[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1427372761' post='2729455'] Still didn't work for me. I tried 'basschat avatar' as well, but this turns up a lot of men in baseball caps holding up fish. [/quote] I've just tried "basschat avatar" and got the bassball cap fishers...... and you! 7[sup]th[/sup] on the first row!

Due to me being incapable of not messing with things..... even if they work...... I decided to put the above blender into my Joyo American Sound pedal. The pedal isn't true bypass which caused a lot of head scratching to begin with but, as the American Sound is an 'always on' pedal for me, I took the footswitch out and un-soldered the plastic board-mounted jack sockets, and then soldered send and return leads to the places where the jack-socket tips made their connection to the circuit board. I needed to put a jumper wire (little white loop at the bottom of the circuit board) to get round the not true-bypass signal in. If you're temped to do the same thing, then after de-soldering the foot switch you're left with 6 empty connections. Going from left to right, 1&2 are LED connections (I wired the LED direct to the 9V in as it's always on), then jumper 3&5 (signal in) and jumper 4&6 (signal out). There's no 4&6 jumper wire on mine 'cos I trashed the signal out connection point trace when removing the out jack socket. My signal out is taken directly off hole #4. I also jumpered the 'battery earth switch' at the input jack where the stereo socket makes the connection with the input jack sleeve.

That is a work of art - it's lovely.

I'd only be worried if Parcelforce are delivering it!

oooo - that's good. Thanks for posting it.

This is the above Split'n'Blend sqeezed in to an always on 1950a enclosure.....

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1427276687' post='2728065'] I cod have sworn I saw Alex Salmon eating there recently, complete with kipper tie and ray-bans. Me thought, "minnows who that is: it's that Scottish Salmon chap. Looks a bit pike-y in that getup." The band was good though: it was Walter Trout. [/quote] Was he support for Stickelback?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1427278873' post='2728114'] Probably a stupid question, but did you try plugging it into a different power socket? [/quote] Not stupid at all - it was the third thing I did after an on/off/on/off/on session, and a replacement kettle lead. There's not an externally accessible fuse either.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1427278094' post='2728095'] Wheres your gig? I'm sure someone local could lend you something [/quote] It's in Newbury. However; I've put the 'cleanest' set of pre-amp and 6L6 valves I've got into my modded DIY Tweed Deluxe and it's got some serious heft through my extenson cab. I'll D.I. a smidge through the P.A. and I should be able to busk it. We're not a loud band.

They're collecting it today for a warrenty repair. Time to sort something out for Saturday. Ho-hum.

I switched on my BG250 this morning to be greeted by......... nothing. Not a beep, burp, cheep or chirp. Just silence and no LEDs. It's only had bedroom use and one rehearsal since the middle of Feb. I've tried the usual on/off/on, different power leads etc.... but only a stony silence. I've got a gig Saturday and this amp replaced my MAG300 which I haven't mended yet. eek! Sounds like the coffee's finished brewing - time to see how good GAK's customer service is.

"Totally unique". It's either unique or it isn't. It can't be a bit unique. "It's the exception that proves the rule". What????? It started as "It's the exceptional case that tests the rule" and has ended up as the opposite.

Saturday at St. Bart's School in Newbury at their ball. We've been asked to provide 'old time' dance music, so at the last rehearsal our singer worked out the BPM of some of our 'old' songs, looked in her 'Ballroom Dancing For Beginners', and has some of our set-list labelled 'quickstep', 'foxtrot', 'two-step' etc so they can be introduced as such. We're playing for 2½ hours in total.... so it's going to be a long night.

Good lookin' bass - nice one!

Are the Line 6 Otto filters any good? They're £19 at Dolphin Music [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/guitars/effects-fx-pedals/12227-line-6-otto-filter-pedal/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=base&gclid=CjwKEAjwlsSoBRDoid2ihqnjjlISJABZoG9-giOkV8igB-BSK0jtsXFAJl6_7F8kk8StYooFZXV4JhoCPa_w_wcB"]here[/url].

Great looking bass.

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1427115468' post='2725869'] You do remember it. Aye it was carnage. For those who don't remember, a newbie asked if Laughing Cow or Philadelphia Light was best for metal. Within 48 hours, all hell broke loose -- someone took out a contract on Ped, three fake Rickenbackers were sold, there was an armed siege in Doncaster, Nigel swore a lot and threatened to leave... madness, I tells ya. [/quote] It made the news....

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1427113362' post='2725836'] Pah. We're onto spreadable cheese now. This is where the thread [i]really[/i] gets nasty. Anyone remember the Laughing Cow Flame Wars of 2006? [/quote] Is that the one that led to the Great DairyLea Migration of 2007? Ah! the foolishness.

I use [url="http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/split-n-blend.html"]this[/url] one.

[quote name='Lucasade' timestamp='1426549324' post='2719321'] ....and not too insane rent wise. I'm still researching, but at the moment I'm looking at towns that are a short train ride to London, places like Amersham and Beaconsfield.... [/quote] I'm afraid that those two are mutually exclusive. If you're a short train ride from London then the rents are insane! (I live in Wendover - a short train ride from London.)

Yep - I've been very impressed with them, too. They'll price-match Thomann with a phone call and deliver the next day!

ooooo thanks - that looks really good.

This is my OCD clone with a split'n'blend control added where the battery used to go. 'Tis a bit scruffy 'cos it's the third enclosure that it's been in.
