I think it will work if you set each midi device to send and receive on different channels. Long time since I used Reaper, but there should be a drop down list of midi channels in each track panel. Harder to explain than to do!

A rare (unique?) instance of Walter singing lead on a Dan track.

I mix it with a Zoom G3 and TCE Nova Dynamics comp, and various boosters/ dirt boxes, no problems. Easy to tweak live.

Choruses, delays, reverbs and compressors are very good, imho. Also great with guitar as well as bass. The envelope filters and octavers I find difficult to tune in. I don’t use preamps or cab or amp sims, but others on here speak very highly of them.all in all it is a great bang for buck box of tricks. Plus, ToneLib editor (3rd party) is very useful.

Thanks for that. I will check when I get home, see what colour silks and ball ends. In an6 case, they’re good!

I thought it might be Elixirs, but I have read that they get fuzzy when they get worn. I have been playing the crap out of this thing, and the strings remain slick and shiny. D’addarios mebbe?

I played guitar, mandolin and bouzouki before I took up bass. Went straight to fretted and very soon after that to fretless. It was fretless that thrilled me like guitar used to. Playing bass fixed my lousy timing, speeding up, etc. I went back to electric guitar for my last band, and now after a hiatus I’m playing bass again with mates from that band. I groove like a mutha, obviously, being steeped in the Scottish white funk tradition. I love it so much!

Thank you for that. Another great Donald Fagen song. I must I must improve my nonexistent reading skills.

Ain't like no Music Man I ever heard of!

Your criteria point to the TCE combos. I had the 115 second hand, and I thought it was a very goo£ amp at two hundred smackers. Very clever EQ on these amps, btw.

Not Delay, Dynamics! Sorry.

I got my Nova Delay for fifty British pounds. Keep yer eyes peeled on basschat or eBay.

Plus one for the Nova Dynamics. I have one, and it is extremely flexible. It has two channels, so you can set up each channel for a particular instrument. You can also mix the amount of compression in each channel with dry signal. They got a bad rap from Ovnilabs, who said the ones he tried had a noise he couldn’t dial out. I have not been able to replicate the behaviour he described, so my advice is, if you see one GRAB IT!

Crikey, that Ritter is striking. But you’d think he would take the trouble to put the pickups on straight, for goodness sake!

People were leaving quite early one yesterday, due to the rain. We had some Airbnb folk from Scotland staying, they headed back to the auld country about 4pm. The mud was plentiful! I missed The Cuban Brothers with Hamish Stuart guesting. Dagnabbit.

There were a LOT of rap acts!

Do you mean The Big Feastival at Alex James’ place? It was indeed pishing down there yesterday! When were you on?

Lovely basses.

That Jon Cleary thing is aces!

Anybody know what strings the SR500 comes with? The strings on mine (2 position minds switch so must be a couple of years old) are very nice and slippery . I’ve got a Yamaha BBG II fretless incoming. Excited!

This is great. I do like a bit of confirmation bias. Thanks guys. Having come back to bass from guitar, I was hoping to escape the GAS death spiral, but NO! Those Prestige and Premium SR models look very cool but not too boo-teeky. In general I have given up on high end guitars and basses. Had some nice Gibsons back in the day. Now I like my bitsa Tele and Jap Strat, and was very happy with my bitsa Jazz until I played the Ibanez.

I Don’t Need No Doctor, Humble Pie, Rockin’ The Fillmore. Also Hallelujah I Love Her So from the same album. Monster.

Did you get sorted?
