  4. My preference for both the behringer clone and the LMB-3 is to have all the knobs pointing north as it is easy to remember and sounds best to my ears. I use a Boss SY-1 synth which I guess is in a similar ballpark to your SYB-5. I have that pedal first in the chain with my thumpinator immediately after, the LMB-3 after that, and then a couple of dirt pedals last. Putting the synth first helped with it triggering smoothly and eliminating glitches.

  7. Are we sure it isn't a clever parody video?
  8. Nice! this has serious Dusty Hill vibes.
  9. I'm not Crazy - The Residents
  10. If you don't like the stock vintage pro pickups you might need some of these 😉 ...Or maybe change strings. I play flatwounds exclusively and have settled on EB Cobalt flats on my vintage pros, which sound massive.
  11. Nice! — the byrds inlay looks great. Despite the appearance, the bisonic pickup is actually a single coil. The four screwheads are for adjusting the height of each adjacent pole piece. I have a flamed natural maple starfire II and the pickups have a wonderful tone.

  16. I have a couple of the Fender mustang bass hardcases and one of the discontinued Fender short scale 'urban' gigbags, so the one that came with this bass is unlikely to be used. I think a nice torty pickguard might have been a worthwhile alternative for the daphne blue one.
  17. Isn't modern logistics great when it works. I ordered a Black JMJ mustang online just before 3pm yesterday and it was delivered safely just before 11.30am this morning. Two thumbs up for PMT & Parcelforce for this one. The bass came out of the gigbag perfectly set up with the stock Fender flats. It has an MX22 serial and its a very slight disappointment that Fender are still supplying a long scale gigbag rather than a short scale one. I had heard that an extra black pickguard was supplied with these when they were first available, but I wasn't sure whether that was just for the first batch of black ones, so It was fantastic to find one tucked in the gigbag pocket — I'll probably swap it over at some point. It has pretty much the same feel and tone as my 2018 blue JMJ. I had to smile at the inclusion of a document titled 'lacquer finishes: Precautions and care' though.

  19. I can't believe no one has mentioned Phillips Cleartone Guitar Conversions yet with the trademark 'jaunty ballbags' tuners.
  20. Keep Talkin' - The Residents
  21. When Ken Barlow exits Coronation Street none of the original cast members will be in it, so it will be interesting to see whether it rebrands as a tribute act or keeps the name and rips off the loyal viewers.

  25. It looks like it'd be good for quidditch
