Nah, they're all in the same room and might actually be, just possibly, talking to each other. None of the nerds I know talk to other people... Thats just uncool. Rob

I think you need two USB ports to do the job properly, one USB looks like it goes to the accelerometer, this apears to be mounted on the extruder head, no idea how, and the other USB to the newly flashed Klipper board. You *might* be able to drive the newly flashed Klipper board through the UART via the GPIO. One of the videos talks about that, Can you do this? Is a UART exposed via that way? My hardware knowledge here is extremely sketchy. Methinks, you're going to need another Pi.

Speaking generally I believe there are both for export and non export models of Japanese Fender with the non export being of better quality with Ash or Alder bodies as opposed to Basswood. I thing the non export ones have the grooved bridge saddles as opposed to smooth, the large vintage style tuners and the hootenanny button on the back of the headstock. The export models are generally still decent basses but the non export ones are the special ones.

EnoFest in Durham, North Carolina

Thanks, I think you're both probably right. I've never seen an SD like this hence my query. This is the second one I have seen for sale recently but on reflection maybe it was a different advert for the same one.

Is there any reason that subs weigh a ton? Is a genuinely lightweight sub possible?

I played this exact combo. Missed a complete steal on eBay a few days ago.

Lmao 🤣.

Had to share this. It’s Harvey mason- chameleon band at the Java jazz festival. Freddie’s playing is so good. Pocket legend but so groovy. He has the special sauce. I LOVE how he makes those Bartolini’s sing. Wow. Kamasi is a legend in my eyes. enjoy. I did.

The Earl Haig with Bluesfire today, a short-notice gig to fill in for a very good local band. Good numbers, maybe 100 at the start, quite a few more by the end. Setting up, a dodgy di lead on my amp was freaking when the spots turned on. Took a while to track down. But we had the full light show, there will be photos. First half it seemed ok to us, but apparently sound was very harsh. Our sound guy unfamiliar with house pa. Second half sounded better apparently. Audience randomly joined in the vocals for sharp dressed man, quite a lot of dancing and upriarious applause. Although some of the time we couldn't see the audience for smoke. Lots of happy, enthusiastic punters and great feedback. Alex got a few sets of applause for his solos, was like a jazz gig! Apparently the bit where we co-ordinate and Alex does trills and I do finger tapping was 'epic' - we think it's silly but fun 😁 Lost track of time so started to finish early but ended up doing three encores. Were taken aback to get applause just for starting Purple Rain. Final song was let's stick together which gets manic and my fingers started behaving oddly and then virtually cramped up... just made it to then end.

Final Countdown - Europe

Not yet, I’ll be experimenting this week. I’ll be trying it after the Stanley Clarke and seeing what the EUB sounds like through it.

Welcome to the Light side. QC is essential to bass when used in an IEM/Ampless environment. Of course, when used in a studio there is other worldly implications. Search in the cloud for your favorite stuff. Check out the online list of devices available. I have (and use) the Mesa CA400. I use a Noble preamp capture. Parametric EQ and HPF, LPF filter. And the Darkglass 212 neo cabs sims. I need to do some captures. Once my studio is built in a couple of months I'm gonna get them done. For now, experimentation is what you should be doing.

CMD121P user. Gigged for years with no issues. Great amps.

SIT Foundations and DR Pure Blues are what I'm using currently. Covers most tonal requirements.

Few months back I got thinking if I was happy with my tone from my Dingwall basses… and the answer was “ish”. But I always loved my Status basses. Given my band were down at G# i thought there was no way I could use one again. My guitarist suggested trying to play at A# on a 5, so much more attainable and likely stable. And it worked, most of our stuff can be done at half step down, and for those G# times the Quad Cortex does a fine job. So, given Rob was feeling better and making basses again - albeit wooden with graphite reinforcement - I decided to place an order for a CW-2 with blue tint and white LEDs. I’d been after this combo for years. I thought the bass would still sound good, even though it wasn’t rocking as much carbon graphite as my CW-1. Possibly different, but still good! It has now arrived and… it’s fantastic. Great feeling, and the sound is awesome. Very similar to the CW-1. I went straight into a session to record a new track and it sat so well. I’m a very happy bunny. I am now considering selling my Dingwall 😂 potentially ordering another Status! If you’re considering a new Status, but think “oh they’re not made of graphite now”; don’t worry. They are still sounding brilliant. Genuinely excellent basses!

I've owned quite a few Japanese Fenders and, in my experience, they're all great. If you're planning on buying one, I recommend trying them before you buy if you can. Normally they go for around £700 in a private sale. Remember if you buy a secondhand Japanese bass, you can always sell it for the same price you bought it for but if you buy a new MIM Player you won't get your money back if you want to sell it on.
