Optimistic pricing for a HB and a cheapo practice amp and a plug-in headphone amp. Looking at the seller's other items, I think they've decided that listing in uppercase with plenty of exclamation marks and offering a bogus 40% off a ridiculous price is going to bring the punters in; I do hope nobody falls for it. They've also got a £100 Stagg V for £450 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175235976965)

With a Disaster Area mini switcher you can step up and down through patches/programs. However, it does then increase the effective footprint of your unit.

They'd then get into loads of hassle when they blocked people sending to their mates, effectively calling their customers liars, etc. I guess they can't win either way. The bottom line is if you use F&F to send to people you don't know, then it's your risk; you've been warned. (Can't believe I'm defending PayPal, but I guess if I'm not against them then I must be with them.)

In fairness to PayPal, they are clear and it's up to folks to choose to think of someone they don't know as "Friends & Family".

Those Chickenbackers are based on Fender scale and tend to have the Treble pickup in the Jazz Bass position.

As ever, simply do not use Friends & Family to pay people who aren't your friends or family...

I like the Microbass 3's fx loop; it means it can be a pedalboard hub. The fly in the ointment for me is that I've recently acquired an Ampeg valve preamp, which has a certain sound to it (of course)... My pedalboard as-is: I'm trying out the HX Stomp replacing a number of discrete pedals and will see how that goes.

It really added more authority to the sound, compared to the SansAmp BDDI which previously held the spot on my board. My only wish was that it had two of those channels rather than one plus distortion (like the Stanley Clark acoustic one).

I disagree - the clean channel is remarkable. The distortion channel isn't as good. Mine says manufactured in Sweden.

I couldn’t imagine trying to program one without a PC. (Well, I suppose could imagine it, but it would be a thankless task!)

How much did you say you want for that £200 bass?

And then the Kempton Park guitar show scheduled for the following weekend. (I don't want to wish Summer over, but...)

Cheers for the message @Kebabkid - see you there!

Yep - you've nailed it!

My first thought was is it a Harley Benton, but maybe it's more a hardly bent one.

Bob Daisley is a fine bass player; the price is way out of my league, though.

Looks riveting.

What is a channel strip, BTW?

Well; the concept of zero crossings is a bit simplistic anyway; you really need something like a spectrogram & FFT to analyse the frequencies in an audio signal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrogram).

Cheers - I knew of his background. It's just I remember the brand coming to prominence in the mid-70s.
