Oh wow...nice!

Things have taken an even more interesting turn! Great thread and the body looks really cool. [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1401444397' post='2463624'] I'm just a fingerstyle plodder who is neither remarkable nor special, as such far from indispensable in a band context so I've much more important things to worry about (like playing sans mistakes as far as possible) than what voltage my preamp is running at [/quote] If I were to analyse my ability, I would describe it as exactly that. Uncanny (and more than a bit uncomfortable to realise!)...

Loop - genius. That kind of music can only be written by amazing minds. Still good, still relevant.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1405598227' post='2503421'] Thanks to this thread I've been listening to Morrissey all morning Dug out my early 90's CD's and really enjoying some of them! [/quote] Yup. Viva Hate and Bona Drag get a frequent listening. There are excellent musicians on those albums. I don't pay attention to his outbursts and only hear about them on here. I don't care, either.

Yup, can only agree that it is fantastic for bass.

[quote name='isteen' timestamp='1403956687' post='2488044'] What If you go directly from your bass to a Sansamp preamp/DI --> mixer/PA? Will that give a flat and dull sound from the bass? [/quote] I do this at band practice with a Dave Hall Amps valve DI and it sounds great. I've not tried it in a gig setting, though, as I have my amp with me and also DI from that.

Fantastic!

I decided to go with multifx. Why? Price, really. I can pick up a unit for the price of a good pedal. I I find that the unit leaves me a bit cold, I can sell it for pretty much what I paid for it and then buy a couple of pedals. Anyway, scored a Line6 XT Live bass version on eBay for a song. I'll see how it goes.

[quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1405070428' post='2498468'] Maybe a bit of subtlety got lost in the translation of the communication - remember, it will be a German replying in his second language. [/quote] This is quite possibly the most pedantic I have ever been in my life, but here goes... It may not be a German responding. There are thousands of expats in Germany from all over the world. The person responding could have English as a first language or third, fourth or whatever. End of unendurable pedantry.

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1405006715' post='2497866'] Could the Zoom B3 be another option to consider? It's got a DI built in, [/quote] Could be a contender, if I decide to go multifx rather than pedals. Thanks for the tip.

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1405007386' post='2497876'] Getting a DI box with ground lift can be a life saver live. My sugestion is that whatever you end up with, you make sure that either your DI box has that, or whatever pedal you use for DI does. [/quote] The DHA has a DI with ground lift. It's a fantastic piece of kit and I want to hang on to it, really. Valve too. I fully agree about it being a lifesaver! I keep a passive Behringer in the bag too, although I have not had to use it yet.

Hello! I'm torn at the moment. I want a DI rig that can be used with my amp bit also without it. At present, I have a DHA VT1 which is great. I want to add a spot of chorus and octave to it. So...do I get individual pedals and go octave > chorus > DI/preamp or get a Line6 multifx and go from that to the DI? I can see the benefits of a Line6, but as the one I'm looking at doesn't have a DI, that pedal needs to stay. I could end up with some joy with the other fx and the amp sims could be cool. But, on the other hand, a decent chorus and a decent octaver would sound better. I'd be looking at the MXR stuff. A bonus is that I have a pedalboard already. As I mentioned, I'm torn. BC massive - what should I do?

That looks like a Paul Reed Smith headstock with an extra swoosh of wood. Nice.

Very nice indeed!

Aw, that's a shame. My PMs with Howard are treasured; he is not only a true gent but also a beacon of benevolent light in a darkening world. Get well soon, Howard.

Nice! Wants. Might want those Nordstrands in a few months if you decide against them...

10/10. Luscious.

Absolutely fantastic and stunning photography to boot. Kudos!

Excellent! Well done.

I feel weak...that is too sexy. Too nice!

Excellent!
