No. It was pixelated out on the original sale advert, so pretty obvious what was going on. There wasn't any communication from the seller.

Your wish is my command.

I was going to suggest the Boss XS-100/XS-1 but then checked the price... similarly spendy as the above. I'd have to check but the EHX Mono Bass Synth might do something that fits the bill when paired with an expression pedal.

Enjoy! Good choice on the colour too!

I have joined the club! I'm hoping that part of the reason I don't play at home much is the suitability of the stuff I have - the Markbass Mini CMD121P IV combo is neighbour annoyingly loud at like 1 on the master, has no aux in, no use for practising at all. Up until now, I have been using my backup head (TC Electronic BH250) and that's OK, but it's headphone only unless I trot out a cab too, and while it has advantages (like the built in tuner) and has aux in, it's just a PITA to set up, especially for a quick blast, so I tend not to bother. I've seen this thread with interest and watched a bunch of videos which didn't seem to be full of excrement which showed it in a favourable light, so I decided to go for it. Got it on a deal on Amazon (ordered 12th December, in case you were wondering if a confession was needed in the Gear Abstinence thread...), took a while but it finally arrived today. I'm very impressed! I went in with reasonable expectations - I know it's not going to pull up any trees, and it's going to inevitably be a bit on the boxy side of tone, but it isn't half bad for all that. Better in headphones than out loud, but not awful. Bluetooth is less laggy than I was expecting, which is good when you're following music/tab on a screen whilst playing - it's still a wee bit behind but a lot less than previous Bluetooth devices I have tried to use to make aux in be cable free. Haven't played with the USB audio interface part of it yet, but I've been using it for over 90 mins now with Bluetooth on, and the 11200mAh@5V power bank I have been using it with is still showing 4 out of 4 lights - which seems bonkers to me! It'll probably just switch off all of a sudden, but it's still working as I type! I may return with more thoughts at a later date, but I think this is an excellent piece of kit and I'm very glad to remove at least one excuse for not practicing as much as I should...

Very nice, I was strongly considering one of these before I settled on the Cort Artisan Space, hope you enjoy it!

My BB1100S has conventional, Fender style P pickup. My Spector has reverse P

Very nice. I like a nice classic. That looks considerably older than my 70's/80's bikes

You people are all in league with BIG FX and are forcing me to spend big money on boutique stuff. Shame on you.

Nano Cortex. Get your preamps in there. Sell them all. Which will pay for the Nano Cortex. I am fully aware that there are subtleties which would be lost as different instruments interact with different front ends in different ways. But as soon as the Guitarmageddon kicks in, those subtleties will disappear anyway.

At some point I'll think about logistics like paying the balance on the hall and how to setup in advance on the morning. Volunteers very welcome. I'm not as organised as Scrumpymike who has already taken advance payments and sorted out jobs for the SW bash in October!

I guess this is the most obvious thread to put this conundrum to the hive mind. I have a desk which is a slab of MDF cut to fit sideways into one side of a chimney breast. It is almost 8'x4' and I can get LOADS of stuff on to it. Of course, the problem is that having that much space means that I actually DO have LOADS of stuff on it. I have an old bloke vanity project of subjecting the world to the noise I make when I record. I can not actually get to the kit which is buried under LOADS of stuff to pursue the creative process. Of course, I could just keep the desk tidy. But I cannot. I am not wired that way. I have been wondering about a writing bureau with the innards ripped out and mounting a widescreen monitor in there. This would be exclusively a workstation which could be closed, and the room would look significantly less cluttered. I would need monitor speakers on external stands. It looks as if my idea would need a supersized bureau, which does not seem to exist. I am not going to commission one because that would be ridiculous money. I have twin visual monitors at the moment, but could go for an ultrawide jobbie quite happily. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've seen that some musicians on tour often have "vitamin" injections. The kind of "vitamins" that need to be given by a fully/legally qualified Doctor...

Just a warning if anyone fits a hi mass bridge then decides to remove it and fit the smaller BBT style you will have indents in the bass body finish Happened to me on two Player Series basses

Ahem... How about a Behringer BDI21 for £15 UK Posted? Cheap bit of Backup Insurance

Yeah but with IEM’s in and on stage with spill, ambient etc, you still have more than just bass in your ears, so its still not really going to be noticeable IMO.

Very true! But push that argument a little further and you end up concluding: "why bother with pedals at all?" I guess tonally what some folk are content with, won't cut it for others? Personally I'm super happy with the digital drive that my Boss GT1000 Core and GX10 provide, and actually prefer it to half a dozen standalone drive pedals sitting on my shelf waiting to be sold... But I think the point is what we hear on stage from our amps, or via our IEMs, plays a key part in how much we enjoy performing. No one is going to pay more attention to the bass tone than the bassist, ie us, right?
