Skybone

There's the Tech 21 VTDI Deluxe in the For Sale section, six channels of VT DI. I'd add the Line6 POD Go, even though it doesn't have an XLR Out, and it's a bit over the quoted £300 budget, but second hand can come towards the budget. There's the new Zoom B2, and the B3n.

And it's exactly that we're looking at. We've had quite a few people come up after a gig and ask about merchandise, so it's about time we actually got some sorted. I really don't think a small, regional, rock originals band would sell many copies, so we're really just looking at small runs initially. If they sell well, we can get some more done as and when. Also definitely looking at getting t-shirts printed up as well, though we have different ideas as to what the design should be. Thanks all for the suggestions. 👍

No More Tears - Ozzy Ozbourne

I'm sure that here in BassChat-land, there are quite a few people with a fair bit of knowledge on this one. The band I'm in have recently finally finished getting our album sorted (inc. mastering & ISRC codes), we have two singles up on Spotify & Apple, and the album will be released on these platforms at the end of the month so I'm told. We want to get some CD's made up to sell at gigs and stuff, as well as looking at other merchandise. Does any of the BC Collective have any recommendations for UK based CD & Sleeve Duplication companies that are good and reasonable for smaller runs? I'm assuming that we're looking at a small run of numbers, maybe 100-200, colour sleeve maybe booklet etc. Any recommendations? Cheers. 👍

Doctor Beat - Gloria Estefan & the Miami Sound Machine

Future Shock - Gillan

Clockwork Angels - Rush

Kip-Win-backer? Kip-enbacker? Wingenbacker?

Oh Bondage! Up Yours! - X-Ray Spex

Seen pics of it before, and can only assume that it's a one off specifically for Mr Winger. I like it, and I'm surprised that they "got away" with it.

Did you see the ACG in the For Sale section?

They look ace, but again, slightly flawed by having 1 Vol, 1 Tone & a 3 way switch. A lot of people convert them to VVT which makes them a bit more versatile. "Night of the Living Thread"...

The Sky Is Falling and I Want My Mommy - Jello Biafra and NoMeansNo

I've tried numerous basses over the years, Ric's just "fit".

Ordered some sticks from Mr Russell. 👍

I had a few plates & TRC's off Tim for various Rockinbetter basses. Top service.

Indians - Anthrax

The Blueburst is a great finish, but I'm still hoping to get my grubby mitts on a Midnight Blue 4003. Still, Jetglo rocks. 🤘

Either way, it's a 4003, enjoy!

Sit Down - James

Reminds me a bit of the Lodestone instruments.

Precious & Grace - ZZ Top

Thanks, I know all the usual suspects do drum gear as well as guitar/bass/studio/etc. stuff, was more curious about recommendations for the more specialist drum shops. To be fair, there probably are technique issues, which only he can work out for himself on a full acoustic kit (as I'm sure we've all done on our respective instruments). He only had a few pairs of sticks, and they have been well used on the electronic kit, and so may not last too well when you introduce proper cymbal edges. Bought him some more in the week, so that should keep him going for a little while.

My son's had an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit for a while, and is becoming quite a good drummer. He's recently started meeting up with a guitarist at the rehearsal rooms that the band I'm in use. He's loving it. They have an acoustic kit, and you can use their cymbals and hardware as well. Unfortunately, he's now discovering the difference between an electric kit and an acoustic kit, especially the damage that they do to sticks. He's also talking about getting cymbals and a double bass drum pedal. Does anyone have any recommendations for places that sell drum gear? Thanks. 👍
