  1. When the SansAmp thing happened, I had contact from someone musicians say they hadn’t been paid for gigs.
  2. FYI, an update: a couple of weeks ago I escalated the case with ebay and got a refund of the amount paid and today I received a further refund of the UPS return postage, so I'm at net zero. OTOH, I've not spent much time with the rack and the other power-amp in it, plus I've gone and broken a finger (luckily only my right-hand pinky, but it's still a niggle when I play). On a plus side, I did pick up a rather nice Tokai Strat a couple of weeks ago, which I've had my eye on for a few years, so mustn't grumble...
  3. I've got one of these - it's a nice bass.
  4. This is the kind of thing which is handy to take to a Bass Bash!
  5. I tend to use aluminium food trays for this kind of thing and for neck shims - cut strips to size, fold and double-over to required width.
  6. It's a method of damping the open strings.
  7. I’ve got an AMT overdrive pedal; it is rather good. £40 seems a ridiculously low price.
  8. It's a Chickenbacker, plain to see. Bidding went up to over £700 before it was pulled; plenty of folks reported it.
  9. They're called lighters because they make your wallet lighter.
  10. Gumtree is an ebay company, so all is good.
  11. Haha: "Sounds great looks stunning and is already a collector's piece." "I recently had it evaluated and the guy said he was almost too scared to handle it as it is such a lovely example."
  12. This year my plan is to spend more time looking at other folks kit - I always seem to get to the end of the day and wonder where the time went! I'm debating whether to bring 8 Rickenbackers (and the Rickenberger) or a selection of oddments. I should have Ampeg SVP & SansAmp RBI pre-amps in a case with a class-D power-amp, if anybody's interested in contrasting them (however, it would require figuring out how to use the controls on the Ampeg!). Also a note to self: don't forget to check the batteries in any actives!
  13. Phew - normality is resumed! 🙂
  14. It's Squier, squire.
  15. ...so, it does mooer for less?
  16. I've never tried a Hondo Pro, but they do look quite nice.
  17. 🙂 Actually, the down octave on the higher notes with my Aguilar Octamizer sounds really good; I think it'll track down to a C. However, the break-up as notes decay would be a show-stopper for me.
  18. I can oftentimes tune a bass by ear, so if I played a G I'd get an F and it would do my head in. I suppose it'd work out if I was on one of my Steinbergers, as the strap position pushes the neck two frets away from me, though!
  19. Cool. Personally I'd find everything artificially being out by 2 frets more confusing than either using a 5-er or an eXtender. But heck; that's me, not everybody else!
