Enjoyed Sungazer (Adam Neely and co.) last night at Future Yard venue in Birkenhead; great gig, plus interesting QandA session before the gig, nerding for the nerds, bass and otherwise Stood next to the FoH desk and the sound was epic, spent half the gig eyes closed bathed in 3D aural and physical music - didn't much like the venue stage lighting (really bright strips behind the stage facing forward, most bands they'd be either side/behind the drums so less visible bit this band have bass and drums either side and sax and guitar in the middle) but that was the only downside, other than price of beer, the on site food was good with vegan option and a really chilled relaxed attitude all round, had a chat with security guy, who really had an easy night. We had a chat with the promoter when we arrived, and got her business card - original music is her thing.......fyi

A week tonight taking a trip to Birkenhead to catch Sungazer

Ryan brought my PJB 800 amplifier - nice easy smooth sale, good comms over a gigging weekend for him, thank you and enjoy the sound 👍

Reduced asking price for BC, SOLD for £330 delivered 🙃 I am not gigging so no longer need a powerful, versatile, compact, and what I would describe as transparent, amplifier. I have been using an Ampeg SGT-DI with it for a very convincing (to my ears) B-15 sound through a BC MkIII Cab. Amplifier is in very good condition, not many hours use, and is complete with original box, packaging, mains lead with UK 3 pin plug and manual. There's a very slight scratch on the top, looks like maybe the plug marked it when picked up with the lead to move it but it's not dented. The black brushed aluminium case shows every fingerprint and the very slightest mark. It has lived in a padded RokSak when not being used with foam protecting every edge and cables in separate pockets. This is lifted direct from the PJB website (with added i in the metal 😉) Small and lightweight just got more powerful with the introduction of Phil Jones Bass’ BP-800 bass amplifier. The BP-800 is a high power, high performance no compromise compact amplifier that delivers more bass for the buck. The BP800 features a Class A pre-amp with the popular PJB 5-Band EQ. Although it weighs only 5.7 lbs and is 7.5” wide the BP-800 is built with the ruggedness and precision needed to withstand all the rigors of live performance and the road. The appealing blue front panel is a quarter inch thick and CNC machined while the chassis is built from thick aluminium extrusion making it incredibly strong. All control knobs are PJB design solid aluminium billet for a high end look and feel. The BP-800 will work on any AC voltage from 100- 240 volts AC enabling it to conveniently travel worldwide without having to switch to local AC supply voltages. The Power Output is 400 watts into 8 Ohms, and 800 watts into 4 ohms (maximum load). The dimensions are 7.5” wide x 2.5” high x 12.5 “deep. Other features include Mute /Passive/Active Switch, Headphone out and auxiliary input jacks, Balanced line out with pre/post EQ and ground lift switches, FX send/return Jacks, Pre Amp out and Power amp input jacks and a High-Current Speakon Out. Price is with shipping with either Parcelforce or UPS to mainland UK other than premium price far flung areas. Tradewise, I am in the market for a tidy Macbook Pro 16 2019-on with a bit more than base RAM installed that can run current iOS and last a few more years as I want to leave Microsoft for good. Not listed elsewhere, I don't do FB or W'App, so next move would be Ebay and or Reverb. Thank you for looking. -

drop John an email, he will be able to answer that/help, he's a busy man so it might take a day or two for a reply, but if he's in front of his computer he often replies within an hour -

Replacement Tuners for Squier Classic Vibe 60's P Bass?

I remember there was a Manage Followed Content option in settings, iirc it was in the three bar menu at the top of the page if I was signed in, but I can't find it now. It listed all the threads I was following just like the mail list shows all the message conversations I have participated in. Periodically I prune the lists. For example no point in following a thread in for sale once item is sold, but useful to find out if it has sold without wading through pages of listings. In this case I want to unfollow a feedback thread for someone else and couldn't see an unfollow option on the thread that I was alerted to a subsequent post in because I'm automatically following threads I have posted in which is fine, I sold that person an item and gave feedback, the notification alerts me to any response to my feedback, hopefully a thumbs up or equivalent.

My Squier Telecaster Affinity, FSR Danish Pete version from Andertons from 2019 was/is fantastic, straight out of the box, £139, metallic purple finish, pickups do the job absolutely fine, neck stable, plays and sounds great still, another excellent instrument from Cort. Couldn't justify spending the extra £200 + on a CV in the same colour when they came along, though I think quite a few peeps sold their FSR at inflated prices when they ran out and a few fomo peeps were prepared to pay an extra £100+ for a used one, and did the trade up

Looks like Precision made by Cort, Jazz made by Samick I have 2 Squier Classic Vibe mustangs, one Cort, one Samick, the Cort is better imo, the Samick maybe looks better because of the colour and the racing stripes and is lighter Phil McKnight has done reviews on both a Tele and a Strat, that particular Strat was very poor, Squier standard with a Fender badge, not CV quality

I think you will find that Evri are already way ahead of you on manipulating the algorithms, all those positive feedbacks they do legitimately receive pretty much obscure the terrible ones All the courier companies now have terrible customer service, some terrible staff and some people working hard to do the job right, and paying more doesn't seem to make a difference because they just change their practices to maintain profits; the government (all of them not just this one, they are all the same because they reflect our complete lack of interest in doing different/better and using actual common sense or a decent moral foundation as a basis for society) has absolutely no interest in managing the sector; we've sold Royal Mail to a Czech billionaire, we/they have washed their hands, got more important things to worry about like building shit we don't need and making sure the haves continue to become better off and prevent the rest from actually revolting and hoping the others don't find out about their mistakes/wrong doings, while working to/hoping the dangerous idiots don't blew us all to oblivion

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Description says fan fret - err no, where are they made ? -
Mk IV was a great amp in my experience mid eighties, pared with either the Peavy 2 x15 BW or a Turbosound or Martin Audio compact PA cabinet, made for a really good reggae bass rig - but you needed a transit van, though in those days parking was easy and fuel wasn't too bad and used transits were cheap to buy and run

I'm guessing you don't mean one of these
