  1. I actually also have 80% of my Tortellier spike as well. It did not make me a better player!
  2. I used to have a De Jacques bridge back in the day! I always thought there was something quite elegant about it. This is the only bit of 'cello I have left now.
  3. Sometimes it sucks to be a grown-up
  4. He is new but he is sound and will be an asset to us.
  5. I used to have the non stomp box one which was great. The reality is that an Fdeck preamp or a clone will do all you need and will be much cheaper. I will admit to a vested interest here because I have one for sale. But even if I did not I would still say the same thing.
  6. So many possible comments here....

    IK have totally stepped up and provided a new serial number. They did not have to do that. I am beyond grateful and frankly very, very impressed.
  8. These are the reviews we need.
  9. The one there is not, the chase only there is.
  10. And their definition of "Just So" is often radically different from our desire of "this is working, let's not fix it".

    Just because I have to vent, I am going to update you. Seller has now blocked me on FB so clearly has no intention of undertaking the 8 minute job of transferring the licence which will cost nothing. I am so fed up I am discussing this on the TB ToneX thread as well. Stereo whinging.
  12. The problem is that luthiers do not want to let things out of their shops until everything is "Just So". And "Just So" costs.
  13. YES!!! I remembered the "tap" word correctly. Check me out with my tech speak.

    I have bought a 2nd hand one. Buyer beware. I naively expected that the software would be freely available. It is not. It is tied to the specific unit. It is possible to transfer the licence but that is another step in the transaction. One which my seller has not managed to undertake yet. And it has been 2 weeks. Had I known (or thought it through) I would have just bought a new one. My £75 saving on the new price is now paling into insignificance.
  15. They lool like the real deal. Shame about the weight.
  16. I cannot see any immediate uses for this for us. And it is not markted at us. But can anyone see any way of using it creatively. Every time I getbom board with multiple pickup options I default to the "two pickups on full" option and leave it there. Does this have any funtcionality that I am missing? https://www.guitarworld.com/reviews/seymour-duncan-hyperswitch
  17. QSC CSM. Nice.
  18. I bought a Boogie D-180 which had been imported from the US. It came with step down transformer. I asked all sorts of people about ditching the transformer. No one wanted to know. Eventually I thought to ask my brother, the electrical engineer. He opened it, took a different tap off the transformer and it was all good. Moral of the story was find someone who actually wants the job. I am fully aware that I am using words I do not understand on the technical front here.
  19. That looks VERY interesting.
  20. Thanks both. The Rodes are probably too good for what Zoom will do to them!
  21. Hi all, Can anyone suggest a couple of mics to use to pick up our congregation in Church for Zoom broadcasts? I am not looking for absolute top quality 414 alikes. Zoom does horrible things to the audio anyway so there is no point in ultimate fidelity. I was wondering if anyone would point to a couple of cardioid units which I could hang above the congreation. I am thinking https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_em700.htm. But am open to suggestions. TIA
  22. I love to feel the bass resonating against me. I have sold basses which sound fantastic plugged in but have not resonated against me. Proper, proper high end stuff. It is part of the whole thing as far as I am concerned. Each to their own.
  23. This is from a Warwick bass. It is for a 14mm headstock hole. I am not sure what actual model number it is because the tuner ear does not seem to be on their present website. Some sort of Gotoh 707 thang. But what you need to know is that it is for a 14mm headstock hole. That is not the size of the hole on the bass it was going on to so out of the door it goes. It does NOT fit instead of one of the 6 machine heads in the bottom picture. Let me sadness bring you joy.
