Dood

And again.. GRRR!!

And why is the browser inserting images in posts that I have deleted? ^^^^^^^

Ok, so weirdly two posts have appeared this morning. But neither have inserted the extra images I wanted to appear.

Oh! ha ha! And when I hit post here, I received this message:

It's happening again! I've just tried posting twice on the https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/341025-have-you-ever-purchased-your-old-bass-back/#comment-3741713 thread - and although my browser has gone through the motions, nothing has appeared. I've checked with a different browser (logged out) and no post to be seen! WIERD! I'm going to leave it for a bit then try to post again using a different browser. Just thought I'd flag it up.

Twice I have tried to! The first, my Fender Precision PB70US (as discussed in the John Deacon thread) went to a lovely chap here on BassChat. He wobbled a bit having moment when he wanted to sell, but, understandably after playing it lots more, decided to keep. I can't blame him really, it was a lovely bass I sold in a stupid moment ha ha! The other, another precision bass I sold when I was 18. I had the offer to join a well known local band as lead guitarist. Yes, I sold a bass that was dear to me. SILLY! - In a weird twist of fate though it reappeared both on eBay and hear some 25 years later! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it and recognised it immediately. The guy selling it originally was the son of the chap I passed the bass too. He subsequently sold it to the BassChatter who advertised it here. Unfortunately there were some misinterpretations of what the bass actually was and thus the value started creeping up and up, too far away from my budget. Apparently, the instrument in question resides in a studio around Suffolk or Essex! Who knows which, I don't know!!

I think I’ve found a solution and will post back when it arrives should anyone else want to protect their IEM kit.

I have one of these "mixer" chaps for my IEMS. I could use my iPad to set up my levels but I prefer having knobs to to twiddle mid performance. When it comes to packing up, it goes in to a flight case with a divided section that has pull & pluck foam in. It works and keeps the mixer safe from bashes. The P16m sits in it's own foam slot. I want to try a different case as I am downsizing and have thought about butting the P16m in to some sort of foam lined ABS shell to protect the knobs on top. I could then use an overall smaller case. Thing is.. can I find anything even remotely suitable? NAH!! So, infinite wisdom of BassChat I need help! I've tried Peli Style cases and even Tupperware but I am running out of ideas. What do you think? Anyone do injection moulding or anything here?

I have your answer!!! I had Roqsolid make me a custom padded bag for my pedal board which was oversized due to having a Helix LT mounted on it with some other pedals. Worth every penny! (Although it's sitting upstairs doing nothing at the moment ha ha!!) If you speak to Bryn at Roqsolid, they are really helpful at getting the design you need right and the materials they use are of a very high quality too. @ROQSOLID recently made me a set of cases for my function band's lights as replacements weren't available. I also had a free Mic bag thrown in too, which I think might survive wars! Dan.

Oh yes.. it is very good!

Arrived and I popped two in my natural P bass pick guard even before trying them out

OOOPH!! Well that's my Start fetish sorted then!!

Now that one was a particularly good machine. Sadly, just before my life came a tumbling down around me, I had to let that one go along with both of my Dingwall basses. I am very pleased that the bass went to a good home and is still being loved! Definitely keeper material. Heaven knows how Jon manages to find such gorgeous pieces of wood!

Awww thank you Pete! - The maple board PB70 basses are also rather lush!!

I've ordered some of these.. just... because!!

Thank you. Kicking myself for selling it.

The only downside is the treatment as some flip paints don't like going on a surface such as wood rather than that of solid metal surfaces. One of my basses (whose finish is over ten years old) is a little brittle as it was the best paint available at the time. The new mixtures are much better.

Thank you so much! Flip Paint is definitely my thing!! I've basses here just waiting to get the treatment! (Maybe not the 76 precision though ha ha!) - Yes most people refer to TVR cars when they see my flip paint basses. Absolutely lovely!

Ok, currently I have (not in order) Lush Chorus, Slightly OTT Flanger, Oct down, solo boost, tremolo (pedal controls speed), Delay&Rev on one button, deluxe comp, wah, env filter. The wah is on the toe button and in some cases multiple effects or paths are engaged on a single button. It’s not really a serial set up like a standard pedal board. Actually thinking about it, my entire signal path A just sets up my core tone (I use cascaded drives to get a band-pass “warmth” and pairs of EQ’s for pre and post shaping. The EQ shaping I’ve been doing for years with silly amounts of rack gear, so it’s super nice to be able to do it in one unit now!) Deluxe Comp is blended and my solo boost is just a few decibels of lift to push me to the front of the mix more.

Well, just to go the other way in the conversation, I actually planned to sell mine too. I even bought an HX Effects with the intention of downsizing. Which actually worked rather well for the gigs I was playing. But then, one day I actually spent some proper time getting my LT set up in a way that better suited my needs, Once I figured that out..well, I sold the HX!! I'm hanging on to the LT now I think. Yeah, it is actually over kill for my current gig as I have it set up for only 8 effects really. LT does those effects gloriously though...

@MoJo - I do, it's a reverse type 640R Resolite Ping me a message! It's spare and looks new too.

I might have one Mojo!! Honestly, I think I have the reverse type.
