    So who's upgrading to the GP-50? Already placed my pre order in.

    My cheap generic controller arrived today. £21 posted. It's good at creating scenes. Less good at programming chases as editing an error in a chase is awkward, and it seems to automatically play a chase then move to the next one, rather than keep repeating the same chases as I'd expect. I bought it for a gig next week, though we only have 4 LED par lamps. I'm thinking to not bother with the chase and just have 8 scenes in the first scene bank for colour wash.

    Some really nice gear listed so far. That blue Sandberg i especially like. 2 purchases for me this year not including stage gear. #1 Barefaced 212 cab that is now my main gigging cab along with the HB WB-100 amp. Could do with a little more mid punch but i've recently increased the mids to 3 o'clock and its made a huge change in tone. Not much happened from 12 to 2 but 3 was a WOW moment. #2 Next off was a set of nut files to let me lower the strings a touch on my Overwater J4 and that now feels a lot better. First time i've ever adjusted the nut height and it could come down a little bit more. No worst purchases this year. Excuse the stage mess. It was a sound check and cleared for the show..............honest.

    Just bought a Cali76 from Ian. Splendid chap to deal with, good comms, super quick delivery (arrived next day), well packed and pedal in excellent condition. Thanks Ian!

    I had a pretty bad face-to-face viola exam, just after covid. I got a 'merit' but it still put me off doing face to face exams. I have since done a couple of grades with Rock School which I found to be a little less formal.

    So it is. Confusingly it's 3/4 of the way through the manual rather than being at the end where I would normally expect to find it. It is also rather sparse and AFAICS I will need to use the 4 flexi controllers if I want to do anything interesting with MIDI control of a program's parameters. I assume that since they are in the Editor their assignments can be changed per program rather than being global? The MIDI implementation chart does answer my question regarding program mapping - it's only available on send and not on receive. Which you have just confirmed. It's a little disappointing that not all the parameters are accessible from the Editor application. It would be a massive improvement of the usability if everything was accessible via the Editor, or at least those parameters that can only be changed from the pedal interface itself were made A LOT MORE OBVIOUS in the manual Thank you for all your help, I realise that as a new user with unconventional requirements I'm probably asking lots of weirds and difficult questions that never occur to most potential users of this device. I appreciate the time you've taken to help me. I'll email the maker now requesting that the Instrument mode either be changed on a per-program basis or separately by MIDI command in a future update.

    Purchased by me in 1972 from Sound City, Shaftesbury Avenue and extensively used throughout the 70's and 80's until GAS took hold! It has been refinished many times since the blue sparkle finish seen in the Fender catalogue. The current finish looks OK but isn't great, with a few marks and a chip near the jack insert. The original pick up was soon added to with a John Birch steel guitar near the bridge, which sounded great. The feint outline of this pickup is still visible. This was replaced by the Bartolini MM pickup at the bridge by Mansons of Exeter. The original Fender pickup was then outed in favour of the Bartolini PB pickup installed by The Bass Gallery - the battery is for this pickup. Currently the bass sounds better than it ever has. Original reverse thread tuners. 34" scale. Truss rod works. Hardly any fret wear. Around 4.3 kilos. Bit of neck dive. Strung BEADG instead of EADGC. Original bridge. 15 frets only. I've loads of photos which I may have to post separately. The case is a fairly cheap TGI one in good condition. A bit difficult (for me anyway) to access the higher frets due to a rather bulky neck pocket and the left over damage from a broken wrist. The buyer may like to restore this to its original specs, but I assure you the pickups now fitted sound infinitely better than the original one. Any questions please ask. The price is firm, and no exchanges thanks. I'm now 80 and certainly don't need any more basses! Meet up somewhere in the south is the preferred course of action

    Instrument mode is wholly independent of program. It is possible to play the same program in either mode. (I did suggest the possibility of having something in the editor to log which mode the user wanted to use the patch with in a previous update round, but it was deemed too much work/unnecessary at the time.) (Pre-v4 FIs could switch mode automatically depending on whether audio or MIDI was detected at the input and it’s feature that is now not present, due to the fact that the MIDI and audio modes now inhabit two separate areas of the memory. I do wonder if there might be code space to add a similar function that can switch between the two quickly. I’ll ask. Instrument mode can’t currently be changed via MIDI command either but I’ve been asking for this for a while. If you email them asking for it, it’ll lend more weight to my argument. Yes, and they are all detailed in the manual. Currently anything in the Global menu and the two Global options on the Parameter dial.

    Selling my stunning Japanese Ken Smith Burner 5! Bought from Bassbro’s but has sat unused since, to scared to take it out giging! It is nice and light too which is very noticeable on this one - 3.6kg. For its age the bass is in great condition for its age with only some minor marks in the finish and 1 small ding on the back of the body, other than this it is in excellent shape for its age. Included is the original gigbag. These are pretty rare basses - £2000. Bass is in Glasgow, happy to post at buyers cost.

    I have the downloaded PDF manual open on another screen on my computer so I can refer to it whilst also using the Editor. I've spent the last 2 hours looking through the manual and couldn't find this. Because of course I didn't realise that I wasn't looking in the right section, as it's not possible to do from the Editor - hence my question. I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to go back to the bad old days of convoluted button pressing and parameter access from the 80s... As it's a "Global" setting does that mean I can't switch between modes by selecting a different program? Whilst I expect to be using the Future Impact in Synth mode most of the time, it would be much more versatile if the mode was stored with the program so I can change it by calling up the relevant program. If it is going to be possible to access this parameter in a future version of the Editor does that mean that it can currently be changed via MIDI, or will that also require a firmware update? If it can be changed by MIDI at the moment what are the relevant commands? I haven't been able to find a MIDI implementation chart in the manual. Are there other parameters that can only be accessed and changed on the pedal itself and not from the editor? It would be useful to know. I can't see a list of them in the manual. Finally (for now), the Future Impact appears to do MIDI program mapping on MIDI send, but can it also do it on receive or is incoming MIDI program 01 always preset 01 on the FI?

    Yes, I've installed first v1.2.2 and then uninstalled and installed 1.1.3 on my Windows 11 laptop. However just heard back from the seller that it had the latest firmware so that becomes less likely as an issue. Have put a query on the A&H forum, when I get the chance to be next to it during office hours I'll call their support line, I've read they're generally helpful

    Yes and no. Given that they are all fed through the same speaker, differences should still be apparent. Certainly, nuances will be less obvious, but I think my overall observation stands. I appreciate the importance of a quality PA. I have one. I find that most mic's, barring the really cheap and nasty. give a decent account of themselves through it. Sometimes, an El Cheapo can surprise you, as you found with your BM300. It's still the case, as it always is, that some will suit certain voices and instruments better than others, but I find differences are not massive in the main and can often be compensated for with eq.

    I think for the Grades, there is a little bit of me that wants to show off 'I've got Grade 5 Piano'! Zero interest in putting it on my CV or getting UCAS points. About 99% because it will hopefully push me to knuckle down and become a better piano player, a deadline for a formal exam is quite a powerful motivator. I know it is a bit like getting Scout badges and I could also get better without formally being graded but I think it will work to motivate me. I'll look into the Trinity Grades, will discuss it when I meet the teacher.
