This appears to be more pertinent information that could have been useful in the original post.

flip it. The song is fosters easy - or at least should be for someone who claims to have played for 30 years. And there is a video that shows the guys hand positions as well, so that deals with any audio quality issues Tabbing it out would take me under an hour. I've been playing as long as the OP has. The OP appears to have spent more time getting upset about this thread than would have taken him to tab it out. I have a day off work and I was considering transcribing it, partly to help and partly for my own practice. Not now.

a ha ha hahahahahahahaha! How to make friends and influence people. I can point you in the direction of someone who does transcriptions if you want. He's a pro so he'll want paying though. I think he starts at about £60 for a part notation with tab. (£20 for me as well of course for telling you who he is. Got to grease the wheels)

I removed the preamp in my Ray5.

I'm an Equity member so I'm covered with that. But I think my instrument policy covers it as well- but I don't know if that includes all people I might perform with, or just me.

I hated them! Daddario Pro Steels on mine.

That blue sparkly jacket.... Juries out on that!

He got the prototype TM4...

That about £410 + shipping + some vat Bargain!

I contacted Sandberg on facebook and they have confirmed the VS can be ordered as a Super Light version now. Now I need to raise more money!

If the amp has a value of under £10,000 you won’t get to recover your legal fees even if you win. So limit those fees to paying for a snotty letter or do it yourself.

I offer to drive everyone to the gig for nothing. Then when we get there I offer to drive them home for £200 each. Works for me.

A decade is a hell of a long fad.

Sandberg - it's not that they only do active basses - I think UK retailers just order most of them active. German stockists seem to hold far more stock of the passive options. The TT4 (jazz) and the VS4 (P) are popular as passives. I don't know why Bass Direct in particular don't order more passive ones - especially in P format.

The AO pedal can do a pretty clean tone - I've used mine that way as a "warming up" always on type thing in the past. Don't know if the amp will do as little drive when the AO section is turned on though.

Darkglass User group on FB appears certain the IRs are not on the speaker outs.

Yup, an IR into a real cab would sound very dark indeed. Ive done it by accident with my Helix and it sounds like derrière.

That’s a stinky poo rhyme.

Doesn’t have to be a van. Car with a boot is enough. Even an estate with a tonneau cover.

There’s an AO in the classifieds....

Many house policies don't do new for old on instruments and don't offer any protection if you are gigging - or at least getting paid to gig. And the little stuff like pedal boards / power supplies add up quick - and it nearly gave me a heart-attack when I added up just the pedals on my 3 boards!
