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.

It's not necessarily to do with the anagram, I've been feeling this was about the QC for a while but decided to stick it out for a while with the QC. It's great but underused features why. Its almost like I just want less stuff haha The QC is amazing but probably overly complicated for my needs and with some effects I struggle to get the sounds I want or find how some of them interact with my basses I just can't get the sounds I expect from them. Most notably from the filters. It would be to free up some cash and either at some point go with an anagram or actually just buy a few nice pedals and a tuner.. the Anagram would probably make sense due to the range of drives and also the extra effects that I would use sporadically. I've got a whammy, a phaser and an aftershock already sitting in boxes that all do the job. Would maybe opt for a Dunlop Chancellor Wah, MXR vintage bass octave, possibly a comp to add to that but then I love the clean set up of the QC and dislike my OCD with builinf pedalboards. Let's face it I can do pretty much all my gigs with my bass, tuner and sansamp.

Very much considering selling my QC, if I can get the right price. I use a patch with a compressor, drive, delay and a phaser for most live stuff I do and then a patch that I use fro practice. It does seem crazy to me that I'm using so little of its potential. It does sound amazing though but I watched the IMA video and some of the things he mentioned were things I felt about the QC.

Got the standard 45-125 Super Brights on my LT5 now! I love these strings, very much more flexible and respond better to how you're playing to what I was using. They've completely opened up the sound on my Spector. The bass now sings, where it sounded a bit stiff and dead. The B string is so clear and articulate now. Easier on the hands too, which I suppose is from not having to pull the sound out of the bass so much!
