    Never more than a pint when I'm gigging. Any more and the notes don't leave my head but they definitely don't come out in the right time or order. The only exception was at a party, 4 in the morning, totally pie eyed, playing the guitar accompanying someone singing John Martyn. I knew and everyone in the room knew I was brilliant. Sober the next day everyone was saying "play some more Jo" but I never played like that again, sober or drunk.

    Just sold Pete an old zoom pedal I was dying to send to a good home. We didn't meet but had some good online chat. Thx mate.

    Ah, thx for the auction tip off. Mach is doing well especially if you like antiques old books or cafes. Seriously there is so much going on musically it's hard to keep up. I reckon there must be ten bands of various sorts.

    I don't see anyone saying "I'm going to keep this posted for 2 weeks, send me your offers and I'll take the best one after that if it's good enough". Tbh often I'd rather just sell in a given time frame than hang on indefinitely. A sort of nicer Ebay best offer or buy it now system.

    Price drop again, just want it to go somewhere useful!

    Sounds great, in good condition. the coils have seperate wires so that they can be wired either as single coil, series or parallel. Not the originals but generic screws and springs provided.

    You all seen so sussed. One week I can rehearse and everything seems perfect. Next week, same gear, same room same band it sounds awful. Gigging we use a quite a range of sound people, often what they do with my DI'd output means FOH sound is a mile off what I expecting. This seems to have a much bigger effect than all my eq fiddling. Good game!

    Yes i do that too. It does help but things get worse as i get older, i wish I'd kept up with my sight reading. Our sax player just scribbles a few notes to remind her and she's off. I'm 70 now and retired, lots more time to practise but i forget more often too.

    Our singer/guitarist arrived without his lead so we didn't play a note. Nice to catch up with mates though. Rehersals don't really allow for chat, which i wholeheartedly approve of on the whole.

    I go blank often in gigs however much i practise. It can be half a verse in before i remember whats what. My best defense is to practise playing along with random songs on Spotify so if i do have to wing it it won't sound too awful playing by ear for a bit. I hope my band pals aren't reading this....

    Can't agree more. I put a set in a cheapy bitza passive jazz I built. I'm usually a precision player, but I'm loving the lollar sound, its getting lots of gigs, it seems to be happy in P territory, sits great in the mix with the 2 bands I'm in; rnb covers band and acoustic ska band.
  12. Jo.gwillim
    Yes that's the buzzer for me, the feeling you can't trust people hurts more than the lost 35 quid. It's a life lesson no-one should have to learn. Hope it works out.

    My fave all purpose cab. It became an emergency vocals monitor at a gig on Saturday
  16. Jo.gwillim
    Aww thx Tobie, i quite agree with everything you said! I would keep it if times were easier, guess that's why it's still for sale.

    Hi Jack, I'm glad Shrewsbury came up trumps for you, I've had mixed experiences over the years. I'm on a long rainy bus journey so i read all of your replies. What a lovely (though totally accident probe) bunch basschatters are! When i listen to myself play on recordings with the band it's usually the bits when I'm trying to be a bit flash that make me cringe. I'd be a better bass player if i played half the notes, but got them in the right place. I've got a band practice tonight, i might try playing without a left hand finger and see what happens.

    GK Box found now, tatty but definitely a box!
  21. Jo.gwillim
    Ps really interesting thread, thank you all

    A quick shout for the gk mb200 which is in the elf size camp, well just a bit bigger. I had it apart recently to change the DI output chip which was noisy. Really well made, the preamp section has through hole components so repair is possible and a real icepower module.
  23. Jo.gwillim
    Aww many thanks. They're built like tanks aren't they?

    I've had this since I started playing bass in the late 90's. It's been doing absolutely nothing for most of that time, but havent had the heart to throw it out. I does all the usual effects plus 4 generic amp simulations. You can still read about it at https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/guitar-bass-effects/bass/zoom-bfx-708. No box or power supply but all seems to work and battery terminals are still clean. people seem to put them up for sale at about £75 on ebay/reverb, they may be sought after items, I dont know. Open to offers, would just like the shelf space. thanks for looking

    Gallien Kreuger Plex for sale in great condition. It's got all the features: Tuner, DI, Phones output, Aux in, 4 band EQ, drive, Bump, hi cut, contour etc etc GK amp simulations, and a compressor with lots of attack/release options. see more at https://www.gallien-krueger.com/plex-preamp I'm not selling it with a power supply as the one I have is generic and rattles a bit. I'd rather you used a nicer one. No box either Only selling as bills are coming in fast and gigging income has slowed down a lot for one reason or another. Current Anderton's price is £449. Thanks for looking
