    My 2022 Walnut 4003 weighs 3.8kg. I’d have thought that’s on the lightish side for an (almost) long scale bass.

    The walnut bodied ones are the way to go if you prefer a lightweight bass. The maple ones, however, often drift into boat anchor territory, much like my old 4003s. If only I hadn’t been seduced by the Fireglo finish, I might still be a Ric owner. :facepalm:

    I’ve watched lots of videos on the olinto flats as I was looking for some and the P basses look really great, but you don’t see them for sale very often, is it the price do you think or the availability 

    Probably a bit of both, coupled with a lot of buyers not knowing much about them.

    It does the opposite for me - a wonderful joyous record, that was so important for being the first 

    time many people in the UK were aware of ska/bluebeat. Great feel, I love it. 

    It’s a connection between this and a childhood memory that causes the problem. The Ska thing is great.

    Christmas songs. Every single one.

    I can see where you are coming from. There is often a certain production value that piles on the schmaltz. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised when I first heard Tim Minchin’s White Wine in the Sun, some interesting lyrics.

     

    My Boy Lollipop makes my skin crawl. Normally, it’s the artists performing a song that raises my ire, not the song in itself. It’s entire catalogues that are ruined because of the performer for me.

    With my current band, I use either my Squier P or Mustang JMJ. The sound works perfectly and the look fits. This means that my Elwood doesn’t get played that much at the moment. However, today, I was just running through the set list for a gig on Friday, to blow away cobwebs and reacquaint myself with the 3 sets (it’s been a while) and, as it’s just me at home, I thought I’d use the Elwood for a change. What a sound, fits right in without any flabbiness. Then I remember that the Delanos, although looking like single coils, are in fact mini split coils. I’d completely forgotten that and I effectively have a very lightweight J shaped, double P. :facepalm:
     

    I might take it along on Friday, despite the flame maple top. Outside of the band, I’m not sure anyone else would notice that it’s not on point visually.

    Noob help with pedal order

    in Effects

    Posted · Edited by ezbass

    I tend to put my octave box before any effect (not including tuner) so that it gets a clean signal to help with its tracking. However, pedals react differently and experimentation to find what suits you set up best is the way to go, as @uk_lefty says.

     

    With regard to fx loops, I’ve never bothered them and stuck everything in front of the amp (this probably come from having amps without loops previously), it certainly cuts down on the cable spaghetti. However, as always, YMMV.

     

    Ooh, nearly forgot :crigon_04:
