yeahhhh - last build was a catlinbread SFT and a big muff on Vero, a chorus of some kind on a pCB all put in the same red box.... I was one of the first posters on this thread... then went through the "I don't do pedals" stage... then last few years used a Zoom B3n followed by the current HX stomp... so I am using pedals just not in the normal way pedal people do...

it's full of volts so could be a shocking build!

frog fx1 PCB ordered.... looks like I'm building pedals again!

HX stomp into desk

Mate, even if not to your normal standards the stain was better than 99% of us could do - Its ok, you can make mistakes, you don't need to drive into oncoming traffic to distract us

I didn’t want to say anything based on the last pic but think that’s the right choice

oooh - I wonder if he will sell me the EQ knobs for mine!

or indeed an answer to that thread asking why they don't make more...

I don't even really "do" pedals (apart from my HX stomp) but ended up reading the whole talk bass thread on this

Mine old one was 14-15lb - oddly enough balanced well and the weight was fine when playing, fun and enjoyable to play too. weighed twice what my Warwick streamer did

It’s ok - the wal preamp is two transistors and 3/4 of a 4opamp IC that’s not in production any more and crazy hard to find

I'm not sure that's right - Alembic I always though was a fender tonestack?

Anyone seen or built the Frog FX1 preamp pedal - fender showman or the Alembic based on it shrunk down to pedal size … making me tempted to build something again

Make the conversation about her foldback and in ears - I'm really sorry you seem to be singing flat, it must be your fold back - next time we need to spend some time making sure you can hear yourself ...have you set your in-ears correctly? It really is important for making sure you're in tune - like last week you probably didn't even realise ...

sooo instrument in the instrument in mono (Left and right for two instruments?) and then and then laptop stereo blend in via effects loop? An AB switcher before the stomp for the guitar and bass might be easier, just for my brain more than anything

Hold up - it's probably helpful to separate "I can't get on with the ergonomics cos I don't have anywhere nice to put my thumb" from "I have one, don't like the sound"

@Steve Browning - tried it one of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261594534917?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TYluiBxGQK6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=g-S2GOEbSbm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It’s a standard Groove with a wooden neck and a busted tuner… not common but hardly rare, there was a nice red one earlier this year

Can it come attatched to that blue bass?

Depends on funding model used.... with the shift of the marketplace to online prices are more transparent and there's a big chunk of the market that I would trust now when it comes to the vehicle - less so when selling add on products that may or may not be needed or necessary. To be honest in this scenario my biggest surprise would be my 4 year old daughter becoming a teenage son.

As someone who works in a company supplying mainly the secondhand car market I resent this - every industry has it's chancers and dodgy practice, but generally even at the worst end of the used car market is safer, better regulated and more open and honest than vintage guitars....

I just play what I want through the week and have a half hour run through the songs beforehand- most of them are simple enough there’s not much that’s going to throw me. if being a dad time allows I might spend a bit more time nailing down a few options for more melodic stuff but you’re always at the mercy of drummer or lead guitarists changing the rhythm slightly and what I’ve come up with not fitting… to be honest I don’t think the musical skills you need to get to an acceptable level playing at church are that high a level… the harder skills is dealing with last min changes, working as a team with a big range of skillsets and being in a place to worship yourself as you lead others in worship…. my tip, pick a more complentative song which the bass isn’t really adding too and choose to sit out most of it … what are you doing? Shuffling music? Pulling faces at the kids? picking you nose? Modelling how to worship to the rest of the meeting? Swigging coffee? Giving that WTF look at the drummer?
