it's still the intro price and they've not increased it?

I have been mucking around with a Zoom MS70cdr which is a cheap way to play around with it. Using it in a loop as it's simpler to bypass that way. But you can chain delays and reverb (and mods and filters and drives etc) together. Then last week I picked up an Eventide H9 at a decent which sound wise is maybe only 10% better and can only do one effect at a time. I was actually quite shocked how close the Zoom gets tbh. If you're looking for a cheap way to start playing with Reverbs the zoom is really recommended. (and I would say that even if I going to be moving mine on!)

that looks really interesting!

What kind of reverb sound are you wanting to have?

there's a lot of chat on the "reverb on bass" thread on talk bass from the last few days

the shop didn't even do research to find out the value of a Wal. - do you think they had any idea about packaging and CITEs to send a bass internationally?! In a country where house purchased can be gazumped I find little to be worked up about when a small shop takes local money and hand delivers vs international sale and everything that entails. Not great but life is too short to get that worked about it. It's just a bass!

I wish I had heard yours. (Well I did hear yours but I had Neepheids headphones on trying his Jack Cassidy

it did sound nice. I think to my ears the mid driver sounded nice, but the transition through the crossover was a lot smoother on the 2 way BCcab. Both were a lot more flat in response to the Barefaced compacts - though to be fair they are going for a very different tonal goal.

I think the issue will be that any presets will have the same issues that you are with setting them up for your rig and gear - except with the confirmation bias that having paid for it you are more likely to trust it than your own ears! So I would suggest making your own. If I was trying to get the sounds you're after I personally would have opened up the amp blocks - but they are on the stomp, not the effects so that's not helpful advice.

Go one block at a time, dont get too complex too quickly and work out your own. where isn’t it going fantastically?

I was a fun day! thsnks to @rwillett for inviting us to your lovely village - I thought it was a lovely day and good to meet some new people. See guys like @sifi2112 and @GreeneKing again and Folk like @neepheid who I’ve been reading their comments and seeing them as an authority who’s opinions I trust for years now! ….

Have you checked the middle asle of Lidl?

well that was a fun day! I only took this photo of the cab shootout as I thought @stevie would enjoy

Just for clarification… Where’s best? on cross haw lane before the junction with old road?

Going to bring the Bravewood rather than the 55-94 because, well the 55-94 sadly is the least loved bass I have!

Keyboard sustain pedal as expression pedal into some kind of multi effects ?

I mean this doesn't go into value at all... but I for years played lots of random modern basses... but for what I was doing, esp going straight to a PA, fender shaped objects just were easier to get working in the mix reliably every time. The price of things just working so you can focus on music

is this a stupid idea, but could you do it mechanically? .... could you use a volume pedal and a spring (or easier a piano pedal) - push down to fade out, stop sample, remove foot and it goes to full volume?

what's the flanged metal thing with the bolt on it?

@lee650 has/had one and spoke very highly of it

@castlemaine22 has designed a few things like that - they were very cool

I am writing this on an iPhone made in China - the processor has over 100,000 times the processing power of the Apollo 11 guidance computer. Currently there is an arms race of a kind going on in the EV car market, with the large Chinese makers (plus existing car brands) competing with each other to build the best EV- highly technological bits of kit - I was reading that one of their advantages is pure numbers of engineers and designers with uni level degrees coming through Chinese institutions… all to say, I think if a Chinese company wanted to make a high spec version of what is essentially 1950’s tech instrument… I think they would be able to

neither had I till a few years back....

I'll be about 10-10.15ish
