It's awful you would hate it

It's an interesting pedal. It kind of sounds like its name. It doesn't fit with much of what I play live but it's fun to add it here and there. I guess I use it something like a bubbly rhythmic auto wah. Ish.

Just ordered mine. Nate Navarro's video is a bit of all right.

Not heard of him. I have now though! Thank you.

The latest iteration of my basic bi-amp board. Some pedals seem to have found a 'permanent' home, others keep changing still but I'm definitely getting closer. The Ampero has three switchable effects and a tuner on the extension switch and is doing a lot of preamp, signal splitting, compression, noise gate type stuff in the background.

Actually that is what I've been doing. Odd.

That's the problem - ta!

I had a dalliance with the MM pick up but in the end as I didn't know many of the songs we played I just stuck it on the P pup and left it - lots of sight reading and concentration!

I will pay for the information!

I have not

Anyone know why my YT vids are coming up as links instead of the video?

Listen to the bass on this beauty... https://youtu.be/FWT2WBkPtfE

We took our Bandeoke show to the Blue Lagoon in Bristol last night. First time there, and sadly a very quiet night. However those who were there couldn't have been more enthusiastic, one young woman even came up and gave us a 20 quid tip! The dearth of punters meant we basically played a two hour request show. I used my new HB 25th anniversary bass, Bugera Veyron into Barefaced Compact and jolly good it all was too. Just after we had finished the pack down a rugby team walked in. If only they'd been an hour earlier....

I can honestly say I had it hung round my neck for over two hours straight last night and I did not notice the weight. I do use a wide Gruvgear strap, but I believe it is the perfect balance of the bass makes it work.

Beautiful instrument. Wonderful sound, played like a dream. I love it.

First time out with the new HB. Bandeoke in Bristol. Sounded glorious in the soundcheck.

Looks fabulous

Love it

I love it. Reverend basses are the best.

The only drawback is the weight. It isn't light. As I say not a problem for me given how well it balances but I know that is a major consideration for others

Oh dear. Bad luck mate.

I've just had a preliminary noodle after inspecting for any marks or holes. It's really very good indeed. Set up to my tastes and in tune out of the box, it plays like a dream. I don't worry myself about the weight of instruments, so have not the means to scientifically measure this aspect. However, it feels about the same as my HB Enhanced Jazz. Too heavy for some of you, no doubt. I have to say that the balance is perfect, and with a wide strap it felt fine to me. The versatility of sound is the first thing I noticed. With the pick up selector in the middle and tone similarly set to neutral we have a pleasant middley kind of sound. Not nasal, warmer than that, but the kind of noise which is nicely audible in most band situations. Just nudge it towards the P pup and hang on tight - this beast can roar. It's a really powerful, and rounded Precision sound, fair leaps out at you. Dial it back to the MM pup and you have that classic funky freshness. Lighter, jaunty and altogether more musical. The active treble and bass controls are responsive and very hot. This needs to go into the active input unless you really want to drive the gain stage. The most important thing is of course how it looks. It's bloody gorgeous. Firemist is a wonderful marketing term for the deep golden copper colour. The black binding and pickguard compliment it in quite a classy way - but that is purely subjective. As the kids say, your mileage etc etc. The neck is a lovely hunk of wood, and the whole ensemble looks and feels good to me. This concludes my first impressions.
