Superb! That's much more like it.

Weird. I have the bass boost and treble boost active on mine all the time. I have the -15db button off, with an active bass (Seymore Duncan pups and preamp) and use the built in compressor and never get any clipping. But it sounds amazing. Punchy as hell and more volume than I'll ever need to keep up with a 3 guitar (+ bucket basher and singist) band. I've never noticed any kind of noise coming from it either, but then I tend to set it up and leave it alone. If I need to adjust the volume or anything on the fly I do it on the bass rather than the amp. So maybe it's just something I haven't encountered.

Yup. Still using mine and still Absolutely blown away with how good it is. We've recently done a couple of outdoor gigs and I still didn't get the volume over half way. I was actually complemented at the weekend how good the bass sounded at an outdoor gig. They're absolutely superb.

The guy from Stone Temple Pilots fronting Velvet Revolver. He had absolutely no business being there and they were a mediocre band because of it. They should have gone with Sebastian Bach.

Yeah I think "singer" was pushing the description a bit. Even his own brother can't stand him.

No! 😂

Liam Gallagher in every band he's ever been in.

Well "Doom/Sludge" is a genre I've never heard of before, but I like it!

Stage name: Skegness TV Bar. That'll never catch on.

Hi all. The band I'm in wants to raise money for charity in lieu of being payed for gigs. We have a specific charity in mind that is both on Justgiving and Virgin Moneygiving. What I'm trying to do is link to the charity via our Facebook page, website etc so that people can donate to charity via the band, in the band name and I can't see a way to do it. I can set up a specific event with date, time etc so that's ok for a gig, but what I'm trying to set up is a way of it being a permanently active link that people can donate to via us so we can keep track of what we've raised. Does anyone know of any way to accomplish this. Thanks EDIT Never mind. I've figured out out. Mods can delete the thread if you want. Cheers.

Good God there's a load of miserable old sods on here. Thank goodness, I thought it was just me. No desire to go to a festival ever. It's my idea of hell. I quite like the small, village type festivals but anything that's larger than a football field or village park I'm not interested, and even then I'd only do it in fair weather.

Self moderation.

Never heard of DH Gate. I'm assuming it's another Chinese Alibaba clone? So before the usual kick off about actually daring to suggest buying a copy of something, I've never bought an instrument through Alibaba but I did often used to buy mobile phones. The biggest problem is you never know how much you're going to get stung for when it hits customs. If it slips through you could get a perfectly useable bass that looks something like your desired shape for a bargain price. If it gets stopped and taxed you could end up with a relatively expensive pile of poo. It's too much of a lottery.

I like Band Mule. It's almost perfect, I just wish it had live notifications for the chat / messenger function. I messaged the developers about this and they said they had sorted it out in the latest update but it still doesn't work for me.

How did you even find this? Very random website.

It's just a load of meaningless noise that goes on for far too long and sounds way too pretentious. It must be a Jazz advert.

I'm happy to get free beer.

I live abroad in a relatively small ex pat community so everyone kind of knows everyone (or at least knows of them anyway). So the being known for being in a band thing is kind of irrelevant. Although our first official gig is fast approaching, so I live in hope.

Sweet Jesus! His recruitment ads are even more tedious than his YouTube videos. I'm out! (To be fair I don't have a Bachelor's degree in kissing derrière so I was never in the running anyway)

They missed a trick there. It should have been a cooler box for beer. 😁

Can you have a word with my wife.

True. But then if you were spending the same sort of money on a guitar you'd probably want to see it in person too. I certainly wouldn't be throwing a few grand at something I'd never seen. I also wouldn't sell something in that basis either. I'd insist the buyer saw it in person so they knew exactly what they were getting. Much less hassle that way. If we're taking a couple of hundred quid then fair play. Have a punt. But I wouldn't be giving the seller the third degree either. Insisting they add you on social media before you will buy is borderline stalker behaviour. I'd run a mile from anyone trying to buy on that basis.

That's the name of my mate's band.
