Jean-Luc Pickguard

It really needed illustrating as well as confirming

Guild starfire I

No this is for my guitar pedalboard. There's no space left on my bass pedalboard.

Is the Gear abstinance challange for bass gear only? So far this year I've bought a multifx pedal (Zoom MS-50G £50) and an acoustic guitar (Vintage Statesboro parlour - a blummin' bargain at £30) so if it isn't bass-only I guess I've failed the G.A.C.

If its not good enough for Alan Davey its not good enough for me. He's good on QI though.

My MS-50G was finally delivered this morning. No box, manual or USB cable, but it looks like its in near perfect condition and it was only £50 so I'm happy. I'm only going to use the pedal with guitar as I have a zoom B3 for bass so I won't bother with 'jailbreaking' the MS-50G to load MS-60B fx on. It had the v3.0 firmware when it came so I've flashed it to v3.1 and used the effect manager software to add some additional fx. I just had a noodle with my banana yellow bullet mustang into my vox valvetronic amp via the MS-50G and some of the effects sound very impressive. The reverbs in particular are great How to use the knobs and buttons is still a bit of a mystery to me so I've put the manual and effects list pdfs on my iPad so I can learn how to use it.

What a crook

It looks like the holes are for the volume & tone pots. I doubt its for a bass, maybe its meant for a lap steel?

I prefer the buster gonad signature model: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/255332117622

I have a secondhand zoom MS-50G incoming as I'm putting together a guitar pedalboard and wanted something small to add some delay/reverb, and play with modulation fx. I don't know whether the firmware has been updated but if not that's the first thing I'll do when it arrives. I have downloaded the tonelib-zoom software - is that the best thing for setting it up? What's it like to use?

The description reads like a confession

I could be tempted by a hagstrom eight string. A certain Mr Hendrix played one of the original Hagstrom 8 strings on 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp' from electric ladyland.

There is a simple explanation. The demon living inside the keyboard was expressing his displeasure at being in a church.

The ad says it is MiM not MiJ

I like anything that isn't a tweeter.

sticky backed plastic was fablon https://www.homebase.co.uk/brands/fablon.list not the clear stuff for school books

I’d be very tempted at this price if I wasn’t so shallow that the weird pickguard puts me off. If it had something like a les paul jnr pickguard with the pots mounted from the back it would look so much cooler.

I was six so my taste in music was abysmal in 1970

Can't go wrong with an 'aged' white pearl pickguard.

Nice!

They could have spent a couple of minutes cleaning the dust and gunk of it before taking the pics.

There's a chap whi sells on ebay who can add something he calls 'braille dots'

This thread has sparked a memory of other bass forums from back in the day The dudepit which if I recall correctly ceased shortly after to some drama relating to hookers and crack in Vegas bunnybass which featured some really nice photos of basses as one of the owners was a bass playing photographer A dutch one - was it basslink.nl? Fender UK had a forum with a bass section I'm sure there were others

It looks a bit like a status streamline

It is usually described as a wet fart under a blanket.
