Buy lots of individual pedals. ....then realise it's a bit unwieldy, costly, and difficult to do complex changes live quickly. Sell individual pedals and buy a multi fx. ......then realise that it isn't as 'hands/stomp on' and not as 'what you see is what you get' and some sounds (like envelope filter) aren't as good as individual pedals. Sell multi fx and buy individual pedals. Repeat.

Are you familiar with the Nashville Numbering System? As in chord numbers? 2-5-1 for example? This piece of music is in C minor mostly before going up a semitone after the bridge.

Nope, plus the gzrs have there own electrics.

The controlling device needs to be a host device. DIY one: The M-Vave Chocolate Plus can be used - connect the MS-60B+ to "Host" and a USB power supply to "USB" (if you don't, it won't work - the USB power supply will power the pedal though). Set to Program Change A, the four buttons select patch 1, 2, 3, and 4, if buttons 1 & 2 are pressed simultaneously it will advance the base patch by 4 so button 1 will then select patch 5, pressing 1 & 2 again will advance it by another 4. Pressing 3 & 4 decreases the patch base by 4. There's a setting "Max Group Count" that you can alter to be the point at which increasing the base patch sends it back to 1. The number shown in the display is the patch number minus 1 because that's how MIDI works.

It's missing one more pickup and some LEDs...

Yes so good Frank and it wasn’t that long ago really that I found out that Christine woodbridge was the bass player , real sound system style, mikey dread is one of my favourites from Channel One sound, he knows exactly just when to drop the bass, I can’t get enough of this especially with the Earl 16 mix

Hey guys I'm a guitarist and don't know or understand the world of bass electronics very well. I have a Mezzo 5 strings and I want to remove the preamp section and go passive. Should I replace the pots? I mean, are they only compatible with active preamps? (Since I see little PCBs on them). If so, should I have to replace all of them or maybe just some? (EG just the volume or blend). If I were to replace the blend pot and I wanted to keep the blend setup in passive mode (instead of having a volume for each pickup), which model should I buy? The same goes for the other pots (don't know if I should go for 250k or 500k or whatever). Please help me! haha I'll also replace the J Pup, probably with a Dimarzio ultra jazz. Lastly, I would try to turn it into a Jazz bass, replacing the P pickup with also a Dimarzio ultra jazz, but I would hollow out the pickup hole by hand/drill, since I dont have the right tools haha so I don't know if it would be too crazy. The thing is, I already have a 4-string PJ bass (Sire U5) and doing so would give me a more different sound...don't know what you think about it! ahah In case, I need to know how to calculate the exact new position of the jazz neck Pup, I mean the exact distance from the other one. Sorry for the madness and for my bad english!

Thanks for the info Here's a short clip of the Bass VID_20250619_185506.mp4

Dear Angie - Badfinger

So do I, which is why I have an app on my tablet and a Bluetooth connected bike. I'm always trying to beat my time or trying to overtake someone or trying not to be overtaken. It takes your mind off the tedium. It's like when I was younger I hated running (still do), but put a map and compass in my hands and I was actually quite good at orienteering as it turned out - 3rd in the county for my age class one year

I find on my Spector LT5 a good setup, good intonation and a lighter gauge string... I user a .125 Dunlop super bright gives me a lot of clarity and note all the way across the neck. I find not cranking the bass on the preamp or amp also helps and also a lighter touch helps bring more note out of the string.

What do you feel the current pickups are missing?

I hear these two are quite similar - my new classic vibe has SDs, but I'm just wondering were if it'd be worth me upgrading to the Gzrs for recording heavy rock/proto heavy metal tones, or should I save my money and stick to the SPB1s? Apparently the only difference between these and the Gzrs is that the latter has a bit more of an upper mid push....just wondering if I can just tweak the amp/od pedal EQ, or would it not be the same?

The letter - Joe Cocker

Really digging Alpha & Omega at the moment, can't get enough of this album...

And I'm the opposite to you! when I'm about to play I spend 20-30 minutes doing scales and noodling, but no practice of the set on the day. All told, l average about 7 hours a day of whatever I'm working on on normal days though.

hey Chadu, how do you find the Black Panel DI out sound? Does the analogue cab sim complement your other pedals further up the chain?

Thanks Frank, it has to be done, you can never have enough of those 2 classics

An absolute banger Reg.
