This is indeed correct.

I have never actually lost connection (without using the internal network and a U4 aside) and I am not sure on the term 'cobbling' really matches connecting a standard ethernet connection, but ok! Yes, the CQ18 has a screen and hardware controls that are handy for setup, although I wouldn't really want to rely on that during a gig so wireless issues would presumably be the same. I would assume you could also connect to the CQ18 with an ethernet connection (at least I would hope you could), so you could use a hardware surface, which honestly always beats a table if you happen to also be gigging!

And this pedal... After my Sansamp FlyRig failed spectacularly mid gig, and was going to cost me more to send back to New York to repair than I paid for it....😳 ....I bought this Zoom B2 four. Does the job, bass still goes bom pa pom 👍🏼

So the final lists are here, all 500 songs. Its easy to see from the list below that it's all grouped around the 1970's, 1980's and early 1990's. This is borne out by the decades table for the whole 500 This is the list before the last 70 songs and now after the whole 500 songs The 1970's and the 1980's increased their percentage of the songs at the expense of the other decades. Basically more 1970's and 1980's songs in the last 70 songs today. The top band were indeed AC/DC who had the same song recorded 21 times but with different titles (joke joke). Five in the top 50, so 10% of the top 50 were AC/DC. Their average position was 187. Second was Led Zepp with 19 and an average position of 203 Joint third on the list with 18 were Queen (average position 302) and Black Sabbath (average position 229) The average year of the top 10 was 1981, songs 11-20 average year was 1978, Songs 21-30 average year was 1976, Songs 31-40 average year was 1983 and Songs 41-50 was 1980. The oldest song was Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode, 1958, which only came in at 418 (travesty IMHO) The newest song was Shinedown - A Symptom of Being Human, 2022, which came in at 259. There were only 50 songs this millennium and their average year was 2008. I make no comment on the quality of the songs (apart from Chuck Berry), I am merely your humble scribe and data analytics person. Enjoy Rob

I was meaning that the xr18 doesn't have any actual knobs or a screen that comes on when you power it up. I know too many people who say they've 'lost connection' for whatever reason or ended up cobbling a wired connection together for it. Doesn't seem to be the same issues with the CQ18.

This bass combines a lot of elements that I rarely see: 2-over-3 headstock; 10 string (so, 4-over-6 headstock!); multiscale. I like it, very much.

My Vigier Passion ii, it's been joined at the hip with me during 2025 gigs, absolutely love it ❤️ For anyone who missed it in Build Diaries, it was transformed from being originally fretless to fretted here:

I do like the channel. I do wonder with review channels how honest they really are. Not stating they are I just think they go through ALOT of things.

Liam just bought my MTD Super 5. Great communication; proper nice bloke to deal with. Had a nice chat about basses too - what's not to like! Would highly recommend and a real gent!

A thing that would make me practice enough.
