Which branch is giving you this crap?

Probably for the best. In my experience it's the married guitarists that have a tendency to ruin the band.

This is a few years later, if you like that style you might like this

Have they got a picture of a more matched one in their site, if so there’s your argument, you wanted one that resembles what they’re advertising.

How about Elon?

Is it possible to have a full picture of the bass front and back?

And there you have it folks! She lives! The bridge is actually really easy to operate and set up. Even fitting was a breeze as the furthest mounting hole lines up perfectly with a standard 5 screw bridge. Used some old witch hats I had in my box o junk and I think I will leave them on inkeeping with the occult theme Just got to wait 7 weeks to actually play it after dislocating 2 fingers in my right hand. Peace out!

As I wrote earlier Macca could do it as he said he could have bought Fender when they were close to bankruptcy... That said Peter Jackson could certainly do it too.

In that case you still have time to return it . Go onto those sites and shame them ! Maybe have a look on moneysaving expert or similar for a template to write to them. Don’t be fobbed off on the phone ! Do everything in writing. Cc the head office/ ceo on an email . 🤞you get the desired resolution

Overwaters are my all time favourites and I have played many brands since '75.

Dunno about the punk thing, but I know that he put together a Thin Lizzy tribute for just a (I think) single gig!

More generally, my initial thoughts on the GX10 having had it for a week or so now are: - form factor is good and it's got a reassuring weight to it reflecting its rugged build; - really like the touchscreen colour interface, which is a nice step up from the GT1000 Core; - the editing software is easy to get to grips with (I guess helped by familiarity with the Core's similar software) and I've quickly figured out a standard clean preamp patch with a div / mix insert ready to put in whatever fx I fancy e.g. Touchwah up / down or Tremolo / Clean etc. It has a drag and drop approach which feels a little more intuitive to me than Core's more 'formal' standard patch layout. Although it's not got the processing power of the GT1000 Core, it shares a considerable number (maybe substantially all?) of the fx patches / effects with its more powerful sibling with the same parameter options and I suspect it will be more than capable for most of my needs as a gigging bassist. I feel I may have finally found the spiritual successor to the Zoom B1-4 as a standalone gigging board, which my little B1-4 sufficed as for a couple of years pre Covid. The key thing I need to see if I can figure out next is how to assign the expression pedal to control parameters, other than being solely a volume pedal, but from @SumOne's earlier posts this shouldn't hopefully be too tricky and will open up some useful additional flexiblity for live use. Finally...who knew that a Slicer fx could be so much fun?! It's got 20 preset slicer patterns and I've taken a shine to #13. Looking forward to seeing my bandmates reaction when that gets unleased on them at the start of 'Freed from desire' on Sat night!

Danny seems like a normal lad and a good player. He has tried for a long time to get where he has, and now it is paying off. He is one of those players who can genuinely play well either plectrum or finger style. I tend to find especially with fingerstyle players, they don't seem to nail it as much with a plectrum. Not sure his bands are that great....YET. I think he has potential though. It seems a bit 'punk by numbers'.....like my first punk band (even though his playing is WELL beyond that). Curious...is his dive into the punk scene a new thing?

No I'll be taking an M-Pulse and a rather interesting Mesa cab with 1x10 and 2x6 (essentially top part of a 1516). I've yet to find a room in which that rig sounds anything less than bloody good Top cab here....

I use the same amp settings and use the tone control (on the rounds bass) to make any adjustments. My gigging basses are all Precisions, so the basic difference between the two types of string is often fine (for me).

Its pretty incredible they have kept it going for as long as they have on their own, I assumed they had been bought by a big player decades ago. Its a very niche product as a core instrument I can't see why someone wouldn't buy the license to use the name and build these going forward, but I can't see anyone saving the business.

He probably used to play bass but was led astray by the dark side

Hofner make excellent instruments, and not just basses.

Thank you very much for the answer. That's bad news, I was considering buying a standalone analog synth for this song but seeing that the FI4 had MIDI in I guessed I could upgrade the Akai DI to the FI and use it with an external keyboard. If it is not possible to trigger the synth at the same time with the audio input and the MIDI in, at least it would be very interesting having the option to switch between both modes easily. I hope you'll be succesful in achieving that. Thank you very much for your efforts!

Having managed to source a GX10 for a very decent used price from my longstanding BC "Boss Multi supplier", I thought I'd give the Touch Wah a spin given your query! It's pretty good! Particularly liking it on BPF setting and the fact that I can switch from up to down sweep with the press of a button having set up a divider on the main signal chain path, which is very easy to do. I personally prefer it the up sweep over the down sweep. I'd be perfectly happy to use the filter patch with my band. I can't comment on how it compares to their Touch Wah pedal though, as I've never had one. Hope that helps!
