Funnily enough, it was... However, we had loads when we played the Doll's House just up the road!

If you take a spare amp do you take spare cabs too? In 45 years of gigging I've seen more speakers fail then I have amps. I've solved the problem by ditching the backline entirely.

So it's just a reskin of the original Tonex One? I'm hoping so! I can see the parallel wet/dry thing being useful, but beyond that I'm really not interested in any of the added "features", as I tend to find a lot of the user created captures are better than IKs stuff anyway.

Sounds good. Could replace an Octaver, Chorus, and a hipshot drop tuner. Could even convert me from a 5 to a 4. I wonder how good it'd sound switching 4 steps down (EADG to BEAD), there are a couple of songs I'd find that useful for with a 4 string. One problem I have with pitch shifting different amounts - or just for a part of a song is getting confused! I think I'd get less confused if I've just switched to BEAD for a whole song.

It’s absolutely nuts, complex, fascinating, entertaining and funny. It’s brilliant!

Maybe you just need to order one and if it doesn't suit, send it back, Steve. I did that once with Andertons and had no problems.

Now that looks amazing, DJ. Congratulations on your lovely new bass! I was only playing along with "Rio" & "Hungry Like The Wolf" on my GB the other day. Enjoy!

A tad more info here.

I carry the ubiquitous Behringer BD121 pedal everywhere in my leads case. An absolute no brainer for less than £30. 😃

I hope they'll offer the option to audition amps and maybe buy individual models. I'm not going to pay $100 for 150 models, of which I would use 10 at most.

Polar Audio do the replacement Paragon drivers but I don't know whether they've got any in stock. Fair Deal haven't got back to me yet - emailed them on Monday to ask about progress.

Nice, looks great

I'd completely agree about the subs. I've a pair of old Wharfedales which are great but I've never used them together except for outdoor gigs. You just don't need all that bass in most venues and a single sub is enough. I've now replaced the Wharfedales with a single 905 which is pretty light for a capable sub and 10kg lighter than the Wharfedales. I'm loving this question all my gig money goes into a separate account and is used mainly to buy the gear I need to keep gigging. In the past few years I've not actually 'needed' to buy any gear as its been reliable and sounds good, I'm also happy with the basses I play. I've made no major purchases in the last 5 years apart from the 905 and coincidentally I've accumulated £5,000 in my band account. I'll be very interested in other people's suggestions £5,000 is also a very realistic figure for a regularly gigging semi pro band. Most of us are probably using gear similar to @JPJ but if your band is getting plenty of decent gigs then paying back £5,000 over a year or so is very do-able for a successful band and will allow for a noticeable improvement in sound. The EV's and Peaveys probably owe them nothing but will still recoup some money when they sell them.

Sadly it's actually heavier if going by their website (links to source) ABM EVO-IV Metal: 13.8kg ABM EVO-IV Wood: 12.5kg I agree, a gig bag would put my mind at ease immensely.

B - for the same reason that @Reggaebass gives. A nice problem to have though. Could you have a veneer cut from the side you choose for the back, so you can use it on another build later?

She's known as Panda, Pandora was the name the cat sanctuary gave her.

Glad to start this feedback thread for Nikzy, who bought a Fender Jazz from me. He was an outstanding person to deal with, great communication, immediate payment and a great experience overall. Welcome to Basschat!

Aye, and to help us elderly, they should from now be called Cardi G. This here is Cardi A, and who knows: there might even be more of these.

Excellent tunes @Wolfram and @Chiliwailer well done both. I’ll post the new challenge when I have the image
