Is it a true bypass strap though, I’m not certain.

Looks like the pedal is on all the way through the video, just with everything set to noon, so the pedal might be altering the tone, even though it’s set to ‘neutral’. Most folks put a drop of compression on their audio tracks before uploading too, then of course there’s the YouTube compression, so without a list of exactly what equipment and plugins they used we’ll never know. I suppose we’ll all just have to keep buying and trading kit to find THAT tone. shame. 😄

I thought One Hot Minute was good…

Yes, if they’d been a bit more selective with the material and made SA half as long it would have been another Californication.

And doubled its value?

An excellent choice sir. I’m stuck in a Jam rut at the moment.

I heard d this referred to as ‘ABBAtar’ today. I thought that was quite funny.

You know, this increases the likelihood of a Mamma Mia 3…

Edit: sorry didn't finish reading the post fully. 50mm would be better.

Is that with the neck plate on? granted that the screws will be countersunk to fit snugly into the plate, but you'll lose a couple of millimetres there.

Nah, mine's quiet as owt.

Oops.

Murder on the dance floor - Sophie Ellis Bexter is a great one to do.

The explorer is quite conservative compared to the later ‘Buzzard’; they’ve got to be the ugliest basses ever spewed up. The late MB1 was a big fan, but I just couldn’t agree with him on that.

One of my top 5 favourite basslines.

I tend to only use mine for synth bass patches - a job that it excels at.

That’s easy, I loads better looking than my identical twin brother!

I think on that particular instrument the chrome looks the best, my personal favourite knob is the big/big/small Jazz style.

Seriously, if y see that image as pornographic then you should see a psychiatrist and then report to your nearest police station and tell them that you might be a closet nonce.

Ooh gawd I hope not.

Erm, it’s more convenient to use yer feet… seriously though, I can’t remember the last time I gigged without pedals, indeed most of my (currently scant) dep gigs come from having a wealth of sounds to replicate anything from synth basses to bootsy-esque squelches through to utter filth. Horses for courses though.

The fx25 is like learning another instrument, like when a guitarist first gets a wah wah; it takes time and effort to get the best out of it, it’s time we’ll spent though.

The Behringer BSY-600 isn’t just a copy of the boss SYB-5; I think it’s better!
