This is the 60th anniversary 60s Jazz Bass isn't it? 62 pickups, U shaped neck etc? You should at least have a limited edition embroidered hardcase and certificate with it. If you paid full or near retail price I'd drop a note to Fender Customer Services asking them what extras it's supposed to have....

I've got the 210 extension too. It's a bit of a beast of a rig for 4 10" speakers and bit OTT for a lot of gigs but outdoor they're perfect. Only thing id say is that I think the 15" cab is a different size - the 210 stacks better.

Hmmm, ok I'll have a check of mine but you've thought o everything I would have checked! I agree it's unusual as these are dead silent normally. Did you get a chance to talk to the DG boys?

So the only way you've been able to test it is with headphones? Have you go the cab sim engaged? Have you plugged it in to the Darkglass suite and updated the firmware?

Brilliant thanks for that!

side question to @Reggaebass - any idea what this was exactly? I need a CAR touch up! thanks

D'addario D strings are black normally, Fender's are nickel.

You know my answer!

Did a full three set proper gig outdoor last Saturday. I mentioned elsewhere the pub had really sorted itself out, with roped off areas for each group prebooked, no walk-ins, table service for food and drink, security and one way systems in and out and toilets etc. We had a good deal of space given to us so we could socially distance between us. We hadn’t played since mid March so we were a bit rusty but it all came together. Chose the more straightforward songs from our list of songs. Load in, setup, take down all pretty much normal, but again, the pub had really prepared well for us. it was great to play again, albeit it very strange as the audience numbers were there but the feedback you’d normally get from those numbers wasn’t.

I'm the other way round. I bought the OriginAL (Norman version) and now am looking to buy a RM800...! It's a balance between input gain and output level. The output seems to act as an attenuator rather than volume, so fully clockwise is unity, if I have input at 9 o'clock. Probably worth a discussion thread on this pedal rather than hijack the pedalboard thread,

Possibly - depending on how venues/we interpret the next lot of ambiguous guidelines!!

..and in that time recorded two guitar parts that fitted in really nicely without being too ostentatious. I liked the lead part at the end.

That'll be a nice gig to get - lovely people there.

No, that was supposed to be on 4th but they decided not to go ahead. This was in Yaxley..

were you there? In your little roped off area?

There is a significant amount of ambiguity in the 'guidelines', Non-professionals (meaning those participating in performing arts other than for work purposes), or groups which include non-professionals, may refer to this guidance for their activities, but must at all times do so in line with government legislation and guidance on meeting people outside your household. So is getting paid by a venue classed as work? Can you still perform outdoors if you do it in line with "government legislation and guidance on meeting people outside your household" ?

The venue we were at had masked up security patrolling the pens to enforce compliance.

We played an outdoor gig on Saturday. It was good to play but the audience was split out in to roped off pens with table and chairs that each group had to stay in - their food and drink was brought to them. They had to prebook their pen. They could dance within their own little area but it was quite strange.

Which bit are you referring to for this?

It's a Surface Pro so not the ideal laptop for this sort of thing I would imagine - it has a very specific supply and a magnetic latching connector. Yes I was using XLR-XLR. This is clearly an obvious answer, one I did not even try and now that I have, it works perfectly!! I'll explore the ground lift adaptor too as I reckon that's maybe what @owen was suggesting.

I have a few preamp/DI stomp box things that are powered with anything from 9v to 18v chargers. I have two USB interfaces connected to a PC, not both at the same time. (a Focurite Scarlett 2i2 and a Presonus Audiobox). If I use the DI out from the preamp in to either interface there's a earth buzz. After a process of elimination I have found that this earth buzz goes away when I disconnect the laptop power and have it running on battery only. Any ideas why this might be and whether it can be resolved? thanks Steve

Basically, what @Osiris said, he nailed it. I do wish it had a headphone/aux though. There's a neat touch that reverses the OD/Compressor path that can change the OD flavour a bit and you can also turn off the LEDs if they're too bright. You can alos select what gets output by the DI. I really like the EQ section though - it is very similar to the Rumble heads.

It was more rounded, warmer, less sterile both in the FOH but more so in my ears. I’m not overly critical or sensitive normally but I did switch the sim out and then back in and it was really noticeable. The only reason I used it in the first place was out of curiosity after loading in the IRs over lockdown. It was a 3 Sigma Ampeg 810 I think.
