I couldn't get the USB download to work. Might try it again.

I did yeah. It was the first thing the software asked me to do. I'm assuming that once you've downloaded the toneprint and sent it to the pedal via Smartphone your sound changes automatically?

Yep, switch in the middle.

Has anyone tried to toneprint onto their TC pedals? I ran through the process with my Vortex flanger, and tried to toneprint the Mark King Sweet m***er toneprint, the pedal flashed as it should, all looked good, but the pedal din't sound any different. I then tried it with the Janek Gwizdala Family Of Rats toneprint, same again, didn't sound any different. Any suggestions?

Which song includes [i]THE[/i] bass sound that you love the most? I've got loads of favourites: You Are The Universe - Brand New Heavies Don't Give Hate a Chance - Jamiroquai Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick - The Blockheads Lovegames - Level 42 5 Minutes - The Stranglers 3 Deuces - Marcus Miller [i]Anything[/i] Geddy Lee plays etc etc, but if I could nail [i]one[/i] tone it would be the one Meshell Ndegeocello gets on "If That's Your Boyfriend" If you haven't heard it? Youtube it right now, I defy anyone to dislike it.

My fiesta red RW Jazz is the best Jazz I've had my hands on, and I've had my hands on a few. It's light, sounds amazing, plays itself and to me it looks very cool too. The Stingray and the Precision didn't get a look in on Saturday, and the band were in full agreement. That said, I tried a sunburst one on Monday, in a shop, and it wasn't as instantly comfy as mine. Maybe a setup would've helped it, or maybe I just got a good one. Don't know.

I'm with Pete on this one, Marcus can do no wrong for me, horses for courses I guess, but I love his tone, dynamics, technique, everything. Sometimes the "lead" bass playing can wear a little thin, I prefer it when he's in a groove with the band, but otherwise, I too am a big fan. Looking forward to the Ritz in Manchester in May.

I use a Mono strap. It's very comfortable and I prefer it to the Comfort Strap I also have but never use. To be honest, I also have a couple of wide and long Levys straps, the car seatbelt type ones, and because they're wide, they're very comfortable indeed.

I bought my [i]FABULOUS [/i]Fender Roadworn Jazz from Kevin. He was an utter gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended. Russ.

Dave [i]had [/i]been using an Epiphone Explorer in Eliminator, and I doubt very much he'd fork out for one of these, in fact I [i]know[/i] he wouldn't in a month of Sundays. I like the bass myself, simple, functional, and dare I say it, stylish, I think it looks great. Waaaaayyyy too much though.

Last night........ [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/russjm/millstone1.jpg[/IMG] That's the effect I have on women when I play.............

Pleasure and the Beast were some kind of porn show kind of thing from memory?? Crap music I seem to remember though.

Was it '83?? blimey, I feel even older. I spilt chips and gravy all over the Poison Girls who weren't impressed. I was so very very drunk....I spent half the day asleep on the floor. I remember The Three Johns, they were maybe my favourite, along with Play Dead and The Death Cult as they were back then. Action Pact....god yes, with the girl singer, I liked them too, but I don't remember seeing New Model Army???

I was their biggest fan in the 80s, saw them plenty of times, the Hacienda in Manchester stands out as one of the best from memory. I haven't seen them since The Futurama Festival in Leeds in '86, totally lost touch with the new stuff. Any good?

Old Millstone, Macclesfield last night, Ship Inn next Saturday. Last night was a cracker. It was one of those gigs that didn't hold out much hope at first, with only a handful of people in, it was looking bleak when we started, but an hour and a half later the place was rocking. We played well, nice balanced sound which crept up in volume as we went on of course, but hey ho, it's rock'n'roll in it?
