    [quote name='lucky' timestamp='1399465672' post='2444469'] my new toy, courtesy of cash converters [/quote] The one by the university tram stop? Saw that beauty in the window every day on the way to work.

    My utter hatred of driving is the only thing stopping me buying this
  3. GarethFlatlands
    Are you after any trades or is it sale only?
  4. GarethFlatlands
    Hatebeak. Confirmed.

    Congrats Si! I put my original bid back on the Hummingbird but forgot to keep my eye on it. Oops. I'm probably going to just give a $10 donation, it all helps.

    Bidding is up and running again for the re-listed pedals! [url="https://reverb.com/shop/circuitstocurecancer"]https://reverb.com/shop/circuitstocurecancer[/url]

    I've offered to have my pedal re-listed, it seems unfair the charity and people waiting to bid missed out.
  8. GarethFlatlands
    Well I've already paid but I'm happy if it needs to go back up with a refund. It is for charridee. Edit - Just seen Sibobs post, it sucks that it's ended at the "wrong" time and people waiting missed out. I hope it wasn't anything that you guys had GAS for for a long time.

    [quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1400428145' post='2453713'] Have all the auctions just ended 8~hours early? or is that my browser messing up? [/quote] Nope, it had 14 hours left when I posted at 10am and it's now telling me I won. Odd.

    Put a bid in and will have to keep my eye on the auctions, maybe fire off a bid before I go to bed and hope for the best. Current bid is on an Earthquaker trem and I've got my eye on a nice looking 8 stage phaser as a backup.

    [quote name='Davebassics' timestamp='1399568617' post='2445473'] Would be useful when it comes to multi layered PCBs with annoying ground planes that suck the heat away. My experience with maplins soldering irons has been varied. I had one were the handle melted and another where the tips corroded within a week. My first soldering iron from maplins lasted me 4 years and costed £3.99. Those were the days! [/quote] Likewise, my £20 (on sale) heat adjustable one died after less than 10 hours of use and my £5 blue plastic one still works fine.

    For sale/trade Subdecay Flying Tomato fuzz. Fantastic sounding fuzz with a few neat features, such as external bass/treble controls, an input buffer meaning the pedal can take active or passive pickups and works anywhere in the signal chain and a bias control for that spluttery 'velcro' fuzz sound. Sadly underused since I got it and I'm having a clearout so this is going. Comes with the box as pictured. Pedal is in good condition apart from the front where you can see the lettering is coming off. I don't really have any trades in mind at the moment but you can ask! Asking for £50 + P&P. Official instruction manual here. [url="http://subdecay.com/manuals/ft2.pdf"]http://subdecay.com/manuals/ft2.pdf[/url]

    He was very good, I didn't know a huge amount of his back catalogue which probably helped as he essentially just played 1 45 minute song and then an encore which might have annoyed people hoping for a 'best of' set. Both he and his band were indeed on top form. I was blown away by what a great, non-flashy player he is. Any suggestions on where to start with listening to his recorded output?
  14. GarethFlatlands
    A friend mentioned it a while ago and I completely forgot about it... until Monday where he said he'd bought me a ticket and forgot to mention it! So tomorrow after work, we're hitting the pub for food and then watching him after that. Really looking forward to it, I'm not that familiar with his material but I like what I've heard and I'll let you all know how he was.

    You're looking at a couple of grand for a top of the range Bb trumpet, the model I got is around £600 new. So yeah, not cheap.
  16. GarethFlatlands
    Watching a couple of videos, you can tell the difference but they still sound pretty good to me. I think you'd be lucky to find a good brass trombone for that money. I got my Bach trumpet for £40 but that was bargain of the century as far as I'm concerned!
  17. GarethFlatlands
    Instant brass GAS. Although it's not made of brass. You know what I mean. Actually very tempted by one of these, purely out of interest to see if trumpet technique will carry over.

    [quote name='Me And My Bass' timestamp='1396349435' post='2412488'] Design - popular classy Scottish drink made by monks in Devon! [/quote] Ah, wreck the hoose juice. Nice! Incidentally, I tried bucky for the first time ever in your home city of Glasgow.

    Not sure if you'd class Sheffield as near Notts but Rich Tone music's website says they have them in stock.

    [quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1395518866' post='2403378'] My other 'arf is a cellist so I'm used to hear her music drifting through the house. Her Elgar Cello Concerto ('67) is perhaps what she is most famous for and most Cellists seem to feel 'unworthy' to try to better it. [/quote] That's very cool, there's 2 string players in the flat downstairs and they occasionally have other players round for practice. They usually practice short sections but when they play full pieces, alone or as a group they're incredibly good. I sometimes just put a wildlife documentary on TV, mute it and listen to them play. Makes me embarrassed to play my trumpet in my room as I'm terrible!
  22. GarethFlatlands
    Damn it Tom, you know how I love my Rat distortion! Any idea on the pricing for the TK's and word on switching options?
  23. GarethFlatlands
    My folks didn't listen to anything too out there, a lot of regular stuff from the 60's through to the 80's. Some of it I've never got on with and still don't some that they got right and I've ended up listening to myself including Kate Bush, The Police, Paul Simon and Pink Floyd. I actually made a Spotify playlist called 'Songs from my parents cars' which I put on when I want to feel a bit nostalgic, though I've left out the stuff I wasn't too fond of!

    [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1389214025' post='2331548'] There is likely to be lots of girls there, so try and work out what they like the most and then play that. [/quote] If we cared about pulling girls, we'd be guitarists

    I think if you have a Line 6 M5 pedal but no expression pedal then you can just select the frequency with the control. Plenty of models to choose from too so it might be worth a look, although a nice analogue pedal would probably sound better in the long run,
