    I’m even more tempted now. Typical - just after I’d decided to get the Wavestate! In reality, I know I’ll end up with them both so the only real debate is “which first”. I need to go try an Argon for myself….
  2. Skinnyman
    Nice. I’ve been looking at these and the Korg Wavestate (two different animals I know). How are you finding the Argon?

    I thought it was proper to do the introduction to the band at the start of the set, a la…..
  4. Skinnyman
    Not so much pub gigs but with “name” bands in theatres and the like, I’ve always taken it that while the house lights are down and there’s no music being played over the house PA, the band are going to come back on as soon as they’ve had a drink/done a line/yelled at each other*. Once the house lights go on and somebody starts playing Tina Turner or some other wildly inappropriate track from a Now That’s What I Call Music compilation then it’s over. *or whatever it is that they do
  5. Skinnyman
    Dangerous ground there. By that standard we’d never do the second set….

    Can’t help thinking that there are more important things to take a stand against. Do them, don’t do them. Does it matter?
  7. Skinnyman
    Great idea for a thread but I’m confused. Why buy chrome tuners and colour them black with a felt pen? Is it cheaper than buying black ones to start with?

    @Moldsight just bought a Nikon lens from me. Prompt payment, prompt responses to PMs; all in all a simple, easy and straightforward transaction, just the way they should be. Deal with confidence folks!

    Hi Rob, PM replied to - and yes, I used to gig with DS* (although never with this amp as I was still using the Genz Benz at the time). BTW, the cabs are now both sold so I’ve taken that option off the advert. *For the avoidance of doubt, this refers to Dakota Smile, a popular beat combo based in the Hertfordshire area and not, as some have supposed and despite all available evidence to the contrary, the well-known Geordie-centric rock outfit, Dire Straits.
  10. Skinnyman
    Both now sold!

    Sam just bought my Barefaced One10. He only joined the site recently and this was his first transaction. I’m pleased to report that it was all easy and straightforward. Sam is an absolute gent and a pleasure to do business with. I have no hesitation in recommending him; deal with confidence, ladies and gents!

    Jack bought my Barefaced 110 cabinet. A lovely chap to deal with and a hassle-free transaction, just as they should be! Thanks for the deal, Jack, enjoy the littl’un!

    I tend to use wax or, if that’s not around, a slathering of lard from the bottom of the roast tin on a Sunday will do the trick. Plus, your fingers smell of beef after a gig.

    A lovely amp but I sold one of those to get the GK so I’m afraid it’s a “no”. 😀
  15. Skinnyman
    I’m not really looking for anything at the moment but I’m open to ideas. Whatcha got? 😁
  16. Skinnyman
    That’s a good thought. If you can get a decent “base” sound with a synth pedal then phaser and wah would give you a filter sweep and add some motion to it. It won’t be exact but you might get close enough for a pub gig without having to spend loads
  17. Skinnyman
    I don't think you'll get that synth intro using a pedal as it sounds like they're modifying stuff like LFO rates, pitch and resonance as the note's being played. You might be able to get one of the software synths in Garageband or similar to do the job but I'd be surprised if a pedal allowed that much on-the-fly manipulation, sorry. Having said that, there's a few synth pedal threads in the Gear section and I believe @Al Krow is a regular contributor so he may have a better idea than I have - or at least know of someone 😀

    I just sold a Mono dual gig bag to Drew and, like everyone else, found him a pleasure to deal with. A nice, easy transaction, just the way they should be! Thanks Drew, enjoy the case, I hope you get years of good service from it!
  19. Skinnyman
    One of these now sold but the other is still available at £300.

    Sold. Now £550. I bought this in March last year as a replacement for an Aguilar TH350 which had replaced a Genz Magellan 800 which was itself a replacement of a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2… After much searching the GK was, I decided, “the one”. Just enough power to work with a pair of BF One10s, not that much that it wouldn’t work with just one of them and able to do 2 ohms if I needed to add a third. I liked the sound straight out the box with everything on 12 o’clock and loved that it could go dirty like the Tone Hammer or clean like the Genz. So why sell? Easy. I’m no longer gigging (on bass anyway) and this is far too good to be a practice amp. Plus I need the space. And the cash. 😀 It seems that Polar (the UK distributors) are the only people to have these in the UK at the moment and they’re over £800. Mine is in as-new condition, hasn’t seen any use apart from a few rehearsals and comes with the original box, manuals and foot switch. You’re welcome to drop in and try before you buy or I can meet within a reasonable distance. I’m also heading to that there London in early June so that may give more options for a meet. I’m also happy to pack and ship to established BC members within the UK - PM me with a rough location and I’ll get a quote. More pics to follow but here’s a taster from the NAD thread I started; Er, please note: Barefaced cab not included

    The clear out continues and here we have a Mono M80 Dual Gig Bag in excellent condition. It’s hardly been used - I took it to a few gigs and then stopped taking a spare bass and so it’s just been sat on the shelf with a couple of basses stored in it. Collection is an option or a meet within a reasonable distance. I’m also scheduled to visit that London in early June so that may provide some better opportunities for a meet. Or I can wrap it in heavy duty plastic and courier within the UK. If you PM me with a rough location I’ll get a quote. Font: Rear: Compartment A. Or is it B?: And Compartment B. Or A. The other one, anyway:
  24. Skinnyman
    Still available 😁

    No, I’d be happy with a module - but I don’t mind taking a keyboard if I have to. Interesting. I’ll take another look at the Roland Boutique series and some of the Behringer modules. If they have the sort of sounds that I want built in then they’re a no-brainer. Thanks, BTW, for all the suggestions and apologies for derailing the thread somewhat
