RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Just noticed this thread is still here. Just to say that the software editor for the minitaur has not been updated ! It still works on osx Ventura ,but not on Mac mini m4 . Not sure about windows ..

Three’s a jolly good fellow . Great news about being mortgage free ! Massive achievement.

We’ll have to agree to disagree etc. no issue in my neck of the woods .

Stopped mid/ late ‘90s . Then one of my best mates who taught me,and got me gigging , pushed me into doing a gig for my 40th birthday.Then I got motivated again, and played in a couple of bands. Got fed up when bands imploded like they do in about 2010, so stopped again . Last few years got into synths ,and started recording rubbish on soundcloud. As I’m old , I should be downsizing the bass collection but for some reason I’m thinking of getting one more bass that would be the dearest and hopefully best . I seem to have more fun noodling without any pressure to learn anything , which for some reason means my playing has got better without thinking about it .

Sorry to hear that @Beedster. If it’s not broke don’t fix it doesn’t seem to compute these days . Having said that , with RM you get email notifications when your item is due for delivery. Plus their app actually does work . Unlike EVRI who are worse than crap . Since merging with the useless EVRI , DHL have gone massively downhill and their notifications are the exact same as EVRI … For example;; last year I purchased a rare vinyl album from Germany via discogs. I got many notifications on its journey to me via DHL. Gtreat! On Sunday 2nd nov I purchased a piece of moog equipment from a shop on reverb. It was dispatched on Monday from uk address. I was impressed by the speed of dispatch etc. I checked the DHL tracking on tues and “ I out for delivery ‘ was indicated. It comes to 10.00 pm and a message ‘ at the depot’ appeared! Being laid back etc, I expected the item to arrive Thursday . I sent sellers email at 10.00 pm so they see it on Thursday morning. I got an email apologising about delay and was told they would contact dhl and it would be with me that day . Turns out I received it around 6pm next day ( Friday) ! I was promised a refund if not received,,and was advised to check the link . No! That’s the sellers job ! This is exactly the same standard as EVRI , so dhl is on my list of hate . DPD and RoyalMail are the only ones that are 90+% good in my neck of the woods and if I see a seller using anything else I avoid or politely ask them if they use my choice of courier!

I think I’m more or less done with eBay .Changes keep being made . Most of any basses I would think about purchasing seem to be only available in Japan these days. Sly added fees to buying as well as selling items . Plus of course the new method of selling is in my experience one massive pita! If I was to purchase anything from a seller , I would contact ( or reach out if you’re a member of the four tops) the seller asking what courier service they use . If it’s EVRI the transaction won’t happen ,and I’ll see if a seller would use my choice of delivery instead .( in my case dpd or Royal Mail ) As for selling , the automated eBay way of doing things means if I did sell something again , I’d have to contact the buyer advising them who I am using . I had to do that a few months ago when selling an fx pedal . Thankfully all was good , but trying to find the item posted button was impossible as I never followed eBay recommended way of dispatching the item . i wouldn’t cancel my details , as I have 100% feedback etc and don’t want to start all over again .

FWIW it seems you have / will have all bass covered …and then some ! It’d be interesting to hear your experience of how this pans out

You don’t get more ‘80s than headless basses ! (Well maybe metal pointy basses ) Nothing wrong with the cricket bats , but wouldn’t you consider a full bodied Hohner Jack? Not sure if you can get left handed ones .

I purchased the How Dare You album on cassette and couple of singles as a kid . Great album at the time . Got bored of I’m not in Love and Dreadlock Holiday pretty quickly. The BBC4 documentary was pretty good a few years back .
