Killerfridge

I saw Joe in Brixton last year as part of Theo Katzmans band; killer gig, best I've been to in forever. That MSG gig though, that's something else.

I want to say that that's the point; he's got EBMM to build him (and supply him with) the three basses that he used and likes; a passive Stingray with only a volume knob (Carlos Robelli), a passive jazz (mexi j) and a short scale P with only a volume knob (Jacks precision bass jr). The fact they sell them too is just EBMM making money where they see a market. I think the video of them explaining the JDII and how much of a piss take it is I think sums it up. They're not the ones selling it, they're just happy to accept the business handout

Ooh, those are some tasty gospel chops, I know what I'm doing this week!

All the usuals, throwing out some new loves over the last couple of years: Joe Dart Tony Levin Daric Bennet

This hypothetical criminal seems very well planned in selling a fake bit of kit, especially when noone wants to reveal the serial numbers of their gear anyway, so "no sorry" is just as believable an answer...

I've never understood people's hang ups around serial numbers, trying to obfuscate them like it will somehow provide access to their bank details

Craig Blundell?

These Special Editions are gorgeous, congrats on picking one up!

I didn't watch it, but I've worked with the Sugar Babes guitarist (Francois Fasano) and he is an absolute monster, and the rest of their band is equally talented

I've heard that NAM can produce the most technically accurate models, even compared to Kemper and Neural DSP; it just suffers from the fact there is no dedicated hardware

Cool, that's what I was hoping

I have a vague recollection of this bass too, but I wonder if it was a Musicman? At least this is the one I was thinking of (and similarly difficult to Google) https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Music-Man-Reflex-Game-Changer-HH-Bass-Guitar-RN-Black/1AAS

Is the Ratio knob on the 1176 knotched or free moving? I.e. can you have it somewhere between 20/All In, or are they 6 distinct positions?

I've tried so hard to like the GK model, but it just doesn't work for me. I think I'll just have to admit I don't like the sound of GK amps! I'm glad to know other people can make it work. RE: the brightness of the Ampeg captures - 100% agree, it sounds to me really high in the upper registers. That said, when I've put them in the mix they sound fantastic; I ran a gig a few weeks back and had all the bands bassists going into the QC (I gave them the option to go DI from my TC rig, but I think they all wanted to have a play with the QC). With a patch consisting of a bit of compression and one of the Ampeg captures, I actually ended up boosting the high mids even more for some of the heavier numbers; it sounded absolutely monstrous! I even had a couple of people come up and ask me what the bass players were using because it sounded amazing!

7 months of problems caused by a loose cable, how painful!

I wish none of you lot had pointed out the lower horn, I thought they all looked quite good. Now I can't unseen it
