3. Christmas, Easter, and Summer concerts with the educational trust I play with. Unless I’m allowed to count individual ensembles, then it might be as high as 12! 😂

I wish you’d bought that round as well as the lovely strat!

I’d like to hear some Dingwalls being used for Duck Dunn lines.

I sold it. I felt like a prat turning up to a big band gig with that! It did sound fantastic though!

Sounds a lot like the DG Alpha Omega without a clean blend. In Alpha mode.

I am too. Still wouldn't bother me. I once got booked for a magic show in a church. In hindsight some of the routine could have been viewed as taking the fosters, but I got paid and the punters had a good time.

I felt like a charlatan playing pop-punk tunes in a pub... until I got paid. If you're a pro, then you're a pro. Don't have to enjoy the event to do a good job.

I did for a while... Until I ran out of talent!

The piano or organ will be doing the long full low notes. As a result it is compulsory for you to slap everything. It's the law.

He's a hell of a player! Hopefully it will be on youtube at some point.

I've got the rack and foot controller. If It broke, I'd get another or the full fat floor. I never use a real amp in the house, just Helix into a Yamaha HS7 monitor (Or on my PC, Helix Native into a pair of HS7) I'm not gigging Helix at the moment as I'm playing in a Big Band and a small head and cab is all I need for that gig. Can't be arsed to move a rack for that! The full units, Floor / Rack , LT are quite expensive but never have I had a bit of kit for so long that I've never thought about selling. I got mine in April 2016.

I like them a lot. The 5 string really appeals. Alas I'm saving like a demon to help the kids build a university fund so the chances of me getting a new instrument within the next 5 years are virtually nil.

They are on Andertons site now.

Nice.

If anyone has a Doug Wimbish model and doesn't have any tattoos then please send it to me. I don't make the rules.

I'm just going to ask the wife...

I had a Prodigy for a while. Loved it - but the fan noise was really really annoying. In hindsight perhaps I should have got a tech to install a quieter fan and just kept it!

Yamaha dxr10

None.

Curiosity. I’ve had other Thorpyfx pedals and have been impressed. Thought I’d try the FG when the Mk1 larger housing version was on sale. Never been off my board since.

Unless you are the name soloist there is no room in an orchestra for anything other than technical correctness. Or at least no room for an interpretation that differs from the instruction of the conductor.

Those classical people will get a job in music playing works by other people.

@Cuzzie Make me an offer. I see they are nearly £200 a set, new! 😲 https://www.rockinger.com/fr/parts/micros-et-accessoires-micros/micros-basse/sandberg/831/sandberg-t4-black-label-pickups

Here you go I went for some Darkglass inspired knobs as they are lighter weight than the heavy alloy ones that came with the bass. When I get the battery box hooked up I may well have the socket mounted on the plate so the empty hole isn't an issue. I am seriously loving this upgrade. The EMGs are a huge improvement on the Black Label buckers. I do need a chance to properly balance the pickup heights. At the moment the neck pickup is a bit loud so it needs to be lowered a smidge. That can wait until after the food excess of the next few days though.
