The GSS Baby Sumo is apparently very good, but it seems to have disappeared from their website. The Demeter Minnie 800D is ace. I'd like one myself. The Matrix stuff is excellent, but that's getting bigger. Rack mount stuff in 1u or 2u options.

They aren't heads. They are power amps with an EQ. I asked them when the first one came out about suitability for bass and they said no. So I didn't look further. There are a couple of threads on the fretboard where a design issue has been discovered where unplugging can lead to the user getting a jolt!

Tort is nasty in all circumstances.

I had an app on my ipad called "Sight Reading Trainer" and it was ace. I've recently upgraded my ipad and I can't find the app in the store anymore. Does anyone know if it has just been renamed, or if it is gone forever? It doesn't show up in my 'past downloads' list anymore. I really liked using it. It would show a couple of staves worth of music to sight read and then play it back to me so I could hear how it was supposed to sound like. Any ideas? Or for a replacement if the app isn't about any more. ta.

I agree. P bass. Tone rolled off a little. Probably straight into the board. Bit of compression. maybe, just maybe some light muting going on. A lightweight and narrow bit of foam maybe.

Do you mean the size of the parts or the different number of pole pieces? If the latter - just tape over them. Nothing more to see!

Of course I do - I'd bring her sister as well.

As long as there's no knickers, I'm game.

Are newly built ones reliable now? I quite like the idea of having one.

That might be a fair bit to do with the cab. It tops out at a pretty low 4 Khz. The tweeter cabs go all the way to 20 Khz - just like the Mark Bass Marcus cabs, and he's got plenty of top end.

Youtube demos of bass amps have to be one of the most pointless things on earth. I have the Gold Line version of the amp so it has a semi para rather than the Millerizer / Old School thing but TBH I don't really use those controls. The regular EQ on it does all I need 99% of the time. The para is useful for taming the very highs if needed but I use flats mostly so it's not an issue. I find it nice and warm even with a BF Super Twin. Definitely sounds better than youtube suggests.

HX Stomp? No touch screen though. I think the only touchscreen items are the Headrush and the Neural Quad Cortex.

Yes. Much better than the regular ones - the EQ centres are far more sensible.

Can the OP post a link? I might want to contribute to the replies....

The Fearless Flyers new live album that dropped yesterday.

Worst by far: Queens of the Stone Age. Seen them twice - both times were bloody awful. Sloppy, out of tune, not giving a crap. Best 3 gigs ever in no particular order: Prince. O2 residency Hugh Laurie and the Copper Bottom Band - New Theatre, Oxford (I'm not kidding, it was right up there with Prince.) Pantera - first UK Ozzfest, whenever that was.

I've not played one. There are quite a few poor reviews about the guitars and customer service. There's a facebook group of Solar users raising issues about them. I was very close to buying (new) one of their guitars but the reviews put me off enough to decide against it. That being said, you have the chance to properly look at this one rather than an online purchase and I've got no doubt there will be some cracking examples out there too. I may well consider a used one where someone else has dealt with any issues.

Can we change the thread to include bassists who don't understand music?

Depends on the stand. Mine uses the bass strap buttons.

I’ve got a stand. I used it when I was recovering from surgery. Its ok, feels a bit weird for the bass to not move.

Source Audio Spectrum.

This is true. But I like his enthusiasm, and that I once won one of his competitions.

For me - every single time.
