Oi - I load and unload my microphone! WTAF more do you want?

Yes they will. In fact I had enquired about a Stingray pickup in a TT4 shape and swapped a few emails with them about it, and then they announced the Central bass that has it (on a P shape). You can email Sandberg to ask if something is possible and if so then you get the price via your local dealer.

Is that supposed to be the Two Notes Re-Volt? Or something else?

pedal in loop A, nothing in B. Instant blend. Or different ones in different loops.

It’s great! Well built, no hiss or other noise. Quiet switch. Sounds exactly how it should. All for a whopping £29 delivered from AliExpress. Very impressive.

I used a Boss LS-2 for this for years. Works great.

Wasn't that designed by Tye Zamora and not by Fender? If so, then all Fender did was build it so I don't think their design team can be blamed!

Duck is probably my favourite bassist. I never get bored hearing him play. My big bad do Think and Tail feather. Such great fun to play.

Normal on a fan fret if you want to play at a particular point on the string.

I did ask them about the limiter - and it's not even like the good old boss pedal, a lot more subtle... and then I kind of bought one in my AG1000 head. It doesn't do a lot. I really like the AG1000 - it's a lovely amp, but if that Limier just had a bit more squish it would have been perfect.

I thought that was just for Tye Zamora as a custom order and not a 'custom shop' bass?

There's a lot of Dingwall 6 strings out there and most of them are the metal guys. Some are tuning F#BEADG though.

I've had 5 inguinal hernias so I swapped to Sandberg superlight basses and really lightweight amps and cabs. Then I ruptured a tendon in my right hand - Mallet Finger - that just didn't want to heal. Spent most of a year in a cast. The tendon did eventually heal but because the finger was stationary for so long I have arthritis in it and that finger sometimes does not obey my commands. I'm using a plectrum more often but I don't really like it. It's just not the sound in my head. I've got another superlight on order - this time a shortscale Lionel. For some reason I find plectrum playing much easier with a shortie. I think it's the instrument position combined with the shorter neck. I've got a really cheap shortie at the moment but the 'Berg will be much lighter in weight. It's very annoying though.

Sounds like the best you can do is sell it and buy the right sized one. I had no idea the licensed and USA were different sizes. That's just stupid.

This. It's just not on brand. They would have done it by now if they wanted to. If FMIC decide to do one then I would expect it to be under the Charvel or Jackson brands instead. They take more risks with designs there. But even then, 6 string basses must only be a tiny percentage of total bass sales. Might not even be worth tooling up.

No doubt they'll have to update the pedals to USB C at some point - maybe they'll do a redesign at that point too. Would be very useful.

A used Barefaced Two10 would be ideal even if you have to save up a bit. Very lightweight and easy to move about. Via a convoluted route I went from Marshall VBC412 cabs (110lb each) down to a 40lb Barefaced Supertwin. The Two10 is even lighter at 31lb / 14kg. As expensive as my cab was, I have never regretted it.

If a hole is too big then plumbers tale is perfect for wrapping the bushing. But if the hole is too small / tuner too big then without drilling it is not going to fit. I never order hipshot stuff direct from them. The shipping is a nightmare. I just put an order in with Bass Direct. It gets added to their next usual order so it can take a while, but it's a lot cheaper, and it can be returned to the shop if there's a problem.

Although Bassdirect ordered the two they have in stock with a 35 scale.

Darkglass amps don't have any valves in them. But they do have their drive circuits. I had a Mk1 MT900 and for cleans I always had the B7K circuit on at a really low drive level. I liked that a great deal.

Markbass do several models with valve preamps now. The LM Tube, the Vintage and D2 etc. Worth a look.

They announced it some time ago. I had forgotten about it. I've never done anything with midi but now I have a couple of SA pedals I might be tempted.

I quite fancy the idea of one of the M58 combos myself - I just wish the heads had a compressor in them, then I wouldn't need to take a pedal and power for it.

If you've already got the BF Two10 and an Ashdown RM head you already have one of the very lightest rigs out there. If you want to cut down set up time then the only option left is a combo. The MB 121P gets a lot of love on here, but the brand new M58 version of the Mini 121P (and Pure, etc etc) are even lighter. There's 300W and 500W versions. I don't think anyone has tried one of the M58 versions yet and all the shops are awaiting stock but as you've already got a light rig I'd be waiting to try one of the new combos. I believe there is a 2x10 version as well, but they are quite a bit larger that what you've already got. You might as well duck tape your ashdown to your Two10 and leave it connected!

Yeah - apparently on the Ashdown ones the detents can be removed, but as I'm highly likely to kill myself with anything electrical I got Dave to swap the pot. He said that was actually quicker to do.
