    Zoom MS60-B

    Picked one of these up for next to now't a while ago and haven't got round to trying it out yet. My current live FX thingy is a Line 6 Pod XT Live, which works fine for what I want but it's frankly complete overkill given that I currently use only 4 effects/settings: octave, chorus, B-15 sim (for old-skool) and SVT sim (for grittier stuff). The XT does a good job of the sims, but the chorus isn't brilliant and the octave sucks TBH. My question is, are these four things available on the MS60-B, and are they good? Is its octave setting as good as an actual OC-2, for example? It'd be great if I could whittle my board down to just the Zoom, a volume pedal and a tuner, but should I consider using a separate octave pedal too? And will I need a degree in order to figure out how the Zoom works?

  10. Good call, but I've still got half a mile of the reflective stuff left
  11. Pictures at an Exhibition - Mussorgsky
  12. Now strung with Black Beauties, as suggested by @invertigo. I definitely think I'm going to try some white control knobs. So pleased with how this has turned out..! Thanks to @dave_bass5 and @Maude for your help, and to everyone who's not sick and tired of seeing the bloody thing by now
  13. Theme from The Man With The Golden Arm - Jet Harris (ooh look, a bassist!)

  15. DR Black Beauties have arrived and are now on the SkaJazz. OHMYGODTHEYLOOKAMAZING. Pics later. 😎

    As an aside... superb service from Lord Of The Strings. I'll definitely be using them again.

  18. Oh my good god, that I do like. Very very muchly. epically cool. Definitely keeping an eye on that.
  19. Oh the poor thing. I can hear its cries of pain from here. Somebody please give it some TLC. The electrics are like hens' teeth and yes the knobs are a ridiculous price. I've given up looking for some for mine, pretty much resigned to the fact that it'll never be a proper restoration. That'd be the best course of action for this one too.

  21. I suspect gigs might be a little thinner on the ground out here in the sticks. That notwithstanding, it's not for want of trying that we are unable to find suitable dates, although it doesn't help when one of your band members is at-risk themselves and another has a wife who is. We haven't just been sitting on our thumbs waiting for them to drift in -- our gig-getting members are experienced enough in this lark to know how to go about working with suitable venues. They just aren't there.
  22. This Flight Tonight - Nazareth
  23. They might as well ban live performances though. "Landlords and managers must take 'all reasonable measures' to stop singing on their premises by customers in groups of more than six, and dancing by anyone." No dancing? No point.

  25. It's a bit far inland, but I could bring a paddling pool..?
