I know it is pronounced that way but I still pronounce it moog, to rhyme with.. umm.. moog, not mouge. Nope, that gets pronounced as Hoe Tone! Nope.. I do that as Moo er.. as in, one who moos And don't get me started on wenge..

Sadly it didn't recognise my login and there is no way to sighn up to make a new account

I had noticed it was often the way with fender, as they regarded the 5 string as a separate product rather than the same product with another string (which is odd as they build them like the same product with another string). Ibanez have also often been guilty of that, but moreso now with the EHBs and the Talmans.

I think PayPal do payment plans, they send a lot of spams about it to me! and.. *need* another bass, what kind of language is that!

Yes, thats what I meant. i did a search on what affirm was, it is a credit system that is US/Canada/Australia only, so it isn't a surprise it wouldn't be accepted here. I don't see what the issue is, if you want something and you can afford it, you get it however it is available, and with Reverb I assumed you can just pay through them, so not sure what the issue is.

For a start it doesn't seem to be available in the UK. Probably something to do with lending laws or something as it is a credit broker.

first time I have ever heard of affirm - can't you just use reverb payments?

Ooh, a "sales portal", do you happen to have one kicking around?

There is no 'widget', its down to the programming of the site.

That is kind of what I want to do when I have got the time to do it, but honestly, you would be surprised how hard it is to get people to fill in a set of compulsory fields! The best deal I got on ebay was a guitar that was listed in "Business, Office & Industrial > Test, Measurement & Inspection". And they spelled the make and Guitar wrong.

Sorry, missed this earlier, is it working yet? Seems fine here on all my devices

Generally when I had a Cazpar, I just used newtone strings, especially as it is hard to get 5 string short scale strings. But mine was used so not stock, so i don't know what the originals are.

That is always an issue, although I would say that a cable long enough to be noticably affected by signal loss / capacitance would be very short. Which is fine if you don't mind that loss. My experience is entirely the opposite to that. And I am not talking EQ, as I rarely do anything other than flat EQ.

That is lovely!

around your leg?

There is the sadowski, maybe a bit over range: https://www.thomann.de/gb/sadowsky_metroexpress_21_5_vin_bk_fl.htm or the sire marcus miller, that is 5 string, jazz like, unlined and underbudget https://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v7_alder_5_fl_awh_2nd_gen.htm

Don't worry, even gibson only worked that out in the 70s!

Yes, that was an easy one on heardle, 1 second here too. TBH, unless something is increadably generic, it should be easy for anyone to get in one if they know it.

I never adjusted anything on my first bass, a red ibanez ric copy. It was nicked, I would still love to get that bass back, but prices on those things are stupidly high for how good they are.

Like frothing because other people express an opinion? Just to be clear, if it happened, which it won't, it would affect everyone who used the marketplace in some way so everyones opinions would be valid.

I have luminays in several basses and I must say they vary from not really that useful to worse than white plastic dots. In fact the not really that useful ones are the ones in my elwood, and I would say that as they look like white plastic dots, or could be because the board is ebony, so they are easy to see. They are worse in the EHB where they don't stand out very much at all.

Well, yes, that is what is happening, you are listening to it how people heard it, the mistakes you made or things that weren't quite right were not that significant to the whole, but they were to you because they were entirely what you were concentrating on at the time. Although I don't suffer from performance anxiety really, I do always have a difficulty when people come up afterwards and say 'you were fantastic' - maybe part of that is my upbringing, that is someone compliments you or says something nice, you automatically assume it is sarcastic, and partly because I know it wasn't and all the mistakes and problems, but maybe in this case I am wrong, maybe the fact that it was fantastic to them is far more important to the fact that it wasn't fantastic to me.

All living fear. From an old recording, doubt it got to youtube

It doesn't matter. True conspiracy theories evolve to paper over the bits where they were clearly and demontrably wrong! Unless they are conspiracies against evolution, in which case they just pretend they never said the wrong thing in the first place, evolving would be self destructive!
