  1. I'm in two bands, a 6 piece and a 4 piece the 4 piece despite being a bit heavier and less "pub-friendly" has no issues getting gigs compared to the 6 which cant secure them for love nor money ... once the 3 guitarists have dragged their spaceship pedalboards out there's no pub left for the punters 😉
  2. Hi, Folks a bit of a weird thing to ask, but someone in the Basschat community might know someone or be able to point me in the right direction, they may even be a lemonrock for Latvia I am fortunate enough to be getting married this year, In August, to a Latvian who's been living in the UK since she was 8, So while we've both spent a fair bit of time there our local knowledge and that of the music scene is non-existent. We are both pretty alternative and planning a small ( 45 people) wedding at an ethnographic centre about 45 minutes outside of Riga near Ādaži. We have a wedding planner helping us as our boots on the ground" and the venue is amazing. https://gungas.lv/ but costs are as you can imagine already spiraling ... the moment the word wedding is used anywhere. So the Ask, I am looking for help finding a Latvian-based band, to do alternative leaning covers, so punk/rock/emo/ classic-rock, or some help in finding local resources in and around Riga or Ādaži ( unlikely) Where we can hire PA gear, backline etc. I'd also really love it if they would let my band and I come up and do a couple of numbers, (2G,1B, Drums and a vocalist ) I imagine we'd fly our own guitars out .... but I'm under strict orders from the future Mrs Synth "quite sensibly" that I'm needed elsewhere for much of the event so we definitely will not be the main attraction. No offers of "we'll play for free" if you fly us, please ... The venue is at accommodation capacity, so much so that much of my family arent on the list.
  3. if its a 12 volt 2000mA from one of these https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_2_pro.htm you could try this , looks good and sturdy but priced accordingly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/KFD-Adapter-Negative-Controller-Amplifier/dp/B0DG5BCGF6/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2YCU62AJ27Y2I&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.E9cQlm8WGOsNwifSGG_S3h_2-GsteqRJigcOPDcuO6hgw4O1Pg2mHutDWb-2M70pWEuN3gZ9x6kPP3oaHoSfL4aY29WhNStjzP5XlTf78BiszvF1H_uj_xqxMfOiSZgIQLsy0Fw4o_7ySri3YwrOUwcLvWzkq4g-CbrZAHcMO_DsJQrURyXY6IvWg6LLnY-3wEoQujERa1zYR1cJFLnFnlAmF-bqOJmJlMROs6NvCJE.euJn3vXTKjA6SNtJa00iWU9zPgy5cPxshdCiXX93h2I&dib_tag=se&keywords=12v+2000+mA+centre+negative&qid=1738247806&sprefix=12v+2000+ma+centre+negative%2Caps%2C75&sr=8-4
  4. Do you mean one of these https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_powerplant.htm If so that's just a kettle lead also known as IEC C13 and should be available very inexpensively on Amazon. Can i make an alternative suggestion/pitch for the battery bank ones, buying the cheap Harley Benton pedal power bank, has led my pedal use/life to improve dramatically by not having to plug the damn things into the wall ... no more horrid daisy chains / Dirty power introducing noise into my pedal chain, has meant I can now stack effects and has essentially made my noise gate redundant... They do two based on how big a battery you need, I've gotten the bigger one and it lasts a couple of months between charges .. I do 2 4 hour rehearsals a week and home practice in between. and all it takes is to notice the light on 1 blip when I'm using it to chuck it on charge overnight, Via USb C. https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_powerplant_powerbank.htm , https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_powerplant_powerbank_mk2.htm
  5. Hilariously over Christmas I replaced my venerable zoom b3 with the 6 or so pedals and an ehx noise gate that are my favourite models from it .. I was sick of the noise it makes. Bwizz / wheee soon as I turn on anything drive / fuzz and the built in gate steals all the dynamics when used. I've done everything to try to solve this issue with the b3, I even use battery power banks, now it's gone total silence I don't even need the gate. I can stack fuzz ,drive chorus compression and eq blessed silence until I play if course.
  6. The Nux Mighty plug is what you need, it will allow you to stream Bluetooth audio, from a phone or other Bluetooth source to it as a speaker, which routes straight into your headphones The smartphone app is excellent and free and used to control the settings including selecting amp sims and cabs the selection is below ."Yes" there are more options for "guitar" but the AGL and MLD are bass-dedicated.
  7. Love it ..... i'd be popping a black scratchplate on it if I were getting one .... and I am now actively considering it
  8. Hopefully, I will be a voice of Hope in a Sea of Woe... Our new singer Auditioned 4 weeks ago, were getting up to speed for our first gig mid-October... Pinged an advert into the band's WhatsApp for a used Yamaha PA, a little 500-watt Yamaha PAS, (powered tops 250 a side)b, She was purely after advice from us Amp knowers/havers... if this was sufficient power-wise to keep up with the drums and amps considering our drummer is also light-handed this should be more than fine if not we'd make the guitarist turn down ( Too many Valves) She pulled the trigger and intends to store it too, absolute result so not every singer is clueless on this front.
  9. A second vote for eris 3.5s phenomenal All around powered desktop speakers .. I've used them for everything from pc use to cinema speakers for my projector to small event speakers ... Amazing value for money
  10. I use a pretty wide big Foam backed leather strap, i bought years ago to tame the neck dive for my Thunderbird , something like this ( not exact ) https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1015219225/extra-wide-softy-guitar-strap-bass?gpla=1&gao=1& It may help that I'm 6'3 still just under 40 and built like a Rugby forward who enjoys too many pies , Mine is heavy and in fairness I' don't primary gig it it may come out for a song or two that needs the Low B but I find the string spacing a touch narrow as well compared to the gaps you could drive a car through on my Ray
  11. AHH sorry to hear that I thought I they are quite varied on weight but usually on the heavy side ... Have you considered .... Some DIY Weight relief considering the price on the them you could do much much worse 😉
  12. Hi Tretim , I bought one of these to go alongside my 4 String Ray , https://harleybenton.com/product/enhanced-mj-5mn-natural/, ( mines the P variant with the MM behind ) I Grabbed, Direct from Thomman because same as you I too am allergic to Nickel and wanted a cheap 5 . I mainly have problems with Euros especially in my pockets..... and belt / watch buckles/straps. Give me a Holler if you are anywhere near Woking you're more than welcome to come to try it out. Lyle / Synth
  13. I had a similar/funny run-in with another online company .. they actually sent me a totally different product ... the box was incorrectly labelled .... I called an agent, and, they wanted photos .... to prove it ??? I mean.... what would stop me from having just swapped it with a different thing for the photo. I strongly suspect it had gone out to the customer before ... they had done the ole .... swapero returned it .... and sent out to me " as new " Terrible really.
  14. If you can find an old Aria AMB-50B on eBay or similar that will do you great, I picked up one for £70 or so years back it is an ovation abs back knock off. Surprisingly loud unplugged too, strung with black nylons its what I play at home 99% of the time.
  15. I have That Guy Pratt Neck on my Status Vintage P ( basically the Guy Pratt but only with the neck humbucker ) vouch for it being very comfy but a pretty much one trick pony.
