String spacing on the GL2500 Tribute is pretty tight - I had one years ago and I think it was 16.5mm.

Absolutely - I’m all about the miniature and lightweight gear, but much of that gives plenty of cause for concern with dials and switches protruding from very droppable little boxes. Was lucky to find a suitable EVA case for the little TC head I’ve been using lately, which whilst not that tough is better than nowt. The best way of protecting this new offering would appear to be Calgon.

So what should I do with my Future Impact V3? Paper weight? 😉

I had the "not so totaly insane" idea of having a small whiteboard for Keys / Progressions etc. And a big board with the running order is a very good idea! Fixed

Unfortunately, when I took the back of to try this very thing .... it seems on this EV PA and apparently many current model PA's the backs of the Connectors are fully enclosed. I confirmed this with the Andertons Rep , as i was hoping to avoid dragging the thing down there . I fear it may be the whole amp module that they have to change to repair this issue 😐

Epic toanz, really clean.

Just bought a lovely set of black Knobs from Bob, super smooth transanction, thanks Bob...

yes mate defo factory. I'm wondering if this is actually Frank Allen's bass. My band mate bought it from Frank about 35 years ago but he passed away a long time ago, so there isn't anyone to ask It has dot markers for every fret, which is annoying because it makes finding 3,5,7,12 etc quite hard

Interesting idea - I'll have a think on how we could manage that. We have a sign-up sheet, of course, but that's not particularly clear to the people waiting.

A chalk board helps.. people can also see how long the queue us and where they are. Perhaps limit to two songs and promise a second shot if time?

So the guitarist is a bit of a virtuoso then, that D at the end is a brilliant twist.

Your Attention Please - The Scars (I still have this on gold flexi disc!)

The sound quality sounds pretty good, very hifi and the stability of the polyphonic tracking is impressive. The lack of an arp funciton is a shame though for me personally given what it's capable of otherwise. The do an arp pedal called the Tararira which was what I was confusing with this pedal.

Last night at the Chequers in Chipping Norton was rather busy. So were the two sessions before that. We're attracting a variety of players and also audience and it's getting to the point where it's hard to fit everyone and we're over-running or missing people out, or both. Not sure how to fix that. There was some good stuff played, though. Strangely, no drummers turn up; our chap has to play all night, but we usually get at least one other bassist and we had three guitarists last night. This is a jazz jam with a website which reminds people to bring charts for the band if they want to call something not in iReal, real books etc. But: Guitarist: <calls unfamiliar tune> Bassist: How does that go? G: It's in G. B: What sort of progression? G: It's a blues. B: Is it a standard 12-bar? G: No. B: What is it, then? G: It goes something like G G G G G G G D, I think. B: Do you have a chart? G: No. etc. etc.

That I think it going to be the downfall of this when owner reviews emerge, I long ago ditched attractive open front/back retro tolex head cases due to the number of times I or one of my bandmates broke controls when moving the gear around. I get that the manufacturers seem to think that this is more of an installation unit - theatre pits, rehearsal rooms, and studios - but they're all situations in which, while the unit might not be in and out of a van or car boot every day, space is still at a premium, and instruments, mic/drum stands, and various other solid objects are often being moved around with less care than should be the case (my DB's current impromptu extra soundhole is testament to the effects of a poorly placed mic stand and a clumsy musician). I've not found any evidence of the manufacturer asking bassists themselves what they need from a small form factor combo in the was Mesa/ @agedhorse have been doing recently. Perhaps they'll need to do some after the fact market research re cases etc?
