For a bit of long term feedback on the 32 bit float recording I've been using a Tsacam Portacapture x8 for nearly a year now after my Zoom H6 fell of a mic stand. The Portacapture is basically the same as the H6 except rather than the minimal approach of the new "essential" it goes the opposite way with a big touch screen interference. Whilst I love the interface (although you pay a premium for it). It is the ease of the 32 bit float recording that I love. It's just so easy. I was using it on Saturday evening (as ambient mic for in ears but also to record) and half way through the gig realised the monitor feed I had as an extra input was coming in red hot and blasting the input. Listen back afterwards and no issues. Just throw it into he DAW and hit "normalise" on the audio track and it's as if you set the most perfect gain.... love it. And from my experience with products from Zoom, I'm sure they'll be great, although really very ugly?

I just had the last night of the shows and the fretless went down a treat, it really make the difference for those pieces. All thanks to the amazing @Roger2611 for being the amazing person to actually let me borrow their bass! Top man, had great chats when I picked it up and I'll be in touch to drop it off again. When I made the initial request I wasn't sure it was possible...but hats off to the BassChat community and of course @Roger2611

Thank you @MrDinsdale works like a charm! Label setting would be great (e.g. rename "DIV1 CH. SEL", to be something meaningful like "Input Toggle" or something) but this works perfectly for my situation. Cheers!

Seems like a simple thing but I can't find the answer anywhere online. I have a patch on my GT-1000 Core which has 3 controls. 1. Engage Octave 2. Engage Chorus 3. Change input (switches between input 1 (fretless bass) and input 2 (fretted bass) The issue I have is that my 'engage oct' is not a straight forward FX it's a 'Div' => 'Oct' => 'eq' => 'mix' so that both the FX and eq get engageded at the same time meaning the display says "DIV2 CH. SEL" instead of "FX1 OCT" as you might expect. So as you can see from the photo, I have to remember that: DIV2 CH. SEL = "Octave" DIV1 CH. SEL = "Toggle inputs" Surely there is a way for me to rename the display to some alternative text rather than remembering what every 'Div' is controlling for every patch? Anyone know how?

I use the comply foam tips, I'm pretty sure you'll need 500 core size but the full compatibility chart can be downloaded here: https://complyfoam.com.au/compatibility/#:~:text=Comply™ Foam Tips are,or see compatibility chart below.

I bought a Bow Quiver from Rosie C. Great communication, super prompt delivery and well packaged in excellent condition. Thank you!

Oh wow, that really might work? I'm sure I'll be heading within the vicinity of Northampton before Jan. That really might work. Thanks so much for the offer, I'll PM you.

I know of Nick but I don't know him to ask for a bass. As is common, bassists don't know bassisits, since there's only ever one per band so we just don't meet, so I might see if any of my mutual musical acquaintances know him or other bassists in the area well enough for that sort of request. If I fly to Japan via London I could have the pick of them! It'll only cost me a few airline tickets and some hobnobs!! Sounds sensible to me 🤣

Rehearsals and shows are the 21st to the 28th of Jan. Won't need it any longer than that, give or take the 'practicalities' of arranging pickup/drop off.

Interesting offer, I'll see if anything more local turns up. (Pm'd)

Unfortunately not, thanks for the kind offer though. Although it's probably worth me saying I am used to playing 4, 5 and 6 string basses so they are all an option
