Thanks for this! Will check them out

Already quoted this, but I should have added that I met Dimebag once (or Diamond as he was going by at the time!) - it was my very first live gig, Pantera supporting Megadeth in the Ulster Hall. Left a mark. He was very cool, unlike Mustaine and Friedman that acted like you were something to be avoided... Meeting him was a bit out of context as I hadn’t even seen a live band yet, but was mightily impressed a couple of hours later!!!

Was just about to post this...

Even the description of "for parts or not working" is stretching that one a bit!

Had my first Trace Elliot experience in 25 years last night. 300 watt series 6 head into a behringer 4x10. Don't mind telling you that my heart sank when I saw it. But it sounded clean and punchy. My ACG loved it!

Here, I'm a Ballymena man! We invented copper wire! Edit: it's a little known fact, lost in the mists of time, that Scotland was populated by folks thrown out of Ballymena for not being tight enough...

Strange actions for Scotsman!!!

Jazz bass necks for an extended period does it to me...

I see pedalparts.co.uk are releasing an Engineer’s Thumb compressor kit soon. I’m sworn off compressors myself, but might be of interest to somebody else here!

Loved that!

Love it!

It is a bit of a GAS killer and has already saved me from spending more money... like on the Alpha Omega Ultra and the X7!

About a year ago I bought a Helix floor, primarily as the centrepiece of my imagined future home recording setup for bass and guitar, but also as the front end for an frfr setup I’d thought about before realising I can’t play guitar for toffee! At the same time I sprung for the helix plugin. As I’m not playing live at the minute (may change sometime soon with the project I’ve just become involved with, but it’s early days) I’ve mostly been using a sonuus i2m as an audio interface into my MacBook and using the Helix plugin, the actual hardware helix hasn’t been turned on much, mostly as the recording setup has yet to find a permanent location in the house (I blame the kids and their ever growing Lego collection!) I know how flexible the hardware can be from playing around with the plugin, but do I really need something this flexible for live use when I’m pretty much a set and forget kind of guy when it comes to bass? Is it an extreme indulgence?

Ashdown use the same B&O ICE amp modules as Aguilar (and Darkglass... and GK... and Genz Benz... and Fender... and Traynor... and... and...), but they're more likely to look after you!

"Oh that thing. Bought it ages ago. Don't you remember me mentioning it? It's not really doing it for me. Might sell it..."
