I used to have an SVP-PRO. I wish I still did 😢

Are you running this on batteries? With Boss (and most other pedals) the jack is a switching jack, whereby the battery is disconnected unless a jack is plugged into the input - could be that the sound is the power being cut. I know it’s not supposed to mute the signal when switched on, but these are buffered bypass, so the there’ll still be power in the bypass circuit.

When people talk about ‘feel’ it always reminds me of that time that Chuck Berry schooled Keef at rehearsals…

Might have more luck selling this closer to 5th November... Call me crazy, but I thought one of the advantages of a sloping board is that the PSU can be mounted underneath the pedals, and also shoving all of the cables underneath makes it look altogether tidier and more appealing.

I don’t think we’re looking at an Ivor Novello here, are we?

I had one of these as my first 5 string, way back in the early 90s. Loved it, but I kept sliding off the end of the neck; turns out I do NOT do well with headless basses.

Not in front of a festival crowd though...

I turned my 2x10 into a 1x12 plus tweeter. Turned out nice again.

yes, to more gigs where the bassist has a 2x15"!

Not as well as Charlie Watts could though.

Agreed - look at Steely Dan (runs for cover!)

I wish I hadn't heard how much they cost, which is ironic really.

That’s only 88 keys, a piano has 3 strings per key… 🤯

Chuck Norris plays 5 string bass - on a 4 string bass.

Yeppers - this.

I use the zoom ms60b for my chorus sound (among many others) even though I have a hand built analogue chorus (small clone clone) in my stash - there’s very little difference between the two to be honest, and the zoom takes up less space on my board and does more.

Pearl’s a singer -Marc Almond

Yeppers, black Jazzes with maple neck and black blocks and binding are a thing of beauty.

Wish Away - Stourbridge’s finest The Wonderstuff.

Will keep my eyes peeled dude. 😢

Polytown by David Torn, Mick Karn and Terry Bozio. I think I discovered this album through this very thread.

Cemetery Gates - Pantera \m/

If all else fails then the zoom ms60b has some great synth options - the filters on there are great too!

I did the whole tribute act thing in my 20s - it was hard work, but great fun. 'Twas a Queen act, aided massively by our singer looking (and sounding) uncannily like Freddie, and our drummer having the same hair as Prof. Brian May. As the bassist I wore shorts and a T-shirt, a la Wembley '86, but TBF, all of the attention is on Freddie, so it really didn't matter what we looked like. I think if the band has an iconic look (Angus, Freddie, Lemmy etc...) then I think it's only fair that you try to emulate that, but the sound has to come first.
