Just had one arrive today. The aim is to have this in a loop, so it won't be an issue, but can say in a quick play-around to test it I've changed the bank (the push function of this pot) every time I've turned the unit on or off... EDIT: Just saw the post below. This will help a lot with this issue. As I've only just unboxed I haven't had a chance to update the firmware yet.

I hope not too many people turn up expecting the original event today… All others going to the reorganised stuff, have fun!

Heh. Danny's back on it:

Do it. If they’re going to be so belligerent towards suggestions that this was a scam then they need to prove otherwise….

Had a shift in focus for the bigger board. New band requires more heavy tones, so tweaked to add more drive.

Nicely done. Thankfully, I avoided booking the travel and accommodation, so sitting this one out, but hope all who are up there have a good time!

Mrstheelvy raised a good point when I mentioned this, namely that 'postponement' is not equal to 'cancellation', in name at least. So refunds may not be as automatic as would be liked...

I was willing to give this the benefit of the doubt and see what the reports were after it had taken place, but I do wonder how long this 'postponement' will be...

It seems the only announcement on this has been the website page. Nothing on their social media apart from all posts being removed from Instagram. I'm still 50/50 on scam vs disfunctional shambles...

Not looking good there is it? I'm heading over to Brighton in a couple of weeks and was hoping to have a browse. The website's always been super useful for ordering a variety of bits and bobs.

Things are slowly looking less sketchy for this, but still could do with some better organising. Was amused when I caught the comment below on their post… Also, any word on their venue changing again yet? They’ve been stating the CLS centre for a while, but at last check none of the rooms were booked for that date yet…

Appreciate the input guys. In general, it’s probably overthinking things - the difference in height is about half an inch, but it makes the difference between obvious tension and a nice even weight distribution across shoulders and back. The lower setting is still higher than many wear their basses, so guess I’ll just get on with it!

Any advice on keeping your back free of tension? I’ve always tried to keep my basses at the “correct” height, ie no strain to either wrist, but with my strap set to seated height, or even just below I get a lot of tension built up in my back and shoulders. Lowering the strap, even just a notch or two, almost immediately relieves it, but leaves the bass in a slightly sub-optimal position. Anything I can do to make this better, or should I just embrace the rock stance and get on with it?

We haven’t had a drummer explode, but we have had one disappear… Woke up one morning to a message along the lines of “sorry, but I’ve got to go…”, and that was it. No further contact, social media disappeared, not one sighting… In my day job I even work in the same building as the guy and haven’t seen him since…

I see that Bass Review Magazine are now advertising this event… 🙄
