Boss GT6B only needs one pedal to be pressed to be put into true by-pass mode.

Thanks Lads. I think I'll be staying with the DR's. I get them from the States for $24.95 (£12.50) but with the extras you pay they work out a bit more. The only trouble is the last time I orderd them they took nearly a month to arrive.

Sparky why don't you keep what you've got and add another cab. You will only be getting half your amps power through that cab you have, so adding another will make you sound much louder.

WOW, I didn't realise that one business man owns the interlectual property of so many designs. Can you enlighten me?

Going to keep this set up, it sounds amazing using the GT6B to control the front end. Why I never tried it before?

I've just tried plugging my bass into the GT6B and out to the effects return on the back of my ABM Combo, bypassing the controls and just using the power amp. It sounded cleaner, clearer, more powerful, deeper etc. I think I'm in love again.

That's beautiful. How much?

I use DR Hi Beams, they feel great, have a nice even tension across the strings, sound good but cost a packet. I would like to hear peoples opinions about the Pro Steels, as they cost a lot less and get a good write up. Cheers Steve.

I had stuck on a pick holder, replaced the bridge with the chunky one off my old kaman GTX 53 and colured the 'F' in on the knobs with tipp ex, al la our guitarists fender esprit ultra [/quote]Hi gafbass02, which band did you play with at the time of the photo? You look familliar.

I really need to get all of my old Music UK, Making Music, Guitarist mags out of the loft and start looking for all of these old wonders reviews. I'm sure I've got adverts for this bass somewhere. If I can be arsed I'll scan the most interesting adverts (anyone remember Mick Jagger's brothers Staccato Bass?) into the PC and see what everyone thinks.

You two have got far too much spare time on your hands. BTW, do you spank his bottom when he's naughty?

Alex and Robbie, this is one of the most tasteful and and at the same time different looking basses I've ever seen come together. The Q Tuners look perfect with the choice of woods. Superb.

Don't forget the solder sucker, to git rid if the old stuff if need be.
