I can throw in 'e' which was left when The Weeknd couldn't afford the full name.

and it's two for one on the following £6.99 Drive By Clive Catalyst Boner Best Dress Bessy Bang Bang Orangutan Gulag Gladrags Mushroom Kaboom Sweet tooth

I have some economy £5 names as well Munich Widow Big Pharma Hollow Marsh Proof Favorina Humble Crumb and of course Black Friday.

Yes but they aren't premium though. Mine are premium.

I have always been brilliant at coming up with band names but have been hamstrung but idiot bandmates who can't see how great I am. Here's some I recently had rejected which i'm offering in a Black Friday fire sale at just £10 each: Voodoo Baboon Human Angle The Natural Black swan Death Threat Road Of Bones

Take a book of the shelf (randomly) open it. I just did it first thing that caught my eye ... Heyday. great band name. It actually doesn't matter because a crap name in the end becomes associated with the band never the other way around. Look at Oasis. Before they chose that name only dreadful cheesy low rent Crème brûlée types would call themselves Oasis, but pretty soon the name was associated with the coolest band in the country. Yes, they were, for a while.

I agree with you.

Anyone tells you the Zoom isn't good enough for gigging is fully entitled to that opinion. However, you should suck it and see for yourself before making your mind up. I've gigged all manner of effects which I've been relieably informed are 'toys' and 'only suitable for a beginner' and believe me the fact that they are made from plastic or cost less than a pack of expensive strings did not affect the sound one iota. Glad you're enjoying it. I'm going to get one myseklf, i feel the B Four is leaving a hole in my Zoom armoury, or Zoomery (as no one ever calls it).

Careful what you wish for 😂😂😂

Absolutely - the very first thing I noticed about the yummy yammy

Effects for me have become more of a fun home hobby. I actually enjoy stripping and rebuilding boards, buying new clips and tirs for tidying cables, making patch leads, practising with ludicrous combinations of weird noises in a style unsuited to my current bands. But live, well, a bit of funky wah quack, a bit of grit and a volume boost cover most things.

was just about to start a separate thread on this. Asking what I'm doing wrong. Andy knows what he's about so clearly I must be missing something. This could explain my problem. It just doesn't do very much. The Zoom produces a lovely thick, liquid filter but the Tron seems to do very little of anything.

This has been an interesting read. Playing bass over many years has actually altered the way I perform certain tasks. Also I used to wear a 'no plectrum' badge because I believed that only guitarists trying to play bass would use one. But then a couple of years ago in an idle moment I attempted to play with a pick only to discover I couldn't! I realised in that moment that there isn't a right or wrong way, just different ways. I believe my prejudice was a result of coming to the bass via the guitar. Because I had actively to learn to play finger style, I assumed it was all part of learning to play bass. So the farther I got from the plectrum the more of a bass player I was becoming. I'm so glad I have since been taught to examine my own prejudice and not waste time examining and bemoaning the prejudice of others.

you're still teasing us with these close up detail shots!

I misunderstood. Sorry.

I have a similar issue. My Q-Tron was bought because I liked the Zoom patch based upon it. And I think the Zoom does it better.

it's too late, and I'm tired and out of gaffer tape........ sneak preview?

I love everything about this. I can't wait to show you my cardboard pedal board /flight case when it's finished.

They've got the vote???

It got stuck in my hat

Polygamy!

See this kind of baiting would have once upon a time got me up in arms, but I don't see why anyone else here would benefit from reading a point scoring political row between two strangers. Even if one of them was as charming and eloquent as me. So I let it float past.

Selflessness makes it work. And the ability to mute the very, very few agenda driven types who are so in love with what works for them they can't see why it shouldn't work for EVERYONE. Even they, I like to believe, sincerely want to help other people by sharing the truth they've discovered. The rest give so freely of their knowledge and experience it makes BC a joy to be here. Apart from introducing me to a seemingly unending way to spend money BC has introduced me to some amazingly helpful people. Just today I passed on two broken amplifiers to a guy I met at the Bash last year knowing he will sort them. My cables are made either by our own @obbm or with bits he supplied, the cabs and amps and basses I use I discovered here and almost exclusively bought here. I discovered my bass tutor here and that was the most important thing I've ever done. Even after playing bass since the early 80s I discovered the joy of being taught what I didn't know. I'm reading and writing music thanks to him and the great work of @TKenrick given freely here. Sure people will get hot under the collar about things that, in the scheme of things, don't matter. God knows I can get defensive about brands I like - which is utterly ridiculous - but when I've struggled with life folk here have offered real life, real world help, kind words, and genuine support. An online forum which enriches my life - what's not to like?

Not that I noticed, I gigged it Sunday night - some ludicrous stuff going on (up to five simultaneous effects on each unit possible) but latency didn't appear to be a problem My fabourite was a distortion featuring octave up, octave down and several overdrive, big muff type stuff going on Along with noise gates and compression As I say ludicrous but enormous fun. My original idea was to collect ms-60b pedals and do a board full of them but they're harder to come by. Still planning to do it over time. The experience of using it live actually taught me a lot about what I really want to bring in and out and what is less useful. HPF, volume boost, compression, some kind of ott gnarly distortion, envelope, chorus and an always on tubey subtle grit. Occasional flange and phaser effects are useful as are octave and synth sounds but less useful than others. I think two B3 units would be awesome. Just to deploy as six standalone pedals.
