It's a stereo one. Sandberg still recommend removing the jack completely though.

Fishman Fluence pickups have this option, but I think the batteries are built into rear cavity plates. very clever, but only for certain guitar models At the mo I believe.

Can’t be a design flaw - loads on TB have them already. Can’t see any complaints.

Blimey. Glad I didn’t order one then!

Yes. The 3rd prong in the socket is the On Switch for the circuit. Have to unplug when not using.

New demo up.

I've got a CS6. It's very good.

Even if it was Metallica it would still be a stinky poo lazy advert.

When I had a dUg I used a rechargeable Rockboard XL battery pack with it. Worked well, but was a faff.

I've got a selection. Ownhammer, 3 Sigma and some others. For bass and for guitar. If you were too loud then it sounds like you didn't rehearse with them at gig volume to tweak them? Each of them can be adjusted for volume without changing amp or patch volume. The main problem I have with IRs is option paralysis. Thousands of files on the Ownhammer ones and auditioning them takes a long time and ears get tired quickly. So I tend to stick with a few favourites. I don't think they are actually better than the stock cabs, but the stock cabs have more options and can take a bit longer to dial in. But it's pointless trying to dial them in at home. Got to be at gig volume and in the mix.

Sandberg TT4 Super light. Mine is 6.58 lb / 2.9 kg It's fantastic.

It’s fine. Can be a bit wobbly if the mic stand isn’t a solid one, but it’s sturdy enough. i used mine after hernia surgery while I was recovering.

I have one of these https://www.thomann.de/gb/mbrace_stage_guitar_stand.htm

Entirely normal. 1 pickup is a single coil and noisy. both in together makes a Humbucker. Nothing wrong with it.

Been rehearsing with it for a couple of weeks. Very good. Much prefer it to the cali 76

Bass > Splitter box into 2 paths. Path 1: Over drive, modulation, synths etc - amp 1 Path 2: Compression and octaves. - amp 2 Eq each amp to suit it's role. Path 1, roll off some lows. Path 2, roll off the highs. It works very well. I ran a split dual amp system like that for years. Now I do the same in my Helix.

Definitely need to put some stickers on the knobs. Can't see the indents at all. First half of rehearsal yesterday was crap - Until I noticed that I had severely scooped out the mids with the Semi-Para. I had been leaving that alone and just using the regular EQ. Regular settings were for a cut at 40hz, little boost at 250hz, then a little scoop in the mids, neutral upper mids and knock back the treble, I suspect the kids had been knob twiddling a bit - the para had scooped 16db out at about 600hz ish and when the trombones kicked in I couldn't hear me at all. It was excellent when I sorted it out. But those knobs need an upgrade. Wasn't even dodgy lighting - just a room with strip lights.

Repeatable is not always a good thing. Turn up to the same venue you might think you want exactly the same settings. But if on the 2nd visit your strings are now old and there's another 50 people in the room sucking up reflections then you need different settings. That being said I do want to try one.

Just need to change the silly EQ names and it will look great.

I thought about that - but it turns out it wouldn't cover them if I earned any money, or theft from cars / venues etc.

New Moon for me. was with Allianz for years but their renewal quote doubled so I moved.
