Ha. Yeah I did start to wear it pretty low which helped my right arm but absolutely destroyed my left shoulder! Can't seem to win!

After crippling shoulder pain after a wedding gig last Thursday where I used my Spector followed by a festival last night where I used my Stingray 5 where I felt absolutely fine after the gig I think it's time to accept defeat and acknowledge by body doesn't like how the bass hangs when standing up. It's an incredible bass, sounds amazing, plays amazing and I love the design of the basses from the body shape to the bridge and headstock design. Thinking I'll probably put it in a case and leave it there as a studio tool thought it pains me to have such a great instrument not being used!

I got mine, put it straight on my board. Used it in rehearsal for a laugh and the presets were great and the pedal really responded well with my active spector. Actually used it tonight on my gig, shoehorned it in! Sounded fat. Everyone has commented on how great it sounds! Haven't had a chance to actually play with it, instead just using the presets but I'm sure tweaking the settings will get it suited to your bass.

Got one arriving tomorrow from dunlop uk! I will be out watching Alanis morrisette in the evening so will have to wait until Thursday to use it!

I would agree with that! Although I think that the darker album was not down to Doug alone, I think a lot of new music around that time was on the darker side and they went in that direction.

I'm a big fan of Doug Wimbish and Living Colour. Bit before my time, but I remember hearing Cult of Personality on Napster and loving it and then when I was 20 seeing Wimbish doing that performance on his DVD on YouTube completely blew me a way. Saw lots of polar opinions about the sound on this tiny desk performance but I loved the separation, hearing Vernon reads guitar and dougs bass tone coming through.

After two years in a row playing it, I'm very relieved not to be sleeping in a freezing cold, damp tent, zero sleep, desperately trying to keep hold of your your tickets for your gear that youve put in site storage and the either cold or extremely hot showers!! Of course I'll miss the playing and the fun but the rest I do not miss at all!

I find on my Spector LT5 a good setup, good intonation and a lighter gauge string... I user a .125 Dunlop super bright gives me a lot of clarity and note all the way across the neck. I find not cranking the bass on the preamp or amp also helps and also a lighter touch helps bring more note out of the string.

So glad I'm out of the world or updates and getting on with life with analog pedals 🤣 just joking. The Quad is great just not for me!

Haha! I think I'm going to be pretty strict, and have the bored as a limitation and the hx one there to do any of the delays or pitch shifters I used once in a blue moon. I'm wondering how well the drives are on that too. One weakness I have is I now have artist pricing on Dunlop and MXR so I might get tempted! I had the most success when I had a board of EBS pedals a long time ago, people would comment on the sound to me. Comp, Octabass, Valvedrive and Wah! I'm fact I think you interviewed me about it!

I have sold the QC to a friend for a bit less than I could've if I had wanted to list it in various places. I lent it to him and he loved it so it was an easy sale. I'm not going for an Anagram though. I've decided to go mostly Analog and down the MXR and Dunlop route, and considering eventually maybe a HX One Stomp for those one off pedals I like having more for fun or for an extra bit of drive. This way I'll have a fair bit if cash left over from the QC sale.
