As a quick aside: according to the Chart Music TOTP podcast, the one glove was to hide the badly stained hand he'd acquired as a result of a hasty decision to apply jet black hair dye the day before a TOTP recording. How true this is, I couldn't say, but the CM folks are usually very good with their research.

Yes! Rear facings that are just as ridiculously figured as the front. Fantastic! 🫡

The body shape may not be my cup of tea, but everything else about it is ace! Congratulations So if you just go mono with a single lead, does the bass "sense" this and send an aggregate output of both pickups blended, like a normal bass config?

Had a phone call from BD today. Not long now

Recording at home? So it doesn't have to be real-time, then? If that's the case, record the 'guitar' part on your bass, convert that audio to midi using your DAW, and then use a Kontakt library - e.g. one of the Impact Soundworks' excellent Shreddage series - to trigger real guitar samples. It does seem like a bit of a faff, though, compared to getting hold of an actual guitar and recording that! EDIT: Shreddage also allows power chords and tremolo picking to be triggered from one note, which may be useful depending on the genre you're after.

$66 for shipping 3 of the blighters. I bailed at that point. Shame

I've also just bought a pedal from @green3101 and can confirm that buying from him is pretty much a perfect experience. It was exactly as described, in mint condition, he was quick to reply, and it was posted/delivered next day. No hesitation here: big recommendation. Many thanks

Hidden deep within the ToS, eh? Right next to the sign that says "Vorsicht vor dem Leoparden!"? 😉 I think I'll pass. Me and German online retailers aren't getting on at the moment. Anyway, it's moot - they don't have what I want. Ta once again, however

Thanks but that site feels dodgy AF. Not secure, no shop/contact address... big fat nope. If the bass was a Squier or something, then yeah, maybe... but it's a £2k+ Marusczyzk. I'm feeling guilty just typing the words "Jamming" and "Ring-pull can" while in the same room as it. Full Macgyver points, though, fair play. I'd definitely want to be locked in an outbuilding by goons with you

Me: "Aww...." The embodiment of my post-christmas financial situation: "Yay!"

Just to clarify: that's from me just looking at their site; I have no other knowledge. The last mention of these from BD was in one of their newsletters, mentioning "in the New Year", as I recall.

Looks like BD have just had a fresh Dingwall delivery. So either the JT Rios were part of this delivery and some of us are about to get notified... or we're talking another couple of months until the next delivery.

That's also an option, I suppose. Not much of a maker, but in the immortal words: how hard could it be? Actually, giving it a moment's thought: I'd need to account for the side-mounted screw fixing system, for one thing. Yeah, it's already getting beyond my skill/effort/reward equation
