I'd really like to see someone like steve di Giorgio, Neil Murray, or even someone like lemmy make appearances at the show. Considering the artists we have already seen at the show over the years, there are some real challenges to keep the standard high!!

There won't be sufficient volume from the tuner to drive the headphones. Something like the ehx headphone amplifier would be ideal

Still waiting to try one Irl. If it sounds like the vids, I'll be happy

Looks fantastic mate. Cheers for the pics.

Yes. Total split 4 ways

Pics or it doesn't exist!

Some great points made here. As a full time bass tutor for the past 12 years, I'm shocked at the content of the original post. Walk away from this chap, and find a tutor you can work with. It might take a couple of attempts, but you'll hopefully find someone you ' click with' At that point learning should become fun, and you'll learn real world ways to improve, rather than party piece playing, which to be honest has only a VERY small place in the usable bass world

When I first started learning, I didn't have an amp, so I developed a loud unplugged style, whilst trying to learn iron maiden and whitesnake parts. I'm still a ridiculously heavy hitter!

I've been playing for 28 years, and been earning my living from teaching and playing / recording for 13. Ability wise I see players that I feel are better than myself, but I know that if needed I could reach the required standard fairly quickly for almost any situation.

Well done bluejay- great coverage as ever!

Not had that experience with mxr products- I have a significant number of both their bass and guitar pedals

Congratulations on a great score! Very jealous ! 😉

Like much of the previous album

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the mooer has a switch which selects either modern/vintage (?) Does that then make it a clone of the evh?

I wasn't planning on being there this year, but a friend sorted a guest space for me. The main problem this year for me ws the sheer volume. It was offensive in the extreme. There was supposed to be a 50 minute noisy period, and 45 minute quiet spell. No one except those using headphone rigs took any notice whatsoever. I did get to spend some time with some interesting gear though- mainly pedals ( and through headphones!) The new boss bass driver has some potential, and I don't feel the vids from namm do it justice. The hookers green bass machine sounded great too! I shall be returning to the shop to try these two and some others too, in a more 'friendly' environment. I got to meet stu Hamm and Doug wimbish too

I've played it clean or with a bass fuzz deluxe

I had a hustle drive for a while (the ocd clone). It sounded ok, but lost some low end, which made it a candidate for the the chopping block for me. Ymmv

Highly underrated basses IMO. I have loved both track 2s that I've owned over years

Mooer di is great for the size Has a potentially useful speaker sim too

Love my slow engine. Never fails to put a smile on my face when I use it. I also have the micro di. Not really a pedal, but great nonetheless. The chorus is pretty good, and I also have the blues mood. Not a bad low gainer, but it works best on its own, and does tend to lose a little low end

Sims advertise that they can add LEDs without removing the fretboard

Stickman and gunsFreddy- it certainly looks like you're right. Defo part of the reason I won't be going this year.

My main contention with the last episode was that the chap said that chic's good times, and queens another one bites the dust were the same bass line. For someone that has a good an ear as his- he must be deaf!!!!
