  1. I've got a desk with a multi channel Firewire out and an iMac with a Firewire socket. So I use that. The iMac just over 8 years old and is head into obsolescence, so will be replaced once Apple update the range. I guess I'll try and buy a TB to FW adapter then.
  2. If you have a continuity setting on the multimeter. The centre pins are the common terminals, so one probe on one of those. pick and end for the other probe. test the continuity. Swap the probe to the other end and test again. Then do the other side...
  3. Does it not say on the side? Most, if not all, of the toggle switches I have it stamped on one side
  4. Listening to Laibach - The Sound of Music. Released today.
  5. of course, you may find yourself falling into the modular synth black hole like I did. Started with an Arturia MiniBrute, then a Moog Mother 32, then a Make Noise 0-Coast. Now I've nearly filled 3 19" racks with modules...
  6. I wouldn't go as far as saying it was Tandy 😂, it's just too colourful for me. But it's the sound that counts. Have you seen the sonicstate review on youtube?
  7. I've been looking about to see if there's any deals going on modular synth modules. Nothing great about, maybe £20 off some stuff. I was hoping somewhere would be doing a nice deal on a Moog DFAM. But fortunately, for my credit card, there's nothing about. The Moog Grandmother sounds quite nice, but I'm not into the looks.
  8. No, that's a step too far for me. Solid purple or pink would have been amazing. But animal print... can't do it...
  9. I'm not normally one for non solid colour finishes. But this is bloody lovely!
  10. Fixed for you. I'm currently chasing down a parcel that was out for delivery on Monday...
  11. That Kramer is a thing of beauty!
  12. Just walked by my Aria Pro II SB Black n Gold. It put a big grin on my face.
    That's all... thanks.

      Fab Basses, mine was stolen in 1992... Could never find another, and by the time they reissued them, I was a dyed in the wool Fender guy.

      I'm taking mine to the grave/furnace!

      It's a great feeling, when a bass has that effect on you. Very pleased for you sir :)

  13. A few months back I had the same sort of thing. After years of using D'Addarios I decided to try Rotos again. The E was like an old rubber band. Rotosound's response was "yeah, larger gauge strings are prone to that sort of thing. But we'll send you a replacement" 2 weeks later an E string arrived. Put it on the bass, it was dead. So I ordered some D'addarios...
  14. I had a Mono Strap a few years back* and didn't really get on with it. (*10 years back in fact. I was trying to replace the 4" leather strap back then. Even though I wasn't vegan. I bought it from Bass Direct, and was told I was putting it on bass that didn't really need it... 😆 But that's a whole other thread...)
  15. I've had a 4" wide soft leather strap, off ebay, for about 10 years. It's the only strap for basses I have and I'd like another 1, or 2, that similar. But being vegan now I don't want leather.
  16. My wife got me this for my birthday. A soldering and rework station. I have to say, I’m impressed. The ability to desolder smd ICs in a couple of seconds is fantastic!
  17. Yeah, I can already see the flaw with this... 😆
  18. An inventory? Now there's a good idea!
  19. I may have, but I'm not home until Saturday morning.
  20. Having a week away in Dorset. Place says it has free wifi. Except 4 of the 5 hubs you can connect to don't have an internet connection.

    So everyone is using the one that works and it's slower than 1990s dial up...

      Burns-bass I am enjoying the holiday, but after walking 6-7 miles walking along beaches, stooped over, and occasionally bashing rocks, fossil hunting with 2 kids in tow. I was hoping to relax watching some films on Netflix.

      This morning I remembered I can use the BT Open wifi side of the hubs. Whilst not broadband speeds it's still 9 times faster than using the other side...

       

  21. I definitely walked up some stairs when I went 29 years ago. None in the Bass Centre though, but the lifts were out of action in Wapping Tube station...
  22. well this thread isn't what I expected... Discreet is going to be disappointed..
  23. I'd rather buy from the artist/label if I can to ensure as much money as possible goes to the artist. Not £0.00.0000000346 per play Convenience for the consumer means flip all if artists can't earn enough to make more music...
