  1. I might be simplifying it but as I see it, it is all about the disposal of stolen goods... or at least goods not owned by the seller; rather than counterfeit et al.
  2. Good idea. I've done likewise; they can't ignore multiple messages... hopefully.
  3. Oooof dear me that is a great spot! It'll be interesting to see how that plays out as the person putting that in the sale has a lot... ONE question to answer. Hope the rightful owner can get it back though.
  4. I think I've had a PX3 in my gear draw for 20+ years and it's not been used more than 5-6 times!
  5. Don't get me started Bill! As a school teacher I was required to educate pupils from Y1 to 6th form to be able to use feet, inches, miles, oz, lbs, pints, gallons (but not quarts) etc AND mm, cm, km, ml, L et al... still teaching this even though we went decimal 55 years ago! Honestly it used to do my head in! I should add that I was still doing this up to 7 years ago when I retired aged 55.21 years.
  6. Visit a Halfords that has a cycle dept (or any bike shop tbh), they are happy to give away bike boxes which are nice and thick.
  7. I can assure you I have gone through this very process INCLUDING going to the Ombudsman... when you agree to terms and conditions the onus is on YOU to identify if any relevant clause(s) apply to you purchasing basic or enhanced insurance. In my instance the Ombudsman investigated the loss of my instrument and concluded that as PF's T&Cs excluded instruments it was my fault for still going ahead and paying for enhanced insurance (through them), I wasn't even entitled to their basic £20 cover as it was an item specifically included. Oh and I couldn't even get back my delivery fee!
  8. Not the same noise but we had a proper b4llache dealing with a pulsing 'noise' through our desk. We thought we pinned it down to the sax players Zoom effects unit (when disconnected)... only to find that if he was plugged in and one of the guitar Helix was unplugged it went off! Argh.
  9. Packing my gear to head off from the NE to Grimsby for a double header!
  10. To the best of my knowledge, the only one in the UK.
  11. This where I get lost off... It may well be the Mk1 with no mid control but the HX has dozens of ways of adding/subtracting mids while using the Tech 21 block. Surely if the core tone is right, then anything else is just embellishment as you'd get by tweaking EQ from the bass through to an amp or desk?
  12. Just an observation but if this is the 'digital' version of the Tech 21 DI bass driver type thing, is it not already modelled in the Helix/Stomp units? It may well be getting produced by the originator of that tone but at the end of the day it is just software/capture/modelling?
  13. The Diamond - Sutton in Ashfield. A great live music venue with a lovely family feel to the whole thing. It was an early Sunday afternoon gig but there were still 70+ Cheap Trick fans in attendance despite a £10-£12 entry fee. Taxman.mp4
  14. Bad idea to make assumptions but... as there are a pair of XLR sockets in situ I'd be looking to unplug that one and plug my own L/R XLR>XLR outs from the desk. However as assumptions ca make and a55 of you I'd be prepared to take that lead from an Aux out.
  15. Output from the CQ mixer to your IEM transmitter, to your receiver/IEM... yes. All mixing for your output done via the app.
  16. HOW many steps?
  17. 2nd hand Schroeder 212
  18. 2 weeks away but at the moment, our Southern most gig... and a chance to hear the chiming (distorted) overtones of a 12 string bass played as homage to the pioneer: Tom Petersson! Oh and an early start (16:00) so an early finish!
  19. INXS UK playing Newcastle City Hall, Christmas Rocks 2025 with a guest vocalist; Jen from Alanis - Jagged Little Pill. WhatsApp Video 2025-12-29 at 9.21.04 PM.mp4
  20. I'm not saying 2.4Ghz doesn't work, there are 1000's of regular gigging musicians using systems on 2.4 and many rarely have an issue but when I was using 2.4 I was plagued with drop outs; I put it down to our desk being 2.4, everyone else in the band using 2.4 AND most of the club/pub systems had stuff running at 2.4. As soon as I changed to the 5.Ghz range (in fact the MiPro system) I got zero drop out, the downside is that the range is reduced but I've never had a problem as most stages are quite open with no major obstructions. As a side note, today I'm off to do a multiband 4 day theatre gig and the techs requested to know in advance who was using what radio/IEM gear and on what frequencies bands.
  21. Personally if you are only a few feet away from a given transmitter point and unlikely to be moving around much, I'd be looking at being wired. If it must be wireless, I'd be going 5Ghz rather than 2.4; 2.4 can be congested and you have quite a few devices.
  22. Things such as this are often lauded as absolute bargains etc... yet nobody pulled the trigger and it is relisted. LOL From the lack of bids (zero), it clearly isn't a bargain and needs to be cheaper; how much cheaper will dictate its true 'value' but not a bargain if absolutely nobody is prepared to drive to Bristol to buy it..
  23. Well there you go, that perfectly demonstrates 'One man's meat...'! LOL I keep the finger nails on my right/picking hand at a length whereby I can use them to affect the sound but not so long that I can't change my position and use the flesh. Sometimes I also play the string below the one I am playing almost percussively with Ghost notes (I'd never analysed or even thought about it till someone asked me how I do it), a DB technique in a way; some tutors would find this an anathema to 'proper' bass playing but it works for me.
