Janek just posted the below on his YouTube channel. They have managed to secure a venue in North London, in Dalston, on the 1st of June. Tickets on sale, I bought mine just now and with the exchange from US to GBP it comes to around £35.

Ian replied, such a great guy he is. Janek will be updating on the matter in a day or two. Looks promising though Edit*: this is regarding a Janek and Ian get together. Just wanted to avoid confusion with the refunds, as it's a completely separate matter.

I have not been following this lately... Did Janek or Ian manage to sort out something instead? I have sent Ian a short message over IG, not sure if he will get to it but worth the try 😄

Shame it's been cancelled. Currently watching Janek Gwizdala's latest video regarding the cancellation and the fact that him and Ian Martin Allison are still looking at doing something in London. I hope they do manage to put something together, I would definitely get a ticket to see them both.

Curious to try out LUNA. I have been hesitant about it as I have been on Logic for years (and ProTools way before, I learned on ProTools 7/8 many moons ago).

Option paralysis is definitely a thing when you have a generous amount of UAD plugins. I also do try to limit myself, and try to build a channel strip for each instrument/vocal going in. Funny enough, I have also upgraded my rig with an 8-channel ADAT as my 2-channel Apollo was not enough in some scenarios. I do like the fact that you can still load plugins onto the ADAT channels and get a flavour out of them too. In today's "in the box" workflow, I do like to commit to tape sometimes (with a separate clean DI tone as a backup) as it makes things more interesting when committing to a sound.

Option paralysis for sure! Haven't had the chance to use the Avalon yet, will put it on my wishlist ☺️

Hi there! I have been using the UAD Apollo ecosystem for a few years and wondered what other bassists like using in their digital signal flow. I have had great results running my P-basses through my A-Designs REDDI and then into the Apollo, using the industry-standard Neve 1073 plugin and then into the DBX 160 or the 1176 compressor emulation for a great all-round sound. I do like other preamp and eq options within the UAD range too. The amp simulations are also pretty good for in-the-box production, and I do not need to piss the neighbours off late at night if I want to get an Ampeg 8x10 sound onto a track 🤣 What are your favourite signal chains? Would love to see what everyone else is doing 🤘

Very interesting pedal. Amos' NAMM demo was great. It's great to see another bass player bringing out their own parallel Octave + Drive unit 🤘 I had Tom over at COG Effects build me a custom parallel Octave/Drive unit over a decade ago called the Octagrit. https://www.cogeffects.co.uk/octagrit.php

Sounded great on Zack's video, looking forward to hearing what other bass players do with it.
