Nice bass and not just as an entry point. Affordable no longer needs to mean 'meh'. The bass I'm using the most right now is another Sire (Z3-5), while other basses that cost up to 4x as much stay at home. A Sire V7 is a very nice bass, they can be a bit heavy in my (limited) experience of that model, but they're nice.

+1 for the Chorbot app, very useful and supereasy to use.

I'm only keeping FB because my main band uses Messenger primarily, and we get a lot of interactions with people and gig info etc through it... but I no longer really use it personally. It's become a really ugly place. The videos kept me going for a bit, it was an easy way to kill a few minutes here and there (as long as you don't go into the comments), but there's some much AI-generated crap... that was the last straw. I seem to have substituted it with Reddit. I found a few subforums that are pretty good.

My Z7-5 was just over 9 lbs and Z3-5 under 9 lbs (I don't recall the exact weight right now)... so fingers crossed Edit: No, the Z7-5 was 8.0 lbs actually, I can't trust my memory 😄 BUt both are light.

You know the island doesn't stop at Hadrian's Wall, right?

The RTA together with the parametric EQ makes it soooo easy to tune out feedback frequencies. That function alone is amazing.

Aha! Indeed, we played a new year's gig there this year. It's funny how a lot of this kind of venues look the same, yet they're distinct enough.
