Standards may be out the window! I'm doing my best - will be buying a pickup ahead of time... I’d give you a pass then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you buy a friend/wife/husband/partner some nice bass bits as a generous gift. If they don’t use them and you just happen to have a bass that could be improved by the unused parts, then you could borrow them without having to buy any additional parts. Not only would you still be in, but it prevents wastage and therefor global warming! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I bought a clip on tuner. But only because my pedal tuner died. Still in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted Saturday at 22:29 Share Posted Saturday at 22:29 @neepheid I'm not a member of the legal profession but I'm struggling to see how buying tuners would not be a breach of the rules. I myself have been a very good boy. I've flogged a fair bit and have only bought strings all year. Nevertheless, I can see a fiver coming my way for Christmas.

"Exceptions - direct replacement (or as near as possible) of faulty/stolen gear." - if the tuners are faulty it would be legitimate to replace them. Probably.

Richard R Posted Saturday at 22:34 Share Posted Saturday at 22:34 I dithered about buying the Warwick Alien 5 string that was posted in the marketplace last week, and now it's sold. So I'm still in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it, once you get the sensible use case of being able to walk out front to check the live mix, you can go have fun. A heap of folk being sticks in the mud and staying through in the lounge bar? Go and annoy them! I once went on a walkabout round the entire bar for a laugh. People listen with their eyes... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, same here. Even better when you can get round behind a group of people and take them by surprise. I also don't like having a lead decide to wrap itself around my feet, or treading on leads, so I went wireless for everything - rehearsals, gigs, open mics. Most of the time I use a Lekato WS-50 or WS-90 - 5.8GHz, dongles each end, good battery life, cheap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shelled out for a Shure GLXD16+. If it arrives when Gear4Music say it will - not always a given - it'll have its first outing at next weekend's gigs. Though I'll be taking cables along, just in case... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
