Acquired two basses this year, early in January a Goodfellow spitfire 5, and then in the spring time a Yammy trb5 mk1 slapcut job . Both completely different but I’m really enjoying that, and it’s a privilege to be the lastest custodian of them x

That’s so good! And it’s important too. It an be a slog and wearing, can’t it. I know that it has been with our lad.

Anton Yelchin managed it too. Both of them were following the example of Monty Python in the Upper-Class Twit of the Year contest.

What a great story! Pics please?! (And same to @Greg Edwards69 maybe with your full rig if you have one to hand?!)

That's certainly an acquired taste! Somewhat reminds me of the Jackson Anti Gravity too, which was designed by the late Harry Fleishman. This was the original prototype, which borrows heavily from Kubicki. The production instrument by the Jackson Custom Shop kept the overall shape, but without the fanned frets, with regular magnetic pickups and with a pointy headstock:

Yeah, saw that, thanks. Strangely Amazon are now showing out of stock with no option to purchase. I have about £60 balance with them so that was the reason i went with Amazon. If other places get stock in before i get the order I’ll cancel and use somewhere else.

The best purchase was my Darkglass Anagram. I've only had it a few months, and it's getting rapidly getting better and better with DG's speedy updates. They're so quick, I'm struggling to keep up! Worst was some IMA Helix presets. There's nothing wrong with them - they sound great. But redundant now I've moved over to the Anagram. Honourable mention goes to my GR Bass 1x12 active cab. It's fantastic and logic-defyingly light. But it only gets used for rehearsals. That said, this and the Anagram have made loading in/out of rehearsal and gigs much more enjoyable.

This pedal should work with the Roland FP-30X if you don't want to buy the whole cabinet: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mq9ET5v

And this one, about that same awful song:

@dave_bass5 Andertons were estimating next Thursday for their stock so hopefully you won't be waiting too long!

Yeah, although 4 hours wouldn’t get me through a rehearsal. Hoping it will work with the Chocolate plus.

Looks like a useful practice and gigable backup tool, especially with the built-in battery.

I've got almost the same bass (mine is unlined) - I ended up swapping the pickups (as the default hum buckers were lacking in clarity) and stripping out the (dodgy) electronics to convert to passive, along with giving the fingerboard a wee sand down as it had some dings and flat spots on it. Great option for a lightweight and portable fretless.

Ordered from Amazon for £109. No idea how long the wait is but it's exactly what I feel the GP-5 is missing.

I didn't mention but I have also tried v1.1 as I did spot the firmware version might be a potential issue. No luck. Network is not set to connect automatically

The thing that strikes me from the plots above is how broadly uniform most are. The major peaks and troughs occur at similar points for many.

Best is a Harley Benton mahogany bass uke and a set of the Galli-Kala flats for it. I take it everywhere as it lives in the car. I'm playing and learning 10x more now. Best £150 all in I've ever spent. As a very busy dad of 2 with autism, It's really made a huge difference to my overall mental health. My fam is reaping the benefits too as I'm a much less frustrated and now happier daddio these days 👍

You are right - a good reminder. I think that I wanted to have the complete story, not just for me, but for others who find this thread in the future. However, in gathering the details together, I had forgotten that my goal was to get a piano which worked for me, both now and in the future.

Brian, eBay store "earlpilanz", has a template for the 44-64. He'll email you a PDF to check against yours and save you sending off the original. It's a Cat 3 size, £42 for standard 3 ply rising to £55 for mirror finish. You'll find it listed in the description for . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114490584526?itmmeta=01KC6FXR70KVEKCGYES866A6MA&hash=item1aa82badce:g:bt8AAOSwloxfnA5O

Sharpie.

And if money is tight, Bonners, Andertons and many others offer real 0% finance over 3 to 6 months: This could be a great plus allowing you to buy the best keyboard for you, and not especially the more expensive one.

You need to change the network settings so that networks are NOT connected to automatically. On IOS you need to disable Auto Join for all your networks. I have never found this setting on Android but both IoS and Android assume that you must be connected to the Internet and try to force it by default. In fact Windows does something similar.

In this case put the money in and buy the real deal, which is 2.5 times more expensive. I have an Ibanez 6 strings bass set, an Hosco 6 strings guitar set and some other different gauges Hosco files since more than 2 decades and only some of the Ibanez files start to show some wear, but I made hundreds of nuts with these... So buy well, buy once. 😉

Stunning 😍

A bigger brother to the GP-5. Two footswitches, more knobs so you can edit on device, MIDI In/Out with mini jacks, stereo out, expression/footswitch jack, 4 hour battery life. Looks good! https://www.valeton.net/product/gp-50/
