I like this idea Dood... I was thinking if we had a printable template maybe A5 size with instructions to for example tuck it under the strings, it would make it hard to 'fake' (insert into a picture of someone else's bass) and tricky to remove (if stealing pics from here). Something like this maybe?

Not sure I understand, I thought you were making one? Anyway here's one I posted in the 'announcement' which says about placing it somewhere it can't be cropped out, etc. Either way, I think a venn diagram of photoshop experts and online bass scammers will have very little overlap, and anything we can do to make it less convenient, the better.

Make a convincing fake one, I'll wait

I got the ‘congratulations for buying one’ email but no actual order receipt. But at least they have no order I suppose. I’ll message them in a few weeks if I don’t hear back.

I must admit I like new strings when I buy a used bass. Using someone else’s seems a bit gross, but then again, flats are smooth enough that they can be cleaned at least on the surface, to an extent. Personally though I’d start a new set.

You should call it the Nutrom

Hi guys I posted a new 'announcement' in the basses for sale forum today to urge people to include a note in their sales pics with their username. Please try to add this in your new and existing listings, even if you're a trusted member (as nearly everyone on here is) just to normalise the practice for anyone who has just joined. It's just another way to ensure listings can be verified as genuine and it will prevent people using cloned pictures from other sites. Cheers ped

It’s this sort of thing I was wondering about. How does that work? Will splitting my signal (which isn’t buffered) be an issue too? I mean I can just use them totally separately because I think they’ll be pretty different - I don’t think I’ll be splitting hairs

Hi guys Perhaps a stupid question but if I want to A/B compare two different amplifiers (each with it's own cabinet) do I just use an A/B pedal to switch between the two? I'm not likely to have a massive pop when I disengage one? Does the A/B pedal need to be a powered one to avoid that, or anything? I'm probably overthinking this...

I have an OC10 as well, and think it's pretty much exactly the same as my OC2. Cool little thing.

I plan on giving it a proper go on Monday at the studio. I have my Blackstar U500/250ACT (2x10 and 1x15) and an Ampeg PF50T with 2x10 to compare it with. That and fond memories of tube amps I’ve had in the past (Trace V4, SVT, Mesa 400+) I was really happy with the Blackstar at our last rehearsal so John very kindly let me borrow this for a comparison as maybe I’ve forgotten what it’s like having those tube watts. It sounded massive when I gave it a quick whirl at his house and it’s so portable.

You want to put it in a massive box

Great! I didn’t use them on the Mutron but band pass useful on the Meatball when you have a blend knob. However if all the things to leave out, that would be top of my list.

I’ve just caught up with the thread because I’m borrowing @johnbiffa’s YI200 (with matching neo 4x10). Good to see you on here @Stoneham I’m looking forward to testing the amp. Cool that it fits under my desk, too!

Brilliant, what a find! I have found the https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php really helpful, some of the knowledgeable folk on there will be able to help I'm sure.

Sorta

I've emailed them but don't expect a reply for a while, no doubt that 8 week window is partly for them to work out who's actually bought one!

I ordered one but after the payment page I got a session expired error. The money has left my account but there’s no confirmation email. Hm.

I thought it would be easy to find a Tbird

I’ve posted a wanted ad for any broken headstocks because now I’ve thought about it, I want a collection!!

I bought a 70s Fender J headstock (came with tuners) to hang on my wall 😆

I mean it can be tonewood but just have bad toan

It does look nice and I want to try one - it’s a shame there’s no range control though.

Excellent! It’s in the diary. Keen to support/help where/when possible. Just let me know @Goliath_FX 👍🏼👍🏼
