I think it is a good choice, she was recommended to them by someone they trusted, she can clearly do the job and more importantly, although she is known, she isn't a 'name' like Portnoy or Grohl that everyone already has fixed ideas on.

I have a number that is probably above 10, and I was looking at doing some adverts to move them on, or at least ones that dont get played much. but I also have a new one incoming!

I am also wiped out with lurgi since the middle of last week, but I will be fine by sunday!

It does, but that is no different from an ABY pedal or just connecting the direct of one effect to another, its the same signal. You can put a different effects on different parts of the same signal, but ultimately it will still sound like one bass with different processing on it.

Yep, more comments here

When they said getting other people in, I did hope that they would get a guest singer too. I didn't bother with the last tour as clearly he couldn't sing most of the earlier stuff, so I doubt it has changed much.

Sure, I will start making space on the pedalboard now

If only there was some clue in your signature!

I do remember, and I am thinking of selling some basses, but that one isn't in the list, it is currently close to being my favourite, it has certainly done more gigs than any other single bass.

Seems to be generally positive, but the same points seem to come up from everyone, which made me unsure. Plus, when it comes down to it, its quite a lot for a copy of a thing, when you can get that thing for the same price, so, well, I went and got the same thing for the same price, even if it has a string missing - I will try and see if I can get on with it, and if I can't then I shouldn't have much trouble moving it on

Both of those were pretty cheap - this is too expesnive for what I need, but a bit cheaper would be ok! I suspect I updated my SY-1 for an SY-200 before you did? But then I never really used it much anyway!

Excellent - can I have first dibs when you move it on?

Well, I won't say as she still lives there!

Fancy that, you live 1 minute down the road from my aunt, who doesn't play the bass.

Not really how it can work, as there is powered gear everywhere and not really much instrument only!

If its the same as mine it is 101cm - I know that as that is a pain size to get the bag (which I now have!)

I just pick one and play it. Next time I am playing chances are I will pick a different one and play it. Unless there is some compelling reason, I don't actually swap basses once I have started playing (like I was planning to take a different bass to a gig or if I want to see something is easier to play on some piece or not)

It seems to say that USB is purely for audio in/out.

The full size one has midi program change and parameter changing and a full size midi socket.

Transfer of faff - in one case it is you doing it, in the other case is someone else doing it! It probably could but it is a free plugin that we didn't write that does it.

I know, that is what I meant - it uses the first picture you upload, there is no mechanism to change that after the fact. As far as I can see it would have to be manually edited to work, but I have never done it or looked at what needs to be done, I would imagine that in some way it would be a faff.

you don't, it just automatically picks the first picture you uploaded

Oh there are definately times in the set of a wedding that the audience have all buggered off outside, but then they are not there to see you. They come in later and there is cake!

Sadly I missed my chance to get one of those just after brexit when thoman had them for €1350 but didn't know how the whole import tax thing worked, by the time they added it they had none left. I am not sure I wanted a 5 like that anyway. Well, I have a genuine 4004 ric with 5 string and its neck seems fine with the strings on it, I just used lighter than normal ones, 40-125 and it seems happy. It is one of my most played basses, that and the maruschyk but the look of the 4003 was always an appeal. I spoke with HW, he said he put a Shaller 3D bridge on it so I could get the spacing smaller - ironically my 4004 started with one of those but now has a narrower bridge on it otherwise it wouldn't fit on the neck and would go outside the pickups. I keep thinking i could just get a normal ric, but they are such stupid money even tatty these days, and ultimately a 4 string is not really going to be something I end up gigging, and if I don't gig it, what is the point having it?
