    I’m not a fan. The SX I had years ago had the older headstock. I have a maple jazz neck on one of my bitsa basses at the moment, and I’ve toyed with making up some veneers to cover it up!

    I think this fella would find a way to let you know who he was...

    Please do, would love to know what it’s like.

    I’ve got a Vintage (brand, not age) SG that plays beautifully. I’ve retro fitted a Bigsby style trem, and put coil-tappable humbuckers with push/pull pots to go between humbuckers and single coils. At its default setting it’s wired as a pair of single coils, and I find that I rarely bother with hunbuckers- it sounds great like that.

    Upgrade your snare to one with a mesh head - arguably that’s the one you’ll be using most often, than think about your kick. a better quality sound module will help too, but I think the feel of the snare is the most important thing.

    The Nether is a very respectable octave pedal!

    One caveat to my vox amplug useage - I use the ‘clean’ version, intended for guitar. It doesn’t have the metronome or bass amp sims (but the fender bassman setting is pretty good), but I often like to practice without any amp sims, just to concentrate on my technique. It’s also really useful for playing guitar through - so there’s that.

    I’ve had a vox one for years, and never had a problem with it.

    Job done. Consultation took place and advice was given, whether clients take the advice delivered has no bearing on Stewblack.

    They’re just down the road from me - been there for over 20 years and never had a problem with anything from them.

    I once got stopped in the street by 2 young ladies and asked if I was in x band, I said yes, and they seemed genuinely pleased to see me. Not as pleased as I was to be recognised!

    I had an SX about ten years ago and it was brilliant - they punch way above their price point!

    I love Tori Amos’ cover of Happiness is a Warm Gun:

    I’ve got some info and diagrams on modding these to true bypass if you want, I’ll just dig them out. Edit: here we are..

    Mostly fingers for me - all of my practice time is spent playing fingerstyle unless it’s for a certain song where I want the sound of a pick. for me it’s a green tortex (I think it’s 0.8mm).

    True, I sometimes produce overtones when my balls aren’t sitting right.

    In that case, you’d be better off just buying a power amp, that’s what I ended up doing.

    I had one for a while and it always kept up with any band I played with. The EQ is based on the classic ‘fender’ style, so fully flat is (if memory serves) bass straight up, mids on full, and treble cut a little bit, so if you’re ok with that then it’s a no-brainer for that price!

    Indeed, the strength of plastic is as varied as wood.
