I LOVE the soft valve sound of the Eq and Valve in, Shape in settings. Nothing wrong with all the other sounds but that one in particular is fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to do this and for sharing.

@Len_derby possible change of plan... @andyonbass who is bringing the bass to the West Country is up nearer to you than Tamworth on Wednesday. He can still divert to Tamworth but asked me if he might just get it from you?

I have the guitars and amps of my dreams, so my thoughts went here too. A large rehearsal facility complete with stage, PA and lighting. So I can make all the noise I want at any time and even invite people along to watch if we wanted. Preferably in a large outbuilding adjacent to my small cottage. But I want to play the game so can I have a P Bass made for me by a luthier all to my spec a Barefaced 8x10, and another Ampeg SVT. Oh and a vegan leather strap, 4 inches wide, padded. Ta.

This conversation is becoming a little uncomfortable. Not, however, as uncomfortable as sitting on my seat has become. We have a problem. The little exciter has become so excited it's begun to get a little warm. About as warm as the centre of an average sized sun, I'd say. I thought I could smell something cooking and it turns out that it was my fundament.

Thanks Len. @andyonbass will receive his schedule for the week tomorrow, hopefully he'll be heading to Tamworth one day next week (fingers crossed the bass is with @T-Bay) he will then take the bass to Swindon. I have arranged a pick up from Swindon by my singer who leaves 20 minutes out from there. And she will bring it to me! What a magnificent Basschat effort this has been.

It depends on your friend's tastes, and their tolerance.

I lost my midi cherry to this pedal. You can't really manage without a little bit of it.

I like my threads free range. Hijack away!

Lovely stuff guys. Reminds me of The Wire when the dockers ship the police van around the world!

Brown live green/yellow earth. I thought that was the only bit I'd done properly!

Welcome aboard! It's an amazing piece of kit. Just ease yourself into the software. Unless you're already conversant with the language of synthesisers it can be a bit of a head Turner. The manual is well worth a read for some quick start tips. But sign up to the online site for a bunch of patches which are good to go out of the box

I followed this advice 👆 and what a difference! 🤯 Soldered cables and fitted a block (heat shrink is my new favourite toy) Then used nuts and washers as spacers and oh my goodness what a joy! Not only is the love seat back to its throbbing best but the sound quality is just extraordinary. No need for a practice amp - my chair sounds just fine thank you. It's quiet enough you could practice at night without headphones and not wake the neighbours but easily audible, and responsive to the tone controls on the amp. Comes into its own however when you also use a headphone amp. An immersive, virtual reality experience. With free haemorrhoid and prostate massage thrown in.

Well well well. Isn't that interesting.

I'll have a look at ireal Pro tomorrow, see what we can find

Thank you @tauzero that's brilliant. Exactly what I needed to know.

Plan is to attach it to my stool. We'll be millionaires Rodney

My rack is oversized in both directions. I put everything in a soft bag because its easier than having individual bits rattling around in there. Lessons the risk of a jackplug ending up in your cheese and pickle sandwiches too.

Hi. I have a feeling that the short answer is you can't. It's designed for chord charts. You can add single bass notes, for those times when say the chord is D but the bass plays A (usually shown with the bass note following a /) but not runs of notes. I decided to use Musescore when I reached a similar point. It means getting to grips with notation but lots of folk here helped me to learn.

Hmm. Interesting. Having decided that it works I got down under the seat and tidied up by putting the rest of the screws in and tightening the whole thing up. This has (unsurprisingly I suppose) tightened the bottom end but lessened the giblet rattling effect of the bass. Mind you the chair is beginning to disintegrate so it's still doing something. Going to mount it on the back just to try it out.
