Oooh....this Anagram looks to be a very interesting new toy....er I mean specific tool I need to find out more about. 🤣 The basic information I can find eludes to it being a very flexible and powerful pedal with many, many IR / amp / mic / effects. However I cannot seem to find a full list of what effects / IR / amps etc. it has onboard or what can be uploaded onto it from the Darkglass suite. Anybody know where this info is? I downloaded the "Darkglass Suite for Windows (5.5.8) - Anagram Support" to see if it gave any info. Once installed it asks to plug in my Darkglass product (which I dont own) or select from the dropdown Simulator options....which doesn't contain anything about the Anagram. I'm a bit reluctant to splash out a lot of dosh on a piece of equipment that I'm not sure what it can actually do for me. Anyone got any idea?

Just sold Graham my Cort Elrick NJS5. The deal and messaging all went well along with swift payment. Thank you. Now just waiting for the couriers to do their part 🤞

I've always highly rated Micks voice and band and have seen them several times. Never been dissapointed with their live sound either, even in places where other bands have sucked! Great early video of them. 👍

Mmmm.....maybe theres a connection here 🤣 I've mentioned in previous posts / threads about this type of event and the way they drip feed the customer base with info about the event. We are a very niche hobby group spread out in all corners of the UK. Not everyone lives in London / Birmingham / Liverpool etc. and even if you do you still have to plan ahead and budget for albeit lower travelling / food / beer costs. Anywhere outside of these areas can be a significant outlay and all based on a notion that "something might happen". I'm glad I didn't commit to going as I would now be £500 out of pocket for transport & hotel, not a happy bunny and very unlikely I would consider going to another one if its run the same way. 😢

Bought a Babicz bridge from Andrew. Bought, paid, wrapped, shipped and delivered to the other end of the country all within 24hrs! Easy deal, many thanks.

That's a nice, clean example you have there. Looking good for 20 years play 👍 Have fun with it.

Great news @TheGhostofJaco however 🤣🤣 We need to see this shiny clean new addition to the family.

That's a bit cruel, how would they go to school? 🤣

Why not add the top hats and pole to your existing setup if you already like the sound? Drill a ~40mm hole in the top of the lower cab and fit one of these (sealed with silicon). Do the same to the bottom of the upper cab and add a pole between them. I'd probably have the heavier combo on the bottom for stability but that depends on the spec of cabs you have. ......PS: just noticed you've already mentioned this solution.....doh!

I've been looking at amp / speaker / hpf specs etc and have come up with a bit of a "theory" on this. I used to own a Puma 900 and it was a great amp and from what I can see the Eich is a slighly improved / re-badged version so I'll bass (😉) my thoughts on this. As we know, the idea of a high pass filter (HPF) is to reduce the low frequency part of the signal so that the sound is cleared up, speakers are not pushed too far and amp power is not wasted on inaudible and/or unreproducable frequencies. This allows all the energy to be used to push the relevant frequencies, resulting in greater punch and clarity. A quick look at quality bass speaker designs (Barefaced, Vanderkley, Bergantino etc) shows that their operating range starts from 40hz and heads upwards. Trying to put frequencies lower than 40hz at high volumes through them will probably end in tears. This is where a HPF comes in and one of the popular and highly reccomended ones is the micro-Thumpinator which filters out frequencies below 25Hz. If you look at the EQ frequency centres for the Eich amp and think of the Lo and Lo-Mid in a slighly different way you in effect have a built in adjustable HPF! The Lo control cuts and boosts around 30Hz so if you use it to cut the signal it acts like a micro-Thumpinator. You then can use the Lo-Mid @250Hz to help shape the low end ouf your sound. It seems a bit counterintuitive turning the bass knob down to sound more like a bass but I've tried this out live with a number of different amps cutting the lows and boosting the low-mids and find it cleans up the sound and gives it more punch....YMMV. Maybe Magan Trainor should have sung "It's All About The Bass (Knob)" 🤣

Sold some pickups to Steff. Easy experience and quick payment. Thanks

Just did a trade with Keir of my Roscoe with his ACG (a brand I've been wanting to try). Everything went smoothly and I'd be happy to deal again with him.

As others have said Lee is a great guy to deal with. He just bought my Berg Forte. Great comms, quick payment. Many thanks.

Something like this from North West Guitars. Nitro is quite toxic to spray and I believe needs special respirators, venting etc. Does it need to be nitro as there are "safer" options.

It took me a while to get my head around this when I was first trying to install series / single / parallel switches in one of my basses. I then came upon this diagram showing 2 types of DPDT switch connections. It looks like the one in your diagram is type 1. Using this diagram and inserting the switch connections (in red) onto your diagram lets you see the current flowpath. Parallel Series Single This one is different because (for the top pickup) the current flows from the + , throught the black wire / pickup / white wire to the switch and then on to ground. Although the green wire is connected to the switch terminal the flow gets dead ended throught theother pickup to the red wire. Hope this helps

Achieved....just for the number of CD's alone! 🤣

Just sold Steve a Gator rack unit. Quick payment, good comms and as others have said an easy transaction. Thanks Steve 👍
