Has anyone seen a Evo V in the flesh yet? I'm curious to know if they've actually sold any, particularly with the price drop that happened only about 2 weeks after launch.

It's all a bit infantile these days.

I like that. Has a nice raspy quality to it.

Just tried some demos on YT. Sounds great but the sideways form factor won't work on my Nano board. Definitely one to think about if I ever got back to a bigger board.

Schecter used to sell a bass in Cello tuning. Must have been 20 years ago. The only downside I can see is that she won’t ever be able to borrow a bass at a gig.

When I ordered my Lionel shorty I went for Superlight woods and I said the same thing. Less dense wood = less wood = more money? You havin' a laugh?

At the other end of the scale... John Myung not giving a crap!

I've have a Helix for 5 years. I have no fear of digital! I've got a couple of other Source Audio pedals and really enjoy them so I'm thinking a lot about the Aftershock as well.

I'm liking this a lot!

Lovely!! I have one on order with Sandberg - with Super Light specs. It might even be under 6lb! I have another 8 months to wait for it though. It's going very slowly!

I have no preference really. Quite happy to play unplugged for sight reading practice or for low level play-a-long. I enjoy using an amp for loud play-a-longs but that's more for fun than practice.

Just remembered - Sandberg will build their 4 and 5 strings at 32 inch scale. It's a custom order of course, but available. The upcharge is the same as going for a 35 inch scale.

Ibanez EHB1005SMS 32-30 multi scale. There’s one in the classifieds. Ahem.

no I didn’t. I interpreted your earlier post as the process of switching tunings would do your head in, not the actual playing in different tunings. The process does my head in too. But I’m happy playing in different tunings as long as I’m not sight reading.

That looks interesting!

I had one and sold it. Great pedal but not what I was looking for.

that’s what a hipshot extender is for. 1 lever to move for accurate changes from E to D and back again. It’s a marvellous invention.

There are currently 27 countries in the EU and 39 in Eurovision. They have nothing to do with each other.

I'm thinking about getting a new drive pedal. I'd like to investigate the relative unknowns, the ones that don't get the big social media exposure. Does anyone have any recommendations for any forgotten heroes? I don't have a particular sound in mind, or an example of a tune. Just fancy something different. ta

I think that's the plan - the reports have been that it will be a celebration of Ukraine as if it was being held there.

What's the cheapest (I know!) way to control 2 SA pedals with access to patches? I've got the Spectrum and the Ultrawave and they are even more fun together. Is it the proper SA Neural hub and their controller or are there other options? ta

sorry, wasn’t very clear. Fans of all ages non bassists don’t care who was behind PG. Bassists under 45 won’t know who he is anyway. The under 45s without kids are likely to be the ones who do buy posh instruments.

The songs Levin etc have played are legendary and are well known. That doesn't mean the fans of the songs can name the players. Certainly not for solo artists. More to the point, they don't care. They don't care if Peter Gabriel's backing band was Hendrix, Sting, Rich, and Mozart. Gabriel is the legend there, not the band members. If legendary status was about ability then someone like Vic Wooten would be more popular than Sting. And he isn't. Ed Sheeran -v- Andre Segovia. Or if we are honest - any professional backing singer on earth -v- Ian Brown. Edit. And I am talking about bass players. I think there’s a lot of under 45 bassists who won’t know who Levin is.
