Dood

Congrats! I really enjoyed the brief time I had with this amp. Even now I recall reviewing it and being sorely tempted to double my chiropractic bill. - Actually, yes it is heavy but the handles as I recall did make moving it easier? I liked the well thought out signal path options of which there is more than enough to keep the tweezers happy. Great! I reckon another 4x10 underneath would be just the right amount of WOHHHH we all know and love

Heh heh! I've had many near misses too. Actually come to think of it, there was one blisteringly hot day that I had to have a shirt over the top of my T Shirt due to a spillage! Ahhh that's more than cool, I think I'll just enjoy the geek out even if it is stuff I am aware of - moreover, if I get asked about IEMs, I can certainly send the link and refer to your discussion specifically. Thank you on behalf of those getting in to IEMs for doing this. I think it will be a great resource.

I'm really looking forward to watching your two videos. I did see just a minute or so of the second one as I was waiting for a student to arrive here.. The scarf thing .. 😂 Will hopefully catch up with the rest later on.

Rest In Peace fellow low-ender.

There's no denying it has a very wide sonic palette between its available modes. Great form factor and sounds cool. I'd still fancy a @Tech21NYC Q/Strip though..ermmm.. as well ha ha!!

However fine motor skills are honed by playing a number of different instruments. Even variations of type. Bass, 4,5,6,7 string. Guitar, chunky neck, skinny flat neck,,keyboard.. drums... And errr, that's why I need all of those.. (still working on getting drums...)

😂

If I am honest, I would say that most of my gigs at the moment have no requirement for a 6 strip and only some times the low B - Though I like to use it a bit more to add depth to some versions of songs we do. I could easily gig with just a 4 string, but the reason I use the 6 all the time is because.. well... its my lil babe. The best bass I've ever played and therefore even if I don't need all the strings, it's coming out to play with me every gig My keyboard player uses a full size 'piano weighted controller', the full 88 keys. I guess it would be the same as her leaving 20 of those keys at home ha ha. She loves that deck!

Shhhhhh, I’m trying not to buy another six string bass 😂😂😂😂 my main squeeze for 25 odd years!

And this one from @SpondonBassed above has got to be one for the quotes thread.. just because..well.. I said so he he he!!

Oh, now see, you're demonstrating some impressive bass geekism there! I used to just say that my insides look like a stick of Brighton Rock, just saying bass down the middle.. Hex Core Spine? Now that sums it up better!

A good friend of mine asked me once what other hobbies I have aside from playing bass. The silence afterward was deafening 😂 (True story!)

A)Led fretboard or not Yes B)Maple or Wengé fretboard Maple C)Single headless pieces or whole bridge Single Mono-Rail D)Brass or steel string clamp at headstock Brass E)Active or passive Active F)3 band or 3 band parametric Would prefer parametric G)Oil finish or polyurethane Poly H)Scale length- 25 or 28 inch 34" for bass 26.5" for guitar - 28 with respect to your design. I)Bolt on or neck through Neck through for bass J)Truss rod or just carbon support rods Both K)Out jack on top or side Side away from standing positions L)Extended fretboard to act as ramp or not No, would get in the way of slap position. Separate ramp between pickups I can share pictures of this very dream bass by the way

Ok, last one.. I had some branding designed (as you can see in my avatar and signature). I never met the designer, nor did I even speak to him before he came up with the design you can see. He only looked at my social media for a few minutes and summed up in these logos. They remain unchanged from that day other than adding colour. That is how much bass geek I am lol!!!!

My daughter genuinely thought that the Bass Clef was my own symbol. She still calls it "your symbol" even now.

My cupboards for my basses and gear wildly outnumbers the cupboards for storage of pretty much everything else I own in the house.

When I got to get change out of my pocket in the shops, I have to dig through the plectrums to find the right coins.

When I used to have an office job, many years ago, whereas everyone else had photographs of their children on their desks, I had pictures of my basses. I kinda did it on purpose at first to see if anyone would notice.. but they kinda looked cool, so I left them there.

I approve of this very tidy board! Yeah, really nice!

I use HX Edit so much that I have dedicated cables on and under my desk ready to plug Helix devices in.. I know.. I need to get out more. /geek

Thats brilliant!

In similar news, I bought one of those custom 'faux Fender' etched plates for my flip-paint Fender when I upgraded it. I've been thoroughly impressed with the neck plate and it always gets a smile when I show people so I am absolutely sure you'll get the same nods of appreciation with yours Big Stu! *Edit the seller appears to have disappeared from eBay.

It works really well if the tempo is adhered too. The tempo is actually not fast but the 16th note bass pattern gives the illusion of speed overall. I’ve seen bands start waaaay too quickly leaving the bassist struggling to keep up. Try notching it back to say 70bpm-ish to get the sound tight with the band Effects wise I’d reach for my Helix and dial in a sound which will get very close.

They are pretty good actually!! Go for the version 2 if you can as I have seen one or two version 1’s misbehaving - which I think has been down to a ribbon cable issue. YMMV. i would say that for bass though, GM hasn’t had an update in years and thus newer processors (even cheaper in comparison to the new price of a GM2) will probably perform better. I have had a few TC Racks and generally they are very good.
