Usually I assume anyone choosing anything other than tort is drunk or suffering from a brain injury. However, it appears that life is not so straightforward as I thought. Bought a tort guard for one of my PB50s and it didn't work 🤷🏻‍♂️. On either of them. Go (as the Americans say) figure.

How do you turn the pedals off again? Using the hub, I mean. Is it just a case of saving a preset with all the pedals off?

Nice one!

😬 Oh yeah!

Humble Pie! Cool.

Good enough though!

Which bass player shares your birthday? Paul McCartney for me. 👍🏼

Brilliant! Can't wait to see it all.

10 points to Frank, 5 to Nail. Well done chaps.

On the topic of women bassists I loved,

That would be in the midi pedal I think. Mine is a different make but I can set it up to scroll and select or automatically select.

The guy who made me get up onto my hindlegs and notice that bass was a thing was JJB. Then Bruce Foxton at around the same time. I joined a band as a rhythm guitarist and the bassist was (and still is) an extraordinary musician - I was mesmerised. But the pro who I really fell for and still love the best is Bruce Thomas from his time in the Attractions. I now have a longer list (thanks to Basschat) with Entwistle, Watt-Roy, Dart, Jamerson, Edwards, Dunn, McCartney, Jones, Kaye, Osborne. Only criteria for me is liking the band or music they play in. I don't see music as a clinical, technical exercise, so if the music leaves me cold no matter how good the player (Jaco, Mark King for example) I won't learn much from them.

Sandberg Electra. Amazing instruments.

This has been an enthralling thread. Right up to the part where people talked about things, and stuff. Then I got a bit lost.

I intend to visit my SY-1 later (depending upon how deeply my current collapsed state evolves) and get that organ infill. Once I do I'll share it.

I didn't realise that was a thing! Brilliant!

There's a really awkward door frame / step down / right angled turn / door frame / step down to get out of the place I'm living. It makes it really difficult to wheel it out.

I'd love to help you but I'm too new too! I have only done one rehearsal with it and found an awesome organ sound to run underneath the bass when a solo is happening - it's astonishingly good and I wish I knew how I got it.

I have so nearly sold mine so many times, but I would just spunk the cash on rubbish, and I will never have the wherewithal to buy another. So I shall resume my search for a method to wheel it to and from the car without lifting, and give it another go.

Hercules looks in awe upon @scrumpymike and his scrumpettes

YES!

No longer own the Trace R of D, and my faker is in bits. My contribution will be updated - it all depends on which car I'm in, mine is tiny. Going to be selling a black club bass, a bitsa precision, a vintage Washburn and an OLP 5 string and maybe some pedals so bring your wallets.
