I will happily tell my Bravewood story again and again. I own an original naturally reliced 66 Jazz bass and bought a Bravewood 63 P bass. The Bravewood scratched exactly the same itch as the Fender. In all ways. It also taught me that I do not get on with standard P nut widths so it went. But they made a sublime pair.

I can respect that.

Busted! I read Blonde but I saw Oly White. When I see beauty I do not think rationally.

Yeah, but ATCs!

Matching guitars? Check. Matching trousers and tops? Check Melting cymbals? Check I like it.

I was inspired to look for my old one and found a CAR one which was sold 2nd hand 2 years ago. There was a frisson of excitement which I totally did not expect. It was not mine but it was a really exciting few seconds.

Bands are like buses. There will almost always be a passenger.

The Beatles had George Martin. Ha had enough for all of them. Is it better? No. Does it hurt? No.

Oooh! Cracking colour scheme!!

I was about to go looking for that!

Orange brings the funk.

I stopped listening to him after about 30 seconds in a good way. I could still hear him but he was blending nicely so I just took him as part of the package.

Very much this!

It truly is the Stormtrooper of DB cases.

I know, right?! I also know that even though you have no need of it, you did spend 5 minutes considering it

I had no idea Babs was such a big deal in the 70s.

I almost want to buy it to put in the corner and look at it.

David Gage Hard Case for £400 on https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKBassgear/?fref=nf&__xts__[0]=68.ARB-o7siBUcyEIkGeKJ5eX_UWXsbC_6vWqepf3PN5unay3g6UDX9Zw0nZlN8CkFhbHnCcBNER6cqbsm67KOiK1R-ZQfq4EW7UM0eT80IjYL27KvvfpzFwChXvGPdWoSLuvNqvGJFvVib3BNd-JSJ5-MWL43nNA88Q0CRvHxvLt1EiLxixpkFUWkKFmuEKXW7QthHjVARWT5tuquAFG_RP4geIv9SOEOKc0Cbp6rzKind5VwN_mO1Z6u6iyUkssbzbhsJADN02hHKwe3-sozew4SoCFNxvSad_gJ5_Q0sUvYVbxNGSN6qbVwkRUxI3CLCqkOZuq1OWo6OnJFhIcSugB89XyLQ6obeKNM&__tn__=C-R. I have no need of it, but that is a BANGING price and if I was touring it would be my absolute first choice. I do not know the seller and have no commercial interest. I am just passing on a GOOD deal. Cos we all love a good deal.

Basschat group hug!!!!!!

I told you one of the grown ups would be along soon.

Other people more qualified will be along to explain this better soon. But it is to do with your power supply. Mac Books tend not to do so. I am not getting all "Macs are the best". They should be quiet for the kind of money they cost. Is it possible to get a better Power Supply? I would imagine so, but I am not actually qualified to have a definitive opinion.

I actually have an Alesis D4 sitting here doing nothing but ideally I would like a unit that I can tuck away and pull out for those special occasions where everything is in one place. Also, my soldering skills are such that the only way I can tell which end to hold on my soldering iron is that one end hurts more than the other. It looks like a 2nd hand Alesis Control Pad is the way to go. But not this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alesis-USB-Midi-Percussion-Control-Pad/193558597102?hash=item2d10fdcdee:g:uHQAAOSwlZNeyqZ8 ""Alesis USB/Midi Percussion Control Pad. Condition is Used. No wires included". Could there be a more obvious way of saying "this is nicked"? As usual, thanks all :)

I am more than happy coming up with midi drum parts bit sometimes get fed up putting them in on a keyboard. I know there are all sorts of pads out there with sounds on board but all I want is a set of dumb pads to use as a cotroller keyboard. I could spend 250 on an Alesis Sample Pad Pro but would rather not! Any thoughts?
