Not sure what model you got but all of my LED lights, including the new one from Aliexpress have a 4 digit LED on the back with a select and up down button. I have a manual with mine, but it seems that the code is similar to my older lights so maybe it is a standard?

The drop down says the light is £138, the DMX controller is £29. The lights are in the tech spec, but so is the DMX controller so it is sold as parts.

I had a custom build made because it was what I wanted, and I couldn't get what I wanted off the shelf. It plays more gigs that most of the others, but not all because I don't believe on having a bass that I don't gig (except a 4 string, but I have had it so long), so the others get used as well.

Although the numbers are irrelevant (there is no real standard for that), the chapman stick railboard have a fret marker on the 2nd fret (2, 7, 12, 17 - who knows why).

more concerning is a lack of muting below the 0th fret

Maybe it is meant to be played more like an NS:Stick, but then the fan frets make very little sense. I suspect it was one of those 'because I can' rather than 'because I should' instruments.

Yes, the first fret on a chapman style instrument would be the zero fret, as you can't tap an open string.

Wow, I did hundreds of gigs with a hxfx and never had an issue. Mind you, never had an issue with my CTM100 either!

Indeed, that doesn't really make any sense. I assume thought that it isn't meant to be strung like a chapman stick?

Personally prefer the Bulbous Sapele!

Should be good as the string spacing is meticulously adjusted making it easy to press the strings! Or as always when you see a page layout like that, you could just then go to aliexpress and find the same thing for £200 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007340673672.html

turned up today, amazing for £36!

Seattle? Like Krist Novoselic and his Gibson RD Artist and thunderbirds, or Jeff Ament with his Hamer 12 strings?

I watched a recent video about it on bass and I wasn't that impressed with its sounds, but it is small and useable so for gigging it is probably ok

Not seeing anything in the logs here that relates to that. The 'Sorry there was a problem reacting to this content' is an error caused by mixing http and https, but I can't see why you would be doing that. if you force reload the page and click does it do the same?

Thats seems like my dream gig, except I am here in Yeovil and frankly my keys are a bit rusty!

a lot of them are hand made. Not hand made well, but still hand made in some shed somewhere.

you type 1 / and 2, and the forum puts it together like this 7 1/2 or it used to!

So are a lot of the basses on aliexpress.

I have a U4 IEM (not using it at the moment as I am using the Lekato setup), and no they don't switch off, which is exactly how I would want it, I don't want something that decides it is going to switch off at any point, it has switched. Of course the only issue on the U4 is the switches are easy to knock on, although that isn't a problem if they are in in the official case (which I got shortly before I stopped using them!)

Be interested how you get on, it is on my list of things to probably end up with for my small pedalboard! Would probably be good if I use a midi switcher to select the patches.

Yes, I would be interested on this, especially relating to noise.

Boss are loads of peoples favourites. When they came in in the late 70s, early 80s there was pretty well nothing to touch them and they remained that way for a long time. They came up with the standards for many effects and kind of defined both the size of effects and the controls we expected of them. And even the colours we expected effects to be! I think they are still the reference for what effects are supposed to sound like.

Well, better than last night, very little of the same problems of yesterday, but god was it hot! Luckily the club had some fans, but even so it was like a sauna. Not as well attended as some have been there, but for some reason the setup was easier, and I think we seemed to play much better. There were a couple of songs, Learn to fly, the singer decided to do the end part before the end which caused us an issue, and a few other fluffs, but nothing as major as that. At half time we found the guitarist that we had last year came to see us which was good to see him. I played the ric tonight, as I did last night, I really do like that bass live, apart from seven nation army, that is a bit shit for. Everything else it is great. Certainly going to feel it tomorrow though. And black Solovair boots, the broken ones. Oh I took the <£10 laser too..
