  1. Why do that? Just give it to a charity shop.
  2. Just bought a pedal form Jon, after he replied to one of my wanted adverts. The pedal was exactly as described, and arrived well packaged. Very happy.
  3. [quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1507980544' post='3389116'] Slightly OT, but we have an ad blocker and I've noticed a recent increase in the number of sites that can detect when you're using one and won't allow access to their content unless you turn it off. My response: "Fine, I'll get the information I need somewhere else." [/quote] I've found that too, and think the same thing. Their loss.
  4. He was terrified before the performance. Richard Branson had to bribe him to perform by promising to give him his car.
  5. Why were you listening in the first place? [size=6][/size]
  6. [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1507737836' post='3387620'] No normal debit. I called to chase and he said refund would be done today. It hasn't. [/quote] It doesn't in my experience make any difference if a credit or debit card is used, the bank will still get the money back. I don't believe in credit cards, but my bank has refunded me twice now when things have gone wrong with transactions paid for with my debit card. Both times the refund has been within a week. With Natwest you do it online, just provide details of the transaction, and any emails with the company etc.

  8. I use Evidence audio, so simple that even I can put them together .
  9. You'll more mwah with round wounds, more of a double bass sound with flats. Just use whatever you like the sound of best, which in my case is compounded because I like both . My two favourite fretless players are Steve Lawson and Michael Manring. Steve uses flats, Michael uses rounds.
  10. I explained it to one person I teach my having him walk and run across the room.
  11. [quote name='dood' timestamp='1507585166' post='3386635'] Goodness me! Really? That is super kind! I’ll ping you a message! Thank you [/quote] It's no problem, they're just sat in my 'useful things that might come in handy one day drawer' .
  12. Like these? [attachment=255310:Photo on 09-10-2017 at 22.20.jpg] You're welcome to them if they're right. Message me your address.
  13. Amazon. I've got some spare too I think, you're welcome to them if I can find them. I switched the normal ones on my bass to the flush fit type.
  14. I was given a magazine from the early 80s a while back. It featured some lovely 6 string basses by a company called Manson.
  15. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1507582450' post='3386591'] [/quote] Older ones like mine are apparently quite easy to upgrade, the RAM just clips in. I'm not sure when they started to solder them in place.
  16. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1507578366' post='3386538'] But would you want to go into a brand new £2k MacBook with a soldering iron? [/quote] No
  17. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1507573930' post='3386461'] It's pretty ridiculous that you can't upgrade the RAM or SSD yourself. [/quote] You can if you know what you're doing. You can buy RAM off Amazon, there are plenty of how to videos on Youtube.
  18. Mine is a 2012 model with factory fitted 4gb of RAM, it works perfectly well running Logic Pro X. I did have a new SSD hard drive fitted after an accident at a gig in April which definitely speeded it up, that cost £200 at my local Mac repair shop, that included a service too. Apple give fantastic student discount, so just buy secondhand for now, she can always buy new if she needs to when she starts uni. I think I got 40% off my MacBook when I got it.
  19. I just bought the mini version, so this the larger version is for sale. In excellent condition, with the box and all packaging. £75 including postage.
