No idea. Don't forget about the Zon VB4 as well.

Helix Stomp. Loads of demos on YouTube, and there’s a dedicated bass group on Facebook for all the helix stuff. Good website Here too http://drtonelab.com/ with patches and videos. But as Ped says, if you like what you have...

I had a streamline. Loved everything about it apart from the neck shape. It was surprisingly square in profile. Not like the older Statii I had. If they had a nice C shape I’d buy another one in a heartbeat.

Just think how good a modern modeller is!

Tune a 4 to BEAD?

There’s a video. Jack Stratton invested in something that failed. It’s a money raise to try to offset his loss.

Other bands can buy a slot on the album.

I saw you are selling your DG. Do you find the Ashdown a better choice for the cab?

That’s good news indeed. I watched a couple of demos of the TT800 and thought that had potential. Also thinking about the new GK amps, but also maybe an Ampeg. I’ve not had a PF series amp. Or maybe an Ashdown. Too much choice!

Helix Stomp.

Go elsewhere. It's the only practical answer.

Coming next week. Courier issues. At least I have a few more days to get the wife ready!

The tracking number on the delivery has mysteriously stopped working. I seem to recall when I got my first One10 the "It's on the way" email from the courier was not actually correct and it was a day early. I've emailed BF to ask them to confirm whether it's coming today or not. I could really do with nipping out to the shop for a few things but I don't want to miss it if it is coming.

Aye. Nobody has a problem with a distributor needing to get paid. Taking the fosters with the mark up is entirely different. I am wondering if there are many people who bought something at RRP 3 weeks before the change though. Poor sods.

Fan noise! Was mental. 4m warm up time was annoying too.

Been there, done that. Valve heads anyway.

Well I’ve got my DG and MB heads. And the tiny hotone Something different perhaps?

HOLY CRAP It's arriving tomorrow!!! That's only 2 weeks!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Put a WANTED ad on the fretboard forum. Their classifieds are very busy.

The Cobalts are good strings. They did have some QC issues for a while with breakages and rust (there is a thread somewhere) but I'm hoping they've fixed that now.

In MXR Super Badass Distortion Boss LMB-3 Boss BC-1X Barefaced Super Twin (on order - does that count yet?) Out: About 20 pedals, and a variety of pickups.

Some of them are 8-10 years old. Grade 2-3. The band is for experience of ensemble playing and listening to band mates. Not academic study. They get that with their individual teachers. If the youngest ones walked in and saw new key sigs they have never seen in their individual lessons they'd walk straight out again. We find a way to get them playing, even if we have to give them the 4th part and tell them to only play the first note of the bar until they get comfortable with trying the 2nd note. They join the ensemble as nervous wrecks and within 3 months the confidence is already going up and they start asking for more fun / difficult things to play. The 16-18 year olds are more than capable of playing in any key but they are there for fun, having been there for 10 years themselves. They tend to be in county level bands as well, some of them aiming for a conservatoire place. It's a fantastic band and I'm constantly amazed I get to play with them. I got press-ganged when the actual bass teacher quit and moved away. I was given the book and 30 mins notice for my first rehearsal with them.

This is exactly why we play in not-original keys. A lot of our horn players are young students.
