I was asked to play this with a few days notice on a gig. Safe to say I didn't get it down by then, but spent another week or so trying to get it nailed down:

1Kay started following Alnus Basses - Anyone got one?
-
DanDan, could you update us on the quality and some pics? I dig Luca's work and am again pondering "throwing caution to the wind..."
-
Owen started following Blister on right hand finger
-
When I blister, I put a couple of drops of superglue (liquid, not gel) on a piece of paper, rub the blister and the areas around it in it and carry on playing. I am not joking.

Hexham Abbey last night - last gig of the year for my Eagles trib, and our first 'Unplugged and candlelit' show. As you can imagine, it's a spectacular location with 'acoustic challenges'. We're lucky to have an amazing engineer - we kept the volume down, had speakers all around the audience with delays, and apparently it sounded spot-on. Lots of new arrangements, and I'm continuing to wean myself on to IEMs, so it took me a couple of songs to fully settle into it. I used my usual Handbox head, my 66RI Jazz, and my little TKS cab, just to move a bit of air around the back of my legs. It's been a great year for this band. They're an absolutely champion bunch of lads. Looking forward to a mix of electric and acoustic shows in 2026. \

USA Handmade custom BARCUS BASS 5 string Single cutaway (Sweet deal)!
ModLad69 replied to ModLad69's topic in Basses For Sale
Major Brain fart! I looked closely at that one performance (see my last pic with me onstage) back in and around 2015 and took notice that my Barcus did NOT have the dark fret markers on the neck. I ordered the bass sans fret markers and later had my friend (who works on guitars) add those fret dots for me since he if good at lining them up appropriately. I have had so many basses over the years, but this Barcus was kept in my closet and only rarely played it at home. I had 12 string, 8 string, 5 string basses, and sold them all eventually and just stayed with a few 4 string basses. Sorry for the confusion on those fret dots. I completely forgot my bass originally came without fretboard markers. I will update my for sale post wording. Thx much for taking note off that and bringing it up, brother. 👍 -
... it still sounded like Chris Squire.

I ran my fingernail gently on my fretboard and the fretboard dots feel ever so slightly raised and not actual inlays routed into the fretboard. I rarely played this 5 string. I am assuming he added the dots after finishing my bass with a slight finish coat over them to keep them from coming off or wearing down. I am still awaiting Barcus’ reply on Facebook. I think the bass actually looked better without those dots as seen in his pics. If they are surface mounted fret dots, then they can be carefully removed if the new owner chooses to do so. Stay tuned for Barcus’ reply…….. -
Boss GT 1000 / Core & GX10 Users - Patches and Ideas
Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in Effects
So is your GX10 pitch shift s good as the XS-1 (and 100)? -
And in answer to my own question, have managed to get some decently usable pitch shift patches on my GX10 ( and making me ponder whether to hold onto my dedicated Boss pitch shift pedals - OC5, XS-1 and XS-100?)
-
I was tempted to get an Elf to use as a spare amp assuming from memory they sound similar to each other ? I wish I hadn’t sold mine and although I don’t need 1200w what I do need is the remarkable sound they make. The extra watts are a bonus really
-
I've taken the liberty of widening this thread to GX10 users given the similarity of the patches and Boss editing software.

Rosie C started following How was your gig last night?

Our carol gig last Friday - this is our biggest gig of the year, with maybe 120-130 people. That's me in the top hat. Sorry, I'm not playing bass, but that was covered admirably my friend and former bass teacher. It went very well, everyone is keen to have us back next year which may be tricky, but not impossible!

Cool little phaser pedal from the JHS budget line, was on my board for the last 8 months or so but I just prefer the more simple Phase 90 for my use, the less knobs the less chance of me fiddling during gigs! It can pull off the Phase 90 vibe and also do much more extreme sounds with the feedback knob switched on. Pretty much as new except having Velcro on the bottom, with the original box and bits and pieces. Price includes UK postage, will knock £5 off for local collection

Please could someone explain this from the Overlord website about the Fujin bass? Japanese wind god, a terrifying magical demon who carries a large bag of winds on his shoulders. Often pictured alongside Raijin, and like him, our second headless bass model features a classic double-cut design. What's the double-cut design got to do with Raijin? I've lost the plot.
