You can add a multi switch foot pedal to the Stomp and have them assigned to different blocks. I get what you are saying, i too find the multi FX stuff as being less accessible, but i also realise if im playing with two hands i wouldn’t be messing with knobs anyway. it’s just dining what works for your mind set. Maybe you’re over thinking the need for a long list of effects though. It might not be as long as you think.

the Beyer's do get mentioned a lot, but the blurb also says they are suitable for mixing and mastering, which perversely puts my off, my old AT ATH WS110 wouldn't be very good for mixing, you'd probably finish up with not enough bass with normal listening, but I will see if I can try them out somewhere. I have managed to bodge up my broken headband, not sure how long they will last but it has given me a bit of time

it was worth a shot id say, I saw the cort in question on the bay but id just bought a sire z7 5 so it was off the shopping list Guyker like ripping off HS hardware, might be worth seeing if they have something with the same layout mount spacing ? I'll take the 6 Wilko bridge (i can use it on my 5 build) if you want the £20 & a few quid postage back for it? just fire me a message.

Count me in Mike. Cash is awaiting.

Be aware that there is no "standard" LP12. Depending on age and spec', they come with different electronics, different arms and carts, etc, etc. £1500 will get you a fairly basic model - LP12s hold value and the name ensures prices remain high. The LP12 is very upgradeable, but you can quickly get into spending serious amounts. It's your money, but do compare the one you're thinking about buying with similarly priced offerings from other manufacturers.

Mesa Subway combos 👍

Yes, I didn't like to show off, but I guess it was obvious from the size of the stack that something was up

Honestly, its not worth the effort! The odd saddle on the A6 works fine, just looks mildly out of place. I may replace it at some point, but doing anything to alter either the bass or the bridge isn't worth it. To me.

Bat out of hell might get into the top 20. And maybe another Bowie track or two. Given the worship for Prince on here, it's a bit surprising that he hasn't put in an appearance.

Because it was cheap, the bass in question hadn't arrived and I took a punt. 100% my risk to take. At £20 for the bridge, I'd happily take a similar punt in a similar scenario. I'm not going to loose money or sleep over it!

Very much a subjective opinion. 700 and 770 use the same drivers. I prefer (and own) the 770, especially if you want fuller bass, but that's just my choice. YMMV.

FANTASTIC You can have my 15 quid now if you want What, even my virtually-intravenous coffee addiction? Can I put in a cheeky early bagsy for a dementia/Alzheimers charity? Sadly, a cause that is very close to home.

The DiMarzio pickups usually have adjustable pole pieces so you can set the pickup heights in the usual way but fine tune the volume of each string by either lowering or raising the pole pieces with an alien key.

Another endorsement for either Adam or Kali monitors. I have a set of Adam AX7s which, you may be able to pick up second hand. I use them with a matching sub woofer as my near field setup and they're superb. I've also heard great things about the Kali 8" offerings too.

Roughly half the weight. I have them on my Aerodyne. Is the bass of far east origin? If so, you may need the GB528

I have owned a stomp and some Zoom pedals before, but not used with keyboard so perhaps I should re-consider them. My issue with pretty much any multi-fx I've tried (and I have tried most of them) is they lack that immediacy/improvisation of individual pedals chained together. The Stomp for example, say I just quickly decide while playing keys that I want to turn on a Phaser and increase its rate and then after a few seconds turn on distortion and gradually increase that: Perhaps I'm doing things wrong but I would usually figure I need to have a 'Phaser + Distortion' preset to scroll through to that'd have Phaser assigned to one FS (to turn on first), 'phaser rate' assigned as something I can easily/quickly edit with the knobs, then 'Distortion' on another FS to turn on and distortion amount assigned to knobs to increase, and what if I then decide I want to add a delay for the last notes of the song and I don't have that as a FS in the preset? I dunno, but that sort of scenario never seems to have worked out for me with multi-fx in the same way as if I just had them as individual pedals, I'd end up needing a massive list of presets to scroll through to cover every eventuality, or a big long effext chain I scroll into to activate the specific ones I need, or different footswitches assingned for different eventualities. For me, multi-fx are great for pre-planned sets with presets, and 'always on' type things (amp/cab sims, compression etc), but much less so (and less fun) for live on-the-go improvisation. ..but yeah, I conceed that I should probably re-consider how I use multi-fx as they are probably the more sensible option. The Plethora X3 looks pretty decent to me as stereo effects and the sort of hands-on features of individual pedals. Annoying it doesn't have any distortions though.

Closest I can find weights for are - the above are 61.8g each and the Schaller 70's type tuners (shorter stem but bigger button) are 102g each. Not very scientific I'm afraid.
