17th of October, which brings this year's gig count to a dizzying ONE!! Can't frickin' wait - dipping for a band I've played with before. It's just covers, but an eclectic mix of reggae, 80's synth pop, a bit of rock etc... and loads of chaotic tomfoolery.

Be aware thou that you’ll lose some effects; the B1 ON has more synths than the later models - part of the reason I ‘downgraded’ to the MS60B. Check the effects list on the zoom website to be certain that you’ll still have what you need.

I’m with Doddy on this - OC-2 all the way. If you want polyphony then look at zoom stuff- they’ll all do polyphonic octaves and pitch shifting for less than a ton in a couple of cases. You could even set up a patch with a heavy compression before it to give it a helping hand.

yeah, I much prefer the Tonelib app to zoom's own software. I should just get a cheap multi effects for guitar and leave my MS60B as it is.

I was looking at this last week, not tried it yet, but it would be good to get some guitar amp sims on my ms60b so I can use it as a practice tool for guitar...

An excellent soundtrack. There’s a version of this on Sneaker Pimp’s first album: https://youtu.be/peug224n77E

Life at _5 towers has continued as normal. Butlers still buttle, footmen still foot etc...

Did the singer help with the load-in?

Good call, love me some Dread Zeppelin!

Then of course there’s this:

Life? Don’t all to me about life...

Ah Kauffman, Elvis’ favourite Elvis impersonator.

No Doubt’s “Rock Steady” album. Some great input from Sly & Robbie and Prince on this one.

I’ve just done exactly this - gone from a B1four back to an ms60b. yes, the functionality is very much reduced, but the MS60b has more synths, which is primarily what mine’s used for. Running the MS60B in a loop pedal means that I have a master switch to bring it in or out of the signal path, and I use the MS60B foot switch to cycle through my pre selected patches.

Round here? Throw a stick!

Shhhh! Don’t tell him!! 😄

My Bitsa Jazz/MM fretless. Love it!

Space - big cabs do not make for domestic bliss, also they’re really heavy!

I’ve been really impressed with the Wilkinson Musicman/Jazz combo - switch either pickup on individually or run in parallel for the standard ‘stingray’ tone. Not expensive either: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wilkinson-Platinum-WJM-Bass-System/dp/B01M0RSO1M

Shame - I’ve got a rosewood NW Jazz neck on my ‘bitsa’ P bass and it’s great. Worth holding out for.

Zoom B1- four multi effects. Cheap as chips and has all the effects you need. Even if you move on to individual effects pedals afterwards it’s a great tool to experiment and find out what you’ll use.

Love it!! I want one of those!
