Looking forward to seeing you again. What are you bringing?

The behemoth I commissioned was mainly distortions drives and boosts, Just a hugely expensive noise box really. For me the ultimate multi effect would have at least 8 switches, assignable in any way I liked, parallel processing, a good compressor, some great synth sounds, a clean boost separate from distortion and fuzz, a really bubbly watery auto wah, a pedal for manual wah, a phaser, a chorus and a flanger. It would be instantly responsive (no lag) and have external control via a smart phone or tablet. Be bluetooth compatible and with a proper DI out. Be as physically small as possible, rugged construction and a really simple user interface.

It's not a high output. Can't give you numbers, just anecdotal evidence. But when I switch between basses it's one on which I have to increase the gain.

....Unless we set up a Thomann syndicate of course.

I can't respond to this without infringing the rules on duscussing politics. But yes. The op needs to buy more stuff to get his cheap strings really cheap.

They're great value. Nothing wrong with the quality. The problem is unless you buy a bunch of other stuff the postage puts the price up

I have not, and will never, stop buying amps. You never know...

Poor guy!

Myself and @Skinner just completed a pedal swap. Smooth as a David Niven chat up line. Happy to recommend this excellent Basschatter to the community.

Thomann. Seriously. Just read the specs on their gig bags. https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_safecase_80_e_bass_bag.htm

Just concluded a transaction with Matt. One of my favourite things to do - the old motorway services meet up. It's not quite dogging but I still came away satisfied. Matt's a smashing bloke to deal with and I'm more than delighted to join the chorus of approval for him.

A bassist after my own heart

What a gorgeous, and compact, rig. My envy levels are in the red

No I haven't tried that one...yet. Impatient as ever I went for what was available. I have since bought the Valeton GP100 which at about 100 quid is astonishing value. Solid, child's play to program and sounds great. Also the Mooer Prime P1 which is just brilliant. Tiny, simple to tweak via a phone, it takes multi effects to another level. Let me know if you try the MG30.

I got an offer I couldn't refuse...so it passed.

Just discovered a method of emergency gas proofing. Found myself watching a video demo of a bass synth pedal (available here) and realising the danger I was in I switched to a video demonstrating a synth pedal which I already own ! Seeing all the possibilities available to me my gas valve closed and I found myself wanting to go play with the toys I actually have in my collection. It was miraculous. Doubt it will last mind you .
