Mark confirms... not one of his!

@Quatschmacher Great question... not sure if I'd discovered Stringjoy at that point so likely to be D'addario EXL170, or possibly Curt Mangan Nickels! Edit.. Kinda looks like a 105 on the bottom which would suggest CMs...

@e28m54 SV for sure! More versatile. If there isn't anything up on this forum at the moment, I do know someone with one for sale so feel free to give me a PM!

Also saw Bernhoft at the Jazz Cafe this year, solo. Wasn't sure about it as I want to see him with a band so much, but the solo show was incredible and I never felt i missing out! The Stop/Shutup EP is a personal favourite of mine! His bass playing on songs like Streetlights, So Many Faces, Fly Away really gets me going!

@JPJ That is perfect... thankyou!

@SimBass Extra output always being active wouldn't be a problem 👍

@JPJ amazing! I am looking to send a separate line to a 2nd amp (powering a bass board). I am wondering whether the FX loop can just send signal when in parallel mode, without cutting the rest of the chain? Or whether there is a mode that allows the tuner out to be always active. Plan C would be to put some kind of splitter in the FX loop, but i'm dealing with an artist who doesn't want things to be any more complicated!

I don't suppose anybody here has one of these currently? Trying to troubleshoot for a friend but don't have one in my possession!

Rapid dispatch and great communication... what's not to like!

I think it's more commonplace (naturally) across the pond. I seem to find myself working with US and canadian guitarists a fair bit, some of which is reasonably complicated rock/fusion and they all communicate in this manner. Many a session with someone's scribblings in front of me! Regularly having 3/4 days notice max being able to operate this way is a godsend. My own style is somewhat of a hybrid... I use goodnotes on the ipad, and find reading my own scribbles way easier than anything typed. I also find handwriting them helps songs stick in my mind, and often means when the time comes i'm less likely to need notes anyway. In case this is of interest to anyone, here's some recent examples. Often written in the back of a van trying to hear the bass on an iphone speaker!

On the contrary, I live by NN for most of my professional work... if it's not written, i'm at least thinking in it! Such a great way to cover lots of ground very quickly and communicate with people. To the original point... I always think in the relative major! Song Charting Made Easy: A Play-Along Guide to the Nashville Number System is a really great resource for getting comfortable with the system.

Slightly lighter gauge incoming apparently... i have really fallen for these, looking forward to a slimmer set!

@scrumpymike Attendance confirmed... although I'll be running off by 2 for a gig. Do I need to send you some funds? Will have my Superbassman/610 rig, 2 Limelight Ps, 2 Sandberg TT Masterpieces, Acinonyx, pedalboards and upright with me for the shows so happy to set up anything anyone fancies trying out!
