I bet she does not get 66% of the fee. But she makes a really good rhythm section. I am thinking of doing something similar in Church but using piezo triggers into our electric kit. I have been considering it for a few years now. No rush.

Possibly a guy called Chris Winter who seemed to drop into the gap Pino left when he moved on from Cardiff.

We shall agree to differ

With Pino. Fabulous!

That will be a no.

If they were available through Amazon I would probably have bought one already. I love the option to return.

Fraid not. I strung a dinged one BEAD today and we shall see.

Realer is more of a word than my progress

I cannot document what I have. What would happen if my wife saw them together?

I have more basses than I need. I have two 4 strings that I NEVER play in anger, both nitro paint and well beaten up. But the pleasure I get from picking them up and noodling while not having to worry about donking the chair or desk or belt or whatever is a thing of joy. The 5 strings I use are all "newer" and posh and I really miss not having to worry about donking them. It almost makes me want to string one up BEAD and dump the rest. Proper 1st world problems.

As an aside, nice pointing work on that wall.

I am wobbling on the edge here...........

Sadness. The Boss pedal dose sustain remarkably well, but the FI leaves the rest of it behind.

We live in the golden age of lutherie.

Any idea when the sustain function will happen?

I fired it up and messed with it. The polyphonic nature of it makes it quite forgiving of sloppy playing. It tracks well all the way to bottom. The arpeggiator is lots of fun, but with no tap tempo option I cannot see how I can use it in the real world. I had hoped that aspect would replace my Boss Slicer. It wont. There is a movable filter doobrie on it but that is universal so if it is set for one sound it is set for everything so that is not so great. The sounds are fine. The sustain pedal function is the bomb. The lack of tweakability which is programmable means it is not for me.

My Church used to meet in a school. I was not down to play bass that morning. The bassist could not make it. I had to step in. I raided the music room and picked up the only bass there. Plywood. Tuned the G with pliers cos the machine head was not there. It was ....... not what we all hope for. It made that bass sound and no one even noticed that I did not bring any of my basses which have cost at least 10 times as much.
