Dingwalls are for tension and for longer speaking lengths on lower notes. Doesn't really help with intonation as such except give greater room for error on the longer scale side - like it's easier to be in tune on a double bass than on a violin. I suppose ideally you'd have a fan fret and then those frets would be temperament wiggly as well.

Keys are in perfect tune. Other guitars won't be.

Perfect. Straight frets simply can't be perfect intonated for the entire board. Depends on how picky you are I suppose. To me it makes more sense for guitars as guitarists are usually playing more chords.

Frank Gambale is a big fan too.

True temperament frets. Perfectly intonated across the entire board.

Get a used Helix.

Fire him. Or quit. Life is too short to fill it with utter nobbers like that.

Looking forward to a proper review!

Fishman. I had one with my NS Wav and it was very good.

EQ pedal in the fx loop.

I had an old red front MAG400 head when they were Uk built. It was glorious. Thick, chewy, and really loud.

Lovely!

Brilliant! Thank you chaps.

Anyone got a good transcription? The usual tab sites seem really inaccurate. Standard notation is fine. Don’t need tab, but I’ll take anything accurate really. ta.

And now I’m thinking about it again! 👍

I had missed the lack of Snapshots. that would be a breaker for me too.

I think that's very genre specific - particularly in a 3 piece. Punk - probably. But in a Cream tribute...?

I love not getting noticed. While the singer and guitarist are getting bloked I quietly load up and sod off home.

I'm currently doing a big band version of that. There's plenty of bass in that arrangement!

I hope he's paying you.

Genre specific of course... but if the audience is dancing then they like the rhythm section at least. They'll tolerate mediocre guitarists and singers if the rhythm is right. As for the OP's comment about compression - I think that gets lumped in with the dodgy sound caveat. And even if the bassist isn't using a compressor - the FOH guy will (or should) be.

I've been looking at the specs. So it has all the models / cabs / fx etc - BUT it only has 6 blocks in the chain (only 1 processor) But looking at 99% of my live patches, I haven't got more than 6 blocks in most of them anyway.
