From the Dutch news: " NOS News • Friday, 22:48 Bankrupt Bax Music makes a fresh start with former director Bankrupt Bax Music is making a fresh start. Jochanan Bax, founder and former director, and investor Stijn Bakkeren are taking over the company. This is evident from an email from the curators to the dismissed staff, in the possession of Omroep Zeeland . Bax Music is one of the largest stores for musical instruments and equipment in Europe. Early last month, the company was declared bankrupt . It had been in financial trouble for some time and had previously filed for suspension of payments. Bax Music was founded in 2003 by two brothers, Nathanael and Jochanan Bax. Due to a conflict with the other shareholders, Jochanan, the sole board member, was fired earlier this year. Shortly before the bankruptcy declaration, Jochanan Bax already announced that he wanted to make a fresh start with the company in the event of bankruptcy. That now seems to have succeeded. In the e-mail from the curator, it can be read that he is trying to keep the majority of the staff. Bax Music employed approximately 300 people. Jochanan Bax was not yet available for comment on Friday evening"

Probably DTC Basses.

The most important question is surely not "is that a mod?", but "is that mod any good for metal?".

Also IdiotBox:

Maybe it’s feeling unloved? EDIT: It plainly isn’t unloved as this thread proves.

That sounds really good.

Certainly an mp3 should not be the only release format.

Yep! I wound up finding him on Facebook via the FI group there. Blue case coming this week!

Anyone see Beetronics' drop their Star Wars custom shop pedals? Some really cool designs there.

We're thinking about releasing an EP of 4 new songs, our singer is keen because he's an avid collector, we may sell a few at gigs and if we keep costs down may get our money back but I can't remember the last time I bought an album, I listen to most of my music via my phone these days, usually bluetoothed in the car. Most people I know don't buy physical albums any more, they use streaming services, which is really bad news for small artists but it's the way it is, I can't really complain because that's what I do.

Cool will have to give it a go. I'm sure I can get a little template set up in logic with all the correct routing etc and see how it compares.

Naah! The 'Made In Italy' sticker's likely right. I think it's probably a Gherson - a quick Google for 'Gherson JB' shows a bunch of different versions, none identical but with a lot of the same details across them. I think the bridge pickup's not original, looks like a new-ish DiMarzio with those black hex poles. Looks like the tuners also may have been changed, the way the D unit's hanging off the headstock doesn't exactly look 'factory'! Do you have a neckplate pic? Anyway, I think it's pretty cool, I'm a sucker for a bound dot board on a J.

Aww!

Yes, there is a big issue that makes no sense and is causing problems, the front end (cloudflare) has a pointer to where the site is, the pointer decided to point to the old site (basschat and guitarchat as I am sure you will remember changed server at the start of feb), now the old site no longer exists, we revert it to the new site, it stays pointing at it for a few hours and then it changes itself for reasons unknown to point to the old site again (which isn't there) and goes offline.

There's an easy(ish) method on the Tone3000 website. Download an audio file, send that through the gear, upload the recording and they work it out. I guess you'd need to do a bit of matching, but it shouldn't be too bad. https://www.tone3000.com/capture
