Zoom MS-70CDR(+) perhaps, the Plate Reverb and HD Hall Reverb have a Lo and Hi which adjust the damping on low and high frequencies.

According to the blurb, OnSong does MIDI, and you can get Bluetooth MIDI (eg https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008408092026.html) so maybe select the song on OnSong and have it send the MIDI PC signals to select the patch and mode (if you want to be in stompbox mode for some and snapshot mode for others).

The open mics I go to are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays - not at major music venues either. The Tuesday one does sometimes have bands in, on a Saturday. Are you seeing a lot of Saturday night open mics in Bournemouth?

There's an interesting article on the subject here. The resonant peak is also linked to the frequency that the 2nd order low pass filter takes effect and cuts treble, so presumably if you wanted to retain treble you wouldn't want to drop the resonant peak too far. It does make me wonder what the difference in effect of cable length would be between an active and a passive bass, as the pickups are isolated from the cable in the active bass but not the passive one. While the capacitance of the cable would be the same, there would be no interplay between that and the pickups on the active bass, but presumably it would directly affect the resonant peak on the passive bass.

I put a DiMarzio pickup in my Precision. I couldn't hear any of the much-vaunted difference.

Prog metal reggae?

Amplified busking means that people working in the vicinity are having it thrust upon them regardless of the merits of the busker in question. I'm not opposed to unamplified busking, I've done it myself.

There's a variety of Ibanezes to be found at that sort of price, and a few Corts. Sub Ray5 HH on your list is also good, nice neck. Could you elaborate on "ergonomics" as judging by what you've said about the Ray5 you actually mean compact. If that's what you're after, have a look for an SGC Nanyo Bass Collection eg https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1865927017481227/ - small body and headstock, nice players.

Duran Durin

Fluidsynth? Available on Android, not sure about iOS.

"You'll never push fit me alive, copper".

Prohibit amplified busking. Also, when buskers are being prosecuted, tell the judgethat they were protesting for Just Stop Oil and their sentences will start at five years.

I want to drop Paranoid (I have problems playing it due to a damaged right hand which means rapid alternate picking is problematic). However, the drummer is a Sabbath fan so for now it stays in.

Whatever's good for metal.

A bit more on the app and the Spark NEO device. When you switch on the Spark NEO, it goes looking for the last Bluetooth device it connected to, and then other paired devices if it doesn't find it. This is regardless of whether the Spark app is running on the device. So if you want to change the device you want to run the app on, or which you want to play music on, you have to mess around with the Bluetooth settings connecting to the headphones. This is unlike the Boss Katana:GO which will happily play audio from any device that it is paired with. The main purpose for me is to play music on a device and play along to it, so this is, while not actually a deal killer, a significant inconvenience.
