I'd love for companies to come to BC with that information. Hmmm, something I can add to my ToDo list!!

Nyargh, the formatting has gone a bit weird on the specifications - sorry!

Hello little tikes! These look pretty interesting! What do you think? It looks like they've taken the the B3 / MS models a step further.

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1387538778' post='2313049'] I went this year for the first time and wished I'd brought my own bass when I was trying out bass gear. Does anyone know the policy about punters bringing in personal instruments to the show? Jazzyvee [/quote] As an artist, I wasn't checked and was able to come and go with both my basses. I'm not sure what the score is with show-goers in general though.

I totally understand that they make pickups in all the sizes that sell best, but it really messes with my pseudo-OCD! Take EMG for example. I like their blade design active pickups such as the DC soap bar - but, I've a crazy pang to have an MM pickup put in one of my bass guitars that has a pair of DCs in already. My problem is that none of their MM pickups are the same size (length) as the DCs. Once installed, they will look untidy and unmatched. Delano again do a range of really nice pickups and I have a pair of SBC 'driver' soap bars in another bass that are the Bart P2 size. Again, looking at that bass instead - and having a pang for an MM sound - none of the MM size pickups they make as standard are the same length as the available soap bars. Am i too fussy?? I just like all my pickups to look even you see. Not too much to ask! I'd love to have custom pickups made, sure, but the one-off tooling would be costly. Thoughts?

Minor advert updates. Still current.

I've quite a list of drummers on my 'bucket list', but I've had the pleasure with working with (in one playing form or another) Raphael Saini, Thomas Lang, Gavin Harrison, Jason Bowld, John Macaluso and soon Marco Minneman. Happy Dood

I would like to try a new series 2 Big Twin. I've no idea if it would suit what I would like from a cabinet but on paper alone it sounds like a great idea.

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1387366599' post='2311082'] Looked at your MS-60 review too Dood. Waiting for one to arive. Damn you for inflating my GAS... [/quote] Sawwwrryy

[quote name='tonyclaret' timestamp='1387182363' post='2308971'] Hi Dood, loved the ms60 review on YouTube. Do you use both in conjunction with each other? I kinda like the idea of having the effects always available on the b3 as to go stomp box set and perhaps buying the ms60b for the amp sims and comp. Can you assign the patch switching order on the b3 like you can on the ms60b so it cycles through assigned patches? Thanks in advance :-) [/quote] I do use the two in conjunction yes! How depends on the gig, but sometimes I'll set the MS up with my 'channel switching options' - which as I say I use a bit like a guitarist with a two or three channel amplifier. Then I'll use the B3 for all the other extras I might need. Pete has answered the next question already.

Thank you for the replies everyone.
