I'd add Steve Khan's 'Modern Times' to the Anthony Jackson must-listen list as AJ is nice and clear in a trio context and it's not Latin, which let's face it, can get on your tits.

Never played one but the appointments and action make this bass look awesome... I think 5s are more common. Was there even a 6er?

... and here's the bass on 'potato cam'... Bad pic, nice bass though. What does the 'GPS' mean? Is it for touring musicians to be able to shout, "Good evening Tipton!" with 100% accuracy?

Right well since you don't appear to have any gumption, here are some links to get you started... Dan Veall's gear reviews, Pedal show for effects, Adam Neely for bass theory and much more... These are just individual links to specific vids... take a look at their sites to see more good stuff... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UUJLy_68O8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8CEWWZ4F8o&t=709s https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWTj3vCqkQIsrTGSm4kM34g https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=that+pedal+show+josh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC6gbo3sZ_0 The only thing going for BP or BGM (as they are the same now) is that you can read it when you have a s**t. Actually I take my iPad/laptop into the toilet for a long session (sorry for TMI).

Jeesh, get a search engine

Just glanced at the latest issue on the stands... It's the UK mag with the US cover. Pretty dismal... advertising rag for Warwick... Oh! with a Jim Roberts column thrown in at the end.

Funny thing DAve and I respect your opinion. I'm 180 degrees opposite to your view. Geddy has some stellar recorded tones on his Rick and Jazz (Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures especially) but his Wal flap had no bottom or grit. Awful and it didn't help that it coincided with their pursuit of tech over songs; Ged's penchant for chording and a loss of the mix to synths. I know Wals can sound good though, so I blame Geddy and their producers at that time.

Kate Bush's, "50 Words for Snow" - it is December!

I'd take the unit and your headphones back to the shop and get them to check it... The promo for this trades on the zero set-up required so it's odd you get nothing except the tuner. Possible failure in the output circuitry. Get the shop to check and maybe try another unit?

My vote - gorgeous breaking up P-bass tones. Plus everything else is incredible too - songs, musicians. Stuff of legend.

Oof! I like the fact GW gets props from the mighty Pat Meth!

Two Notes and a dUg? Thanks like taking shampoo AND conditioner into the shower...?

Interesting question - I don't know the answer but I'd bet it's the former: straight across. Plenty of Dingbats on the forum... many with rulers too!

Nice looking bass... good VFM for £350

1) Yes - once you understand the user interface - the small buttons form the effect chain, click a button to bring focus to that 'pedal' then edit the parameters as if it were a stand-alone floor pedal. Bit fiddly to start, within 30mins you'll be able to do this quickly. 2) Yes and no - bass synths for me are near unusable - unreliable tracking and random level-changes. Octaver tracks well - very usuable. Similarly, the rest are good too: modulations, limiters/compressors, etc. Effect chains can get noisy and difficult to tame, particularly when multiple effects/simulations with gain are chained. Find a shop with both (B3, etc) and give them a go...

Erm best contact Status. I don't believe it is but as they're custom makers, they could probably make one for you specifically although at a price. Best check second-hand markets and put a Wanted ad out on BC here... You've a near miss with me as I have a Shark 2 active I'm thinking of moving on from the same era.

Antidote - focus on the music not the makers... if it's good, then it's good regardless of the politics, facial hair or microchips of the music maker. (I guess enjoying say, Hitler's music if he were a composer might cause an ethical dilemma but for most situations I recommend the above...) ** Edit: the opposite also applies - not everything this next generation of multi-instrumentalists and hyper-bassists is good, regardless of pedigree, chops, #strings, etc.

Give the Boss GT-1B a go. Fulfills your criteria of <£200 and an expression pedal. But then you say 'stomp box orientated' which I think is more the B3n's thing. You'll have to compromise a little - perhaps a B3n and a cheap expression pedal might fit the bill?

Enjoy the anticipation... So what finish did you go for? Any special requests? Whammy bar?

He did Ronnie Scott's with Dean Brown... wish I'd seen that!

So's mine... EMG's on yours too? *Edit... just re-read you post #embarrassed

You are right... Warwick can be a bit naughty shape-wise. I believe there's a similar tale with the Buzzard shape too.

Well done Lowdowner - you got my irony. Looks lovely BTW

That's good. A bit of a rare bird so likely to surface at some point...

> reminds me of a Warwick thumb in many ways No looks like a Streamer copy
