I reckon the balance will be off kilter with all of the weight South of the strap button and it's likely the headstock will whack you in the face if you're not careful. (Mind you, if you buy that, you'll probably deserve it!)

Nowt wrong with a good old bit of Araldite!

Oh no - they replaced the pickups!

Well, it was put there as a whack-a-mole prevention aid because there was a spate of "You're going to laugh at this...!" threads featuring that picture, which got rather tiresome. Maybe it's served its purpose and it'd be an idea to remove it; however, I'm sure it wouldn't be long before someone re-discovers that very same never-seen-before picture for our collective joyousness... (My guess is 3 weeks, or less if someone does it as a wind-up.)

I was chatting with David Konig at the Brizzle guitar show last weekend; great bloke!

That should be an adventure in tuning.

Sort of Warwick-ish...

Fab - I guess they've resumed.

I think it'll be a 4U case - I'd be quite partial to an SWR in there too. Curse you - now you've got me thinking about a Trace Elliot as well as an SWR !!! 🙂

Ah yes... I remember working in a data centre where one computer company had installed one of their machines so its airflow fed directly into the inputs of a competitor's model; whoever signed that off didn't quite get the concept of hot and cold alleys.

Cheers - I might take a look. I have to say that my brand-o-meter would tend to lead me towards Crown, as that was the brand back in the day. I'd be looking for A 1U unit of possible. Thanks - I'll be prepared to be disappointed on that one! I've got a Black Line 250 and an EVO.

So, my Ampeg SVP arrived today (2nd attempt at getting one after stumbling over the deal here, but then this one came up on ebay). Now I've got to figure out what to plug it into - it might be the Fx return of a Markbass for the moment. I'll probably want a 2-channel 1U power amp to fit in a rack with the SVP (and maybe a 2nd SVP if/when, to run my Ric stereo). It'll be interesting comparing it with my other Markbass's modelling capabilities.

Giant heel. I'd ditch the bridge and put a Schaller 3D on it - that's what they use on the 4004.

Maybe winklepickers would work.

Won't work if you've got shoes on.

Are they still not doing custom work?

I'm just in the process of configuring a Morningstar MC6 with my C4; it is a bit techy, though...

I think it's for preparing canned songs rather than tweaking on-stage. However, these small pedals are evidently going to need supplementary switcher pedals to avoid you having to do some bizarre multi-footswitch hokey-kokey mid-song on stage. It's the same with the HX Stomp; it's nigh-on impossible without an up/down switcher. The downside is that you have to prepare in advance. The upside in using a computer is that you have a backup of your settings, rather than having to twiddle knobs manually; if you look at MiniMoog players, they often have two of them, because they need two different sounds dialed in ready to go.

I've got to program a counter in the MC6 to keep track of which patch number it's on. I'd also like to display that number on button press.

Very Dali-esque…

Laptop, power supply, mouse, any combination of: USB to C4, USB to Neuro Hub, USB to MC6. Powered from different plugboards off the same mains socket.

Well, I finally set aside some quality time with the C4/MC6/Neuro Hub and it's just about working. The components are now on the current firmware and I have the MC6 doing program up/down on the C4. I had to add a MIDI map config on the C4 to receive program up/down (I chose 88 & 89) and then assign them to button presses on the MC6. The real benefit will be when I program specific patch numbers for songs/sounds on the C4 into the MC6. One thing I did find is that the multi-pedal setup doesn't like a PC plugged in and has interference and weirdness going on; probably due to an earth loop.

Haha - that got a genuine LOL from me! 🙂

Who is Squire Matt Freeman?
