  1. I thought I needed this, but I don't... I just wanted to buy another pedal, so here it is. Great condition, a couple of tiny chips on it. Complete with original box, original instructions and the original battery which is still wrapped in the original cellophane. Threshold, Decay and Mode controls, Send -> Return loop to keep your noisy pedals in, 9V output... works perfectly, does exactly what it's supposed to, nice piece of kit, I just don't need it. £50 Posted, £45 collected from Bewdley, Worcestershire. Not really looking for trades, but you can always ask - I do have a habit of acquiring things I really don't need.
  2. LAST NIGHT! The Cantina Band at The Vaults (Real Ale Bar (dog friendly)) Knowle. AGAIN. Great load in, park up next to the door behind the stage [sic], set up all good, I got to tell a new joke to the lads (too rude to repeat on a family forum such as what this one is), dep drummer (chap from my other band), singer and guitarists WAGs were in attendance, all good. The guitarist had also brought his two young daughters (last time they came, the landlady asked him to kind of keep them out of sight as they're probably too young to be in a pub, she then proceeded to get them dancing on a table, filmed it and shared it on the pub's social media. She's bonkers, but in a good way). After the unscheduled fun of two weeks ago, I was expecting the usual ambivalent punters and dispiriting reception and sure enough there weren't many there, but for some reason we all *really* enjoyed ourselves. Possibly because we were playing to a handful of friends and family so there was lots of audience interaction (basically good-natured heckling) so we ended up having a right laugh. It was the drummers birthday (28! My StingRay is older than him!) so he was presented with a cake and a rendition of Happy Birthday which he wasn't expecting and totally blew him away. Very heartwarming. The guitarist's youngest joined us to sing the last song, which was lovely - she's a budding guitarist so I hope we haven't put her off being in a band. I joined the landlady at the bar for Sex on Fire (the song!) which went down a treat, we got three encores (I think the WAGs enjoyed watching us sweat). Used the StringRay for a change (I usually use the Sterling with this lot - I definitely noticed the 'Ray sounds a lot smoother than the Sterling, especially through the many distortions) -> small board (now with pedal toppers! (which obscure the LEDs on some of the pedals 🤨)) -> amp board (Thumpinator -> VTDI (set to ROCK)) -> MB CMD121. Still getting used to using a pleccy but it does sound good on the punk numbers, especially through the Bass Soul Food. Paid, packed up, home about 1 for a pint of Aldi vintage cider. A good night!
  3. I bought a Fishman Pro EQ from Dave - he was great to deal with all the way. More top Basschatting!
  4. Just taken delivery of some of @rwillett's lovely 3D printed pedal toppers for the price of a donation - they're fab and you should buy some (by donating).
  5. Rob 3D printed and sent me some pedal toppers in exchange for a donation to the Travis wetroom fund - very generous and he was lovely to deal with. Top Basschatting!
  6. Sold Lorenz a pedalboard, he was great to deal with. Ta!
  7. Easy deal. No issues, good communication and great bass chatter’

    Trade with confidence.
    many thanks Joel  

  8. I like my AKG K92s - IIRC they were about £40
  9. It did indeed keep up with the blowers, sounded great, had some volume to spare and got lots of admiring comments which is the main thing, right? Disclaimer: I used the Sansamp VTDI in front of it, which really does elevate it - more punch and a noticeably better sound IMHO. It's no slouch on its own TBF!
  10. Me too! Great little amp and I'm sure it'll do acoustic/jazz rehearsals. I use it with a Sansamp VTDI which really gives it some oomph and brings it to life. I'm taking mine to a big band rehearsal tomorrow, hopefully it'll keep up with the 15-odd blowers... will report back!
  11. Rich sold me an XLR lead - Great comms, good item, good price, top man. Fabulous Basschattery!
  12. Sounds like a fun gig! I have nothing to offer on strings advice, but have you heard The Hot Club of Cowtown? Their album 'Continental Stomp' is one of my all time desert island favourites - the Bass player is incredible. Enjoy!
  13. I like my Markbass CMD 121P - I use it in a pretty loud rock band, it's a one handed carry and I've never been told it's too quiet... I rarely have the master volume past about 4. Used price is usually less than £500.
  14. 😍 My baby turned 30 just last week... they grow up so fast!
  15. I sold Mr OnTheFloor a pedal, he was a pleasure to deal with all the way.
