I’ve ordered one too, should be with me in a few days

So i eventually succumbed to this......

I love Vulfpeck, and I have travelled to London to see them before. However, my main focus is Joe Dart and having seen him up close on small stages in two of his other bands, and only had to drive a half hour, I know my preference. Big gigs just aren't my thing any more.

I really like both. The way the tenor banjo is played makes me forget it's a ... banjo and it sounds like it was written for him, great interpretation, congratulations. The guitar version is really lovely too, very wooly and woody sounding with great articulation and these Aquila strings are very even, congratulations again!

Bought a Rush book, probably struggling to make sense of it like me! Great buyer happy days.

as above, top chap, I rehomed his lovely Rush book, excellent comms, postage, everything, credit to bc

Based on this thread and me not really needing one, I ordered one from Amazon last night 😅. I play mostly with a pick and have good palm muting, but occasionally I do play finger style and like the thud a muted string gets.

I can promise you all this - if I ever get to do an international tour outside Japan I will definitely buy both an actual key synth, a MXR and FI4vip and take them all around the world - comparing them for all my basschat fans. You'll then see at least one of the three in the for sale section here post tour. This is my solemn promise to you all.

With the same thought process, why do we need any pedals/processors? Why do we spend our bassy lives trying to chase the right amp/bass tone, if none of it matters?

Ah - I don't have any of their products. I suppose it will give me a day to think about if I want to do London on a work night.

Jonas always said that the 36v premap was modelled on a Neve board - which he apparently favoured for studio use. The sheer voltage wasn't for outright volume but headroom, or clarity of signal at higher outputs. Why that mattered so much to Jonas at that particular moment, I'm not sure, but if you look over his career you'll see he was always very interested in tone and the sculpting of his sound through his gear. His signature gear like his Sound of Sweden basses or his Warwick amps were always unique in some regard, in accordance with what Jonas wanted at the time.

These are on sale on a daily deal at Guitar Guitar for £849

Thanks LeftJ. Unfortunately this one requires care and attention I am not qualified to give.

I think that's what I've bought through... If you have an O2 phone or maybe even Virgin Media subscriptions then you go through O2 priority and you get dibs on some gigs and events before general release. There may be other ways but that's the only one I know of.

How does the Artist Presale work?

Torn on this one mate tbh. Not sure I can do the o2 two days on the bounce.

I've been thinking about this a bit recently. I bought a double bass that was owned by Jack Bruce (not in the putative sense most vintage instruments are sold) but with provenance from Bonhams. It's 100% one of his, but it means nothing to me really. I bought it because I needed a great sounding classical bass and this was checked over by a friend and was given the OK. We assumed it would be out of my price range, but in the end it sold for half the original Bonham's sale price. I guess my point is that the "value" of celebrity ownership is probably temporal and that the celebrities of today are unlikely to mean much (if anything) to the generations in the future. Maybe a few will, but ultimately, we're all shadows and dust. Or 3 generations from irrelevance, as my mum put it when we were enjoying a walk.
