I don't think it's hugely steep. I've just been experimenting with Low EQ on a B3n - thought I might as well eliminate at least some subsonics. Setting frequency to 40Hz on a 4-string and 20Hz on a 5-string makes no difference to the audible sound. I've put the Low EQ as the very first stage, before a compressor stage, so the compressor isn't getting phantom sounds to compress. I did some experimenting with changing the frequency to see what the effect was, and there didn't seem to be a huge roll-off as I increased the frequency. It may be relevant that I'm doing this through a Line 6 G50 wireless to avoid having to disturb my pedalboard, and that might have some sort of HPF in it. I really ought to get round to putting together a Sallen-Key filter.

Neck dive? What's that?

Where I've replaced preamps in my basses, it's been with Delano Sonars. I put one into my first Sei as the original Bart preamp had failed and the bass is very shallow, so there were physical limitations on the replacement. After being very happy with that, I used it for my first Antoniotsai as part of an electronics upgrade, and most recently replaced an Aguilar OBP-3 in another Sei with the Delano. I found the OBP-3 to be pretty much unusable with anything other than everything set flat - the boost and cut is vicious.

Just had a look at the available software for assorted Zoom pedals, and saw that there's a recently updated GuitarLab (not that that's much cop compared to ToneLib) and, more significantly, a release 2.1 of the B3n firmware. I shall be loading that into mine tomorrow. And speaking of ToneLib, that's up to 3.7.2 (which I have yet to play with) and now includes the new B1 Four and its other variants.

?

And you don't want to buy from a dealer with a bad Attitude.

One of my Antoniotsais is sycamore. It's lovely.

Why is it that it's considered a good thing to have something relicked to look like that, but if it had attained that look by the normal means of being dragged behind a car and then left in a pond for a year, it would be rightly considered as being horrible? I wouldn't want to touch that without rubber gloves on.

Fence sitting over. Have PMed Stevie.

For further information, I have a Line 6 G50 on one pedalboard, and a Smoothhound which gets used with a Zoom MS-60B as my other "pedalboard". I don't notice any latency with the Smoothhound, I just have a bit of a problem connecting the Smoothhound and MS-60B because of the way short leads are, and because the Smoothhound receiver is so light.

Late to the party but - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6x1-5V-AA-2A-CELL-Battery-Batteries-Holder-Storage-Box-9V-Case-With-Lead-Wire-T9/302965512945 plus a 5.5/2.1mm power connector, positive centre, would give you a 9V AA supply. Just hold the battery box and receiver together with a laccy band.

I'm shifting over to an X-Air XR12 but I've been using a Behringer Xenyx 1002B. I like it as it has sliders for FOH on each channel rather than rotaries, but still keeps a quite small footprint by clever control layout. https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Behringer-XENYX-1002B-Mixer/AM5 However, it doesn't have built-in effects.

Probably wants it gone from his hallway.

So where did the mudbucker and third control go? Lost in the refin?

If it's any comfort, autocorrect on an expensive tablet is just as good.

Having gone from a prog rock covers band to a 80s cover band, anything between 2 and 15. Generally, 11-13. Rather fewer for the prog tribute band I'm in.

I've got a pair of Delano J pickups - swap you for the bass?

bandwerkz.com is good. If you're in multiple bands and they all use it, band members' other gigs can be shown which helps avoiding diary clashes.

And then I suppose it will be new string time...

I went with a different cat one. Yes, that is my cat. Or I am his human, whatever.

Bad Company - Can't get enough of your love, Feel like making love. Hackneyed but you may decide to abandon fretted altogether as you can play everything fretless. Marillion - Sugar Mice. Like much of Pete Trewavas's work, it's more like an extended bass solo than a song, as he plays so many variations. Gets you up the neck (and discovering what an impediment the Fender neck joint is). Any Paul Young/Pino Palladino song. Any other song that you fancy. Just because it was originally done on a fretted bass doesn't mean you can't play it on a fretless. I generally use a fretless for gigs with the covers band and the originals band.

Didn't I say headless was the way to go?
