Played both Fantastic basses with their own flavours but pure quality

No worries - often when is middle aged blokes batter out Achilles’ tendons trying to do young people exercises as well as an eccentric loading force ya being dehydrated has a massive influence

Tendons have no or little inherent real blood supply and rely on diffusion of nutrients from the surrounding tissue, hence if properly hydrated it allows them to behave

Liked that

There are fingerless arthritis type gloves like you see Scott lessons what’s his name uses - may be worth a cheeky investment

Lots of work out there on CBD as well on athletes and how after using it there anti inflammatory and pain killing medicine use decreased Good luck with it all

No doubt Calcium and Magnesium for bone, we are often Vit D deficient due to mainly being indoors, but be careful with too much Vit D supplementation, it can bring out Calcium problems. The pathogenesis of arthritis is that of inflammation, hence turmeric and CBD, once you have worn down the cartilage etc and getting bone pain, it’s quite advanced, but nothing wrong in keeping all things strong

May be worthwhile keeping them warm after with some form of gloves, compression ones or regular when you sleep - also look into adding turmeric into your diet or supplements for anti inflammatory properties and don’t discount CBD products - they have been working well with arthritis patients

Schecter Baron H or dug pinnick sig bass

You can get impressions of your ears and then get the drivers mounted into those I think LUGS may do this

Orange brown...... Mainly brown....

Well the brown bass needed something to cover that colour up...

I can’t get a semi anymore.....

He is uber cool

Yep My Solid Body ASAT has one in made by the designer, semi hollow one I didn’t bother, the dive never bothered me, and I didn’t use it on either bases

Not many 5 string ASATs made and mainly prototypes, although weirdly I think most are in Europe If I remember right the bassist from Skunk Anansie had one and they are reported to be very neck heavy

Logic x and GB are pretty much the same so yeah sounds like you can do that. On song can be linked between devices so you are covered and can tinker on your phone etc. I have only scratched the surface but it will also do key changes etc for you

I cannot promise to make it up to you! Honestly it will be the nuts I think - it’s very expensive, but I think sits itself deliberately as not a competitor to the stomp. If you look at it plus an FC6 controller (if you need that many buttons) it’s actually not far in price from a full fat Helix or Kemper floor unit and it comes loaded with the Axe FX3 software like the rackmount - with waaaaaaaaaaaay more blocks to play with.

Easiest thing for drums to trigger is probably a beat buddy mini and you can pop fills etc in it. So far as scrolling lyrics for free there is a function on the iPad to scroll a pages document and set a time for it, or pop the lyrics into a keynote presentation and again set a timer for the slides to change. If you want to pay about £30 then On Song is a great app for organising set lists and importing lyrics annotating changes, key changes etc and all kinds of things and will also scroll and link to timings from the actual songs. You could probably have a couple of iPads and load the drum racks into Garageband. Can the other person/people trigger one thing whilst you do another? Its a lot to do all together for one!

@Jack nah I get you on all that and never thought you were dissing the PSA (I have no vested interest!) and I don’t think it’s derailing the thread at all - just expanding a discussion on nuances of both. Its a difficult price point I agree and it may come down after the initial rush, as you say the stomp may do it well enough as well as other things, but the fly rig format really is brilliant in size and construction, it’s splitting hairs on excellent products. Dont get me started on possibly spending more and getting a Fractal FM3.....

By the same token conceding that the stomp has a balanced out, the PSA has a universal out that can go straight to a desk although you have to be mindful of the gain stage at the desk on its output - just as the Stomp is expensive but good - the PSA has 50 amp presets that are standard, cloned them 50 times to save as per your tweaks and then left a load of blank spaces to save your own presets of these combinations (if I have it right) with easy switching and easy recall for 3 commonly used presets in something the size of a pencil case. Thats pretty impressive engineering

That’s actually not that bad for what you get from it and it’s myriad of applications as well as small footprint.

If you are doing both guitar and bass gigs and you like Tech21 then maybe just maybe the PSA 2.0 could be your thing. Origin Effects will release probably in the next year a bass drive like their revival for Guitars - no word on functionality yet as in if it will have a compressor/tuner/DI out - if they were smart they would include it
