Ah of course, sorry 😅😅😅

Thank you everyone, especially @Andyjr1515without your post I would have snapped the fretboard within the first half an hour, if not sooner.

Watched a ton of videos on this, thought I'd share just one I stumbled across. It's not hugely relevant in this particular case, but I feel the guy explains stuff lucidly and I wanted to make others aware of his channel.

My take on this is it is extremely versatile. The eq section is really useful. There is no loss of bottom end. Treat the drive as if it were your gain, the level as if it were your master and those make sense. The voice is like another overdrive, getting a balance between voice and drive is i suspect, the trick. Hard to tell from a recording but when you're in the room this adds an almost tangible thickness to the sound. It goes from grubby, through dirty and filthy to absolutely obscene. I homnestly can't imagine what overdrive sound a bass player would want that this can't do. Except fuzz. It's not a fuzz box.

I've already done this and it sheared the end off.

Single action. Thanks Jabba.

A good way in. I used some as a kind of starting point while I was learning the software but I don't think I ever used one live.

The presets are notorious.

So can I get the scalpel out then?

I was quite looking forward to it. Nothing to lose and all that.

OK, but it won't show a join of any sort it's all painted

I bought it many moons ago and didn't understand a word he said. It is therefore possible I'm misquoting him. Apologies if that was unclear.

Nope

Hard to show the full awfullness in one short video, after all there are a huge number of effects all with many parameters. Tell us, which is your least favourite?

Headphones or speakers, it's bass after all.

I think it was the discussion on the american Sound.

In the lockdown online shopping has become a sort of self generated secret santa. Combine this with a predeliction for buying stuff late at night regardless of need or the emptiness of my bank balance and odd things happen. Like this turning up long after I'd forgotten ordering it. Of course it might have been ordered very recently but I don't know the month never mind the day at the moment. I'll fire it up for you let you know what I think.

Sorry, I mean the nut wouldn't turn any more, it just sheared off the end of the rod

Problem is its not turning. That's what I have done. I nibbled a bit of wood to expose some more thread put a washer tried to tighten it and the end of the rod sheared off. It must be stuck solid somehow.

Kicking back with some Tedeschi Trucks Band while reading Joe R Lansdale. Getting a southern vibe on.

Keep an eye on the for sale threads here, there are often quality Trace Elliot heads going for an absolute bargain. *cough*

Beautiful!

If I was setting up as a luthier this kit would pay for itself. Real quality gear, but what is the bass worth? 200 maybe? I can't justify the cost. Thanks though.
