Just scored an Epiphone shorty. Picked it up yesterday afternoon from FB marketplace, gigged it last night. It's this one and it felt so tiny! But it sounded and played really well. Glad I went for the short scale, there was a little bit of neck dive so I imagine the full length would be, for me, unplayable.

I gigged with it the day it arrived. It's so simple to use. I just set up a compressor, copied it onto the first half dozen slots and added one effect to each. Then pressed the right or left button to find which effect I needed for which song and either turned it on or kicked it in when I needed it. The envelope, synth, phaser, fuzz, chorus and octave sounds were brilliant. If I needed to tweak them it was a piece of cake.

It's brilliant. The ease of navigation and editing is a game changer. The sounds are superb. Honestly it's overkill to use any other pedal. I love it.

This got me. Beautiful, just beautiful 🤣🤣🤣

My Bandeoke board from last night.

I suspect that now I would format it more tidily. Even number of bars per line, chords above the bars, repeat symbols, etc

If you'd been closer you could have borrowed mine. But Portugal is a little bit far.

Where are you based?

Beats the heck out of me! I wonder if I posted the wrong picture - as you say that doesn't look bad. I'm out right now but I'll play through it and see what the problem was. Or if I can work out what I thought it was.

3 months wait? Time to start saving..

Hi, I have both and they are both superb. Both are compact, light, and powerful. I honestly could not choose between them. Two top quality amplifiers at unbeatable prices. You'll be happy whichever you choose.

I wish him a long and happy retirement. He has enriched my life beyond measure. His playing was one of the major reasons I wanted to play the bass.

Such a brilliant idea

100% recommend it. No pc editing is such a bonus. I can edit the sound instantly on stage like with any pedal. Also the pedal I want to turn on and off remains displayed which is a great feature. But above all the sounds are amazing

Which specific model is it?

Superbly expressed

This was me. For decades. I started taking lessons a few years ago and my playing and understanding of the instrument has improved beyond recognition. Each to their own of course, but after a lifetime of trying to invent the wheel I now see the world differently.

Last two days I've been listening to the new Larkin Poe album. 👌

Can't tell you what the first bass song was as they were all originals and long since forgotten. First song i ever learnt on guitar was Eddie And the Hot Rods, Do Anything You Wanna Do

My venues are less salubrious...

I play a couple of places on a regular basis, and they both make the black hole of Calcutta look like a Christmas Tree. Can't see my hand in front of my face. Now as I'm reading for most of the gig it's not the end of the world but I do need to check my hand position now and then. So this is my solution. It's a rechargeable light intended for reading but fits rather neatly on my strap. This be the link. https://amzn.eu/d/bJPITDq

Thank you.
