Would Maruszczyk build one to order? They seem happy to accommodate different scale lengths, but I haven't seen any thru-necks from them.

Well I'm getting rather busy now but that won't put me off a bit of shameless self-promotion!

Never tried one, but the Aguilar Octamizer sounds good to me on demos that I've heard. You can turn down the synthiness too! Compressor-wise, I love the Origin Effects units. I have full-size Cali76 (great for recording bass) and the SlideRig Compact (fantastic on guitar), and they now do a Cali76 Compact Bass pedal (again I have yet to try this).

Definitely. I'm not going to spend my money on stuff that doesn't sound, feel, and LOOK absolutely bitchin'!

Good call on the Pitch Black - best tuner I have had, tiny current draw when not in use, and true bypass (to which it also defaults when the power goes down).

Dave bought a bass from me. Excellent communications, and a pleasure to meet in person. At the moment Dave is very much a forum newbie, but don't let that put you off, he is a genuine chap.

Bear in mind Fender Jazz pickups used to be different sizes, but I believe Squier and some copies no longer follow this and make both pickups the same size:

They even stream the show live with a 5 camera production team. I'm still speechless. [/quote] Is that a PF50T I see there? How is it working out for you?

The clip-on tuner doesn't help!

Your setup seems the most flexible but uses a lot of cable. You can daisy chain signal connections between powered speakers, but you don't want to connect a speaker-level output to a line-level input!

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' timestamp='1469627426' post='3099843'] I know how you'd do this in Audacity - after snipping out the between-song-guff, you place a label on the timeline at the start of each track, with the label title being the name of the track. You then use the "Export Multiple" menu item. [url="http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/export_multiple.html"]http://manual.audaci...t_multiple.html[/url] S.P. [/quote] Now that's useful to know!

There is a lot of *ahem* dislike for that song on this forum, particularly among those of a jazz persuasion, and especially for the bass line!

I often use compression on electric guitar when playing live, to embiggen(TM) the sound. I also used a bit of Spectracomp live on bass when I had a TC head with it built in, but I love the simplicity of the bass-lead-amp setup and I just can't bring myself to faff around with pedals.

Maybe the buffer is also boosting the signal to a level that the compressor's make-up gain can't match?

You can actually get these, albeit without that text - basically a switchable volume control that sits in the guitar amp's effects loop.
