NUX bumblebee. Sold my pedaltrain as soon as it arrived. Totally different class.

Fwonkbeta at the Anderton price is a no brainer. Beware using it with the stroke and juice panned too far left. Unless you have a HPF. It goes sooo deep

No! But I hope for their sake it was p1ss, imagine if it had Watneys Red Barrel in it and some went in the drummer's mouth 🤢

I am in another band, keys player's kit broke down at our last gig March 2020 and he has taken no part in remote recording, because he still hasn't replaced it! Imagine only having one bass! Imagine it not working and so just not playing for nearly 12 months 😳

Having had this experience as a very young guitarist I can't recommend it

Definitely in the case of one band, but then I never really learned it, played off chord sheets on my tablet. In the other definitely not. We've stayed in regular Zoom contact, discussed ideas for songs, recorded parts sent them back and forth, learned and recorded new songs. It's been good.

Good godammmmm

I assume, similarly, that barncaster refers to a telecaster made from reclaimed wood. I confess I didn't know it was a 'thing', but I do rather like it. I was considering a bass made from an old Somerset and Dorset railway sleeper as a nod to my local heritage. I think they were soaked in something nasty though. Heavy too.

Anyone tried the Menatone mail bomb?

This isn't, technically speaking, a reliced bass. It's a chunk of old wood from a barn (or something like that anyway) so it's grown old naturally

I've used them if I want to share an interesting auditory experience and writing it down wouldn't cut it. You know, like I'm texting "you should hear this pillock at work, in fact you can!" then I secretly record my boss telling me something or other.

It says I can't answer that.

That is the most magical thing ever. Thanks everyone for advice and offers of help. The manual was about as useful as any English manual, but it did tell me the SUSTAIN control works the opposite way around from what I thought!

It's on paper unfortunately AHA!

Need translation assistance please. I could type it into Google but it would take days. I don't type Cyrillic

A few other of his basses, one bass based on my bass, basically, is not a bass. (try saying that with a mouthful of sherbert lemons)

That's nice! We aren't a million miles away shape wise, but in the end we opted for a more simple look. The thing evolved over time, had a lot more going on at one point. It was then I realised that if I micromanaged the process we would end up with Homer's car in guitar form. It was then I resolved to let the builder make the decisions from there on in. I know some people couldn't commission a build and not have the final say - after all that would be the whole point. But for me, with fairly limited knowledge and catholic tastes, I like having something to look forward to. Don't get me wrong Stu and I made sure we were on the same page before he broke out the tools. But I chose him because I believe he has a good eye and a creative mind, I don't want to get in the way of that. I won't know if I like it until its hanging around my neck, but that's almost always true. Apart from three of my basses I have never played any of them prior to the unboxing and things generally turn out OK.

It's a Retrovibe. I wanted to shop local!

Nice!

I like it. It's quite versatile inasmuch as it has two settings; fuzz, and booze! I'll do a little demo irt's hard to describe fuzzes, they're all similar but different.

we pay UK vat, customs and handling charge on top. So not worth it.

Metallic Smoked Almond has to be one of the most bewildering colour description ever given to a bass.

Oh God. Been free of bass gas for a while, but that floats my boat.

me too!
