I went with a pair of Barefaced One10 with mine. Sounds great. Lovely and chewy and thick and articulate too. Great for jazz and big band, as well as rock,, metal etc. and so very light weight.

That’s quite an extreme EQ setting!

I use mine in a big band playing swing and jazz. It’s a great amp.

I tried the dug direct into my Yamaha dxr10. sounded great. Definitely giggable. Really loud too.

The routing does not compensate for pickup weight. Pickups are way heavier than the wood removed for them. having routed my own sr5 I know this intimately.

The Fail is still a shitrag, but it has a new editor who used to be from the Mail on Sunday. The MOS was an entirely different paper. The DM will change - some readers are already complaining about change in direction despite the new guy only just starting.

That's excellent. How big are CB's hands though? No wonder he doesn't have any trouble!

Possibly, but a pickup doesn't weigh 1.2 lb! Even the really heavy EMG MM5C (five string) is only 0.8lb

Sterling Ball's video claiming they were coming in at about 8lb is looking a bit inaccurate!

I use my kitchen scales! Very accurate and go up to 5kg That would be a MASSIVE cake!!

I've played some of them in my educational trust gig. Good fun. The film though - it skips over completely what an chocolate starfish PT Barnum was.

The SS is very good. But I still sold it for a Cali76 Compact Bass instead. The SS has a warm sound - a hint of old fashioned valve-ness about it, rather than the cleaner Cali or Empress. I think the Empress Compressor is my favourite but the form factor of a wide pedal with jacks still on the side annoys me. Don't forget that Darkglass has their new compressor that has replaced the SS too. Not tried one though.

As long as there are people who think they can hear the difference between battery brands the boutique pedal market will remain safe.

I’ll get round to trying that then!

@Cosmo Valdemar how are you finding the Baby Sumo?

Anyone tried running theirs direct into a powered pa cab? Im sitting here with a tea, looking at the pedal and realising I have a powered PA can I use with my Helix. Im asking you lot because if it is crap I can’t be bothered to try! 😀

Get a free trial and get it all https://www.scribd.com/document/375551244/Hit-Me-With-Your-Rhythm-Stick

Helix.

The physio has given me exercises that cause me to take her name in vain - quite a lot! I will do it of course but I suspect I am doomed to a life of sub 8lb basses.

I'm in 2 minds really. I withdrew it so I could go and see a physio about getting stronger, and I did, but she's also not sure exactly how much she can do after I've had 4 inguinal hernias and 1 para-umbilical hernia repairs. Probably too much damage already done.

You can buy my Marleaux if you like?

Exactly how bored are you?
