The correct answer to the question is no-one cares what colour it is. All that people care about is how does it sound played in drop E through loads of Darkglass pedals by Nolly Getgood. Does it djent? Does it sound "sick?" We'll never know the answer to these questions if we stop to think what colour it actually is depending on what angle the light strikes it at.

Honestly, don't waste your money. The Warwick buzzard is garbage. Warwick's pricing is tonto as well.

This fact isn't taking into account the one thing all the Warwick buzzards had in common. They're crap. If you've played both, the status version is superior in every way.

Nobody would care about them if they were on a Dingwall. Mainly because the only questions that would be getting asked is "I need everything made by Darkglass now!! How much will that be? How do I sound like Nolly Getgood? Does lime green Djent? Will it downtune to drop F?" The fact that the pickups might look like my 4 year old son's attempt to draw a triangle would be of little importance.

That's not a buzzard. It's a B2. Here's my buzzard. The last one ever made thanks to a certain div in Germany who shall remain nameless.

Thats what he tells you now Mick. I can just picture the scene now. Your mates wife saying that he can only get the cheap one. He convinces himself it's better to mentally soften the blow. Then a few days later it hits him. He cracks and has to go upstairs to his bedroom and cry whilst hugging a pillow and sobbing the word "why" over and over almost indecipherably through his blubbing.

I tried the axe fx a few years ago and actually didn't like the amps or distortion very much for bass. However, the rest of it was great. I hasten to say that was the ultra and things have moved on somewhat since then I bet. I hope their stuff does well, it just seems like that's a bit steep price wise for what it is in this one case. As for line 6, I did give serious thought to getting a full helix, but then realised unless I put it in the studio, I'd never need that much. Pretty much the same for all 3 full fat units. I'd probably get the stomp for live work. I enjoyed playing the kemper and it's great. I'm not sure who has the biggest share, but those 3 have something for everyone.

My thoughts entirely. Fractal can go and do one.

Right, photos time. My Stanley Clarke.

You're welcome to pop over whenever you want squire.

Clearly, you don't remember playing my Stanley Clarke?

I'm still in. Have bought nothing except strings.

Not to mention SGD Lutherie. If you fancy a bit of pickup fraud that is.

Yeah, that's true Si and I have and do do that, but for whatever reason the whole fusion genre just turns me off.

Yes, but the Mesa Boogie stuff is expensive due to West side Distribution being price gouging creeps. Darkglass stuff is made in Finland which is still in the EU so why would we be getting battered for that?

I hasten to say, I don't subscribe. I'm puzzled by the lack of rock/metal stuff. All the content I've seen is jazz or fusion based and is just too polite for me and much too clean. However, my indifference to the genre probably has a lot to do with this viewpoint.

My Wounded Paw Battering Ram EQ was only £150 and it slays this stuff. £250? For them?!! Ashdown have obviously had access to the "Markbass crack warehouse" before deciding on pricing structure.

It is cheeky charging more if you're already subscribed. I'm sure folk will pay it. If it was something I felt I wanted to know I'd pay for it. No problem. However, I don't, so I won't. Whilst I've never met Scott, the marketing crap does seem to have went overboard not to mention the totally clickbait videos. Whether it is rampant greed or if Gary Willis wanted some decent cash and production costs meant he had to charge, I'm sure it'll get resolved one way or another.

I'm not a snob. I'm a grade A a*sehole when it comes to this stuff. Is VK better than MB? Yes. Without question. That's not me justifying the price tag. Just my truth in relation to experience. Were the VK cabs awful and overpriced (cough, Aguilar, cough) then I'd sell them and admit my hubris and buy something else. Thankfully, I haven't had to do that yet. Besides, it's your fault I bought the 2x12 as your 2x10 VK was fantastic! 😎

Better than Markbass.

I certainly did like it. So did my private orthopaedic surgeon. 😜

That's crap for a start. You sounded great through my VK. 😜

So, after a while working on this I finally put out my solo album. Mainly progressive type material. I've embedded spotify below though it's on all the usual chnnels such as iTunes, Google, Amazon, Tidal and CD baby. See what you think. Opinions on a postcard to the usual address.

So what can you see on the screen? Does the stuff all have to be programmed whilst hooked up to a PC or Cam you just programme the modes on the fly in use?

So what's the functionality of the 8 switches then? Patches? Blocks? Everything?
