  1. Heretic alert. I haven't tried the TX version, but I have tried the regular one and the CB (and a boat load of others). I take the Boss BC-1X over the lot of them. [running for cover]
  2. Office chair for writing and noodling. Easy to have a pen and pad ready for notes. Standing for reading practice though. I like to have the page at the same level all the time as if it was a big band gig. I do have my bass reasonably high though so it's in the same position whether I'm standing or sitting.
  3. I'm wondering if Westside are now doing the distribution....
  4. Could get an ash body Sandberg made with a good pickup in the right place for about £2K depending on finish.
  5. I was really hoping to own a 4H Special at some point if I found a light enough one. Never going to happen at those prices.
  6. La Bella White Nylons are very nice. Elixirs are great too.
  7. On the same bass with the same amp and settings. Zero changes. Most string demos are a waste of time because of a lack of consistency. Then after a general play - do 5 second clips to allow A/B between them.
  8. And he's not about 300 years old like Randall Smith is.
  9. Aren't TE currently owned by Peavey?
  10. Good drive pedal is likely to be more versatile and easier to set.
  11. Newtone. They will make them to order. Lovely strings.
  12. Hold my beer...
  13. Are you recording music / mixing?
  14. Erik Arko has done a quick clip https://www.instagram.com/p/CJx40EdlsUD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

  16. Tobias basses too.
  17. and Steinberger and Philips
  18. Never had a problem with GAK, they've been my main choice this year.
  19. The comments on Facebook... https://www.facebook.com/59345672684/posts/10157954191237685/
  20. 99% fingers. Unfortunately I have a hand injury that is forcing me to use a pick for the next 6 months - year. I've bought about a million different ones to try out including leather and felt ones to try and get a finger tone again. I don't have anything against picks and for some things I really like them, but I play a lot of big band and finger tone works better for me.
  21. I've heard rumours of a 50% buy by Gibson. Randall Smith is old. I'm sure he's exploring his retirement options.
  22. Not a chance. Mesa is tiny compared to Gibson.
  23. Sandberg TT models are quite a bit smaller than a trad jazz.
  24. I bet @Cuzzie will know!
