Sad to hear it too, but thanks so much for the work you, Gabrielle and the Scrumpettes all put into it. I really enjoyed the three I went to.

Well, it turned up just before lunch and I'm very impressed! It's very green. Almost purest green. A slight tweak of the truss rod and it's good to go. I do find the jazz bass shape very comfy. Maybe because my first bass was a jazz. It's reasonably weighty at 4.44kg (9lb 8oz). Neck is a good shape. There's something on there that's rubbing off as I play which is a bit weird, but at least it's coming off. The pickups don't sound bad at all. Did I mention it's very green? For £63, I'm very pleased!

All this talk of Gibson has got me thinking about Epiphone taking some risks. They could do some multiscale 4/5 string RD Artist basses with some weird electronics.

It popped up as being in Coventry when I checked a minute ago. Hopefully that means it turns up tomorrow! 🤞

Ooooh, also, I want a Darkglass Anagram XL. Three footswitches isn't enough for me. I want 6 footswitches with 6 scenes per preset, plus up/down footswitches, and either an integrated expression pedal with toe switch or the ability to easily map one in MIDI as volume and then "other" (wah, delay time, etc.) assignment.

I would like Boss to make an updated MS-3 with more loops (6?) and options for parallel paths, plus all of the GX range effects also embedded. Make it powered by an IEC cable and include a pedal power supply too.

Still no news on the arrival of my Jazz. The Royal Mail/Parcelforce tracking isn't showing anything, and I've not heard back from my email to Bax...

That tone taper is usually the sign of cheap pots. If you replaced them, you'd probably have a better time. But for £43 for the guitar, a few extra quid on pots isn't the end of the world.

I've never owned a Sansamp before, and haven't tried to get anything approaching one. You could always try an SVT-esq amp block with the cab turned off? For an always on overdrive, I've got a split signal running into a natural OD and the bass OD in parallel. I think they've both got a bit of clean blend and I want to say a bit of bass rolled off on the bass OD. Seems to do the trick for me very nicely.

Seems to be. I've been tracking the prices like a hawk 😅 Actually, Fair Deal have it for £875 https://www.fairdealmusic.co.uk/products/darkglass-anagram-bass-multi-effects

@Al Krow you need the bass amp block to find the Fat Tube amp. There's the whole bass effects section at the end of the block list if you haven't found them yet!

I reckon the F10 DX/DC will be more around £1600+. The current F10 is £1500 already.

Does anyone near Bristol have one I could spend some time with? Happy to book out an hour at a rehearsal space. I'm a gnats codpiece away from selling some gear to buy one.

Looks like mine is still stuck somewhere. Hopefully it turns up on Monday!

@Al Krow absolutely! That's quite the leak!

I got my GX-100 from them but on Reverb and was able to register the warranty on Boss' website with them appearing in the list of suppliers. I'd trust the seller. Very odd pedal though. I wonder if it'll be a NAMM release? Stripped down GX unit to maybe compete with Valeton prices? You wouldn't create retail packaging for a prototype.

Well, it's a good job I added a new set of string to the order then! Looks great!

How efficient have they been?

I saw on Instagram that @Goliath_FX has had one arrive! Any first impressions? It looked cool! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS5j34ODfAm/?igsh=MmxnbHZuMnJlN3Fr

Shipped! Fingers crossed for Friday!

It has to be done. For science. Purely research!

Looks like it went back up to normal price after it sold out. It was showing as £70, so the code took it down to £63.

No, you can do all of the input gain and waveform stuff too! Start at page 73 of the manual.

@HeadlessBassist exactly! Pay no attention to the RRP though. It usually sells more around £130-150.

I've been tempted. For £63 with the discount code, it seems rude not to, especially when I sold a guitar recently and there's another bass I've been looking to sell! Let's see what turns up. Should be here on the 2nd. https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-guitars/fazley-outlaw-series-judge-plus-green-electric-bass-guitar-with-gig-bag
