From reading the Warman website I seem to remember that inductance (Henries) is as, or more, useful a measurement as resistance to estimating a pickups tone, but I can't remember why. As far as I'm concerned electricity is witchcraft.

Reverse P pickup. 😉

There's a DeArmond twin single coil pickup, black one just come up on facebook marketplace in Bristol. Comes with a Bass Centre gig bag and Laney 50w amp for £50. If I was closer I'd be grabbing that for a bit of fun. If you're near Bristol, go grab it. 😁

Why do I feel the need to be dressed as batman while playing that? It's definitely cool. 😎

And a sonically non existent but huge visual change of my Variax. Before, After,

A visually subtle but sonically strong change to my BB424X. Before picture (sorry it's blurry). After picture.

Seems fair. 😁

So you've got all the gear... But... oh what's that saying again? 😁 I'm sure you must be better than you're letting on just to have got the gig. Have you gigged on guitar before or is this a first?

I wonder if they do a fretted version for fretless basses. 🤔

Very nice Andy 😎👍. Funnily enough a black/red theme is what I had in mind for the Dano that got me out of this thread. Kind of like this.

Reminds me of my first BEX4 purchase. My wife got the email notification from PayPal after I'd sent payment. She text me asking, "What have you bought now?" I thought she wouldn't have bothered opening and reading it so replied, "Just some strings off Basschat". "What! For £280?" "Er yeah, they're still attached to a bass." 😄

We're only just over a week in and how many are out? So, talk to me about this cost of living crisis. 😄

Thanks. Yes, I have should've posted that I've since found that out, it's earlier in thread. There's just a one amp section with everything in. I've just set up a nice clean sounding bass setup and copied it to all seven presets. I'll then add some effects to them so I've got a clean, a driven, a chorus, a modern, a vintage, etc. It's a really handy little tool. I liked the Yamaha session cake that we all bought in that sale, but it still needs batteries and a separate music source input lead. With a short enough headphone lead you can just strap this on and wander around, it's great. Although foot up on the sofa like a monitor, full bassface and pelvic thrusts while playing 'Lick My Love Pump' while my wife's trying to watch TV isn't appreciated. Tssk!

Just cut a criss cross grid in the 'holdy on to' end with a stanley blade.

I've had a good play with this now and I'm liking it. Firstly I'm not a tone aficionado when it comes to practicing, as long as I can hear what I need to I'm good to go. But this little thing sounds good. All the sims are plenty good enough and the freedom it brings outweighs any downsides. I haven't found it too bass heavy either, just set the bluetooth input eq to acoustic and it's quite bright, try other settings and see what gives you the sound you're after. I don't know think the lack of a volume control is really a problem either, I've just set it to be a comfortable level and then just adjust my phones volume to match, if playing along to stuff. One problem(?) I've found is that the manual says to hold the big round button for two seconds to switch to bass mode, it doesn't do this. I'm guessing the firmware has changed and this isn't a feature any more, or it is now and I need to update. But overall it's great. Great to be able to just have bass, NUX and headphones. I've even found a short cable for my headphones so there's not even excess cable in the way.
