Great company to work with, Chris and Al will do their utmost to ensure that not only will you get exactly what you want but it will be a special instrument. They have access to some spectacular wood. I was close to pulling the trigger myself on something last week but I have decided on taking a different route at least for the time being. Good luck.

Maybe it's because you don't have a 2 meter high powering tower...

I'll download it today, but as it doesn't seem to work as a standalone, I guess it's quite useless, for me, at least. I like the feature that recalibrates your headphones according to their serial number. That said, I'm using IK Multimedia Arc On-Ear since day one, it's not free, but it turns (or not) a lot of headphones into a flat response, without loosing their inherent character and matching their impedance (which is the biggest issue with headphones), and it also simulates (or not) the sound of a perfect studio with (or not) legendary speakers. You can also store your headphones in the unit and once it's done, it works as an excellent audio soundcard as well as an excellent DAC and excellent headphones preamp ... totally standalone. I think the overall Arc system is the best around for home studio of high quality. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/arconear/

Victory for function over form, I feel

That's great. Just let me know

String spacing between the B and E string on my Moses neck is about 10mm and between the D and G string it's about 9mm. Other spacings are likely to be a variation of those figures but to be perfectly honest I can't provide accuracy beyond half a milimetre from the centre of a string. From the centre of the B string to the centre of the G string it's 34.6mm on my Moses neck. I'll see if I can get the fabricator to give me some measurements as well because it would be interesting to compare.

I have had an Alpher build done a few years ago. I'll dig some stuff out when I get home later tonight.

Still from 'When the Levee Breaks, Playing for Change Vid. Stray Wallace Amp and owner found playing in Kew Gardens!

Thanks for the replies guys! Problem is I'm getting serious gas for the Minimark. I've never tried 8in drivers, and am just really curious as to how they would work. I'm in a weird position in that my health has been bad recently, but finances fairly good, so I'm looking at the present and future in a "hope for the best, prepare for the not-so-great" type of spirit - ie a year or two down the line I could be in better health, but may have less money. Things are uncertain on both counts, but am itching to play more. Currently I can afford to splurge a bit, and my Fender Rumble 30 has a knackered speaker (damn looper pedal!), so now seems like a good time time to look at options. I've been thinking about the https://www.markbass.it/product/new-york-121/ as an alternative to the Trace 10in option - a single cab with the Gnome. This cab seems to get a lot of love on the internet, is fairly light and compact, and could form the start of a small stack in the future, so I wouldn't be wasting my money. But still can't get the Minimark 802 out of my head!

Another shout out to Jean Jacques from me

What? My local "The Welly" passes a full blown wellington boot about for the cash and have a card tap attached to it, AND the beer goes up by 10% at 8pm whenever musicians play as a "help the starving musician levey" which is clearly advertised and no one balks at it cos free entry for ever.

+1^^ for me. Very happy to recommend the Nux. Sounds like a great approach and look forward to your findings!

Chase Bliss Blooper would do it. For more than a Tensor!

You don't adjust parameters from the device; you use your phone to do that. It is very convenient.

Pino Palladino's stuff with Paul Young, loved that tone, wore out the C90 of that album. That was a gateway onto Mick Karn, then Geddy, then Doug wimbish. Jonny

Sorry, spelt his name incorrectly. . . . still isn't Emilio Castillo. . . . he's not black. Doesn't look like Doc Kupka either, but this was a long time ago, so I'm less certain about that.

Same here. A lot of bass players make the mistake, imho obviously, of pushing too much LF. If you let the kick drum supply the oomph and concentrate on providing the notes on the bass, the result is much tighter and more musical. It does depend, of course, on the bass and kick drum being in sync.
