It sounds like you can send just dry bass into it so no reason why the filter can’t be used on that. (There’s an explicit option for the dry to either go through the filter or to bypass it.)

This is a rare punchy beast, I haven't found another like it. Rosewood fretboard with pearly block inlays, and the all important go faster stripes for those trickier licks 😂 30" Short scale, made in Japan in 2014. It's effectively a very high quality, active Mustang variant. The pickups are blades, very responsive and precise. Featuring the John East jazz preamp, so it has full passive control, or epic active. It's had a full luthier set up, action is low and intonation is spot on. In excellent all round condition. Comes with Atelier short gjgbag. Currently wearing La Bella Deep Talkin strings. Can courier at cost. Trade for Sandberg VS4 or Central, maybe! -
Yep, a bass purchase for me (by me) has to be something I really want these days, because I need to factor in the cost of the LEGO set too. Mark

I have just discovered that Ca7triel and Paco Amoroso were playing. No iPlayer action so watch this. They are LAYING it down.

I notice that there is some similar verb usage going on here. I highlighted it for you

Anyone know if it can do a clean envelope filter in the same way that it can do a clean octave?

Pity, you could point out that you’d then have an eternally-resetting gear acquisition counter 👍 think Benjamin button

You’re right - but I think it’s the willingness to sacrifice and offload things that’s my win here in winterfell. Partner knows that I recently sold something that I’ve wanted since I was 15 when we had an unexpected financial dry period a while back (two actually, thinking about it) so she knows I only buy used, at a good price, and that I’ll liquidate anything immediately to feed the kids. Plus im careful what I buy anyway
-
And so they should, and they deserve every happy second of it. I'd like to think they could find good partners to work with for the continuation of the Status brand though. Hiscox Cases has just been given a new lease of life, and I'd like to see the same for Status.

Oooh! I'm not a big effects user when it comes to bass but that sounds very tempting.

Interesting experience. Two questions, did you use the built-in presets on each channel, and second question, do you normally use a digital or analogue desk? My experience is that you need to use the channel presets to get the best out of the flow8, and that digital desks can sound very dry compared to an old school analogue desk like the Mackie.

Ok. £60 it is. I'll take it. -
Fender Tone Stack, no? Like an Alembic Preamp. But with rocket power bolted on. -

SX do a very nice looking 30” P bass copy. Looks the part but can’t comment on the sound or quality of them. -

Temporary bodges that just last the course

In the 70s things came with fag packet foil ready fitted 🤣 -
I just turned down a free Stevie Wonder ticket 😭 I will be out in the heat all day and I know I won't be up to standing in a castle all night, no matter how good the gig.

Last time I visited this thread it was only 2 pages long 😂 Not wanting to read 18 pages of posts I'll just go ahead and relate to you my 2025 Glastonbury experience … I started watching Neil Young on the BBC broadcast, the sound was so terrible I made it through maybe 3 or 4 songs before turning over to watch the Jeff Beck performance at Ronnie Scott's. I'd never actually seen this performance and loved every moment of it - apart from the many, many advert breaks - but what a great set. Mark

Festival talk has reminded me we once got a dodgy golf cart with a blown fuse. We bodged it with the foil bit out of a fag packet and it ran like a champ for a week. The following year, same festival, I got a suspiciously familiar golf cart. Opened up the fuse box out of curiosity and found that ciggy foil is much more durable than expected, or possibly that a series of unlucky crews were inspired by our initial bodge. At least it wasn't a nail this time. -
Purchased a set of short scale strings from Marc which were promptly shipped and received. Excellent communication as well. Thanks Marc.

It does... see start of the thread. -
I hoped it was tucked under his butt, but it may be completely missing... Take a look at the hybrid cymbal/elbow!

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Stub Mandrel replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Singer and drums absent. Mate Nigel is playing me something Darren wrote to his lyrics and me and Darren are jamming something suitably funky... The originals lot, Fritz put out an album X years ago and is reviving the band name for an album and a few dates. No big ambitions but some fun stuff with fairly simple structures. -
I have the opposite story: the last time I went two of my social circle who were dating had bought tickets together and then split up just before the festival. They couldn't afford/didn't want to lose the tickets so went together in a tiny tent and somehow every act I actually saw they were stood somewhere at the back looking incredibly miserable. Why didn't they just split up and go find some interesting things/hot people, in this huge festival the size of a city, full of interesting things/hot people? It is a mystery for the ages.
