Alright, I don’t want electro about it

You’ve jumped the Shark

Come on guys, have some Empathy edit - damn beaten to it!

I don’t think I’d call it underrated though

Lovely, looks amazing in grey.

Looks amazing 🤩

That’s it - I keep calling it fishergate for some reason (was there a fish restaurant there at some stage?!)

I know what you mean! For me though it’s one of those things that when wrapped around a band can sound really special, and like with a phaser, the shifting frequencies make your bass sound separate a little and give it some 3D texture. I tend to avoid blending pedals as I never feel they work as well

I second this, Chris is a good guy. I’ve used Mor Music in Fishergate too who I believe now do a collect and drop service. Both were for fairly straightforward jobs mind.

Yes good call, I think TC do a cheap version which is meant to be quite good too.

The proton I sold very quickly - just didn’t like it at all for some reason. Pedals do seem to be a hugely hyped corner of our hobby (for better or worse) and it seems like it’s gone particularly crazy n recent times

Yeah, it’s not getting as much use as my old faves. I liked a lot about it though especially the colour 😃

I prefer the Wonderlove to the Proton!

Sooner or later their ‘unmoderated’ utopia was going to come crashing down when the realities of managing a number of people came knocking. I said as much but was hounded for it of course.

Does anyone else like how shiny they are 😊

Because you want to do it? 😁

I mostly use mine at home playing along to music. When I’ve used it live and practice I’ve noticed it less because I’m in front of my amp so could probably go without. But for headphones it’s essential for me now! Well of course with the floorboard too 😂

Nice, I’ve used mine for around an hour a day for over a year and it feels really weird playing without it now!

Just had an update RE the Backbeat G2 It will use a user replaceable 18650 battery giving more power and charging will be via USB3! Still sounds great - I’ve put myself down for the pre order in Feb. Waiting on info re cabling maybe next.

Just found it does eventually work if you leave it for several minutes. But still. Mind you this machine is on Catalina and an older version of Safari

It does on my phone, but desktop it loads the first part of the page then seizes. So the 'New Arrivals' age shows a few Spectors, then I scroll down and it's all white, then it freezes. Mind you this Mac is pretty ancient and it's not it's only problem!

Yes the G&L SB basses do feel like sleeker and more refined versions of their ancestors. My old SB1 with flats is like a pair of ancient jeans that feel like a second skin, combines with a pair of warm slippers. When I pick up the Stingray (pre EB slab body) it feels like a right chunky sod, but I love that about it, and for me the hand position is really comfortable - the bass isn't even very heavy, so that's lucky. I'm not that sensitive to neck width or profile, but do really appreciate the rounded feel of a played in neck.

I really wish they'd do a better website! It doesn't even work on Safari, at least on my desktop.
