    I have a Black Vehicle overdrive. It's got the driven amp sound down, plus a really flexible boost circuit that allows you to control how much pre and post gain it adds. Lots of sounds on tap. My only criticism would be that it is a single mix knob, rather than a dedicated dry signal control.

    What kind of Warwick is that?! Also, bass blaster looks awesome.

    Viv Wilcock makes a short scale with a 51P pickup. I believe he calls it the 51-P!

    I'm surprised it took this long! That's my pal's "Gamer Neckbeard" face.

    I've been interested in these guitars for a while, and this seems super cool. Alas, I'm getting married next week and all my money is gone 😭 GLWTS

    Yup, last summer's all grey release. The combo of all three is 😗🤌

    It is! Its great, pretty much a Moog MF101 with a few more controls and a board friendly footprint.

    This showed up last week... It's intended for guitar but actually sounds great on bass. I added the 'deep' option as the website said it was better for bass but I found when at volume you get that 'wub wub' sound that doesn't work for me. Otherwise it's great, a warmer/darker tone compared to the Walrus Audio Julia, closer to my 80s Boss CE-2B, but with more range in the speed and depth. And I now have the wankiest pedalboard known to man.

    Dunlop flats are brighter than typical flats (think Labellas). They're more like a worn in set of rounds. You could also look out ground/half-wound or "super polished" strings. Essentially round wounds that have been made closer to flats in some way. As far as I know only LaBella do super polished short scales, and they're specifically for top loading mustang basses, but if you can cope with a bit less silk at the headstock... PS all of these options are either a bit pricey or very pricey!

    Of the 5 basses I own, I use different basses on different gigs for different reasons. And all of them bar one are difficult but not impossible to replace, and they're insured outside the house and in unlocked cars. Since I got my Wilcock Mullarkey its been my go-to for practice and my original/fun gigs (helps that its pink). However, for weddings I use my Serek Midwestern 5, as it does more conventional tones and I can get the low notes. My JMJ hasn't seen much action recently for no real reason other than I'm favouring the other two, but I have a couple of country gigs in August I've decided to use it for as it looks more the part. My Acinonyx is great but has such a unique sound I'm yet to find exactly where to use it. My Callowhill MPB 5 is truly irreplaceable, as Tim passed away shortly after I got it. I keep it mainly for sentimental reasons, as it has been superseded by the Serek as my main 5. I have some great basses and I enjoy playing them, so I find reasons to use them.

    Kind of a niche of a niche but La Bella just dropped 5 new Mustang sets (through body only). The stainless steel flat set looks to be identical to their Deep Talkin' Bass set, but I'm curious about the Super Polished set. No UK dealers as yet though. https://www.labella.com/?s=stang

    That'll be a rare one, no?! I'm curious to hear how much it feels like a short scale as the bridge is quite far into the body

    I've switched out the output and the cable already but can power it with a True Tone onespot before I get in touch with GigRig.

    I've isolated it to the QMX. When I disconnect it from the power the buzz disappears (it lets the audio signal pass through). I've tried changing the wire and the output it's connected to on the Distributer but it's still there. Might be one for GigRig to fix...

    I just powered everything up with the bass plugged in and started unplugging power and audio and didn't notice any significant reduction in noise, even once all the pedals were unplugged and my chain was bass > QMX > amp, which implies its the switcher...? Signal chain is as follows: Bass > Walrus Audio Canvas Tuner (currently crappy mini tuner I can't remember the name of) > QMX (3 leaf Octabvre > 3 Leaf Doom 2 > Origin Effects Halcyon > Tru-fi ghost Vibe > Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe > JPTR FX Jive) > Noble Preamp > amp QMX is powered direct from the distributer as recommended by Gigrig (had a conversation with them a month or so ago), all connected with Evidence Audio solderless, so that might be the next round of testing.
