It's still a faff. IIRC it's power supply only. So that's the pedal, power supply, couple of patch cables. One of the reasons I'm doing the list is because I volunteer at a music trust and when (if) we get back to it then I have to move rooms every 40 minutes. So I have to break it all down and set it up again. Every 40 minutes. I have a new cab on wheels and a head stock tuner. If I can get an amp with compression in it then there's only a power cable and guitar cable to worry about. The head can stay on the cab while I wheel it about. It's all about speed of moving rooms.

Not that I have anything to carry anywhere at the moment, but maybe for the future.. I'm trying to put together a list of amps that have built in compression to limit the stuff I need to carry. So far... ( I realise some are heavy, but if I'm doing a list I might as well do it properly) AER Amp One / Two / Three Ampeg PF500 Ampeg PF800 Ampeg SVT-4 Pro Ampeg SVT-7 Pro Ashdown ABM series Ashdown Rootmaster Ashdown Shavo 22 Bergantino Forte HP Bergantino B-Amp Bugera Veyron Darkglass MT900 V2 Darkglass Alpha Omega 900 EBS Reidmar series EBS HD series Eden WTP900 Eich T-1000 Hartke TX8500 Markbass Evo 1 Marshall MB range Mesa M Pulse 360 Orange 4 stroke Orange Little Bass Thing PJB Briefcase SWR Headlight TC BQ series TC BH series (using a Tone Print slot) TC RH Series TC Blacksmith Tech21 dUg Ultrabass 1000 Trace Elliot SMX series Warwick LWA 500 Warwick LWA 1000 That's all I've found so far - what else is there?

Thank you. I'll have a look. Just need one big enough to read properly! I use reading glasses, but when I wear them the band leader / conductor is too far away and is a blurry mess!

This really made me laugh. I love the Images and Words album, but quite a lot of the rest leaves me cold.

I must investigate this. I am getting more fed up by the minute with my dog eared book. Never in the right order! Which tablet do you use? Presumably cheaper than apple?

Bargain! I've still got the Dunlop flats on it and I'm liking them very much. I've also got some Newtone nickels on the way to try. With the flats.... (Yes it's not the original arrangement!!). It's a little quiet as I have no idea what I'm doing with video. It was a longer clip but the postman rang the bell so I had to cut it.

I'm now looking forward to them. Should be here by the weekend.

As far as I know they will be the first set of roundcore I've ever had. My J (sandberg) has Dunlop flats on it at the moment. I like them very much but as the Sunbeams are on the way I'll just have to take the flats off carefully and store them.

It appears that one night when I was a bit piddled and on Amazon I bought some DR Sunbeams. I just found out when I got the dispatch notification. Are they any good?

I have the Mic Mechanic and I really like it. The single setting "Tone" adds Compression / de-esser / EQ and I really like what it does to my voice (tenor range mostly) The pitch correction is subtle and seems to be a shift to the nearest note in freq terms rather than the nearest correct note - there is no way to input a key signature and it doesn't listen to chords like the more complex units do. I didn't really use the pitch correction unless I had a bit of a cold! But I always use the unit for it's EQ / compression stuff as I like the sound of it. It's mounted on my pedal board and will stay there. I'd love to try one of the more complex ones.

I know it's an old threat - but the Ibanez Mezzo 32 scale 5 string is excellent. It has become my main 5 string purely on merit.

TBF they've stolen the UI from the Helix. Not really a surprise, the Helix UI is the easiest of all the next gen modellers. I didn't pre-order a QC but as eventually it will be able to run the Neural plugins - and I am a HUGE fan of them - I just can't see me not getting one. I use the NTS and the Parallax plugins all the time.

Lovely! Best colour too.

Depends how thin it is I suppose. Billy Sheehan covers the top of his pickups with epoxy and then shapes it.

If the ramp is going on top of the pickups, then use a black perspex and use double sided tape.

I bought one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-Ramp-for-Jazz-Bass-without-Radius-72mm-or-73mm-Spacing/254194476376?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Uses the pickup screws to hold it in place.

For some reason the blackstar website keeps setting off my Malwarebytes for Trojans. Weird.

I can see it now. Couple of years and the Classifieds and ebay etc will be filled up with these - but the headstock logos will have been swapped. Just like Squier and Fender.

I have great sympathy with this despite me personally hating fan noise completely. But sometimes I'm accompanying only a single clarinet or flute and on some amps the fan noise is obvious.

Zakk Wylde was in Rock Star... the guitar parts were fine. But then they let him speak....

It's certainly the Attitude shape.

Fieldy from Korn. He's made a living, and yet it doesn't work at all. He sounds like a guy with hooks for hands trying to beat his way out of a metal dustbin.

I hate fan noise even at levels a bat wouldn't hear. At a gig I can cope - but in the house it drives me insane.

No - I like mids. That's where the detail is.

By "new" do you mean recorded after 1975?
