Do you have any specifics by any chance? Tried Google but nothing so far...

Lamas & Papas

Ha - yes - I thought this was a given that you can't just plug headphones into something without a headphone preamp. I can't understand why anyone would try to plug headphones into an aux out!

It's opened up some new names to me so that's good. As with all "best" lists, it's highly subjective and causes lots of thought / discussion / arguments / flame wars. I was surprised The Pretty Reckless didn't have an entry but as somebody posted earlier "twas ever so". Personally speaking I'd love to get a full dump of all the votes and the demographics behind the voters. I didn't see the voting page at all so no idea what information was requested by Rayo but this is a goldmine for them as they get told clearly what music to play and in which proportions. They can hit their target audience pretty quickly without spending lots on market research. This was probably the aim all along 😁

Pretty wild but I have to ssy it looks a bit like a migraine! Glad the colours aren't cyan and magenta!

They sell different grades if you poke around you can find the type and quality you need.

Did you receive any sort of refund from Andertons; I'm assuming the next day delivery cost you more?

And you never know you could end up in a folk/funk fusion power trio ...

Dosh delivered 😄 SUGGESTION: As some of us might be able to come down on Saturday evening. Is there a Basschatter playing a gig nearby on the 10th somewhere near affordable accommodation (e.g. a Travelodge)? Would be good to make the bash into a mini break.

Awesome things. Is there a noticeable difference between maple and rosewood fingerboards?

I don't disagree regarding the bands you've mentioned. I'm a big Primus fan and bought LC's Vivid on day one, but have any of them written anything better than Stargazer, Stairway to Heaven or Bohemian Rhapsody? I think not. It was mentioned earlier that voters had up to 3 (I think) choices. It really doesn't explain how a lot of the very weak material got in at all. I mean Teenage Kicks - WTF? No Greta Van Fleet I notice 😂. No Blackberry Smoke. No Zappa either, which is criminal given what is in there. My next gigs are Kurt Elling at Ronnie Scott's followed by The Aristocrats. Music is the best!

I bought mine this week - traded in cash plus my Stomp XL that’s probably done 100+ gigs with me in the last year so it’s a bit of a leap of faith, but I have to say it’s knocked my socks off - everything about it is fantastic. I hope over time it’s going to get a larger array FX as I did used to love going through the Stomp and finding some random drive or delay etc that I’d never looked at before that suddenly nailed a sound for me, and it’s not really going to be the case as much on this as there’s not huge amounts of stuff on there in comparison, although if you take the guitar stuff off the Stomp and just count Bass stuff they’re probably pretty comparable Game changer for me has been the NAM player - found some cracking captures on Tone3000, my favourite being the Kasleder Albatross Fuzz! https://www.tone3000.com/tones/kasleder-albatross-30490 Also the DCX Bass: https://www.tone3000.com/tones/origin-effects-dcx-bass-28027 And I’ve been liking the B-Side Gain from the Jad Freer Capo: https://www.tone3000.com/tones/jad-freer-capo-31244 Any suggestions of other NAM captures to look out for would be very welcome. The Alabatross fuzz has some beautiful low gain fuzz settings, which if you save it as a NAM Pedal (rather than Amp or Misc) you get a blend control available so you can tweak it to give you a really sweet always on low gain fuzz tone, I’ve combined it with a LPF for an easy to switch on ‘vintage tone rolled off’ sound. I did similar on the Stomp, but this sounds SO much better

Hurt So Bad - Linda Ronstadt

That’s a bit of an unfair generalisation. I often listen to planet rock ( the gambling ads do my nut in though) but I’m just as likely to listen to 6music or give something new a try.

There's certainly nothing wrong with modern music, bands now are as good as they've ever been. Its the dinosaurs who listen to Planet Rock who just won't listen to bands they don't know. Its their loss, there's a whole heap of new music they'd probably love if they were more open minded. Discovering new bands is something I love, finding they have a couple albums for me to check out and enjoy and hear new, good stuff. I love Sabbath, they've probably influenced every band I love but Id probably only put one of their songs in my top 10.
