I see they didn't have the budget for stacked knobs.... I don't hate it, but 6 knobs and a switch is a lot...

Could be worse, they're also bringing back the Iceman

Wow, I don't think those photos have appeared anywhere else on line. Thanks for sharing!

Picked up this 6 string combustion from bassbros a couple of weeks back. Been a blast so far. Have a tortoishell pickguard on the way for it

The basses look really good and Nate's video is a good demo of the tones. My immediate thought as soon as I saw these models is that the leg rest cut-out is quite a long way back toward the bridge and, with a 'full size' headstock, it will neck-dive.

Welcome to basschat!

A slightly more sensible option might be to just take one of the cabs to the gig, depending on which you prefer the sound of on its own? When and where are you emigrating to, and are you taking this rig? Keeping the pedal with the head could be a nice touch for a future owner to fix.

Think they look great. String spacing too wide for me, but it is something that long fingered freak people have been wanting for a long time!

I use the chocolate plus for my Source Audio C4 and it's an absolute gamechanger (especially when SA insist on midi adapters etc)... They're unbelievable value at £30, the battery lasts ages too!

I looked at the DG pedal but at £200 I wasn't sure I wanted to go there for my needs so I got a MVave Chocolate Plus. It's got 4 buttons which have 2 actions (long and short press) so you have in effect 8 different operations. You can also set it up so that by pressing A&B or C&D together can change to a new bank of MIDI functions (max 8 banks). If I could only remember what I programmed and where I stored it, it would give me approx. 64 diferent commands! I have mine setup so that the MVave can quickly switch between presets & banks and my Anagram takes care of the scenes / stomp operations. The instructions for setting it up are not very clear at all so I had to do some internet digging to find out. Mine is powered / connected via the USB post so I dont have to worry about remembering to recharge it. Since setting it up its been rock solid with no glitches. Until such times as MIDI gets more fully integrated I dont think I'll get any extra value from the DG pedal for what I do.

Here are a few scanned pictures from this period ... A trade show @ 1983 / 84 Ashley at the trade show ... Me and Ashley in his workshop (@ 1983 / 84) Some Chieftains being assembled ... A view inside the workshop ...

Well to be fair I’m only comparing the two in my post. I’ve never used the WS1100’s. i went through quite a few headphones when we went in to lockdown and settled on the AT’s (twice), but then the 700 pro x came out. I had also tried the 770’s but found them too warm and my ears would sweat too much. I do prefer the sound of the AT’s but find the 700’s easier to EQ. I think our ears get used to whatever we use quite quickly. One plus for me is the AT’s sound very similar to my IEM’s, so i tend to have a familiar sound at gigs.

It's done! It will be with me next week, pics to follow once it lands

with an absolute tw@t of a guitarist.... (spoken from experience)

Does the A&H CQ desk not have the equivilent of the Behringer personal mixers that are good for headphone outs? With the XR18 (or 32 or whatever), you could use a single P16-D to route personalised stereo feeds to 16 IEM setups (through individual P16s). I doubt you would ever need to but I assume you could actually stack those!
