It's not that simple. IP protection requires that the holder takes prompt action when there is a breach. Gibson have decided to take action about 40 years too late. They already lost against PRS when their own lawyer admitted that only an idiot would confuse them at the point of sale. At the moment the decisions of the courts in the US basically says that the headstock is protected but the rest isn't, and Gibson just lost the copyright on the Flying V in the EU as well. In their main action against Dean, Gibson have gone further and claimed that Dean are actually trying to pass themselves off as Gibson products. That might be the most stupid idea I've ever heard. I've also never played a Dean that was as variable in quality as a Gibson. The genie is well and truly out of the bottle. Philips lost the rotating / circular razor copyright, and Lego lost their brick / connection design when they tried to stop "compatible" products being on sale. I can well imagine this being a massive own goal with the Courts confirming explicitly that there is no copyright in a guitar apart from the headstock. Then all the makers who have already shifted to a tweaked design may go back to making the older shapes again. Gibsons are getting more expensive by the minute, and the competition are cheaper and often better built. They need to concentrate on making a good and value for money product again.

That’s what I’m hoping! Waiting for the amp will give me a chance to learn a surprisingly tricky new arrangement of “Sir Duke” for my big band. Wrong key, double time section, drum solos!

That's most of what I see, 10 lines missing at the bottom!

Greg - that is an annoyingly large signature on your post! Takes up half a screen! EDIT - actually it takes up an entire screen!

I've got a pair of BF One10 I'm going to go for it. 7 working days wait time though! I do want to try the Legacy but with Andertons now saying end of October I want a new toy now!

I don't like Tweeters! Silly hissy things. So No - I have't got them. But that's a very good point. I've just had a look at my cab specs and they top out at 6Khz. No point being worried about that then!

The Millerizer seemed to cut the mids and boos the bass - but also boost the treble all the way up at 12 Khz. The regular EQ doesn't go that high. I suppose ultimately would MM put his name on it if he couldn't get it to sound how he wanted? Probably not. I might give it a go. Can always send it back!

I had ordered the Little Marcus 800. Alas the shop has been informed by the supplier that there is no firm delivery date. They've offered the new Marcus Limited instead. The EQ points are all the same as the Little Marcus (good!) but the "Millerizer" control has been removed and replaced with a Semi Parametric. The Old School control is still there. http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/marcus-limited-800/ I like the Miller slap sound, but I'm also aware that it's not really suitable for my band situation so that's less important at the moment. But I do want to make sure I can get the traditional Miller sound out of it too - so in idiot terms like a 3 year old could understand it - how does a Band Pass filter work (in the older model) and from the specs of the new model does it look like a similar sound can still be achieved? thank you!

Love playing with people and for people. Hate the travel, loading unloading etc etc

Does anyone make good ones for any bass? I like them a lot but I haven’t got one for my Sandberg.

Different EQ once again. Instead of the Old School / Millerizer controls. My 800 should arrive late next week. I could have got it quicker from elsewhere but I had Andertons points to spend too.

How are you mojomojo people setting your amp up first? Just flat or are you doing something else with it?

Andertons website now updated to 10th October!

Well with the delays I’ve spent my money on a Little Marcus 800. Ill start saving again for the Legacy now! 😂

I've actually got a MojoMojo but I've never tried it on bass. Might have to try it.

I’m guessing Christmas then! Although some Talk Bass guys have got theirs already.

I think the B3K at low drive does that far better than the VMT. I use the B3K circuit all the time in my big band - low gain, low blend, tone at about 10 o' clock. Gives just enough bite to cut through without sounding bright. Pedal wise - if you can find an old Zoom Power Drive PD-01 then you can get a lovely round tone on that. Gain to taste and treble down. In fact there is one on ebay at the moment: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/zoom-power-drive-pd-01-rare-overdrive-pedal/192981858593?epid=1323321713&hash=item2cee9d7921:g:RQoAAOSwc2NdJFeh

Spam their facebook with explanations as to what a crap idea it is

Sounds pretty good to me!

I played a Zon Hyperbass with a big band for a while.

20 frets. Sometimes I really want 21 for that other E!!

Give them the Brexit Party's mail email address.

Andertons are listing the Xotic BB Bass preamp at £129 rather than the RRP of £210.00. I've never tried one, but I'm quite tempted at that price! https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/xotic-effects/xotic-bb-preamp-bass-pedal

Just keep £500 in the re-valve time pot!
