In the process of updating my board at the moment. I compared my clean signal, straight into amp, to my signal through the board and concluded that I need a bypass strip... Looking at the Gigrig Quartermaster (relay tru-bypass + pretty expensive) or Brightonion (3PDT tru-bypass - Cheaper but more possibility of popping?). Any recommendations?

I really enjoyed the show and got inspiration from unexpected places. Frank Bello and TM Stevens made come away really wanting to play, despite being players that I've never listened to! I appreciate Jeff Berlin's skills, but afraid that he had the opposite effect on me... Really enjoying my Ortega Uke-bass. Wife also appreciates that I can sit on the couch with a bass and not take up all the space! Some photos: Got in early for this comp and made it to the advertising!

[quote name='goblin' timestamp='1393708179' post='2383674'] I went down this morning with a mate, had to leave at quarter to 6 in the morning, urgh! Was certainly one of the better visits though. It wasn't quite as full, and yes there was slap, but not so much that it was irritating, and I only did it once to get it out of the system (on Dave Swift's Fodera, poor thing ) Had a cracking time though, starting with being collared by T M Stevens who complained I didn't fist bump him hard enough, so had to do it again haha. Caught up with plenty of faces including Tom Kent, Dave Swift, Barrie (Molan) and the list can go on and on, but the highlight was meeting Leland Sklar... I'm a happy chappy now! [/quote] Ha, I saw that meeting with TM - was just behind you mate! "Hit me like a man!"

Good day today (Despite enduring some minor food poisoning from a previous night...). Came away with an Ortega bass uke, but it was agreed with the missus in advance, so all good! Highlight was Frank Bello's masterclass - the guy was just having too much fun!

Well, I've set myself up in the smallest hotel room in the world... Seriously wondering how they managed to fit a *single* bed in here... Still, it's in the shadow of the Olympia so it's all good!
