  1. I think by default there are depressions in the wood in a couple of places, maybe they happen at the factory, not really an issue, although nothing that is above the paint. Mine was bump free when I got it.. for a few days, when I dropped a large metal hard drive on it and put a dent in 😢 - to be fair, I think it helped as I have never been precious about it since! The Mid frequency boost / cut has a detent, but the frequency itself doesn't - Its handy for me, as I have a shuker which has the same stacked bass / treble - mid / gain control but the knobs are in a different order - I always spin the control before I start to remind myself which is which - if it has a detent it is bas / treble!
  2. The shavo head has been around for years, I have played through it (sounded good), still quite tempting if I was any good at painting front panels! Yeh, clearly, its a december 2019 bass, and they have been out of stock a couple of times in that time. However, if it is a showroom bass, you think they would notice the lack of back panel. The dents maybe they could get away with - the body is really soft and does dent easily. They are terrible days to order, it is just after pay day so noone is concentrating!
  3. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom
  4. I am in that minority too. It gives variety in that I can also use the flat part of my finger if I want soft.
  5. I assume they are made the same as before behringer owned them, but even then, I have no problem with behringer kit, I have run the X18 for years (and now the XTouch) and it is fantastic stuff (wifi excluding), as well as other bits and pieces by them, like the P2 and a couple of their synths.
  6. That is a bit odd as noone lives there - why would anyone complain about the noise? When I was young there was a rock night there, which always struck me as a bit dangerous having a lot of drunk people on a pier.
  7. Just because I am curious - I am from Portsmouth (but now in the west country) and have never heard the term 'Portsmouth pier' before (as it has 3 and they are all in southsea), was this at South Parade pier? Interesting if they are doing more there now.
  8. Well, todays were interesting. We had a 1 hour gig 20 miles out of town from 2:30 to 3:30 and another 3 hour gig 20 miles out of town the other way from 5 to 8 today! First was a liitle pub that we had played at recently, they were doing a festival thing and got us on first (they wanted us later, but we were already booked). It was going to be tight going between them to break down the PA and get to the other one, whcih had a PA, but got there and it turned out the last band had a big PA and decided to set it up straight away, so did the sound for everyone else - so my PA had a free trip around the area today. The first gig started with a wedding proposal, which was good, (we had a yes and no song lined up to start - we got to use the yes song!), but all went down well, then a mad dash to the other one. Also in a field but with a stage built, and a big PA, but so hot, was really flagging by half time. luckily after a break, got a bit of second wind, so the second half was good, and by then at least there were a lot of dancers and people were joining in. Not a bad day as I am home by 9!
  9. Well, that is why they said they had that name on their website about info!
  10. Yeh, that is far too much. It can be a problem when you want to sell something and you base it on what you paid for it originally, but that is irrelevant to what someone else can get one from now. Plenty around under that price. You can even get them from reverb for £100 less then that, and if something is cheaper on reverb you know you are asking too much.
  11. And when I used IEMs, I got tinitus, but I got better when I stoped using them and went back to sticking my head in the drum kit
  12. Yeh, the last thing a guitarist wants is to hear what is playing to the back of their knees like everyone else has to
  13. Always the best choice with a new group - if you wait until you are perfect, who knows when you would agree to that.
  14. Thats what I thought when I got it!
  15. Press the little 3 way knob and hold it for far too long - if you press it for a bit it just flashes blue, but if you hold it longer it starts flashing much faster, then it will appear in the bluetooth control panel on the iPhone.
  16. I got my B-Stock but new from PMT for £375
  17. Which is of course a rip of of a grolsch!
  18. Round these parts, there is just pubs, village halls and community centres, so originals or covers, you have a PA or you are very quiet!
  19. Poor quality rip of of a Basschat one!
  20. the drummer uses my powerplay p2 (as he isn't moving) and I have an XVive iem - all works well for us.
  21. Yeh, didnt' work out so well so everyone agreed to forget about it. It should be - in my group it is mine, and I am not sure why, but it is at the moment. However, I wouldn't be interested in a 'share' of a PA, that doesn't seem like it would work out well.
  22. Mine looked exactly like that, I sent it back and got it repaired for a reasonable fee. However, since the pandemic I seem to have lost the transmitter!
  23. Indeed - but I wasn't being sarcastic, I genuinely meant the boxes looked nice - I like the engraving on the side, that is a nice touch.
