And this evening...

On in 4 minutes

I've yet to find how to assign my own controls to the top two knobs

I have had a breakthrough! I found on the desktop editor a knob assign setting. It's near the bottom and only appears to affect two of the on pedal controls, the bottom two. Labelled appropriately in the C4 but not on the Spectrum, but they're the same. I select input gain for control 1 and master for control 2 and any discrepancy in the output is easily corrected on the fly. Any failure to prompt the envelope can be adjusted on control 1. It's very satisfying.

Going to gig mine in Saturday. I'll report back.

How's this for the most unbass player like image ever?

We can't afford to light the house so it'll have to wait until morning and the sun. But if you watch Bass The World's review it's the same

Yes. 16 now. It is a thing of truly extraordinary beauty. If I had bought a bass of this quality, second hand, for double what I paid, I would have felt guilty. It's not as light as my other HBs but thankfully not as heavy as my other HB Jazz. A comfortable weight. But oh my goodness it looks so nice

I will know by this afternoon. Just heard from the courier

The plot thickens...

I apologise for misleading the house. I have 15 HBs. I missed a few. I deeply regret this matter.

Good idea!

But... they're so cheap

Any way all silliness aside I was responding to the suggestion that you weren't surprised it was heavy because it's a Harley Benton. One heavy bass out of a collection of 12 doesn't seem heavy to me was my point. If this one is a lump it'll be a shame but not what I expected.

But he's a lobster

Not me. Only one HB of all my collection is heavy. I'm surprised. Still he's a man pretending he's a lobster, we don't really need to pay too much attention to him.

Oh God I hope so

Man am I jealous.

I am by nature ill disciplined and more drawn to novelty than to repetition. So until I began taking lessons with a superb teacher my practice consisted of noodling or learning a song for a gig. Now, because I know that every two weeks I will need to show the fruits of my labours, and because the work is structured in such a way that it needs to be done daily, I work far more strictly. Most importantly I keep a diary so at a glance I can see what I've been doing and make sure nothing gets missed.

I can see the attraction https://youtu.be/e_3JdEMnafs

I shall attend to it once I get back home.
