I once owned a BC Rich (Platinum Series) Warlock that I bought to emulate my then guitarist, and the headstock dive on that thing made me strongly dislike playing it, so I traded it in for a Crafter electro-acoustic that I also realised I very much disliked because I'm not in my heart an acoustic player, not even partially. Of the six basses I have owned (I don't buy and sell much, don't go in for collecting really and I'm a lefty), those were the two not to be given names.

Sounds like they were the ones lacking style - speaking one goth to another. Plus, the Bongo's do look rather fetching in my opinion.

The only effects unit I bought this year, the HX Stomp XL - definitely an evolution on how I do things. Everything is now small and clean looking. No damned patch cables getting in the way, and partnered with the Nu>X C-5RC wireless system really frees up my floor space.

Love Under Will - Fields of the Nephilim

Just in today. Decided to go all-in and just have one thing to do everything I need and is compact. A relatively small step from an HX Effects and a VTBASS DI, but an important one to me. Free at last from patch cables and pedalboards, yes!

Oh, I bought a Nu>X C-5RC wireless unit so you can mark me down as out since the 5th August.

Well, I can't speak for every woman but for myself and some of the women I know who are in bands, we wouldn't get a tattoo or a facelift for a band. I do have a fair bit of ink but because I wanted it and not to appease anyone but myself. Like BigRedX, I'm also in the goth scene but I've not felt pressure to present in any way that I didn't want to. Heck, I don't even wear makeup - but, no one's going to accuse me of not being goth enough with some of the tattoos I have. Likewise, I do not wear my years quite as heavily as others seem to do.

I recently jumped into the wireless world, but not wanting to spend big money that I don't have, and not wanting a cumbersome body pack, I eventually opted for the Nu>X C5-RC. I needed something that would most likely work with active basses (it does), and from the reviews I watched and read, the Nu>X systems seemed to be amongst the best at a price point I could afford. So far, it's all been good, but I've not tried the system outside my flat. I did think it wasn't working on my Schecter SLS Evil Twin but no, I'd turned a volume down before I switched over from my Schecter Riot and forgot to put it back up - which explained how the tuner could pick it up but still get no sound.

Fields of the Nephilim do that walk on, play, walk off thing with only a "thank you very much" to acknowledge the audience. It works for them.

Westenra at the 1 in 12 Club in Bradford last weekend. They were great.

Well, "he" is a she and no, she doesn't own other instruments. I traded my keyboard in last year along with most of my pedals for an HX Effects.

I bought a power supply so I wouldn't be using my Fuel Tank Junior to just power one pedal, so I guess I'm now out. Well, as of about a week ago.

Still in.
