Just to say that I bought this. Its just turned up. Lightweight, folds down to almost nothing, yet very sturdy! I like it so much Im going to buy another one! :) If anyone is going to buy similar I would just say make sure you dont buy the acoustic guitar version- they look very similar and I...

Fantastic - thanks guys. I did read reviews about some lightweight guitar stand where people said - due to them being lightweight - the guitar wasnt very stable and the plastic would warp/stretch under the weight of the guitar. Ill have a look at all the ones above. Thanks v much!

Hi, Im looking for a decent lightweight, foldable guitar stand/s that I can put my guitar and bass into for gigs and rehearsals. Ideally a stand that can fold and fit into a gig bag. Does anyone have any recommendations? Being lightweight, Im not expecting something totally solid, but something...

Thanks guys. TBH, we havnt fully tested the loop/drummer hting seriously. I took my loop pedal to a jam session and got the loop going and he kept going out of time. I didnt know whether it was my loop that I had messed up, or his drumming. I thought may be becuase he was finding it hard to hear...

Hi guys Id play bass and a little guitar. I have a drummer that I jam with. What Id like to do is play some bass and get that looping, then jam guitar over the top of it. Ive tried this before, but the drummer goes out of time with the bass. Has anyone else tried this? Should the drummer get...

OK, Ive just been reading what send/return effect loop is. So - as @Nebadon2000 says - I could use the effects loop return? Its not likely to blow anything up is it? (Ive just bought the amp!)

Yes, its for rehearsal, but its much easier for me to control if its coming out of my amp (because Im stood next to it). Can I use the Return Effect port? (Ive never use send/return effects. Not actually sure what these do)

Yes, it has a headphone jack. Ive also just found a headphone to guitar jack adaptor. :) Does it have to go into the normal guitar input? I dont see another input on the amp. Ideally Id like to be able to have the phone and guitar plugged in at the same time.

Hi Ive got a Markbass CMD 102 P IV. At rehearsals its useful to listen to songs on my iphone. Am I able to plug my phone into my amp? Would I go into the input socket? Thanks

Fantastic - thanks all! Lots of useful solutions here. I will read this later and digest! :)

Hi guys, What do you use for recording rehearsals? At the moment I just use teh default app on my phone. I then have to wait til I get home and go through 3 hours of crap to cut out the few productive bits and then post it for the others. Is there a better app to use? Perhaps one that...

Sorry for late reply, Ive been away. Its very odd. I started practising at home standing up (rather than sitting down which is whaat I would normally do). Ive also adjusted the strap so the guitar sits a bit higher. Not uncomfrtably high, and certainly not too low! Its definately a 'mental...

Hi guys I seem to have developed a very odd issue. Ive been playing live for years with no issue. But over the past year - whenever I play live - my fingers go to jelly! Its as if I have no fine-control over them; and I have to play the remaining songs using pretty much just root notes! I...

OK, Ive decided to buy either: CMD 102P IV – Markbass MB58R CMD 102 PURE – Markbass They both cost the same, and it looks like they pretty much the same spec apart from the case. Can you see any benefits one would have over the other? The mb58r has more space between the speakers. If I got the...

OK, so I bought the Irig 2 and have spent 2 hours trying to get it to play it to work on Windows. It seems to refuse to. Has anyone else had any luck?
