@uk_lefty I guess there's often going to be a bit of steep learning curve initially with a new multi-fx. I think having got mine after getting up to speed on the GT1000 Core, it was very familiar territory for me. Picking up your Qs in turn: 1. There's two main 'global' fx banks: "preset" and "user" - you should obvs feel at liberty to overwrite any in the user bank and order them how you like there 2. The PEQ block is my starting point for EQ and you can select what frequencies you want to cut / boost - so for me a low cut combined with a +3db boost at 125Hz works well for a meaty low end that's not boomy. 3. Recommend spending a bit of time getting up to speed on out how to assign controls to select what parameter of which effect block you want to trigger. This opens up so many fab possibilities. What you're looking to do to get Channel 1 with an option to "mix in" channel 2 would simply require you to e.g. assign Cntrl 1 --> divide block to switch it from operating as single-path (A) to dual-path I'm particularly liking using the expression pedal to smoothly increase the gain on an amp block to go from mild overdrive to fuzz, whilst simultaneously reducing the output level so the patch level stays constant. All done by parameter assignment. It's a very powerful tool at your disposal! 4. I'm not using a vast number of effects many 8 or so including pitch shift. So it's not difficult to scroll through with the up/down foot buttons. For most patches I have it set it 'clean' on one parallel path and my particular fx on the other path which I trigger using the Ctrl button. And then variations of an fx patch (e.g. tremolo rate or amount of drive) using the expression pedal. I've got a couple of pitch shift patches set to +1/-1 semi as the patch options and +2/-2 semis, plus separate ones for octavers ("poly octave" for octave down and "overtone" for octave up) Hope that helps. Good luck!

I had a Digbeth 500 like yours and looked at the 212 matching cab but 30 kg in this day and age is a no from me but glad you like yours.

Well done selling out the Bungalow. Nice one @jezzaboy Look forward to seeing some pics of the new P bass when it arrives. Dave

... but someone still decided to Photoshop that original photo, probably trying to convince people that Jaco also has been seen playing a 4-string Fender: 😄

Played the Bungalow in my home town of Paisley last night. Weather was a bit miserable and we weren`t sure how many tickets we had sold prior to the gig. With pre sales and on the door we sold it out so the venue and us were well happy. It`s a great small venue, drink isn`t too expensive and Kev the soundman is a cool guy who used to work in the Hard Rock Cafe in Glasgow, one song and the soundcheck was done. I used my Greco P bass prob for the last time live as I have a US P coming next week. The only downside to the gig is I had done my ligament in my knee and the rhythm guitarist had one of his many knee op`s on Xmas eve so I had to sit down at one point whilst he stayed standing for the whole gig, both our knees are bloomin sore today but we got the gig done.

I'd love to. But suffering Post - Christmas bank account 💰 plus I need to settle up with the Tax Man before the end of this month before I can fork out on any more 🎸 I'm certainly in the market for a 5 string Spector (I already have a 4) and just curious to know how much the seller was looking for 🤔 Many thanks for the offer though.

Found what I was imagining...

Jaco only needed 6... (and no, it's not AI!)

That's some bass, Man. Enjoy 🤓 👍And thanks for posting the photo.

I'm not your wife...

It was interesting to compare it to my American Original Jazz - the Original's Pure Vintage 64's are meant to be overwound, so you'd generally expect a lot less output compared to the modern basses, but the Original is much more present and punchy.

Count me in for tier 1! Making a commitment to focus on 1 bass, just play and not think too much about gear anymore. 🤞 Need to abstain haha

U5. Nice.

Im Jaco and so is my wife

If you’d heard the playing - you’d understand he was taking the piss 😆

hope I live closer to York.. Can't bear to order an 500+ insultment without laying hands on it
