I watched a bit of the GnR gig - I mean his voice was certainly not great but who is this mythical Axl Rose that people are talking about who could sing live? I have seen them twice in the 90s, I never heard it.

I use wireless pretty well everywhere, practicing at home, outside, at gigs, wherever, can't be doing with cables. The wireless I use depends on where I am, around the house I use my cheap ammoon 2.4g dongles, and they are just fine, good batttery life etc. Live I tend to use the 5GHz dongles, no interference with anything and just trust them more. I have just got a bongo in exchange and love it, however, I have noticed if I use the 2.4g dongles or the Boss Waza Air I get a high pitched interference - its a bit better with the dongles as they can be moved around a bit to where it is reduced a lot (but still present), but the waza airs obviously don't move - its kind of hard using those. If I use the 5GHz dongles, no interference at all however I move them round, so not a gigging issue. I have 10 or so other basses, mostly active from cheap to expensive, and a chapman stick and upright bass, and none of them suffer from any wireless interference with any of those things. Has anyone experienced this? I presume the bongo is unshielded as are probably most of the other basses, and maybe there is something in its circuit that is prone to 2.4GHz noise, but it is irritating that I can't use it with the waza air, unless I put an extension lead on it.

Well, that is fine, its not like anyone has any need to be playing up there!

No

Also wedding - local, arrived early to setup the PA so they could do their first dance to it, so setup was easy (apart from all the children helping), rest of the band turned up later, we started earlier than we though, but then they gave us a lot more money than we thought! Long gig, but apparently we sounded fine, it was the first gig with the old guitarist as the new one decided it wasn't for him and the old guitarist decided it was for him. Played my new bongo, it sounded great and was good to play. Finished at 11, packed up, home and put away by 12.

I was specifically refering to on here. If you have a bass on here that is say £1000, then it goes down to £700, people still not interested, so you do a 'this will be 500 for the weekend and then it is going back up', I don't understand why someone who was interested in it when it went back up wouldn't just message them and say I will have it at the £500 - you were happy with that at the weekend.

I would say the first one is reasonable statement, rather than a threat. The second, well, I have never seen that, might as well leave the advert. The third, that makes no sense - if you don't get the lower amount you sure as hell will never get the higher, and even if you put it back up, people know you will accept the lower amount so seems pointless.

A pickguard can be changed, but then it is no longer complete so it is worth less. Its not about them being instruments, its about them being collectors items.

wow- even a lefty P bass! I guess our music store didn't have that much money, although I don't remember them being there a long time

Would love to try one - unfortunately like many of these things, it is very hard to try anything anywhere, at least anything that isn't a fender so chances are it wouldn't happen - it would also have to be a second hand one of the right spec so no real chance of coming across any of them.

I remember seeing a antiga p-bass, strat and telecaster in a shop together when i first started playing (new) - didn't like them at the time (or any time since), but they certainly looked noticable as a collection.

Love the 1605s, but seems like all your spalting has fallen down to the bottom!

No - it means they absolutely won't play mustang sally

I just put normal D'addario XLs on mine yesterday. The B string on those is just long enough by a few mm.

Actually looks even worse than a Kay!

I would (and have) happily buy from them - I can't think of a situation where I would choose to sell with them, seems a very expensive way of shifting something.

I play all of mine live at some point, no point having them if you are not going to use them. When I take a spare it is often a different spare

The only scams you can do with a bank transfer is if you show someone a fake screenshot saying you paid it, but that is quickly uncovered by looking at your own banking app and showing the money has turned up.

I was looking at that recently but didn't get as far as you as their email address no longer works - maybe they no longer work?

ok, looked in my vong and then realised why I was confused - mine is the mini-vong LP, so it has nothing other than the op-amp!

so it has, I never noticed that. I have one, haven't used it for a while, I think because of hf noise with something

Charge pump in the vong? Its just a simple op-amp filter running from just under 9v.

stop playing and see if they notice

agreed it would be, but the bumping thing is tied to posting and replying which you can't do in wanted
