I don't like crowds so I play jazz.....

Make it a bass chat meet up? I didn't go to watch Amy Winehouse (before the Black album) because I didn't want to go alone. Then never got to see her at all. Massive missed opportunity. A friend of mine went through a divorce and she went to loads of gigs on her own, ended up making a massive network of friends. I'm not saying you're in that position, but at a gig you never have to be on your own. Unless it's one of my gigs, then it might just be you and the bar staff 😜

Yeah - I'm in East Mids so it's a bit of a hike and I'd have to spring for a hotel on the night too. Zero members of my family would be interested in going.

+1^^ re being keen to find out when the next software update will be for the FI. Peter's previously indicated he can't give us an estimated date unfortunately, but will hopefully be sooner than Luke's pedals coming up for sale. Helpful comment re. fast tracking on the MXR - thanks! Also @BigRedX "Also who is to say that someone with a more conventional pedalboard set up already has both room and PSU capacity for an additional synth pedal." Aww come on 😅?! Anyone on this thread looking to buy the MXR or FI etc will make room or get a bigger pedal board, if they decide to get one.

I’ve ordered one too, should be with me in a few days

So i eventually succumbed to this......

I love Vulfpeck, and I have travelled to London to see them before. However, my main focus is Joe Dart and having seen him up close on small stages in two of his other bands, and only had to drive a half hour, I know my preference. Big gigs just aren't my thing any more.

I really like both. The way the tenor banjo is played makes me forget it's a ... banjo and it sounds like it was written for him, great interpretation, congratulations. The guitar version is really lovely too, very wooly and woody sounding with great articulation and these Aquila strings are very even, congratulations again!

Bought a Rush book, probably struggling to make sense of it like me! Great buyer happy days.

as above, top chap, I rehomed his lovely Rush book, excellent comms, postage, everything, credit to bc

Based on this thread and me not really needing one, I ordered one from Amazon last night 😅. I play mostly with a pick and have good palm muting, but occasionally I do play finger style and like the thud a muted string gets.

I can promise you all this - if I ever get to do an international tour outside Japan I will definitely buy both an actual key synth, a MXR and FI4vip and take them all around the world - comparing them for all my basschat fans. You'll then see at least one of the three in the for sale section here post tour. This is my solemn promise to you all.

With the same thought process, why do we need any pedals/processors? Why do we spend our bassy lives trying to chase the right amp/bass tone, if none of it matters?

Ah - I don't have any of their products. I suppose it will give me a day to think about if I want to do London on a work night.

Jonas always said that the 36v premap was modelled on a Neve board - which he apparently favoured for studio use. The sheer voltage wasn't for outright volume but headroom, or clarity of signal at higher outputs. Why that mattered so much to Jonas at that particular moment, I'm not sure, but if you look over his career you'll see he was always very interested in tone and the sculpting of his sound through his gear. His signature gear like his Sound of Sweden basses or his Warwick amps were always unique in some regard, in accordance with what Jonas wanted at the time.

These are on sale on a daily deal at Guitar Guitar for £849

Thanks LeftJ. Unfortunately this one requires care and attention I am not qualified to give.
