  1. That looks lovely. I'm a recent convert. Used my 80s Aria for decades with the occasional dalliance here and there, but the two Ibanez I now own are really good instruments.
  2. Of all the visual aspects of a bass, headstock shape is a real deal breaker for me, so I know what you mean. I am really lucky because I like the HB headstock. Not having the skills to reshape it I'd be stuck. The Gear 4 Music headstock basically saves me money (see also G&L, Bite, Kramer etc etc)
  3. I have precisely the same issue. Some patches sound great then the next one I select is weedy or quiet or both yet they sounded fine when setting them up on the computer. In fairness I often came across this with multi effects pedals. Problem is, you can get them all to the same DB level and some sounds will cut through better/worse than others just because of their character. Trial error and using the output level I guess
  4. I have the 4 string, its excellent. I have literally no desire to change anything , not strings, pups, nothing. However just for fun I put some square stick on 'inlays' on the fretboard. Pimped my Harley!!
  5. Praying for you to buy it so I don't.
  6. I am praying for you
  7. I have a semi which never achieves its full potential. Unless I put it into a Joyo Sweet Baby. Then it comes to life. I tried it with my solid bodies and it was too thin. Another good one is the American Sound or its little brother the Orange Juice.
  8. What does this do then? Only Bit Crusher I've ever used is on my Zoom multi effects and it just made the bass sound broken!
  9. Quite agree. An effect for recording is very different than one for gigging Or can be
  10. Twice played with siblings. Once the drummer and keyboard player (brothers) and once the drummer and guitarist (also brothers) (but no relation to the first brothers). And twice in a band with my soon to be ex wife.
  11. Great to see people finding ways to collaborate in these difficult times. Thanks for sharing.
  12. I can't begin to imagine how good this is. Incredible spec.
  13. First thing I discovered is it is very forgiving if you forget to use a polarity changer. Makes the whole casing tingle too.
  14. Thank you, pm'd

    Martin helped finance my latest pedal binge by buying my TU-2. It was a happy and pain free transaction and I heartily join the chorus of praise for this most excellent Basschatter.
  16. Actually it is better than perfect. The final piece of my bi-amp jigsaw. The effects loop is what makes it so great for me.
  17. OK, now, someone remind me - why was it imperative I buy this the other night? 🤔
  18. Really good points. I must add I'm not trying to catch anyone out here I'm genuinely interested in what people think. The versatility is indeed important to me, and some of these pedals are literally doing as much as they can while others have more room for adjustment. Thanks for taking the time to have a listen. I appreciate it
  19. My mantra is if the postman wants to play football with it, the parcel will still arrive intact!
  20. Yeah! Glad to hear from another Egg fan. Every album comes with a handwritten note, their wrists must be so sore!
  21. The new album from The Lovely Eggs dropped onto the doormat today. It will be in heavy rotation in the coming days.
  22. I hear you. Number 4 has a thick, clumsy kind of sound. In its defence I was able to dial in very similar settings on three of the others but 1 and 4 are bit of one and two trick ponies.
