  1. Do you know, if you misread that as banana, it conjours up a whole different scenario...
  2. I used the small tp-link ac750 travel router for a while, but its lack of ports became an issue when I had the X-Control, so now I have a GL-SFT1200 Opal, 3 ports and wireless 2.4 and 5 (with 2.4 switched off). Has been great and the best feature is that it runs off usb so easy to power without having to have more leads.
  3. If I have a problem connecting to the x-air I ensure the app on the tablet isn't still running from before - I quit it and start it again and that always seems to work
  4. But it is a crafted in china CV that is being mentioned here?
  5. I played a 1965 fender jazz at one point that I really loved, and was tempted because it was my birth year, but problem was it was £3k which seemed a stupid amount of money for what it was and some added nostalgia, now they have got even more stupidly priced I know I will never have one, and there aren't many other basses of that period I like, and tbh, any 4 string is almost certainly going to end up unplayed, so it would be a waste. There was a walnut Es355 guitar that was 1965, and £1500 that I almost got but I just didn't have the money at the time, regretted that one.
  6. Harley benton mb4. And a bit of woodwork on the headstock if you really wanted to
  7. Sorry, this page isn't available.
  8. I had ab epi thunderbird and I loved it apart from the number of strings and fret access. But if I wanted a 4 string rock bass, that would have been perfect.
  9. I had one too, but only because GAK did a blowout of them very cheap as they weren't selling, probably because they weren't / arent the most attractive things, regardless how they sound, and they do sound good. I loved the sound but the necks were too big and I never did get to love the way it looked, but noticed by the time I sold mine, and gak ran out the prices had gone up by quite a bit (probably the sort of time you got yours maybe?) Now I look they are in the £700-1100 region and seeing as GAK had to put them out at half of that to shift them new and I doubt they are ever going to be collectable, I doubt there is much of a market in them. However if you can cope with the looks and the neck, then there is quite a lot to like there.
  10. No, it seems he is just here to sell his bass and hasn't visited since he posted this.
  11. I don't know, I am not sure I have ever really been to an average wedding, probably related to the people I know. The last but one wedding we did though was quite a lot of money spent, 'big farmer' type, proper wedding venue (who couldn't have been more helpful), big buffet and twee citreon wartime vans outside with different catering. A best man who clearly wasn't used to public speaking. Wedding went well, but the thing that impressed me is that the bride, in bridal gown, when we started took her wedding shoes off, put sneakers on and danced to every single one of our songs in a > 2 hour set.
  12. I think the weirdest thing is that 3 of the 5 weddings we have done were gay weddings. Seems disproportionately high, considering we are just a normal cover band.
  13. I guess it depends on the wedding. We have done 5 weddings, 3 of them we did new songs for, 2 of which are now in our standard song list but the rest was just parts of our normal set. They all seemed to go down fine and we enjoyed playing all of them. I don't recall any of them being that much more hassle than a normal gig, apart from finding the venues (as they all tend to be little country areas with weird parking).
  14. Me too as long as I knew I was leaving before dakota and wouldn't be anywhere near earshot by dont look back in anger!
  15. I don't mind that song but we all have those songs.. there are a couple of blues songs that the guitarist keeps trying to bring in which are.. well, blues songs so very dull to play. The worst for me was chumbawumba, tubthumping. Its a tricky one as I don't even know if I am playing it right as I can't listen to the whole song so I am just guessing, but noone really cares. I hate the song, the guitarist hate the song, but the audience love it so it gets trotted out. Some other things though you can have fun with, i mean, mustang sally has so many trills, fills and walking sections in it now that the original didn't have I really enjoy it!
  16. isn't it just easier to listen to the songs tuned up by 1/2 step - quite a lot of apps will do that
  17. Nope, treat everyone based on who they are. The singer is probably the least sensitive.
  18. Yeh, that would be a no for me even on a £200 bass - if you can't take any more photos I am assuming you don't have the thing you are selling.
  19. Any indication of why a £4k 10 string mandolin being sold on gumtree would be of interest to rickenbacker or chris Squier fans?
  20. The bongo, spector, ibanez and shuker are all 2hh, as is my own build. They all work pretty well
  21. Well, that is better than it being under someone elses control, at least it can't be used for scamming people you know..
  22. No luck getting the account back?
  23. As far as I see, the off topic doesn't increase content count, so it is odd that you can win the day with it - I think something has got lost in translation - I will look into it ok, looked into it, it isn't sadly an option without a plugin
  24. If you got a thin weedy sound then yes, it could be a coil. If it is working as a volume control (ie, full off is no sound at all), it is a shorted capacitor, a tone control with a shorted capacitor is a volume control.
