  • Is there a better option than velcro? Hate dealing with that stuff.

  • How about this? and for added cool use chain links?

  • Meh - i've got loads of velcro already. Might as well use it!

  • I wanted a bigger and sturdier board to the DIY wooden planks one I used to have and got myself one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B014AOXUP8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

    For under £30 I really can't fault it, works great. Only thing that doesn't really do it for me is the elastic bands system for the power supply below, but there are other ways of securing it. It's not as light as pedaltrains or even Harley Benton ones as this is steel and those are aluminium, but it's nearly half the price so if you're not going to move it around much you're golden.

    I think Gorilla might make a few different sizes which should be equally cheap compared to the size, so worth a check.

  • I looked at that one but multiple reviews mentioned the feet don't fit and some people resorted to drilling the holes out?!

  • Wasn't an issue for me, only thing I will say is that the minimum height adjustment is possibly higher that it could be, but not an issue for me and doubt anyone using it while standing up would mind as it does help with reaching the upper row to stomp

  • Barefaced are shifting some ex demo cabs, I managed to pick up this 1x12 (box can be used to 2x10) for a good price and even demo it with different speakers at their HQ. Now fitted with a Redback instead of the standard Vintage 30

  • 2x10" is such an underrated configuration, I'd be tempted to eventually get a second baffle! Great little setup there.

    In other news, looking to shift a few bits to fund a new bass!

    Korg Pitchblack pedal tuner £30 - great little tuner, true bypass, accurate and easy reading but I've been given a Polytune mini which takes up less space.

    Harley Benton PA100 £45 - a no-nonsense power attenuator which can be used as a dummy load and effectively do the job of a Torpedo Captor thanks to its line out. Takes 4, 8 or 16 ohm so can be used with any amp. I got a Captor which has a slightly less noisy signal due to its phantom-powered preamp, but I won't lie if I said I'd expected a much more marked jump in quality from the HB to the Captor when in reality they are a bit of a much of a much...

    TC Skysurfer Reverb £25 - it's actually a really nice sounding reverb but I've splashed out for the UAFX ones so realistically it won't see the pedalboard anytime soon...

    Finally, as and when the new bass will become a reality I will have a scuffed but perfectly playing Stagg Jazz Bass to move on. I bought it for £20 over 10 years ago and it's served me well for demo recording and noodling so not looking to recoup those two bob. Would love to pass it down to anyone who might have of a daughter/son looking to learn bass or knows of any community project, school or similar which can put it to good use - any input on that?

    Can/will take photos if there's any interest on the pedals. Make an offer if you think prices are off or can't/won't stretch to those. Collect N8 or Charing Cross.

  • Interested in the tuner there, which model Pitchblack is it? There seem to be quite a few.

    I love my Barefaced bass cab. Just wish I had space/an excuse for a guitar cab like that. Looks very good.

  • It's the OG Pitchblack, like this one.

  • Harley Benton PA100 £45 - posted?

  • Was on the fence over whether it was going to be 40 or 45, so go on then!

  • Nice one! DM'd you

  • Great. Reckon it should just about fit on my board. Will DM.

  • 6th Jan 88.4kg
    15th Jan 85.7kg

  • Have you sold a pedal?

  • There's a joke about heavy riffs in here somewhere

  • For the Pat Finnerty fans...

    Spotted a Bald as Shit hat on the train into work today. If he exits at the same station as me I'll walk past him with a whispered "Beato"

  • Having lightened the gear cupboard of two pieces as per above, I shelled out all of £4 of my own hard earned cash to buy one of those Harley Benton '51 P Bass clones in Fiesta Red to replace the Stagg J Bass.

    Looking forward to seeing if the hype is real!

  • Please keep us updated. Beato bandit still at large.

  • Nice, some pics please when it arrives!

  • Sneak Peek from the ad...

  • Sadly, he was still on the train as I left.

  • Does anyone know an app that I can load existing tab sheets into then scroll through using a page turner?

  • Just bit the bullet and bought four matched KT88s and two matched 12AX7s for that old Vase amp.

    From Ali Express!

    Will report back. 🙃
