I’ve ordered a Lekato - about £45. Worth a chuckle at that price!

Interesting, @Cat Burrito- good point about cost of these vs cables. I guess if you’re happy to tour them then they’re good enough for me in the local spit and sawdust! At that price I think I’ll get some… if nothing else, be easier to walk and play whilst soundchecking - currently only manage 15’ in front of the PA when I’m mixing coz that’s when the cable runs out!

Solid choice of comp and octaves there too. C4 does good octave but boss does really good octave. Also, the finish on the BC-1X. When I finally get the money for a custom bass, that’s in the running for paint job!

Love the purple lighting wash!!

It’s amazing!!!

This actually made me snort beer through my nose, nearly drown and then cough a lung up. Utterly superb work, that bass player. Carry on.

And depending on your bridge, you may need to file the string hole (technical term!) to accommodate the thicker string. Wee round needle file job.

Excellent write up, spot on. That’s another big plus with the Peterson… it’s GREAT for setting intonation, whether you fret or harmonic to set it

A Boss TU-2 or 3 is a solid choice. Buffers you on the way in and the DC outlet is handy too. Plenty tuning options and they stay set when you’ve set them. The WazaCraft version if you’re buffer adverse for any reason. That said the Peterson StroboStomp HD has to be the epitome of floor tuners. Bright, more tuning modes than you’ll ever need, your choice of buffered, bypass or always on, DC power outlet. I only have a couple of presets in (standard and dropped) but if you or anyone in the house plays anything stringed, this is the fella to get.

My advice: buy a good solderless patch cable kit sooner rather than later. Off the shelf ones will not fit at some point.

This is SO well thought out. Hats off, here. Superb work in rinsing the available space there. Patchbay with TRS for midi and/or audio is genius! Can’t imagine a world without Morningstar products… I love my MC6

That’s compact! Excellent work. And the GigRig range is superb… a second hand isolator saved me buying a new PSU given my current one has two 500mA outs

Nah, s’gotta be a 50/50 split for me. It’s got to be enjoyable or I’ll sell the gear and stay at home!

Greyhound in Sutton Bridge tonight with 4 Play. See, there’s four people in the band and we play music. Clever! (Not my idea it was like that when I got here nothing to do with me officer). Starting to gel nicely. Now need to work on removing the drummer from BVs and getting guitarist to leave more of them to me. And need to sort his pedal board. About 3 drive pedals, badly chosen delay settings, and a mix of digital and analogue on a non-isolated PSU. Ground hum, anyone? Very Fen, but the crowd were up for it, good sound, we played well! Nothing til 22 October now sadly. ALL FINGER AND WRIST PARTS SURVIVED WITHOUT INCIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. HALLE fudging LUJAH 😁

If the 160 approach is for you, then the Keeley’s got to be in the running. Silent and tone neutral. For me, I want to compress cleanly, and I want the pedal to sort attack and release for me. Keeley does that brilliantly.

It’s mental is it?! And SUCH a diff compared to equivalent rounds. I was toying with the Dunlop flats on my last purchase til I clocked the price!

Bloody hell! Good work fella. That’s some serious playing time. 3 1/2 hours on Saturday left me unable to use my middle finger right hand until today!

Lol. I had to cut While My Guitar short on Saturday coz if I didn’t go RIGHT THEN I’d be ringing the wife for emergency trousers. At my age: always go just before you start playing. Or leave the house. Or leave anywhere that has a toilet. And don’t forget to put your ear plugs in and take your wrist supports off. Rock n Roll!!

Green Dragon at Ryhall near Stamford tonight. No keys tonight. Played really well, I got an EXCELLENT stage and foh mix and the landlord was delighted. Paid, fed and watered. 30 min drive. Long though: arrived 15:30 left 23:30. We’re their resident band now. Lots of dancing and singing along. Excellent night! Fingertips aced it for once. Restrung dimension sounded smashing. Bad right middle finger joint pain for the first time. Like, really bad. Don’t recall bashing it - sadly suspect this is the beginning of arthritis forcing use of pick more…

Ah! Always interesting finding out which BC users have had yer bass before you! I got both of these from @Fettsman. These two aren’t going anywhere, ever. Love them!
