Some SGC Nanyo Bass Collection genes there. I should leave the decal, especially if it's the only identification.

I put mine into 4ch mode and use it as a 4-channel mixer.

Alexei Sayle already nailed that one. "There are two kinds of jazz, and they're both crap!"

The bass I've had the longest is my Yamaha BB800, which I bought second-hand in 1979 from the estimable Charlie Carter, who ran the Sounds Acoustic music shop in Chester Rd, Manchester. The instrument I've had the longest is the English concertina that I started to play in 1974. 50 years this year. Kin 'ell.

I've done this with my TecAmp Puma combo for years and never had any issues with feedback.

That's a fine example of what I'd expect to see labelled Americana, but to me it's not a bluegrass band. No fiddle, no 5-string banjo, no mandolin. The definition for bluegrass is pretty narrow and doesn't include accordions.

I play in an old-time Appalacian band called East Creek Union. We've played at Red Rooster, the sadly defunct Orwell Bluegrass festival and Folk East. This year we're doing Maverick. Red Rooster in particular has a very wide ranging definition of "Americana" encompassing old-time, bluegrass, country, blues, rockablilly, new orleans style street jazz, country rock and people like Pokey Lafarge who dont' really fit into any category. I like going to Red Rooster, I hear a lot of acts there I wouldn't otherwise come across. The UK America Music Association who I believe are invoved in booking acts for Red Rooster and maybe other festivals too. We certainly can't get a sniff despite having played there in the past. They have slots at certain events for members to apply. I was thinking about joining, but I don't like the T's and C's which require you to sign up to a Continuous Payment Authoritty (CPA), I'm not keen on that idea.

Why would anyone blindly follow a QR code, especially for something important? You have absolutely no idea where you are going to end up. Security 101 - don't use QR codes!

The pickups look like the bridge pickup on a TRB5P, or an RBX 550 . None of the RBXs seem to have that scoop at the end of the neck that extends past the end of the curved fingerboard. RBX fingerboards seem to be square with a truss rod at the end of the neck.

Another Zoom H4 user here. Does the H1 have any inputs to take a feed from the bass? I can only see one 'microphone' socket which presumably replaces the built-ins.

Size is 10mm but it's a fine thread. It'll still work without the nut. Put the strap on the button, then clip the straplock onto the button on top of it.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, in England and Wales you have 6 years from the date of purchase to seek a remedy from the retailer, for goods which have failed within a reasonable lifespan for the product. This is independent of any manufacturers warranty. After 6 months you have to demonstrate that the equipment has failed prematurely.

I agree with @fretmeister, just record vocals and run everything else direct into a DAW such as Reaper or Garageband, through an interface. For value it's pretty hard to beat the Behringer XM8500, these are on a par with an SM58 and 1/5th the cost. For an interface, there is a lot of second-hand choice. Focusrite and Presonus are popular.
