Best pedal ever - simple The DI has an inbuilt can sim to ‘tame’ and this is different to the ‘normal out’ or you can even run that into the front end of the amp

Nice work my man

Good lad 🤘🏾

that smoking example is people being plain dumb where they probably have a designated smoking area - if that’s the case - they should lose their job. No problem with lateral flows - in all likelihood should be for vaxed and non vaxed to be completely fair/true as both can carry and pass on. propaganda and scaremonger artists without solid evidence are idiots - I have met people who think the vaccines are made from foetuses. The people who may have genuine and personal concerns are more the group I am thinking of

If that person gets the virus, If it mutates, is it’s passed on, if it mutates further, if it’s passed on etc. On one hand apparently Covid deaths are way down the list and everything should be opened up but not for everyone…..unemployment rates should where possible not be added to. Look it’s a difficult argument and will be circular with points on both sides, examples given etc. only way to check would be an animal study with animals of a similar immunogenicity to humans-vaccinate a load, infect them and see how the virus behaves and if a key percentage of animals are vaxed and no detriment happens to the Comminity - there is your answer Hate crimes are just that - crimes, this isn’t something based on hate.

I get what you are saying and it’s a longer discussion than grasped moments of typing whilst at work. Believe me, I get what happens with Covid probably more than most having worked on one of the first victims in my hospital and lost a relative to it (as just a couple examples). Briefly speaking - There is work out there about unvaccinated potentially allowing themselves to be a reservoir for mutation. Vaccinated can still pass the virus on but will hopefully suffer less. The natural history of viruses is to mutate, but it must be mentioned the more ‘successful’ the virus is (as becoming more virulent) it will also kill itself off as it will die with the host. We will Probably have too up boosters yearly (this is already being researched and volunteers testing) which will subtly tweak the vaccine to the ‘new variant’ which is essentially what happens with the flu vaccine. There will be a key percentage of people that will need to be vaccinated to keep things in a decent status quo and under wraps - this may well be a big enough majority to be fine. People will have genuine concern about 1 or all the vaccines (esp mRNA new tech) and you cannot choose easily which one you have. Re smoking/seatbelts vs vaccines - I am not aware of too many cases where you smoke in a public place or don’t wear a seatbelt on your way to work and you lose your job, are not allowed to enter an entertainment place or are stopped from travel, which is the main crux of my feelings on this and how far civil liberties will/could be curtailed for people. Now in my job I accept that I HAD to get various vaccines and do various things, BUT I knew in advance of starting the profession. For others, it’s a different kettle of fish conceptually. Thats all I am discussing in a nutshell before we starting coming out with examples and even tying It to racist terms (🤷🏾‍♂️ 😡)

It’s all a journey and we are glad you like Sandbergs as much as we do hopefully

Only conflict is good, very good or superb!

It’s funny because I prefer Dan’s slower delivery to some of the more chipmunk type high energy reviews that come out. I like to sit and watch it with a nice cuppa and relax.

It will do for sure, but if. You want rounds - they are very decent. Enjoy the bass - it’s so much fun, and by no means a toy

Congrats Tony, they are fantastic basses - I love mine. The drop D lever is a godsend. It’s awesome as a travel bass. Status double ball ended strings are great with it as well. I ended up popping the EMGs in there but run them without the active EQ so just Vol/Vol/tone. Enjoy!

sorry I didn’t address this good point earlier and I am sure we can move on after. I agree - the wedge is massive and none of that is correct. It was a turn of phrase incorrectly used by me. What you say is correct, but what I think I was trying to convey was that with what you said smaller sections of society were/are pressurised - this is now expanding . Having experienced elements - it’s not right - that’s all.

I agree but You cannot necessarily choose to have that one very easily.

Seriously?! At which point did I suggest curtailing freedom when it suits. You made some points with examples, I countered with real life examples I have seen and if you really want I can give examples of where a seatbelt was potentially to the detriment - but as ever you are confounding the issue, especially bringing racists abuse into it. My feelings don’t get hurt, it’s not a term I agree with, that’s it. The problem is when you posted an article slamming the musician, like a poor tabloid press without due diligence and then when someone told you the facts, you have to backtrack, by all means hold your opinion on anti vaxers, but do due diligence. Why as a medic would I not want people to have a free choice whether I agree with it or not? I chose to go on the Oxford trial and I chose to get vaccinated with it, but that was at least my choice.

All valid points - but from the other side, some are unproven vaccines or modified proven (I know a leap of faith is required). Some will be anti vax - they wont budge, some people may have legitimate concerns about long term effects of mRNA tech we do not know a lot about, forcing them to make an uncomfortable decision by taking away the ability to work and freedom feels uneasy to me - that’s it. Another vaccine example - chicken pox - other countries do, why don’t we? You can get the vaccine privately, and chicken pox can be horrible in kids and horrendous in adults. life has been so poo because of covid it will cause angst, was just a thought…….

smoking affects them and others with passive smoke. Seatbelts save them and someone for example in front of them if you are in the back seat as you may cannonball against them causing an injury to another passenger, or if you are ejected from the car this causing another accident. vaccines are slightly different. And what Numnuts kNights move thinking chose the N word to some out as a comparator? You know my race, that’s just crass and ludicrous and a classic cheap shot - of course I am going to object to it.

I get what you are saying, but personally I feel uncomfortable in making someone do something, which probably in their case is to their detriment as opposed to everyone else? Its the thin edge of a wedge

Taking a completely neutral view this is dangerous territory and an inflammatory statement. People should retain the right to choose what they want as much as possible - much of the world now seems to be going the way of forcing people into a corner and making them do something or a whole myriad of things will be inaccessible to them from work through to entertainment. I am not professing to know all the answers, but, it doesn’t feel quite right the way things are being packaged and it is meandering towards a dictatorship.

Plek happens with no strings present - it’s there to get perfectly level and crowned frets which is more accurate than doing it by hand. The tension will even out across the neck and remember a well set up bass has the E and G string at a slightly different height to the A and D. If it’s something that concerns you you can buy the perfectly balanced string sets, but I have never felt the need to. I have used heavy and extra heavy gauge through to standard gauge on the same sandberg bass and aside from setting it up slightly differently there has never been a problem. A twisting warp will be very very rare indeed as opposed to a bow, especially in a Sandberg for either, but wood is still a cellular entity and once alive so it can happen, it has been reported in even the carbon fibre Status necks. In short - I think you will be fine
