My Revolta Duacato arrived today. Unfortunately I had practice tonight so I had very little time with it before I left. I was slightly worried ordering it as although it ticks every box for my needs, I'd never heard of Revolta and never seen or heard anything they've made. There's no reviews as this is the first batch of twelve made. Well the gamble paid off, I'm a fussy bugger but it is beautiful and flawless. Lovely woods, aged cream bound headstock, fretboard and f hole, double bound body with checker binding to the front, slim neck, lightweight, set up nicely, even arrived in tune from the U.S. It sounds great, although the volume control is a touch on the on/off side but that's not a big deal. I'll get some pictures up over the weekend. I'm one very happy bunny!

I always feel that Love Over Gold was never as popular but has always been a favourite of mine. I find the production on Brothers in Arms makes that seem their most dated of all their albums and rarely listen to it now.

Yeah. You've changed.

When I read a thread, the '"Go to first unread post" icon next to the subject line changes from being illuminated to being greyed out. So far, so good. The OP then bumps the thread with the bump button. The icon is now re-illuminated, but there is no new unread text, so if I click on the icon I get taken back to to the first post in the thread. This seems counter-intuitive to me. If the thread is just bumped but no new content is added, why is the icon re-illuminated?

Yea I think the 24/5 blocks is enough if there's more flexibility (like four basic delay blocks seems really unnecessary and restrictive, atleast give the option of swapping four for one other FX block) Personally I don't think the inbuilt interface is that big a deal although I assuming after the GX series it'll be updated. The tone studio software could do with some improvement thou. Tbh I don't even think a touch screen is necessarily if Bluetooth is included and the amp is decent. I think a NAM block is a no brainer, it would save having to add new amps or capturing process and give it best in class amp reproductions. I'd probably not complain if there was an option to purchase the plugout FX algorithms too just to get a dimension chorus effect for an extra £10 or even more for the new pitch shifter. If they managed to do some licensing deals with a handful of smaller boutique brands that would never be able to develop their own models of pedals to sell within the roland cloud it would epic. Having more accurate (to real world) controls for all amps and effects rather than, wider frequency range for the crossovers on the dividers. Having more control over the output settings either by having a large online library of amps that could be being played through or a sort of reverse capture/profiling process which takes snapshot of your amp/monitors and then applies it in a neutralising way to the output settings so as to get the most accurate reproduction of the units amp models.

This one is going with a mint green pickguard…

I CNC Slot make my own fretboards & builds, for this you'd be looking at cutting the slots to 0.7mm (so the width of the tangs as finding tangless fretwire is almost impossible) pre radius the fretwire cut to size and then slightly press the frets in with an arbour/fret press + CA/Super/epoxy glue to bond them down (because you wouldn't be able to tap the frets hoz to set the tangs), id set the cutting path for each fret line and cut them one at a time rather than as a single/full job, doing so would reduce any chance the the ordinal lines might be slightly off compared to the calibration of the current CNC vs the original cutting. Have a look at the side dot markers on this because on some fretless basses these can be positioned on the fretting line not in the centre of the fret, if that's the case you'd also need the side dots relocating

I cannot be the only person who was wondering. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m49617180061?srsltid=AfmBOopwopOvwLm9ct3NXxD1-0kez0V9BMlyuIv7nFNnArr-3_c9rEAr

I've had a a Synq 1K0 stereo power amp to drive my bass rig for about 7 years and last year it packed up on a gig and fortunately my pre-amp was taking a feed to the desk so I was ok. I'm now. looking for a replacement of a similar power rating, not for volume but clean headroom to drive my main gigging cab a 4 ohm big twin II. https://synq-audio.com/digit-1k0 Extremely high power output: 2x 540Wrms @ 4ohms 2x 300Wrms @ 8ohms Output in bridge mode: 1x 1080Wrms @ 8ohms I'm looking for suggestions please must be 1U and preferably class D to fit in this rack. Thanks in advance Jazzyvee

Oh how I envy you Dave. Drives me mental. It's constant, even hear it will driving the old van. Never get a moments peace and it affects my sleep, neighbour upstairs must be pissed off if she can hear the white noise maker going all night. Hell I'm envious of the cause too. Riding bikes can be fun, was a moment's carelessness with a Hilti done me 🙁 Passed a young fella who was struggling, gave his gun a quick check, reload then a test shot. BAM. half the site took to their heels while the other half came running to see what had exploded 😳 Had to be a duff mix at the factory, data sheet says 137dB but it was louder than that. Powder didn't just drive the nail, it vaporised the cartridge.

Yeah, probably do the same application with fretboard. Rosewood has a very open grain, and is a very porous wood, so I will be carefull...... any road up, can't go wrong with black,.... I have a few other dyes, I'll do samples, thanks Steve! your a Star.

Thank you. Not heard of Zen before however someone else suggested them too so I'll check them out.

So glad you had good experiences. Not heard of Miki Bass Side before so I'll check them out. Many thanks

Thanks for sharing that. It's worth me considering 🤔

Thanks. There are several for sale by Japanese vendors, hence the reason for my Post

Recently I’ve been listening to Moving On by Bitty McLean, I bought it when it came out and I’d forgotten just how good this album is , Robbie’s basslines are just perfect, I’ve noted a few down to re learn , it’s worth checking out if you haven’t already, there’s not one track that I don’t like

Another deal gone down without drama... Cheers, Mickeyboro Shug
