I'm the worst person to ask as I've either been incredibly lucky with all my HB basses or I don't notice the problems other people find so irksome. The jazz basses are heavy, sure, but they balance so well it isn't an issue. I'm old, bad back, shoulder injury and I've done two gigs in the same day with the jazz without a problem. All the other basses are beautifully light, play like a dream and sound splendid.

Tomorrow!

God you're a miserable judgemental bunch aren't you. If they enjoyed making it then good luck to them.

Gig number 2 on Saturday was at The Barrington Arms. Lovely landlord, nice boozer and a willing crowd got us over the finish line. Singer had a nasty cough and was losing her voice so we skipped a few of the more trying tunes and stretched others out to fill the time. All good.

Played at Bristol City's football ground this afternoon, entertaining the red and white scarfed hordes before the game. Not sure the crowd there gathered were particularly bothered but good to do two gigs in one day.

I shall reserve judgement until I have given it a good go. But hopefully I get on ok with it. I'm genuinely intrigued to see what this one is like. It's by far the most expensive HB I've ever bought - will that affect my judgement I wonder?

I empathise with these sentiments

I've cracked. It's on the way.

I tried to record it yesterday but Audacity kept crashing. I'll give it another go later

Let us know how you get on @thisisswanbon

Well, I don't like to be contrary...despite my reputation 🫣 But I have just run through all the presets I've saved playing along to a backing track, splitting the output to two amps (one direct the other the effect) and I can't detect any problems 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gigged with the Ampero last night. Not an effectsy kind of band so used it as a preamp with some compression and tone shaping, just using the power amp section of my amplifier. In fairness the Barefaced cabs I used make anything sound great, but it really was remarkably good. Used the Squeezer comp and Ampeg pre and every note was even, punchy and crystal clear. Well, not exactly clear, as it had a bit of rough around the edges, but I could hear it clearly. Impressed.

Brilliant thanks

First time at the Jubilee Club in Cirencester last night. Pleasantly surprised by the venue; nice stage, well lighted, friendly staff and punters. They seemed to like it. I got paid. ✔️

I haven't worked it out yet. It's a really crazy pedal!

Hi @Chienmortbbquick question: Can the expression pedal input also be used for a dual footswitch?

That looks really cool.

Bought another pedal from Chris. An utterly painless, swift and simple transaction. Chris is the embodiment of what makes Basschat such a great place.

Had a quick play to make sure the update worked, otherwise not has the opportunity to get a good look. But I like the Tone Hammer clone from the little I've tried it

Cheers man I installed the drivers. The only indication the laptop gave was a standard 'the last device connected has failed' type message. And that only occasionally.

I'll see if I can get close and record a bit. Won't be yet though I'm on granddad duties
