Respectfully disagree. Perhaps smaller 'Mom & Pops' stores' stock might not appeal but PMT had store/warehouses covering a broad range for beginners right through to professionals. I'm in the middle of that spectrum and sourced my great Ibby EHB-6 through PMT Leeds. Bought a ton of stuff in PMT Manchester through the years too.

Hey GX-10 users, Have any of you owners used the Div/Mix to split your signal, say for multi-band compression or to mix a clean and distorted signal? Just wondering how viable signal splitting is on this unit and, if it sounds good. Intrigued by the frequency splitting too for Squire/Sheehan like dual signal processing. Thoughts and experiences welcome…

If this decal is the serial number then it's 0471159.

@LukeFRC @grahamd My Shark Pro-active pictured I bought new so yours are still out there somewhere...

I have a Status Shark Pro-active sunburst 4-string. Great bass, plays well. Set up as a piccolo but I've not played it for years. Probably because the piccolo set came with an unwound 'G' which feels weird.

Gary Barlow on fine form last night in Manchester. Lee Pomeroy (just in shot on the right) appeared to have a ball. Also Milton McDonald on guitar left-front making a second Yes-related band member as he played with ABWH way back when they toured. Add to that Gary himself chose 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' on 'Desert Island Discs' as his wake-up call to step up the production for his music. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001h1p) However no prog last night, just Gary's solo and Take That bangers. Great show.

Do JHS DIY pedals count? A thread on their NotaDumble:

Bass the World's take:

Which they have acknowledged themselves many times. In fact, I think Chris pops up briefly to praise JE in the full documentary.

Great sound on bass and voiced differently to Darkglass. Not sure of the retail yet but JHS are usually reasonable - especially the kits.

He had such a great tone with his Alembics but that Status through a flanger and distortion? Ugh! What a mess.

Oh yes! The original is Prog's last gasp of the 70's and is vintage Holdsworth. Entry point for many Holdsworth fans. Just a great song to start then Holdsworth raises the tension to unbearable levels before the release - killing!

I think he does play the bass on many of his records... Here's UK's 'In the Dead of Night' where he nails the line.

Just saw this reel of our Swedish Maestro showcasing his Fender basses with some shred. Fretless with a pick! Sacrilege! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIatPEWJUpi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Sounds good - love the original album and the three subsequent Joni/Jaco collab albums. He played totally differently with Joni compared to his solo and Weather Report gigs.

Oh great - hope it lives up to the hype. Would love to hear you reaction/review.

I quite like the tone BUT it's ubiquitous on YouTube. I like the less intense variants such as the 'Vintage' range. That said, it looks like the Anagram can do it all, and not just distortions.

Yes - thank-you. Split and merge blocks in the signal chain... cool. Not sure I can afford £900 though...

Indeed - that's a lot for a single effects chain, even for a full on multi-echo/reverb ambient sound. I wonder if these can be split and mixed across parallel signal chains?

The EHB's are light as a feather - well worth a try.

Reflecting on the thread - I'd probably suggest that multi-scale basses are a 'refinement' rather than a 'solution'. But taken in a broader sense, with what appointments are usually paired with multi-scale, i.e. headless, extended range and lightweight bodies, these collectively lead to entirely new form factor. Compared with Leo's originals (still great), multi-scales balance better, are lighter, more transportable, have even string tension and have a broader range, so in that wider regard, do comprise a 'solution' for modern playing styles and situations. P.s. I sound like an advert!

Not sure if this multiscale thread has covered the variance in multiscale geometries. That Charlie Hunter guitar has an extreme one, whereas some Ibanez models have a relatively gentle one. Also, the target of the multiscaling can vary up and down the fretboard. For example, having the straight frets at the 9th fret creates slants at the nut and in the upper register, whereas placing the straight frets at the 12th fret or higher results in a more extreme slant in the lower register but a relatively gentle one in the upper register. I think it's generally been a good thing, but maybe not as revolutionary as it looks.
