Like synesthesia?

I can't even lift one, let alone get it airborne.

Mod Cores (and the Digitech for that matter) are digital pedals - they can be really picky about power supplies and positioning. They are amazing pedals for the money though.

It looks like each letter has a colour associated with it - A minor and A Major are both yellow. Not sure why that is, as they contain different notes. Looks good though

The term 'Standards' does indeed reference a number of popular songs - mostly in Jazz (I Got Rhythm, Stella By Starlight etc...) that musicians are expected to know. As different genres of music get older and more established then they start to create their own list of 'standards' e.g. a few weeks ago I was at a jam night that featured a lot of Metal players - it was expected that I could play x bt Metallica, and y by Ozzy Osborne etc... They just tend to be the most popular tunes to play within a given style.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1401290012' post='2462102'] Trouble with the early SM400's... the bass control really put the boom in there in the first place. Not usable notched beyond 12 o'clock really... but the template of those amps still dominate the thinking of todays' amp with the enhance control... The addition of the semi par 4 band make is a very capable tone shaping amp, IMO. [/quote] I found that, so I modded it to remove the Aural Enhance 'scoop'. When it runs with the EQ flat it really *is* flat!

I've just wasted 10 minutes reading this thread! If I'd picked up a bass instead I could have played 3 and a half songs poorly in the same time. Sheesh!

Edge wouldn't be my first choice to spearhead guitar design, but it should make for some AWESOME effects pedals...

Nice. I [i]love[/i] my modcore

My Sm400 stays flat the vast majority of the time, occasionally I need to cut the boom out, but it's easily done with the para/graphic setup on board.

Nice looking bass, not sure I'd drop 3k on it though.

I broke a string before christmas at rehearsal, but that turned out to be a problem with the bridge, once I'd got that sorted everything's been ticket-boo. I don't take a backup bass, amp or cab. Down that route madness lies... I've got a bass lead with an XLR plug on the other end though - the absolute worst case scenario is that I go through the 'snake' to the PA directly. Worse things happen at sea. Also I really look after my kit.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1400967456' post='2458758'] It's the only option, really... [/quote] Option? I thought it was mandatory.

The D'Addario half rounds worked for me when I played a 5. http://www.daddario.com/DADProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=3769&productid=178&productname=ENR71_5_Half_Rounds_5_String_Bass__Regular_Light__45_130__Long_Scale lots of folks on here swear by the Status Hotwires though.

That's a beauty - I genuinely hope you're happy with it. Just remember - "Fortune favours the broke".
