As others have said the holds of all modern planes are pressed and temperature controlled. Animals are regularly transported this way. Your cab will be fine, although it would be best cased or otherwise properly packaged as though you were going to send it by carrier service. About 10 years ago someone on the SOS forum did a test with a max/mim thermometer in their hold luggage. I can't find the thread right now otherwise I would have posted a link, but the outcome was that the hold temperature pretty much corresponded to the cabin temperature for the flight. The only time in the last 25 years I have flown in a plane where the hold probably wasn't pressurised and temperature controlled, all the important luggage was transported in unused seats in the cabin under scrim netting. Also the whole flight was at an altitude low enough for me to easily make out vehicles on the roads we passed over so there wouldn't have been much pressure difference in unpressurised hold compartments.

You'll need to get a small file, as it'll be slightly too big for the pickguard.

In terms of QC captures, I think there is a lot more to it than capturing a single sound. Its effectively machine learning, the QC sends all kinds of signals into the device it is capturing for several minutes and "learning" what each signal makes the device do. So, in effect it absolutely does capture amp break-up and reproduces it rather well.

There was one for sale some years ago in France at a decent price, when I was in my JD years, it took to time to sell and I should have bought it, but preferred an immaculate white Mark King "signature". 🤷

No that's a CW-2; that's one of the later one's that doesn't have the graphite through neck though I believe it could still be ordered with the carbon fibre shell like on the original CW-1.

You don't need to be a master of 'online etiquette' to understand saying 'Insert Name Remembered' 100% suggests they've died, in any context. I don't see a single ''histrionic'' response, until the 'world gone mad' comment, that is.

Lozz, I've had 4 of the Alder bodied ones through my hands, they've all been near as dammit 7.5lbs. The ash ones are a pound heavier. Alder is used on the relic and gloss painted ones. I know what you mean regarding Thomann's enquiries on specific basses though; I bought a B stock Lionel from them last year and enquired on the condition before buying. I was assured it was just a return and it had minimal signs of handling; as it was a soft relic I was happy with this and placed the order. When I received the bass it was in a rough condition, the back was ripped up with buckle wear and it was grime ridden. In comparison to the gold soft relic I already had it looked like it had been dragged behind a car. It went back but it took me 6 weeks (and a couple of email reminders) before I got my money back.

I must say, I'm becoming more and more enamoured with the idea of the Anagram. It sounds great based on YouTube demos. Being able to have a few NAM pedals might make my external effects redundant too. My main sticking point is the three footswitches. I'd need a MIDI footswitch with an expression pedal input of some sort to make it more useable for me. I was playing around with a pedalboard designer based around the Anagram and my current needs if money was no object and this is what I came up with. That's on a Harley Benton Spaceship 40, so not a huge board.

This is getting silly. @Dood - you need to cover break up of amp models in a mini review!

2 years is after they actually put in an extra production line a few years ago! If they hadn't done that, then it would have been 4! I got mine in 1 year almost to the day in 2023.

It was an innocent mistake by someone who probably didn’t understand the normal etiquette on a forum. The histrionic responses are what they are. Polite personal message could have sorted it all out. Guess it’s how forums work. Hey ho. I need a lie down…

UPDATE: Zoom Effect Manager 2.2.0 works as plug&play with my B1Xfour as with all my other (previous gen) Zooms. And no, effects can't be "migrated" from one gen to the other. It's generation coherent, meaning, depending on the model you connect it shows available effects from any SAME GENERATION devices. The good thing is ZEM also compresses effects for the B1Xfour (same as it does with previous models). I had 80 something FX at 100% memory (previously tuned with zoom-zt2, so no compression). When plugged to ZEM it showed less than 80% used. So I kept adding stuff (mostly more guitar and bass amp/cab/drive sims, the upright effect from the A1four and a couple more reverbs/delays -I keep SFX/REV/DLY categories minimalistic, I don't use those much-). I ended up with 111 effects at 100% memory with ZEM. Not the outrageous 182 effects my MS-60B holds inside, but still real cool 👍

The world has gone mad because a few people pointed out how the old headline was clickbait and strongly implied the bloke had died? Time for a lie down mate. It's going to be ok.

I have patellar tendonitis and use CBD oil through a dab pen, which really helps with the pain and swelling. But it's best when it's taken regularly over a period of time. A one off dose here and there may not be as effective.

I wrote to MarkBass they kindly replied with this : "Regarding your MB58R 102 cab, generally there shouldn't be any issues with placing it in the hold for air travel, as we frequently ship our cabinets this way without problems. However, to be safe, it would be wise to ensure it has adequate protective packaging. Unfortunately, we have occasionally seen instances of significant damage due to rough handling during luggage transport."

I have a Squier Bronco Bass I leave in the car when I play double bass gigs. It’s basically insurance if anything goes wrong with the big dog. I can see the appeal of a cheapo bass. I’d buy one local to me on FB marketplace or Gumtree.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood then. Yeah I’d expect a dynamic amp effect to break-up in the standard way. If it doesn’t, that is somewhat odd. Si
