Thread died before the punchline... Looks good. Need to hear it in action on YT: https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/28374-strymon-unveils-the-volante

Sorry to be obtuse but I'm fascinated with how rudimentary the layout, type-set and printing was in the 80s - pre-computers I suppose.

Think a good example of his tone is this clip of his Roddy bass with Bill Bruford on his Simmons kit with Kazumi Watanabee (Spice of Life records) Clear tone from about a 1min in...

Thanks for clarifying. Is the micro-POG digital? Otherwise we're in comb filtering danger aren't we with a slightly delayed digitally processed signal alongside the clean?

Can you elaborate how you achieved that - I'd like to give it a go? AFAIK you can't spilt the signal in the GT-1B?

A dangerous separation. Reuniting tone and music again I'd cite JB's beautiful chording and tone on 'Tokyo Dream' has a highlight.

Tune's a clunker though eh?

LoL! I think the OP is referring to JB's tone prior to their hiatus so 30 years ago. Exactly the same here! I loved his chording behind 'Tokyo Dream'. And live too where i saw him with John McLaughlin and Trilok Gurtu. I think the key element at this time was his 'Rowdy Roddy Piper' Precision with a graphite neck, single Bartolini pick-up, Badass bridge and little or no chorus. I think it got stolen and things went downhill from there tone-wise. Here it is pre-Roddy sticker. I believe the neck pick-up was never wired-up.

He was on the money with Geddy and Chris Squire though eh? Prog genius...

Oh man that's bad news. I've no experience to answer your question but I hope you're swinging again soon. *Edit: I mean in a rhythmic context. Extra points for it in a marital context.*

oof! Very nice. Intrigued with piezo in conjunction with its EMCs or are they Warwicks own?

Bit more on this... with better sound and playing...

Coo! Is it compulsory to play Prog-Math-Metal on them? How much?

Jesus Christ! A Dug, TNLB and a Plasma!? That's a galactic wormhole right there! Whatever you do, don't connect a Darkglass or it'll be the 'Big Bang' all over again...

Ok so we've been spoilt over the last few years... Tech21's pedals inc. the Dug!, Darkglass' pedals, Two Notes Le Bass and we have a new contender... Their blarney says it's a new approach. I'm not qualified to say if it is but some nice tones in the demo....

Looks like medium-scale fun...

Rick's vids are always interesting in some way... if not directly bass. I enjoyed this one... maybe I'd have a broader range of rock tones in there... maybe some Mick Karn or Mark King to reflect more the '80s between his 70's and 90's choices...

Could be the amp but the tone sounds a little thin is this vid...

Your multi effect of choice/budget, etc and a Boss LS2?

!!! Someone's going to get a bargain!

£16! Balls! I spunked £18.51... £2.51 I'll never see again. Curse you to hell Amazon. PS. What's going on with Amazon's pricing algorithm?

And now some thoughts on pick-up upgrades... albeit on the sixer..

Hmmm... not much. Unbranded parts. No provenance of the luthier. Does the headstock say 'Giokov'? Treat with caution...
