I'm just about old enough to remember when they were the new standard, and at the time they were impressive compared to the other options. But, as you say, they are not really impressive now. The tech has moved on considerably.

Those cabs are mindblowingly heavy. You couldn't pay me to have them. You could get a modern 2x10 that will outperform those in every way. I wouldn't go for the amp either. On board compression with a bit of drive (not actually a tube) could look at a Darkglass M900 V2, or an Ashdown ABM, or if you don't want drive but just a great sound an EBS Reidmar.

I saw Devin Townsend when his click system went wrong and they had to reboot the laptops. He was open about it and properly explained that as the next song had orchestral parts and he did not, in fact, earn enough money to fly an orchestra round the world to do 1500 capacity venues he was using backings and backings need a click track. It also controlled the backdrop and the lights. Nothing wrong with that to me.

Is it though? Most of the time I see the di taken from the amp. Even if that is pre-EQ it's still getting any baked in sound and whatever pedals are being used.

How do you get Reaper to do that? All I do is record with it!

No mute switch? Controls on the back that might a tweak at a gig? That's not very clever. Thanks for the answer. I won't buy one!

I gig a lot. But it’s with an educational trust band so there are rules in videos of those under 18. So I don’t have any footage I could share.

I’ve just rebuilt my nano board. I had an old Ibanez Tonelock phaser on it. On guitar it’s great, but I was getting serious tone suck and loss of punch on bass. I didn’t mind so much in the house but as the new term arrives I need the heft for rehearsals to start in about 2 weeks. Assuming I don’t quit as I’m mightily annoyed with many things over the last year. I have those 2 weeks to decide. So I might end up building a multi-board set up with each board feeding into the next!

yes… but only if someone has actually transcribed it all! How many bands do that?

@Quatschmacher - Will the Neuro App work with iOS stuff that only has a USB C output if I use a USB C to headphone adapter?

The Ti 324 fit my Lionel just fine so I’d be surprised if they didn’t fit on a Mustang. If the JMJ is string through body then use the 344? My Lionel now always has EB Group iii flats on it. Long scale as they don’t do anything else. They work fine. Lovely strings. A bit brighter than TI to start but they calm down beautifully.

I’m tempted to try one of these. Built compressor and a little drive could be great. Anyone know if it does a good John Deacon slightly farty mids P bass tone?

Newsted used to wear one in Metallica, and when he did the T shirt sales in general went up massively and the individual sales of that shirt were always higher. He viewed it as a way of helping to sell Merch. But I still don’t think the frontman should ever do it.

I’ve got 3 boards. Nano+ for 99% of live work, PT Jnr for the rest, and a PT2 for silly noise home use that is too heavy to carry. There are a couple of pedals that I have to swap between them though. One day I’ll buy some duplicates.

I had a 3 Pro years ago and I don’t remember it being gutless at all. At the time I used a TecAmp M212 cab.

I just use normal ones. I get 18 months at least with my EMG equipped basses. They should definitely last longer than a few weeks and months if it is unplugged!

Most likely. They will have to pay their import and VAT on it.

Oooo... ah, 'competent' you say? Never mind!

I've not seen those before. I'm not lifting them!

It’s not Sunbeams. I used to use them a lot. The wrap wire stays tight rather than the spaces in the pic. I only know of Black Labels that are like that.
