and sold my trusty Markbass LM2 today to a chap who drove quite a way to get it, however as he had turned up without any cash, he paid me by bank transfer using mobile banking. I can see the money in my account and my balance has updated, so it looks like it is safe, but is it? and is it safe to allow this payment method in future? Can a payment made using online banking with 'faster payments' still 'bounce' at a later date or can it be considered safe?

  6. Really enjoyed last night's gig. I took my Black JMJ mustang with the orange classic vibe mustang as backup. The orange one has a vintera pickup and upgraded loom. I have also lined the cavities with slug tape and perfected setup. I have been enjoying playing this bass at home all week, so I was wondering how much difference there would be between the two at volume - so I played the first set with the squier and then swapped to the JMJ. Although the squier sounded good, the JMJ sat in the mix so much better. I don't know what's so special about the seymour duncan pickup in the JMJ, but if its ever made available as a spare part I'd like to get my hands on a few for my non-JMJ mustangs. It was also the first outing of my Monte Allum modded Boss ODB-3 overdrive. Having owned a stock one previously I really noticed the improvement in having the modded version - it makes it a lot more flexible and easier to get a decent tone - less fizz more grind.
  7. If I had that I'd burn it and deny all knowledge of its existence.
  8. There will be a small current draw whenever the bass is plugged into the input, but even a cheap poundland alkaline 9v battery should last several rehearsals/gigs.
  9. I’m in love with my carpet - Queen
  10. The Empress and The Ukraine King - Can
  11. Sounds like a good excuse to buy a new bass. I'd second the suggestion to try lighter strings

  16. The firmware update procedure is something the Fender Mustang GTX amps do really well and the boss engineers could learn from. I updated my GTX100 when I first got it and yesterday I took delivery of a secondhand GTX50 for my son. It took me no time at all to get the GTX50 updated to the lastest firmware. It was effortless and a no time was I anxious of bricking it. The other thing they could learn from looking at the Fender is that the IOS app to control the Fender is a joy to use whereas the Boss one is so frustrating to use that I always use the same settings. Despite this it the Waza is still the best practice setup I've ever used.

  20. Looking at Andertons current sale items, they have their exclusive Lake Placid Blue and Danish Pete Purple Classic Vibe Bass VI at the same price I got mine at again - £399 - ie £80 off. Bargain!
  21. Not something I'd be interested in, but there's a reserve on it so it won't go for peanuts.
  22. Brand New Cardiac - The Clash
