You say that but it's even got the ultra high/low buttons of the PF range and the 5 way mid selections are the same frequencies. Seems like an odd coincidence!

I think I heard somewhere that the M is based on the Ampeg PF series. The controls are all the same. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong!

Don't know this floats anyone else's boats, but I thought the crowd here might be interested. A Thomann 70th anniversary matte finish Spector Dimension, in maple & walnut. If I had the money, I'd have ordered one already! https://www.thomann.de/gb/spector_ns_dimension_ms_4_walnut.htm

That link is already dead! Clearly wasn't meant to go live yet. They did a 7 string squier strat years ago. Strange things do happen...

That was @neepheid's acquisition. Definitely 34"... Interesting that they'd try that and do a u-turn and go shortscale on the production model.

It isn't cheap, but the Thon ME90 case should fit as it's the same size.

I was playing my Mustang a lot today. Such a great bass. Does sound alright in drop C too, despite the old strings. Tempted to intonate it and take it to band practice at the weekend...

Playing in Swindon on the 13th. Should be be a fun gig!

@danielcollinsbass I've just seen one pop up at BassBros. Might be worth a nose... https://bassbros.co.uk/product/2018-godin-shifter-classic-5/

I guess the pickguard does look to be the same shape as in the Mike Dirnt pics, plus the logo orientation is the same. Still. Could have found an example with a nicer bit of body wood for the pics... GAS dissipated.

He also had a Rockerverb head for a very short while (he has an amp buying problem), a bit more scooped sounding, but the 1 watt feature does sound attractive. The TH30 has this extra element that fills out the sound. Might be worth looking at some YouTube reviews to see what she prefers?

It's a bit of a trek for you, but this is a bargain. A more than serviceable clean channel with a great distortion channel. The guitarist in my band just got the head and it sounds great! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/640677738189512/

One tuner: TC Polytune 3 Mini - I like the compact size and how darn good it is! One drive: Joyo Ultimate Drive - I had one, it was great. Should have replaced like for like when it broke but I was feeling fanciful One fuzz/distortion: Stone Deaf Fig Fumb - I reckon this would work well for me, but I've not tried one One envelope filter: No thanks One octave: EHX POG 2 One modulation: Let's say a Boss MD-200, not sure I need it though. One preamp (doesn't have to have DI out): SushiBox Finally V2 - from what I can see, this would be perfect as an aways on bit of tube niceness One pedal that does reverb or delay (or both): Source Audio Collider - the YouTube reviews sound amazing And one wildcard...: HX-One - the get out of jail card

That looks great! You can tell the print quality is loads better. There aren't loads of extra bits that need tidying up compared to the earlier versions.

Yep, that's the badger.

I have heard of a new capturing process, I think it was on the Kemper. You take a reading at one setting, your goal, where you also enter the knob positions. Then you take two more, with dials maxed and all the way down. It then tries to make an educated guess about the travel of the knobs and how they interact.

The universe corrects itself, I won a ticket to ArcTanGent.

My wife got tickets to see Taylor Swift at Wembly on Saturday. We're nipping over on the train and getting a hotel for the night. Should be good! Feel like I need to book a metal gig to go to as well though 🤣

I'm assuming it had been split at some point and was held together with gaffa tape. It wasn't the worst bass drum sound I'd heard. Definitley not the best either though!

Played a birthday party tonight. The birthday girl saw us at our first Newport gig and liked us so much, she asked us to play. Quite flattering really! So, we were back in Newport, playing at The Cab this time. Seems to be a former 80s (?) shop converted into a venue. Decent stage, basic PA, but they do have cabs to use. I was going through a Marshall 810, which was supplying my bass sound to the whole venue. I'm pretty sure that's what an 810 is for! It was a fun gig. Felt like less pressure, and I could hear myself much more clearly than the previous gig. The only unfortunate thing was that we had to go on first. One of our guitarists probably shouldn't have OK'd a gig on the same weekend as his girlfriend's birthday, so we went on first and then he drove back to his house, and then on to Cornwall. It felt like a long night after that. Signal chain was: Combustion GX-100 Mojo Mojo Bass Big Muff ABM-600 810 And we are Hora: https://linktr.ee/horadoom Next gig is Swindon on the 13th of July, unless we get added to a bill at Moor Brewery.

So, my signal chain is: Volume block (now controlled by the FV-500) Compressor Wah (controlled by the toe button and then sweep of the pedal on the GX) Split the signal for parallel processing of: A bit of always on grit Drive Fuzz (Then out to the effects loop) Mojo Mojo Big Muff Noise gate Harmoniser (always set to octave down, switchable octave up) Delay (with weird wig out noises courtesy of the pedal in regular mode on the GX) Reverb I'm thinking abut replacing the parallel drive with another external pedal and getting rid of the parallel fuzz too. I'll see what I think after the gig tomorrow. I use it as a flexible pedalboard that I can turn elements on or off, rather than lots of different patches that I swap between.

I did some experimenting on my lunch break today. I've been using my GX-100 solely for ages now, but was wondering what some dirt in the loop would be like. Magnificent is the answer... I need to tidy it all up and get a shorter stereo cable for the FV-500H, plus I've got a current double arriving tomorrow to power my GX from the main power supply. Looking forward to testing it at our gig tomorrow!

I might want to give a Monaco a good test with all of the dirt I can throw at it, at the next SWBB if that's alright @stevie... I do wonder if I'll prefer a coloured speaker, but being able to hear myself better has me very intrigued.

What capacity is the power bank in order to give you 8 hours? I'm tempted to try it out for my multi effects.
