I know that feeling! It's coming from GAK as they had stock and because they actually answered my questions about it. Unlike some other retailers who actually answered my emails to tell me they didn't have time to answer!!!

@therealting I've given in and ordered one. Should be here on Wednesday with a bit of luck. This will be my first medium 5 string ever so I'm very curious about how the low B will do. I like the D'addario's that come as standard, but I have a bigger B in the house anyway to experiment. Although I think it is a Tapered. I never used to like tapered strings, but on my Stingray a tapered B sounds much better and with less annoying overtones. So I'm open minded.

I’ve never known a drive pedal to sound good in a loop.

Markbass + Barefaced works for me.

Looking forward to your review of the BB2 when we get back to loud music.

Wow. I never expected that. Might get it to 7 3/4 or even 7 1/2 with some Hipshot Ultralites

1: Lovely! 2: Aren't those Yamaha's stupid heavy?

This. Just need a router!

Anal C*nt. If you must they are on youtube.

Not a clue. But what you are looking for is the Source Audio Spectrum Intelligent Filter. Does the Meatball thing, the Mutron thing, the every thing you could imagine.

Many years ago the Hard Rock Cafe had a pair of Bruce Dickinson's furry tight stage trousers / leggings on the wall in a case. When I asked about it one of the people there told me the case had 2 purposes - firstly to stop theft and secondly because they smelled like they had never been washed during a world tour!

I've had Pod2, XT and XT Pro. The amp models in particular are night and day with the Helix. But as per any sound you may still prefer your version. It's easy to get hung up about the accuracy of amp models rather than whether the sound is good. But the IR capabilities, multiple routing for even 4 parallel paths, Cab sims on the feed to the PA and no cabs on a feed to a power amp / real cab and USB to a DAW... all at the same time is amazing.

Here you go. In depth explanation. There are 2 versions - a 25.5 scale and 27 scale for d-tuning fun

The helix will control the variax. The new Shuriken Guitar has loads of demos and even a full album recorded by Twelve Foot Ninja. Stevic from that band has loads of helix and variax shuriken vids on YouTube.

Sandbergs. I had an old shape TM5 (Jazz shape) in their heavy relic Roquefort blue and the relic job was amazing. I only sold it due to the weight.

Anything and everything by the Beatles. Love the songs, hate the vocals -but there are many excellent covers.

It's been 5 hours dammit! We need MORE!!!

I'm not sure I can hear any difference - even with my studio monitors. I like the tone either way.

Spector threads upset me. I really really want a Euro, but I've never found one 8lb or under. I just can't do anything heavier these days.

I've sold one pedal now so I'm a third of the way there!

Could get mates to ship the Joe Dart bass - that one really does look like a $500 bass!

Why the smeg isn't the SLO neck a standard option? Also: mates - yes. Money at the moment.... errrrrr! I'm trying to plan a major birthday purchase with some saving up time.

Could be I suppose. I really like the look of them - especially as the new Stingray Specials have increased the nut width to the point where I don't want one (gutted - I was really looking forward to the new lower weight). But knowing my luck the Fenders will be too heavy. It's not like they will be churning out enough to increase the odds of some super light woods.

The international one is more expensive and only has a Fender preamp. The international model is more expensive too! Why on earth would they not fit the same preamp?
