  1. A few months ago I was in an accident and my insurance just paid out. I have "pulled the trigger" on this duo. There is no logic to these purchases WHATSOEVER beyond the fact that after 53wks solid without a week off, the whole lockdown thing and then the accident, I just thought life's too short. Hopefully it should all be with me by early next week. Two weeks ago I was frantically trying to raise money for some impending studio costs and (momentarily) I am tripping over cash. 😻
  2. Pleased you like it. We're pleased with how it came out and all seem very focussed on things at the moment.
  3. Most of my bands are fairly active, leaping around the stage, jumping off drum risers etc - no mean feat when you consider we are all late 40s / early 50s. I do a lot of cardio to make it look credible. It usually gets mentioned in reviews. Bringing us crashing down to earth though, I recall doing a video shoot circa 2016 with an old band and when the singer saw the rough edit he messaged the band to say it looked good but added that we'd offered "a masterclass in Dad dancing!"
  4. He's actually a really well respected player but each to their own. If it doesn't meet the criteria for you, fine. I was just replying to the original post to say we thought it exceeded all expectations. I'm sure other opinions on other products will come along.
  5. A cautious estimate. I worried about that but Nick the guitarist has been a studio engineer for 35 years and has the hearing of a bat - he can't hear anything.
  6. I know nothing about such things but bought a unit last year which packed up within a year! I was looking to source a cheap replacement and found this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07L5B64RG/ref=cm_sw_r_em_api_i_.H1xFbQS17RT8 My guitarist who is a professional sound engineer (and locally highly regarded) liked it so much he bought one too. I've since had others message me and buy one so I assume it must be reasonable. Not the sturdiest looking thing but if you look after kit, it shouldn't be a problem.
  7. Although 2020 means you don't get a nice 7" bag and change from Woolworths! We're the only one of my bands that seem to have thrived during 2020 thanks to some good use of the internet and some creative videos. "Echo Road (Radio Edit)" is the new single from our critically acclaimed album "Human Traffic and is backed with a cover of the Lords of the New Church classic "Russian Roulette". Forgive the shameless plug. https://vivelerock.net/dissidents-on-the-road/
  8. Moos3h bought my Olp bass in a smooth transaction, friendly comms & a textbook exchange at an Esso garage whilst both on work calls!

    Lawrence demonstrated his fine taste in retro automobile vegan straps by buying one from me! Prompt payment, friendly comms - all in the spirit of what makes Basschat a great community.
  10. Sack the chef then @Thunderbird. It's 2020 and there's more variety than ever before, be it for someone who wants to try something new through to the most hardcore vegan. Personally I've never tried eating musical equipment but then I've always found Basschat to be a pretty non-judgemental place.
  11. Dave demonstrated his cool and classy tastes in buying one of my vegan Couch Straps. Quick payment, friendly comms - textbook Basschat transaction!
  12. The yellow one on the right and the beige one on the left are for sale, the one in the middle has now sold.
  13. I've been incredibly lazy not bumping this thread but the whole Covid-19 thing put me off selling. Beckoning studio costs mean I need to pull my finger out. As above really.

  16. I sold a few of these on here before so here's the final remaining straps of my collection of hand made American straps made from vintage car upholstery vinyl by Couch in the USA. Only selling as my knackered shoulder now means I have to take a wider strap after 32 years of appalling low slung technique! The shortest length hole to hole is 100cm and they go very long indeed! I'm 6ft 3", play low and there is still room to go lower if you have full on ape like arms! Equally you can play at aa sensible height too! All in great condition and all 2" wide / very comfy. With import taxes and delivery these normally sell for about £60 each for the Racer X ones with the beige car seat belt one being nearer £40. I'm offering them at £30 each including UK delivery and £20 for the beige one. These are all 100% vegan / cruelty free and made from recycled American automobile interiors. As used by everyone from Green Day to Queen to Cheap Trick, the Velvet Underground and, um, Beyonce!?
  17. Welcome to the Ric owners Club! I love my 4003s and use it all the time at present. I had a 4003 mapleglo back around 2009 but sold it on after a gig and recording session. Always regretted that so when I found a competitively priced 4003s a couple of years ago, I snapped it up! This one has recorded a whole album and done quite a few shows up until lockdown. It's about to record a new album and goes back out live at the end of the month. As you can see like @PigBass I too recommend removing the cover and getting the bezel fitted.
  18. I found the trouble with small pedalboards is that I get it set up and then just think "I'll add an additional pedal!". Personally I probably wouldn't bother with two as they'd fit in a case / gig bag but it's your gig so the pb3 would work well as it is low cost and sturdy.
