Sad news, Dave was a great guy. I still have one of the prototype valve compressors he sent me for testing.
-
Yes it is complex!! I have a school to run right now so I don't have the time to get jiggy with it. I don't know how to use the looper yet. But patch 1A was nearly perfect out of the box, 5c is pretty great too.

I decided to dedicate my trusty Zoom G3X to my PC and replace it with one of these, a Mooer Ocean Machine which is basically two delays and a reverb in one pedal with a looper. It's a bit complex for my needs if I am honest but I was only using the G3X for reverb and delays and the price is pretty reasonable. What a difference removing the Zoom has made! String attack definition is amazing, really clear, there's more of everything else too. My cheap ol' 5E3 based Ibanez TSA5 combos sound like they've gone up in price. I'm starting to wonder about whether to keep the Zoom B3 now...

Mine are were in my signature. The line up hasn't really changed in 5 years with the exception of the one I made. I have just the Status, Pedulla and Stingray with me plus the one I made a couple of years ago. The rest are in storage or at Mr Shukers waiting to have work done.

Damn

Initially, I used LinkedIn but he's on Myspace too (do we all remember that...? ) @realting Here's a pic of the Hitmaker replica with my pre-EB stingray.

A nice idea, you've got my support. The comedian podcasts i listen to tend to be about an hour-ish.

https://applink.reverb.com/news/yamaha-announces-acquisition-of-ampeg Not sure if this has been posted yet but could be worse! Interesting that Yamaha are in the market for other brands though. I wonder if they're doubling down on a depressed US market.

I was going to suggest looking at baritone guitars. I'm in the same boat and struggle with fretting at the dusty end. I have plans to one day make myself a couple of guitars with 25.5" or maybe even 26" scale just for the space. I struggle with 24" scale - what a difference an inch makes!

PRS seem to be hitting the nail on the head as far as knowing what players want. Their Sonera combo is cracking value, even new!

Whelp good conversation is hard to find where I am, anyway. I'm glad of the company. Aren't I? Yes I am.

I think it's a combination of passion and a journey to discover what gets the sound in our heads.

Loving the pants off of this! -

I used to play this in my last band. Great song for some improvised fills in the chorus, reactions from the crowd usually reveal the bass players.

Hello from Mainland China. Hunan to be precise...and welcome.

It appears their bass player doesnt have any future at all. I hear them but...where are they?

Some of you will probably be thinking this is no surprise as Fender's struggles have been well known as have Gibson's with quality control. http://www.ajc.com/news/national/gibson-guitar-company-maker-the-les-paul-facing-bankruptcy-after-116-years-business/OlaIEYdtLEv1rP92RvZFrM/ In the recent past, Paul Reed Smith raised the issues of there being fewer student guitar players and therefore less adults to buy premium quality instruments. At the time I recall the idea was dismissed by many but Gibson's issues are undeniable.

I had a transition period NS5CR in tobacco burst with gold hardware. I didn't realise it was rare. Transition period because it had a dot fingerboard and fatter neck profile of the SSD basses but was branded Spector. -
I haven't tried many compressor pedals in the last 10 years because every pedal I tried was a disappointment. However I bought an a Effectrode PC2A like you about 12 months ago and I pulled the trigger on an FEA Labs Dual Band Compressor after having my name on their waiting list for 9 months. The FEA Labs pedal is like a Trace Elliot Dual Comp but a little more configurable and with much higher spec components. I can't hear any noise at normal playing levels. I've heard good things about the Spectracomp too BTW. But the tone print functionality will only last as long as TC keep the software compatible with your phone. I tend to worry about whether software based music solutions will still be supported in 10 years.

I use multi effects for modulation (Zoom B3 or Lexicon MPXG2). Things that are on a lot like gain, eq. bass synth and compression are standalone. It's been a good solution so far because I don't end up with a pedal board stuffed with pedals that only get used 10-20% of the time.

Very nice - I like 15mm string spacing too. -
SKB Bass Safe / SKB44RW Assemble! Two basses in the bass safe

[quote name='Byo' timestamp='1503688257' post='3360357'] Thanks for the info Kiwi! I highly appreciate it as there is no genuine info online about fitting 2 basses into the case. [/quote] You're welcome. Do it at your own risk though - it's a hack. -
[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1503661821' post='3360061'] Fender made a five WAAAAY before that. [/quote] Yes it was high C. Alembic did the first low B for Jimmy Johnson in 1981 I think.
