Disappointing new bass day...I would appreciate some opinions.

I have my suspicions too. Headstocks are often (nearly always) the giveaway. I call Skwire -

Hello, it appears that WoT is in the know as to the identity of the builder. -

Chris is a top bloke and a very tasty player. I’ve seen him with Thunder, but mostly I saw him with local legends (when I lived down south), Bad Influence, when I making the jump from the 6 string thing, to the righteous instrument. I count him as an influence because of this timing. He also has a great singing voice too. Very much the complete package - so when I say top bloke, I mean utter, utter bastard . Seriously, those attending are in for a treat. -

Brinsley is ageing well. I had a long conversation with him, years ago, when he was also the amp tech at Chandler’s. A thoroughly nice gent and a mine of information on the workings of amplifiers. Also saw him with GP at the Marquee and Mean Fiddler, back in the late ‘80s; great player.

Just appeared in the FS section…

Valeton’s Tech21 Flyrig ripoff covers the bases (no pun intended): https://www.thomann.co.uk/valeton_dapper_bass_effect_strip.htm?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1581403900&gbraid=0AAAAADuDMCWE-6JzW8zHoZd5QvudOBxdP&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6bfHBhDNARIsAIGsqLisLZEhPjbAD0q4veQXyBqU8otRoWXUvs-KscV4ck-xk0GfIMmmdlkaAkWLEALw_wcB Or the real deal but not on the cheap of course: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/210226367217025--tech-21-bass-fly-rig-v2-multi-effects?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17147278064&gbraid=0AAAAAD76p-0F4n-A_Ckl-voJvrNemZYYW&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6bfHBhDNARIsAIGsqLifpUd8rU6NafbgzXxb2oNHoenstMCx1btGLB31FSdSMblAcQXsROEaAjfUEALw_wcB

Something very similar currently on the FS section

Been there, done that, tone, volumes, D Tuners. Rite of passage that never seems to end. My best one was a guitar gig, where my lead had snaked itself through a pedal’s controls. I walked around a bit and suddenly had no sound, took me a while to fine that said cable had rolled the input gain to zero.

Sweet, a nice solution you have there and it plainly works for you and your band. There’s certainly precedent for this, IIRC Robben Ford’s own, signature Fender was wired directly from the pickup selector to the jack output, he controlled volume and tone from his pedalboard. Not for everyone, but it’s an elegant solution, removing unwanted capacitance, etc from the signal path.

That’s like saying no one should have a graphic or parametric pedal, or indeed an active EQ bass, they should buy the right amp for that bass/basses. I don’t need, or want, a different amp, I like what mine does and if I want to enhance it to my tastes, then that’s my choice, plus I’ve had it longer than all my current basses and I wasn’t going to buy a new amp with every new bass I’ve acquired over the years. YMMV of course and you’re free to buy as many amps you think are right for your basses.

She’s popped up on my YT feed a fair bit recently. Great player, who, to my ears, has a real Vinnie Colaiuta vibe to her technique and sound. She’s also played with Jeff Beck and Lari Basilio, both of whom have used Vinnie in the past, so perhaps it’s not just me. It’ll be interesting to hear what she brings to the table with Rush, outside of those essential, Peart fills. I reckon it’ll be great.
