Cold Gin - Kiss

Nice! I hope there is some softening of the break angle at the nut. Your strings might not like a sharp transition.

Your G string is all yours.

My BB P34 was 4.33 kg.

I like these - it's good to see a builder with the guts to use their own designs. The three models appear to be the same apart from the body shape - the offset NQ appeals to me, the other two do look a bit neck-divey... I'd quite like to see that in confetti pink with a pearl scratchplate - in fact I'd quite like to see pics of a real one in any finish - I'm pretty sure the pics on the site are all digital renders.

Simple but with a lot of thought going into it. Peterson Strobostomp HD - Mojohand Cream Pie - Beta MK1 - Subdecay Noise Theory - Bright Onion Patchbay - Darkglass Element. This was basically my gigging rig until I got the Anagram, it’s just so blissfully simple, sounds great, easy to dial in, everything stacks. I have an effects loop where I can drop a filter or modulation after the noise theory and any other gain or octave pedals just slot in before the board. Gigrig Generator into a Cioks 4 gives me the ability to power the board with IEC or Usb C, also I can use the power out of the Peterson to power anything I add in the patchbay. Board is also tall enough that if I ever wanted to add something, the Element fits underneath. Very pleased with how this has turned out.

@thisisswanbon what I did for my NAMs other than capture a load of studio gear (that doesn’t have any controls) is dialled in my tone on my favourite piece of equipment, captured that and now I just have a single block I drop in and am ready to go.

I play 5 string basses mainly and used all the strings when playing in a function band (I resisted 5 string basses until the keyboard player said "you wouldn't need to change bass mid set if you had a 5" lightbulb moment 😄). Now I'm in a rock band I think in 2 songs I use the B string and never use the G string at all. I could go back to a 4 string and occasionally do in rehearsals but I'm scared I'd have to sell my lovely 5s. Could you use the G string for your other passion @SteveXFR ? Are G strings any good as brake/gear cables? 😄

You would want it to give it the note to aim at for the next bar so not actually play any of your notes as you would be playing a bar ahead of the tune. Not so lazy if you can pull that off.

Not sure how I’d cope without G strings….

It’s the same shape as their guitar headstocks which they’ve been doing for years as far as I can see

Two of the three new songs that we rehearsed today are in the list. 35 songs, of which 10 were in the list, set to rise to 38/12.

How many dB attenuation can I get with one Jelly Belly? Will two Jelly Beans double the attenuation?

For me it's more that I don't like the sensation of playing on the string closest to the floor whatever it's tuned to; if I play a 6 I'll find myself happily incorporating the G which I'd normally avoid on a 4 or 5. As it stands I play 5s which I mostly treat as BEAD 4s, but I can't actually use one of those because I treat them as 3s.
