    I run EMG pickups very close to the strings so I have to set the input on the amp a bit lower than others, but I've never noticed any amp based compression getting in the way.

    Hello! I love shorties, jazz, light cabs, and old strings too. We need more of us among the metallers!

    All modern amps have an internal HPF. I've got the AG1000 and it's damn loud. But I also have efficient speakers and that makes a lot of difference too.

    Frank Bello seems to be a really cool guy.

    The distributors will probably have an idea. Could email them.

    Can you put up a video? Smart phone will be fine.

    Did you get hit by customs?

    My adult kids tell me that current pop music is excellent. Seems it might be subjective.

    Sounds great. £250

    Anyway, I like the OC-5 best. It tracks better than the MXR even though the MXR has a slightly nicer tone to my ears. I always run an HPF after an Octave so I can leave it on even when playing the lowest notes. Everything octaved below a normal B (A string 2nd fret) then cuts off before it goes to the amp. Stops a lot of muddy nonsense.

    It took you 12 hours to reply to the previous post. Poor show indeed!

    If the pedal bag has a handle on the thin end... then that removes the horizontal alignment of the board in the bag as an issue.

    Never thought about it in 37 years of playing.

    Hipshot ultralite Y tuners are lighter than clover or lollipops.

    Nice colour too!

    I liked the ray best. That surprised me as I’ve been mainly playing P types for a while. I liked the PJ more than the jazz. The jazz just sounded a bit boring.

    Nah! I still want one! But with kids at university I just can’t do it at the moment. I am tempted to mod one of my less used basses to put a passive MM type pickup in it though.

    Spare. I’ll soundcheck with both to make sure all is well. If at the check one is sounding a bit better in the room for some reason, then I’ll use that. But I won’t swap during a show unless something goes wrong with my first choice.

    High Fade. Love a bit of good funk.

    It's normal for Boss Pedals. No - you cannot change it.

    The little Mooer Ensemble King sounds bang on to my ears, with the advantage of having a level control. I have an old CE-2 from 1989 and the Mooer and they can be dialled in the same.

    What's the fan noise like? [/Stuck record]

    The Meatball designer is currently working with ThorpyFX and on their 'to-do' list is a new filter. Hopefully sometime next year. Thorpy's build quality is like I've never seen! Not really a surprise from a former bomb disposal tech!

    I've been watching demos. The slightly gainy / drivey / farty sort of warmth is lovely. Hopefully the price will stay low until after Xmas and then I shall treat myself.

    Damn you....
