Looks and sounds fantastic, a truly modern bass synth in a really useable floor unit.

It's just how close the times are, what time did you pay it, at the time it says? Check it tomorrow morning, you'll probably find it has updated.

i wouldn't worry about that until at least tomorrow evening, you get odd duplicate stuff on tracking all the time.

Nor I.

Judging by the power draw, I'd assume all digital. Kinda the direction Darkglass has gone on these days, not a bad thing necessarily but when you consider the price of these preamp, buy a couple of them and you may as well get a full digital processor and get a hell of a lot more.

And the worst possible place for a footswitch to go award goes to...

That would be the ongoing debate part At the moment, the guidelines are as you've quoted. Given almost any topic can be made political, hardline banning "politics" is practically impossible. Until we come up with something better, please use these guides and report things you think clearly breach them.

That'll do, ta.

We ask that members avoid political discussions. Unfortunately, many members choose to ignore that rule. Its on ongoing debate with the mod/admin team if I'm honest. We tend to respond to reports at the moment, some are in favour of a hardline ban, others designated threads. We'll ty and be as transparent as possible.

Cioks user here too, although not forked out for a Crux yet, still using the old doubler cable method.

I think this is one of those things that bassists with valve heads and 8x10 rigs like to talk about, but I've never experienced the "feel" of a cab behind me. Perhaps if I stood still at the back of the stage in front of the speaker, but I'm all over the place. I've gigged without any backline since 2019 and I don't miss it at all.

Oh in that case yes I go straight to FoH/IEMs, i've never used a power amp with it. I think perhaps once or twice i've plugged in to the effects loop return of a practice room amp, but no i'm strictly one of those modern w*nkers

I think it's just the common sense advice really. If you can try first, absolutely do. If it's not practical, take each bass as it comes, some are bigger risks than others. When buying an off the shelf new bass though, I HAVE to try first, as they can vary so much, i'd want to know that I had the best one the shop had that day.
