Killer playing. Im a fellow Kiwi, born in Napier 1975 vintage. I presume you are a fellow Kiwi....

Yeah they wrote that record. I was as surprised as you. They are utterly awesome the AWB

So tonights gig, because I couldn't get the sound I wanted on the last gig and had a not great gig because of it, I thought I might as well take the ME90B with me. I also have new strings and cleaned the frets. Because obviously I only got the 90b on friday and haven't had much time with it, just a play around last night, I didn't want to go to crazy, but noticed that in preset mode, P1 is a straight(ish) sound with a bit of an amp model, P2 is an overdriven valve amp with dirt and P4 is a wah thing, so I figured I could use those basic tones to get most of what I needed. The keyboard player is MIA tonight, so back to the 4 of us. So for most straight songs I used P1, for something with a lot of dirt I used P2, and for things that were just a bit rocky, I used P2, turned preset mode off and turned of the drive section, for a mid drive level. For funky music I used 4, and found that if you engaged the pedal you got to change the frequency of the filter of the wah and that was huge fun. For Whole Lotta Love, I could go for P2, start without the drive, add the drive in the middle and turn the echo section on, adjusting the delay until it was right (that I managed to do in the song gap - I could have used tap tempo but forgot). for Who Knew, back to P1, then off preset and mod on with a chorus, and just turned the dials up, putting the time to the end it is like a CE1 chorus like I had so it sounded familiar. The only think I missed out on what 'are you going my way' when I normally have an octave, but didn't know we were playing that until it started, and I hadn't selected it (forgot I could set the pedal to octave, until half way through the song). I had a great gig, really enjoyed it, and honestly the sound in my IEMs was so great, sounded just like the bass going through a series of different amps and pedals. It didn't sound even slightly digital and at no point did I not know how to get something I wanted. Love this pedal.

The control knobs are in a completely different place.

It would put me off - I don't like irreversible mods generally. I would only do this to a bass if I was pretty certain I was going to keep it.

I think maybe they are - seems odd like you said, I am sure they could wedge a SY-1 in there at least, just a couple of presets from it. I suppose it does have a effect send / return (which I used tonight for a sample player as our keyboardist was off) for putting other effects in

I use one of these RTX TRT to raise my Vanderklay 210 and amp. Pretty robust and doesnt wobble about the place 🤣

I don't really want a funeral. I'd rather have people I love have a party. But if there was to be a funeral I'd like Jugband Blues as the last and maybe only song. I'd be wearing a Liverpool shirt. I'd need to hire six strong men to lift the coffin at the right time (when the jug band starts playing) and skip happily towards the exit with my remains bashing around inside it. Then stop as Barrett starts to sing again. And walk in a who cares manner to the car that will take me to the cremation. I want my ashes spread in the river that runs through my city and into the sea. That's the only thing that is important to me. It's probably not legal which is a plus. Anyone attending should have plenty of drinks. Edit: Walk in music: Neurosis, "Lost". Find the first samples fitting and love the song. and I'd have this one as well:

Does anyone here have an '81 4001? If so, how's the neck profile? I can't deal with a chunky neck. I have a 1980 that I like a lot and used to have a '76 that was skinnier. I'm looking at a '81 online that I fancy but am nervous about the profile around that time. My '80 is 23.2mm/0.92inches at the 2nd fret. Same at the 5th and 23.6mm/0.93inches at the 12th. So barely any taper at all. I will be happy if this '81 is the same or very close. Does anyone have a '81 and a caliper they could use get any specs please? I understand that individual instruments may vary slightly, so I'm looking at general trends for the year. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help. NOTE- I originally posted this appeal in the wrong section. Mods, please delete the previous post in the 'Rickenbacker Porn' thread.

Five Minutes of Fame ～ Twisted Nerve

Great British Tribute Festival at Newcastle Upon Tyne with the Elton John tribute. Proper trek from the midlands but a really good gig. Still currently on the road getting home, waiting for my McDonald’s coffee to arrive…

Can definitely agree with all of this, including the awful compressor and especially the aftercare.

Marshall VBA400 and the GK700rb (would likely be an 800rb but never had the chance). I have no idea what the last one would be tbh. Never cared for the Ampeg stuff for me but love how it sounds with other people and it doesn’t get much more iconic so probably and SVT.

So sorry for your loss

I would say OC-5 that’s what I use

I am about to commission a fretless neck, and am leaning toward the dots and edge-markers here. Before I finalise the order, are there any other options that I can consider?

I use this for controlling my C4 with the dmc.micro. it isnthe same as the gHost adapter. I think it just has to specify otg I have the longer one as well https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08QNCW2TX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image In fact you just reminded me to order another spare.

That was a fugly bass before the termites got at it.

I don't care, I won't be there — might be amusing to get this played though
