The Begringer ADI21 is a Paradriver clone

Even a mega comfy and capacious Skoda Superb estate gets torturous after ten hours traveling before the gig, LOL!

I didn’t realise that you took my Peugeot. TWOCker

have you not read over the last 8+ years why Scott wears a glove ? I wonder if a playing style with lots of hammer ons and pull offs, bends, vibrato and fretting hand tapping might exacerbate it or if there is a genetic component that makes some more susceptible ? Even diet may have a role, Scott has stated being on atkins style diet seemed to reduce his symptoms so he could shed, record and gig more

I assume you mean being trapped in a mobile torture chamber on wheels for ten hours, @Geek99 ? 🤣

Thanks Dave, will def still be playing, got my non gigging classic rock band and a new (to me) Sandberg Superlight California TT to make that easier. Spot on

Reality.

Ok … I have a newer, higher bar to aspire to 👍 edit- there is a parallel universe where I’m even half that capable but sadly I don’t live in it 🤷

Is that a statement or a warning ? 😂 Dave

Nice Stingray. Got a notion for one at the moment but need to get some more gig money first 😂 Dave

No one leaves basschat whilst still breathing

when you know its time, you know and i wish you all the very best in whatever else you get up to Lozz. Hopefully not giving up bass completely and you'll still be on BC as normal. Dave

I think, this is from situations I've been in, it's the continuous wash of a 'what are the chords?' ( rather than a specific part) chord bashing type guitarist. Particularly on a piezo equipped acoustic into a PA. I've never found any amount of, or quality of, bass gear that can cope with the lack of space in the arrangement. Keyboard lefthand obviously also. I would always choose the right part played at the right time on mediocre gear over the opposite. I remember reading an article with George Massenburg being asked about how you make a great record. He just said all you need is a great musical arrangement....he didn't say one of his mega fancy mastering EQs or anything.

Coming to China is always an option 😁 There's a direct flight from London to where I live twice a week.

For £130 GBP delivered to you in the U.K., you won't find a better combo and it ticks all your boxes @sshorepunk ... it also has a tilting handle on the underside to use it as a wedge. Really the best buy for you. I toured with just this and a fretless in a fusion band (two electric guitarists and a light touch drummer/percussionist) for a year, and was always complemented for my tone by everyone including the sound engineers.

I’ve been to one of those .. Bob geldof did a very, very half-hearted set and girlsschool did their best to look like travel agents on a lunch break Only highspot was watching the very petite Enid from girlsschool wrangle a p bass very adroitly

Yes, I've recently picked up a Melvin Lee Davis NU-X preamp and that certainly sorts stuff out. Haven't tried it with the Space 4 yet, though.
