Seriously posh pedalboard array there. Is there a thread/post on it? I'd love to know more especially about the switches at the front.

That was for sale about 4 miles from me. I think that if the seller's photos had been half as good as yours, it would have sold fast. I had no idea the figuring was that good. It's a stunner.

Who's staying which night and where? I'd rather stay the Saturday night but could make either work. I don't think I could do both.

I've updated my bit: 1. Rich - Trace Elliot TE-1200 amp, Barefaced Super 12T cab, earplugs , Shuker custom 5, Tanglewood TRB-CE acoustic bass gtr. 2. Woody - Rickenbacker 4004-L5, maybe Sei Flamboyant, Same old basschat 12" with some amp, other stuff TBC 3. Pinball (tbc) - some interesting basses 4. Stubsy - Joyo BadASS, GRBASS AT212 slim - only 50W but that should give 120dB at one metre 😇. (or I bring my TE 1110 combo). Some fun pedals. Perhaps the AVII 1960 precision, the Sire P10 and maybe the Fender Performer and something unexpected... 5. Sean - Mesa 400+, Laney Nexus Tube 400 [oh jeez], MJW Taranis 200 (Filthbox Matamp clone with extra channel and EQ), GK MBF500, GK Fusion 550, 2 x LFSys Monaco, 2 x Japanese Market Spector Euros with LHZ-03 preamps, Valenti #005 Super P, Yamaha BB1300, my small but well-appointed pedal-board (Origin Cali 76, Origin DCX, Aguilar Chorusaurus, etc) plus a mini walk-in bass surgery if interested. Plus whatever I might be selling at the time. 6. Rosie - likely I'll bring my upright, set up for bluegrass/folk/jazz if anyone's not played upright before and fancies a go 7. Phil - BassChat cabs, maybe some sort of shootout? 8. MikeD - Laney Digbeth, Zilla 212, Dingwall Combusion, Revelation PJ, pedals, try to finish home made bass🤞🤞🤞🤞 9. neepheid - G&L CLF L-1000, Yamaha BB1200, Sire D5, Sire Z7, Greco LGB-700, Reverend Triad, Epiphone Les Paul (not so) Standard, Epiphone Thunderbird '64, Squier Jaguar H (with Ibanez CAP double humbucker from ATK200/800 etc), Gear4Music rat bass (with Lace Aluma-P), £150 giggable bass challenge, 1 or 2 amps depending upon space...

I have a modest TonePump "Mountain" of surplus post-Tonepumpectomy Tonepumps looking for the right TonePump procurer if anyone would like to cross my palm with a modest amount of silver. We have Mk1 and Mk2 options and they come with the pots pre-attached. I can even fit one if mildly cajoled and modestly bribed.

I was looking for some info on SfxSound's microthumpinator as I was tring to explain to someone what it does and this old thread came up. The Microthumpinator is still first in line on my pedalboard after all these years and everything else has changed multiple times but that wonderful bit of kit remains.

Indonesia. In the end.

Me, me, me, me, me, virtue signalling, me, me, me, me. Hello mum. Annoying.

I wish I'd had a tenner on Nile Rogers at William Hill. Clear winner.

https://bassmagazine.com/spector-bass-welcomes-megadeth-bassist-james-lomenzo-to-their-family-of-artists/ I see James Lomenzo has joined the Spector roster. Makes sense to me.

Is that a US thing or does it apply everywhere?

Why is everything "discounted" on the Peavey site all the time? List Price: $4,499 Our Price $3,499 It's not like that's a retailer having a clearout, that's the manufacturer's website for a new-to-market product. What utter nonsensical crud on so many levels. Hats off to Peavey for their choice of builder, though. But I would say that based on who it is.

Thanks to a really comprehensive but easy to understand article, I've got clarity now on something that has always been an issue for me to varying degrees and has just become more evident lately with cabinet choice (TWO10 w/o tweeter). The manifestation of this issue is at its worst when you momentarily can't hear any element of your sound while performing and this causes you to make mistakes. That's not a good place to be.

I sounds glorious out front.

Looking at it, it's probably more like 3-4 feet at the last two indoor venues. Both "PA venues" with house sound guys, foldbacks. The music is standard rock covers. I agree, it doesn't seem normal but that's the reality. I can experiment with the position of the cab but it would have to be done with the band playing. At level check when it's just me hitting single notes for the sound guy, it's all tickety boo. I think it's worth reiterating that when we do soundcheck I'm setting the rig at a level where I can hear it standing on my spot, that's when they say, "too loud" and I roll off. When no one else is playing, that soundcheck volume is definitely too loud. For gigging levels, I can't hear myself properly, or I can't hear my sound, just mud.

@stevie Happy to PM me?

I tend to have my sound pretty sorted, at least it sounds good to me when I use wireless and go out front during soundcheck. I switch back to a lead for the show. It's a GK Fusion 550 (EQs mostly between 11 to 1 0'Clock). Spector, Nickel Rounds, no dirt, just some compression, and occasional chorus and EQ pedals. The last gig was fine, it was outdoors and I had some distance between me and the cab. Previous gigs have been just dreadful with the same set up. I can hear my rig OK when it's just me doing level checks but when we're playing as a band it seems to get lost on stage when I'm close to the rig.

Does it help you with on stage monitoring? You know when you're close to a rig and it's kiling the people in the front 5-6 meters away but you can't hear it, does it overcome this issue? I'm starting to lose the plot with my current rig even when it's elevated.
