Try again 🙂

The list updated with recent changes. OK that's weird. There are none of the changes in that quote

Headphones would be Tier 2 at worst. I'll add you to the list on p2.

I was tempted to go back and edit the post so that @King Tut, @Geek99 and @Franticsmurf all have "most excellent" 5 string basses, but that would confuse future generations reading this thread.

This would be a Tier 1 fail, but it was an unsolicited gift from a good friend who will sadly never gig this again and when I visited him last week he insisted that I had it. Ashdown ABM C300-100 combo plus 15" extension cab. One of the very first made, they have a valve and transistor stage and you can blend them together. It's very loud even with just the combo on half volume, so I'll need to take it to church to test the cab plus extension. It's complete overkill to replace my practice amp, and as I play in church through a DI into the PA it won't get used there very often, but I couldn't turn it down as he really wanted me to have it. The EBS Session 60 is now up for sale in the marketplace here. I'll be good and not post a link!

Didn't get round to updating the thread last week, but this is what I think has happened while I have been away: @King Tut - T1 fail for a nice 5 string @Richard R - T2 for the Akai MIDI keyboard @Marvin - PSU for the pedal board. Not sure if this is T1 or T2 to be honest. It's not in the signal chain directly, but each pedal is. I'll call it T2 @Obrienp - T1 fail with a LFSys Cab @SimonK - was already out, but is now trying to start a breeding colony with all the amps he's bought @Geek99 - T1 fail on a 5 string @miles'tone - T1 fail on a CV Mustang @fretmeister - T2 fail on a guitar fuzz pedal, and enjoying his unsolicited bass @Quilly - T1 fail, Dr Green T1 bass reverb @Sean - T1 fail, buying back a bass he sold 4 years ago @Stub Mandrel - Sentenced to death for not only buying plectrums but getting them personalised. @Franticsmurf - T1 fail on a 5 string. @msb - still in as the bass was a gift @lozkerr - T1 fail Thumpinator pickup Three 5 string basses there - is there something in the BC water?

Time to get a comfy chair, tea and biscuits, a quiet house, and settle in for a good read of that thread. Looking forward to seeing how @Jimothey's build comes along too.

Can someone post a link to the original build diary for the Psilos? It's a great build I'd like to read it again

Crikey!! I hop onto BC to answer a PM, make the mistake of looking at this thread, and see that it's complete chaos in here! It's a good job Easter Monday is a bank holiday, I'll need most of the day just to update the status list. 😄 Well done to everyone still in, and have fun with your new gear the rest of you. Enjoy the Easter weekend.

True, and I stand corrected. I originally wrote "the other ape", but someone would have made a drummer joke so I changed it to monkey. "Non-human primate"?

We had a talking donkey and a gorilla...

In the diary, hopefully I will actually make it this year. 🤞

But alas I can't make it. 😪 Have fun everyone!

Just logged on to say that I'm out on a Tier 2 fail. Akia LPK25 mini MIDI keyboard. Connects to my phone for noodling and writing songs in a hotel, and also will be the input for a Pi-based MiniDexed https://magazine.raspberrypi.com/articles/mini-dexed I'll update P2 with me and @King Tut - assuming "pedal toppers" are actually a fail? They are hardly in the signal chain.

Morning all. As is my usual convention I'm cutting social media usage right back during Lent, including BC. Is there anyone else who can take over for a few weeks updating the list? No worries if not, I'll check in once a week or so to update the scoreboard.

Unless it's a super fancy thing, I would let that pass, we've allowed straps and leads.

Blimey! I step away for a few days and you're all splurging cash like there's no tomorrow! Mind you, given the state of the world right now that may be an accurate assessment. I shall update the list on P2.

I think we need a dose of common sense:

Good news! And thank you too for your persistence in making it all happen. See you in 2026.

That's why I didn't see you on the BD stand. I skipped DarkGlass as pedals aren't really my thing.

Look in the programme??

GoliathFX stand. In the guitar hall.
