  1. Frankly, there are loads of things in the marketplace that are priced well and still not selling, so the chances of selling what I assume you are talking about at the price it is advertised at is so close to zero it is not work worrying about.
  2. Because they had them it looked ok. Most of those things are just made to look ok. I have a fake bongo, it has two battery compartments at the back, as bongos are 18v. One of them isn't even routed, it is just an empty battery compartment! Handy as a spare I guess as they didn't wire it up to work anyway.
  3. We are all connected to the same internet, it is up to people to do their own research before buying. I did once mention to someone in a PM that the speakers that they were selling were £100 cheaper in a GAK sale, so they might not sell so well, which they genuinely didn't know, but ultimately it is up to people what they buy and sell for and not other people to police it.
  4. Ibanez fireglow ric (bolt on) copy. Loved that bass, no idea what happened to it, I guess lost in moving somewhere, I really don't remember. Would certainly have it back in a heartbeat.
  5. So I ordered that the next day - thought it would be a good thing to while away some time, it came today, so after dinner I went and had a look at it. Turned out it didn't while away much time! Stuck it together And tested it out, all working, so its next place is the bottom of my pedalboard! Hmm.. could have smoothed the label better. Still, it will be under the board, noone will ever see it! Those kits are pretty good. Everything goes together as it should, £30 well spent
  6. Yeh, he was the guitarist - the synth thing was an accident, it wasn't even his, just something in the studio
  7. White one?? do you mean the pink flea?
  8. They seem to last a lot better.
  9. I always use the D'dario XLs mostly, although when I am feeling a bit flush I go for the NYXLs
  10. I try to listen to most unless its something I know, or I know I am going to not like it. Couldn't get on with her voice on that one.
  11. And then several of us went down for a course on doing frets on a bass.
  12. In this config, and only this config, it doesn't matter which way round they are, as long as they are the opposite way round from each other, ie, one has to point one way, and the other one the other way, but it makes no difference which one. If it is D1 and D2, the square on the track is indicating polarity. Again, doesn't matter which but from the convention I can see with the other diode sneaking into the bottom with '3' on it, and for neatness, which is always worth striving for, I would put the cathode (the stripe) in line with the square pad
  13. Ooh thanks for that. Don't have room for that, but I could certainly fit one of the baby ones in: https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/mini-hp-vong
  14. I see a few scattered posts on here about people selling on reverb, but having never done it, I wondered what it was like. In fact I only bought on reverb once, but that was fine. There appear to be a few complaints about their fees, but they seem pretty reasonable from what I see, especially when eBay aren't doing their £1 fee thing, are there any hidden fees that I don't see? I am interested in using it instead of eBay, so I would be interested in any stories, for or against, how people have found it.
  15. Yeh, I downloaded that when it was noticed it was free on facebook. looks good, if only I had a gig to try it with!
  16. Bias Amp II is crazy although you can get a bit too involved in the amp design! It lets you model everything about the amp, the type of transformer, rectifier, valve (or not valve) types, configuration, bias voltages, input tubes, gains etc, speakers, speaker mic positions etc. I do find it amusing that the 'american bass' (ie, fender bassman) is listed in the blues rather than the bass category!
  17. I just use Bias Amp II, so you can model a whatever amp (although it has a lot of bass amps by default).
  18. Well, that is good, just updating now. Maybe it is time to update my music ipad. Actually, there is no tearing hurry to update that.
  19. Yep, I saw all the ones in the 80s in portsmouth, seemed they were always there.
  20. YOu can do it with a workshop full of the right hand tools, just some things take longer!
  21. You can specify whatever, mine is 16.5mm
  22. Yes, like this:
  23. The Ibanez SR2405W is made incorrectly and slipped out of the factory with 18mm string spacing (w for WTF is with this spacing?).
  24. Oh totally agree, I mean just not getting hung up on the details. Well, less so with Led Zep, a few songs that got dragged out, but the bass was a lot more stable than the other bits. I am not really familiar with the others.
