Random use of Theory words "when I play out of tune I was modulating"

that's the bananas talking great job with the bass

yep , certainly the Diamond Bass Comp can be

yeah , it's a thing , the branding of the strap has to match the instrument silly I know but there you go It doesn't matter if the Strap is made by a non-instrument maker however

1 year since I got my Warwick Fortress Flashback 5 - it is a very well made instrument - I like it a lot more than I though I would - it is a top bass guitar for trying out pedals - replacing the nut was a good idea by the luthier I use - it's a heavy instrument but balance well standing , I just need a way better strap - strap lock So overall quite happy with this

it gets marks for looks , name , etc cosmetic style I buy that without hearing possibly

so spent a lot of time with this pedal the last 6 weeks used it with 7 different basses and it's interesting the chorus is good but not great I was surprised by how much I like the reverb ( reverb seems counterintuitive for bass) the para eq is very good , the business, very well thought through thanks to @Hellzero to have a go at it they should have called it something other than the Fretless maybe I see these are pricy but worth a go if you can try before buy FKT also make an Octaver Pedal which looks mean

the really unhelpful answer is : Free The Tone Bass Blaster but yeah it's the shit

My old February 1998 Klystron never distorts but can get a little o/d relative to input level and “valve drive”

I've found driving the bass end low hz pumps the red line needle

agree re: Ashdown I still flog my 98 Klystrom head but the CTM-300 truly is the business

Great fun tonight Warwick Flashback 5 with Diamond Compressor and FKT Audio parametric EQ I like it

enjoy the new pedals !

Ashdown CTM-300 is the best amplifier I have owned Thinking about the 400 BTA as well

I've never played a JV Squire and only played one "Fullerton" reissue - that was a very nice bass. Considerably better than some late 70's Jazzes I have had a go on with construction / quality standards

there was some talk 24 months ago of Gibson relaunching graphite Steinberger with Ned involved the reason always given for why no more graphite Steinberger's was cost cost cost the second hand , or used, market reflects this - everything I see for L2 or XL-2 is serious coin. It might not be possible for Steve to "price" into this market

Best of luck Steve. Hope it goes well

this needs a tidy up but sort of getting there the Vitoos PSU was a great buy , the Walrus Tuner is good and the Free The Tone pedals really are the business

A lot of EQ options here - trying this FKT Audio pedal with different basses

it took me a touch over 3 years to find an unlined 2EQ Stingray Fretless - managed to secure one March 2021 it was $2400 NZD + 1070 UK Pounds
