This looks incredible. Could easily replace a few individual pedals straight away. Those presets programmed by IMA are worth the price of admission alone; from the sounds in the demo he’s nailed 8 of the most immediately useful bass synth tones you’d be looking to achieve. Can’t wait to get my hands on one. Thanks for sharing 👍

Agreed - the AVRI/American Vintage/American Original/American Vintage II line instruments can be sublime. You still have to try before you buy, but these instruments are always very faithful to the period they are copied from. The nitro finishes in particular make a huge difference to the sound/character of the bass, and they always have that 'just right' feeling to them.

They’ve pitched this really well. Not a full on synth like a Future Impact or Source Audio C4 but more feature rich than the EHX Mono Synth. It seems closer to the Meris Enzo but far better executed. I think it will sell well.

I only play fenders now really and over the years I’ve had a lot of different ones , imo the AVRI series are the better ones, especially the earlier ones which is what I have, I couldn’t find much difference with them and the custom shop models by way of quality, the 62 RI jazz and precision are my favourites along with a few vintage

If I had the budget for a Fender Custom Shop (Precision) bass, I would be going to Jon Shuker. I went Carvin for my Jazz, but you can't find them anymore, so I'm not sure what I would recommend now. You can beat Fender basses at any price, but not their amps.

*titter*

When I went it was more like a huge, surreal mediaeval fair. Due to over-indulgence I can't remember much else beyond the Mutoid Waste Company, Hank Wangford and Richard Thompson.

Really enjoyed the tunes this month. As Len pointed out, it's a shame that, on a site for musicians, so few manage to find half an hour or so to listen to them. Hey ho, so it goes, it's still great fun!

Following Quite curious about this myself, mostly for being unable to put it to the test as a lefty. When I walk into a store I should be happy if they even have a Squier I can play. It's been 15 years since I last played a Mexican Standard Jazz Bass and I've NEVER played a recent US-made Fender Bass in my life. I have owned several MIJ and CIJ Fenders and Squiers, but buying two very recent US-made Fender g**t*rs recently has changed my perception on the brand somewhat - I still think they're overpriced but they're really, really good. FSR can be anything with Fender, be it Mex, Jap or US. I recall a cool MIM Jazz Bass in natural ash which were well-received, and several US models in limited edition finishes (like Sea Foam Green). What do you have?

Have a look at these super bass plugins from United Plugins: https://unitedplugins.com/plugins?tag=bass United Plugins have a massive selection of plugins by various associated brands, I use the Firesonic and Sound Device products on every recording. I’ve certainly had no issues with running any from U.P.

The Prodigy have always been one of my favourite bands, their set still looked like the most energy of the festival.

I think you have the wrong thread.

Turnstile are not metal. They have always been a hardcore band. They have only gone up the food chain recently due to branching out their sound. Glow On is a fantastic album.
