  1. Loving the new content, along with the website it really marks a big jump forward in online presence for sure. Nice one!

    Ah okay fair enough, QC it is then! Its a different world, but once you learn how to use it i'm sure you'll find itll do everything you want, and tons of stuff you didn't think you'd need. I've owned since launch, replaced quite a hefty pedalboard, and no regrets at all.

    I guess I'd open with, what is leading you towards to Quad Cortex, given your preference for what sounds like a very straightforward setup? Gut response is to go Nano, as it doesn't sound like you'll use anything but captures and IRs, but just curious.

    The new updated has an OC-2 and Meatbox model, nice for bass to get some attention. No experience with a Meatbox, but the OC-2 model is bloody good , compares very, very well with the original '82 I have on the board!
  5. Its the position of the bridge that gives me the most anxiety...
  6. What is wrong with people! 😅 As above, this bass was a good deal for US players, anywhere else the cost of shipping etc takes it way above its worth compared to others in the range.
  7. Anything well built and. crucially, well set up will work, preferably with hum buckers. Getting a "good" B is 99% about making sure the neck and bridge are set up optimally. String gauge is preference, scale length is a huge 2nd to setup. I currently use a StingRay and Alpher bass in B. I left 5's behind back in 2019 in favour of drop tuned 4's, never looked back. Realised I never liked using a G string and felt much more comfortable on a narrower neck, so made total sense.
  8. Whilst still not being the sound you're looking for, it was still a big difference right? As those pickups and preamp should have transformed the sound, like taking a blanket off your amp. The far east Barts are not good IMO but swapping them out usually makes a good budget bass great.
  9. Stunning neck! 😍 I do find it odd that with Music Man the necks generally seem to be complete luck of the draw. You get the odd spec that vaguely says "figured maple neck" and they can be anything from a plain old bit of maple to the deepest flame. My PDN has a gorgeous deep roasted birdseye maple neck, whereas others i've seen from the same run are pale and the most ordinary grain imaginable.
  10. He needs to actually become a better drummer and learn to be able to play to the gig. Finding solutions to bring his volume down is nonsense, he just needs to accept his performances are bringing the band down.
  11. DM me the thread links @patrikmarky and I'll sort it 👍
  12. Just to check the obvious, are you getting this with multiple "E" strings you've tried?
