Oh hi there! BB415 in the house. Needs a solid setup, but it was £200 so that’s ok. Putting La Bella flats on it. I’d be interested in any advice on replacement (preferably direct) bridges and lightweight tuners, any thoughts? Si

It’s simply an exercise in facility, so why not. Fantastic player, has done some of the Scary Pockets vids and is always super musical. Si

Assumed it’s a he? Si

Out of curiosity....why did you buy a 5 string? Si

Don't suppose anyone owns a BB 415 in Orange Metallic? Si

Check out their philanthropic efforts too, they do a lot of good stuff! Si

Well I think it’s telling that it’s all just been issued to the streaming sites now too. Gearing up for the last push I reckon. If they go on tour, see them now people. Been 10 years since I saw them, by all accounts they were excellent at Download! Si

I think most will agree this is probably their last, Maynard is 55 and probably isn’t going to feel like running Tool out again in his 60’s. So I’m appreciating this for everything it is. Hope they do vinyl though! Si

I just always go direct, if you have a decent preamp/interface, in my humble opinion everything else can be done in the box. The only time I'd perhaps caveat that is if you're relying on overdrive from your amp specifically. Si

Haven’t read the whole thread, but here is my advice. - Powered speakers, passive desk - 12” tops seem to work best IMO - 800w per top minimum (headroom is key) - If you want to mic bass drum, get at least one sub Si

Your amp should have a DI out, just plug that into the Mic input of your interface. However if it’s an old Tiny Terror, their DI’s were known to be unusably hot (loud), if it’s one of the newer versions from the relaunch, should be fine. If it’s an older model, sack it off in the studio and record direct, just invest a few quid in a decent amp sim, not a freebie. No-one wants to admit they can’t tell the difference Si

Funny isn’t it, 10,000 Days is the album I listen to most, from start to finish. I pick at most of the other albums. Think it’s incredible! Also, for those who haven’t seen, the Fear Inoculum track (single?) is streaming online now Si

Glad you're sorted If I can be of any help with anything, let me know! Si // Focusrite

I’d probably be playing Cajon on all of them, or hiring a Cajon player (does it need to be a trio?). Generally speaking I don’t enjoy playing bass without percussion, and I think if the guitarist is good enough (playing and tone-shaping), it is enough to carry a gig on its own if needed. Si

Fair enough, but your post reads like it’s fully compatible with Cubase because it’s made by Steinberg, so I was just clarifying Sure, however you obviously need the physical inputs/outputs available in order to made those assignments in your DAW Si // Focusrite

All interfaces will be compatible with Cubase 10 Si // Focusrite

Why do you allow it? Si

Yeah get it repaired, great amps! Si

Nick Beggs, Ariane Cap and Cody Wright have also been announced. Si
