I have them both comfortably, both mounted with Cioks Grips on a Jr Max, but they also fit on my Classic 1 as long as you are careful with the placement (need to allow for the power lead, which needs a bit more room). I wouldn't want to use them both together underneath anything 22", as it'll get a bit cramped when you have cables connected to both sides of both units. I previously used GigRig, which I also liked, but I have a couple of cable failures and as I swap my board about a lot, I found I kept needing to buy more cables as I always wanted them at the perfect length. Cioks performance was just as good, but way less hassle. I also have a small PT Nano that I use with my Moog synth and that is powered by a Cioks SOL, which is just as good. I can't imagine ever needing another power supply.

We could have a BC number, similar to mathematicians' Erdős number or the Kevin Bacon number for actors. If you have bought a bass off Basschat, or sold one, then you have a BC number of 1. If you bought/sold a bass off/to someone with a BC number of 1, then you have a BC number of 2, and so on. It would be interesting to know Kevin Bacon's BC number, and if anyone actors on BC have a Bacon number. Anyone with a low Erdős number- I salute you!

Rounds only on Precision, both on Stingray.

Maybe not insane but definitely a bit nutty even in a big place like Canada. Of course you have to be somewhat crazy to play DB and owning two of them and an EUB might be verging on insanity, but it is soooo much fun when things are going right. Certainly agree with your last sentence, it just makes you want to play and play and play....😊

Rounds only for me

Sometimes you just have to follow your heart. Ken Baldock's bass part for the theme tune to Mr. Benn. The band was led by Duncan Lamont and featured Kenny Wheeler on trumpet. And, get this. The musicians were credited at the end of each episode! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/mr-benn-theme-duncan-lamont/

Cioks is worth the money imo. I used a Caline brick previously, and it was only a little noiser, but not as flexible. I started messing with my 'new' setup, even before the Cioks 8 comes. The Wah came off because I couldn't figure out how to fit it in, as well as the ehx Tri Parallel.

I use rounds. That's just me though.

You can often find the shop that's selling the bass from the seller information and then go direct to them.

I’ve had one of these for what seems like forever but removed it from my pedalboard years ago (can’t remember why), and had forgotten about it completely. For some reason I remembered its existence the other day and set out to find it, not thinking it would likely work any longer. Anyway, I plugged it in, and it works fine. It actually sounds stunningly great and I plan to get it back onto my pedalboard. Really evens out the B string response on my 5 string. Is anybody else still using one of these, and if so, do you find the output level drops dramatically when you bypass it? Mine does this, even if switching between active and passive input levels. As I type this I wonder if that’s why I eventually removed it actually. The thing is, I like how it sounds, but it does seem to scoop the tone a bit, so not sure I’d have it on all the time. Not sure the build quality was the best on these, so perhaps mine has a defect. It has got to be getting on for 20 years old.

Also slang for the lady garden. Not a word I'd choose to use myself.

Beautifully built, documented and demonstrated. As always. Cheers Brooksie.

Hi, I'm a physiotherapy student. I'm conducting a study for my thesis on physical disorders in bass players. If you play bass, can you fill out this short questionnaire? It only takes less than 5 minutes, thanks for your help. (The data collected will be treated anonymously and used exclusively for research purposes related to my thesis. No personal information will be shared with third parties, and you can stop filling out the form at any time.) https://forms.gle/KzhcWRyaNjf9oTsz5
