We need to see the Star wars board!! 😍

Well calling @jimbobothy

Had a bit of a reshuffle and went to a slightly smaller board. Gone from a classic 2 to a metro 24. The following is the signal path. Bight onion patchbox Sadowsky SBP1 DI/Preamp, (Donner tuner in the tuner output) SFX Micro Thumpinator- (under the board)to get rid of the subsonics 25 Hz and below, helps tighten the low end. FEA Optifet compressor- The ultimate pedal compressor, cali 76 and Diamond compressor sounds and more, a beauty Boss Ls2 - Back to patchbox and two loops to switch between. Channel A- source Audio C4 synth, six different Synth/ octave/filter/Bit crusher tones Channel B Aguilar Octamizer- fantastic tone with filter for octave and tilt EQ for the clean tone, tracks well. Cog Tarkin Fuzz- amazing Creamey Fuzz based on the green Russian Big muff, with a filtered clean blend (only clean lows) and mid control, and best name ever. EBS Bass IQ- latest blue label version, tons of variety and a funky analogue sound. Subdecay Baby Quasar phaser, great Analog phaser with plenty of control. TC Corona mini chorus - Tons of toneprints, currently on the "sweet emotion" setting

Got these this week! Latest version of the EBS Bass IQ, I'm a big fan of the V2 of this pedal, so thought I'd try this as it has more options. Really liking it so far, however I'm (for now) struggling to replicate some sounds I loved. From the last version. Late to this party TC Corona mini, I ditched chorus 6 months ago as I wasn't really using it, so sold my SA Gemini. Saw this the other day and it was inexpensive and small, so I thought whats the harm. Well I've been trying that toneprint with the phone thingy and I love it. Tried a few nice Toneprints and settled on Tom Hamiltons "sweet Emotion" what a fantastic sound, subtle and warm and deep, with the tiniest hint of it going into flanger territory, I bloody love it. 🤣🤣 what a pleasant surprise, I was convinced I'd be flogging it at a loss by next week.

I've just sold Phil a pedalboard! Ultra fast payment and a great fella to deal with. Thanks for a great transaction, a gentleman to the end.

I may have missed the Acinonyx section of this thread, but I got this beauty a few weeks ago. I'm still recovering from a hand operation so decided to try the shortscale vibe again. I'd previously had a Sire U5 which was a cracking little bass, which sounded great, but just felt wrong to me,it was like Honey i shrunk the Aerodyne jazz, and I feel shortscales work when they are a bit quirky and different. It's based on the Goya Panther a daft quirky Italian bass from the 60s, as im a huge Abe laboriel fan, I'd always wanted to try one. It's beautifully made and feels like a much more expensive bass than the Sire (it is). Sound wise it's very vintage and thick and dark, but surprisingly versatile, and i usually dont use pickups solo, but both these sound really good on their own, and with both pickups on, a very good slap sound is achievable . The push button tone controls don't work for me, just varying levels of mud (sounds like a tone control 50% off then fully off, which i know some people love), I'd have preffered a standard tone control, but the flat sound sounds clear and punchy, so I'll leave it there, I'm also using a sadowsky preamp pedal with it and it sounds huge. Incredibly light and a fantastic comfortable neck, and the pickups/hardware are very high quality I'll have it for a while,as ive still an op on my other hand to do. I'm so ingrained in long scale I'm not sure I'll be permanent convert, although as in 50 next month, maybe a few gigs with this, will change my mind.

EBS multicomp! Two knobs, fairly low ratio (5:1 max, min 1:1) three modes have different tones. Normal - full range and transparent Multi band - highs and lows compressed separately, very clean and articulate Tube- adds a warm colouration to the tone They can be picked up fairly inexpensively. Warning very high output basses can clip it though.
