Hi , I’ve got the pro version and I think it’s really good, I believe the difference is the pro has more amps, cabs and pedals to choose from, I’d say it’s worth the difference in price, others more knowledgeable will probably advise more, this thread might be helpful

Do you have to translate the transcript for them ? 😂 Dave

I post everything on there already, Dave, so they should know about it already. Maybe the Russians or Chinese have discovered it!!

Just one question (I asked before, but it got buried in this burgeoning thread). How bright is the screen, and it bright enough to see outdoors in direct sunlight?

I checked, and you are correct - the spare driver I have has a cast chassis. I'm now on the hunt for some possible presses candidates, and will have to see if @Bill Fitzmaurice will do a few calculations for me. Thanks all - the BC hive mind at its' finest! JRK

You can't, not really. Any mic including any drum mic is going to pick up everything that happens on stage to a greater or lesser degree as well as picking up audience noise. If you have meters on your mixer you can see the background noise. That's the thing; you have two concerns about bleed, the smearing of your sound due to unwanted noises coming in through the mics and of course genuine feedback. Pretty much any mic on stage will be a directional mic and they all favour sounds coming straight at them. Cardioid mics have a 'dead spot' down the other end of the barrel and with super cadioids the dead spot is on the side. Anything pointing at the mics is going to reduce your gain before feedback and increase the cr*p coming through the PA. At low sound levels you can get away with monitors behind you in that you avoid feedback but you will still degrade the sound for the audience. It's a judgement call as to how much bleed you deem acceptable. It's possible it will be unnoticeable compared with room reverberation and audience noise. The one thing I always say though is that whatever works in practice is good.The science helps make good choices and gives you a lot of help when things aren't working but the human interaction between you and the audience is the important thng. The tech just gets you there. I sing a little, I've a strong voice but can be pitchy if I can't hear the monitors. My best happens when I can hear what the audience hears and the sound levels on stage are really well down. I love in-ears generally but somehow at low levels (ie no drummer) and floor monitors I find singing a lot easier. I can understand those who like to be in front of the PA even if technically it poses problems.

I recently purchased a 1995 Japanese Fender Jazz - a ‘62 reissue with dark cherry foto flame finish. It’s one of the smoothest necks I’ve played and it sounds wonderful with a set of Thomastiks! However, the foto flame finish is very cracked and starting to peel away in some areas. I’m considering having it taken back to the wood and resprayed in a period accurate colour. I’m on the fence between Fiesta Red, Shell Pink or Black - all with a tortoiseshell scratch plate. Also considering a nitro, rather than poly, finish. Good idea? Any opinions on colour? There’s always the option to keep the foto flame…

What’s the word on the street as to when some more stock will hit the shelves? Feeling very left out ATM!

Our EVRI driver is amazing. We usually cross paths with her when we’re out walking the dog in the morning. She will always wave us down and let us know whether she has anything for us and if she has, roughly what time she will make it to our house. A truly lovely human being.

Can anyone tell me about the relative merits of these respective models? What practical advantages does the Pro version offer? Is it worth spending £25 more than the basic version? I want to buy a headphone amp for home noodling, playing along to YouTube ect and the Nux seems to be the only Bluetooth option. I'm not planning to use it for anything more ambitious than that. I'm not very tech-orientated, to put it mildly, so simplicity and less options might be a good thing in certain respects Any experience, advice or suggestions much appreciated.

Bought a 5 with single pu and refinished it. The paint was falling off, and not in a nice way. So I stripped it . The pickguard was cracked in three pieces so I made a new one Very nice to play and lovely feel, neck, knobs and all IMG_20250214_112627.heif

Maybe its been mentioned on TB Rob ? Dave

Nate Navarro just dropped a P vs J bass battle video. P is the clear victor in my ears:
