can't see the harm in sending a vid, just be wary of suspicious follow ups, like paying via paypal, I never sold anything on Reverb so not sure what the procedure is

just purchased a Zoom B1on from Gary, no problems at all, as described and great comms

I learn new songs, revise old ones before a gig, or work out bass lines for originals, is that practicing? don't have a set time, depends whether I've got a gig or new material to work on, otherwise I don't pick the bass up

I once had the misfortune to play through an 1 x 8 elf combo, granted it was a large room, but it was woefully underpowered, no umph and poor projection, a million miles away from vintage Trace amps, maybe the 1 x 10 is better with an extra cab

Also the heat sink models are lower wattage so are a lot lighter, I've got 2, the rehearsal room has a fan modal, about 400 watts I think, weighs a lot more than mine and is not any louder as far as I can tell, mine are still plenty loud enough for gigging without a full PA

that thought occured to me, are BF not very sensitive then?

oh right, thinking about it I've only bought off business sellers recently, no buyer protection fee

maybe I'm being thick here but the buyer doesn't pay anything in my experience, do you mean selling fees?

I agree with this, much rather go and see a good tribute act in a small local venue than pay out an exorbitant fee to see the real thing at an arena gig and you don't get "Here's some tracks from our new album" cue, rush to the toilets and the bar

I won't pay it and hate stadium gigs anyway, my next gig is the Undertones at Rock City £35 plus booking fee £5.38 and £1.50 e ticket download I hate these extras that are unavoidable, much as I don't like Government interference it really is time they put a stop to this, The headline price should be the price you pay, it's ridiculous, £1.50 to send you an E-ticket, where's the justification in that? If people didn't pay the high price for the big name gigs they wouldn't charge it, supply and demand init?

a bit of audience interaction is a good thing, nothing worse that long silences between songs or incoherent mumble from someone who is clearly out of their comfort zone, though on occasions as @asingardenof said it can go on too long, and please, no preaching to the crowd, it's bound to upset someone

Problem with Jools Holland is it's very eclectic, which is understandable, being about the only music show on mainstream TV, I record it and finish up watching 1 act if I'm lucky

I use a zoom multi effects B1on pedal, there was one for sale on here, anything between slight overdrive to full on fuzz and eq as well
