    I have a Cort Rithmic 4 and 5 string, Dave. And a MarkBass Jeff Berlin combo. Do I sound like him? Do I f***. The truth is that I didn't buy the kit because I wanted to sound like him, it was just that, for reasons I am not going into on here, I had to get some useable gear that didn't break the bank and this kit is all at the affordable end. I have to say that the 5-string is really exceptional but all of it is perfectly decent professional quality kit. It has really made me think hard about cost vs. value.

    Good advice. To isolate my subs from floors and stages, I use semi-hard rubber tiles that I bought from a company that supplies them to schools, playgrounds and similar to place around swings and slides to prevent kids from injuring themselves if they fall. They're half a metre square, quite heavy and do a good job. The material is grippy, so cabs don't slide or move. Being intended for outdoor use, they're tough, too. Google "playground rubber tiles" and you'll find plenty.

    I'm now three months in with the Protec and, while I'm very happy with it, in truth it has yet to do a dozen gigs (most of my gigs in that period have been a better fit for my BSX Allegro) so it's too early to be writing any reviews yet.

    @Al Krow you need the bass amp block to find the Fat Tube amp. There's the whole bass effects section at the end of the block list if you haven't found them yet!

    Thicker foam of lower density can be beneficial on particularly soft stages. But too thick can result in the cab rocking. Spikes don't do anything useful from a sound standpoint. Where they can be beneficial is on a carpeted floor, gripping through the carpet to prevent speaker 'dancing' at high power levels, especially long-excursion subs. The quasi-magical properties attributed to them by some are just more audiophile piffle.

    I looked at these last year, started a similar thread to this Got some good advice, ended up with a TC BG208 which is ideal for me and it also saved me some money going down that route Tony

    Been setting up a couple of drive patches on the GX10 using the AIRD preamp fx. Managed to find the Orange Stack which I had previously been using on my GT-1000 Core, but not the Fat Tube which others had mentioned/liked on the Core and I was hoping to audition - maybe that's one of the fx not available yet on the GX10? I'm finding that the Boss preset GX Dual Drive (with some added EQ to fill out the low-mids) is my current fav - it's a reach creamy drive! That comprises the OD fx followed by two of their preamps in parallel. What's particularly neat is being able to assign the expression pedal to two parameters on each of the OD and the two preamps (ie 6 parameters in total): the gain and level so that the gain on all three can be simultaneously increased while at the same time smoothly reducing the output levels on each fx so the overall output volume remains even. Combining that with one of the footswitches to kick off/on the two parallel-path preamps and I've got quite a range of drive available via the expression pedal and one stomp-switch which will be handy for live use.

  19. NancyJohnson started following Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree - listening companion suggestions.
  20. NancyJohnson
    Pretty certain there's some Steven Wilson hero worship going on here. I've come a bit late to the Steven Wilson party; I've loved the work he's done resurrecting/elevating the Tears For Fears and XTC back catalogue to spatial audio and Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Welcome To The Pleasuredome Atmos mix is an absolute delight, but (and there's always a 'but'), I find his total output somewhat overwhelming in a musical capacity. So much content to play catch up. No-Man, Porcupine Tree, his solo stuff, Blackfield ...and so on. I own a few albums/BluRays; more recent live stuff (Home Invasion/Arriving Somewhere/Closure Continuation Live) and some solo stuff (The Future Bites/The Overview) and I dip into Spotify for short hits of audio, but just want to throw something cohesive together (Spotify) that I can just stick on in the car, at home etc. My good lady happened to be sitting in the same room when Pariah (from To The Bone) came on - she said, 'I like this,' which was then swiftly followed by, 'I don't like this, there's too many notes,' and I can kind of see her point. Gimme you favourite tracks.

    Latest incarnations of my boards. Gigging requirements keep changing, so we have plenty of dirt options on one for the 90’s grunge and alt rock set, and more of a filter focus on the other for the 80’s pop covers.

    Thank you and corrected. 110cm shorter strings, 116cm longer ones.

    Indeed. Phil McKnight visited Cort in Indonesia. This is what I would call mass produced. Compare that to the likes of Warwick (playlist from 13 years ago): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4RTxRSp52Y&list=PL23BB5BB96FFBFC41

    Using CNC / Mechanisation to build basses is only logical from a viewpoint of quality of manufacturing and ability to reproduce compatible parts. Even boutique manufacturers do this, here is a Facebook post by Roger Sadowsky from back in 2023 talking about his New York Custom Shop basses being made with CNC machines:

  30. Lamarque Guitars started following new Humbucker design for Jazz Bass
  31. Lamarque Guitars
    Hello, My name is Antoine Lamarque and I build guitars, basses and pickups in Paisley, Scotland. I've recently designed a humbucker for Jazz Bass. They're called 'Short-Range Humbuckers' and they're a little bit different to everything else on the market right now. They were reviewed by Bass The World on youtube which is the best place to hear some sound samples. I'm trying to get them out in the wild so I'm offering a 50% discount on my online store so a set of these pickups is now £97.50 with worldwide shipping included. It's a tough time of year to ask people to spend £195 on pickups from an unknown builder so hopefully the discount along with 30 day returns will be enough to encourage people to give them a try. Here are links to my product page and the youtube review. https://www.lamarqueguitars.com/product-page/shortrangehumbucker

    With the advent of CNC machines, I don't think automation defines mass produced any more. There are low volume shops with all the machines. IMO mass produced just means high volume output, fewer choices and, in many cases, reduced QC. There are boutique shops which contract out cutting bodies and making necks. They are low volume and high quality, with many options, but they are probably not defined as hand made anymore.
