He’s been getting jiggy

I think Customs & Excise have this on a prohibited items list 🚫

Yes maybe like a sort of 'in joke' between musicians who notice these things - for example if I was asked to mime on TOTP I'd have a custom Vigier made with no strings or pickups.

She’ll understand

Brilliant news Dood, BGM are lucky to have you.

You could have been her hero. She told me she loves graphite necks 💓

You might want to contact her and ask

Thanks, she’s a gonner.

I believe you need a different one - the other is a stereo jack I think. I had the same issue when I replaced one and was told to get the exact same jack. I can find the part number if it helps.

Seems to fit the pattern of about 100 a year

I’ll have to watch it properly but apart from the arpeggiator (which I don’t understand) I don’t know what it offers over the VB99. Anyone able to point that out?

Yes possibly, I had a 1991 BT5 before this one but I can't remember the serial... @Mastodon2 has it now

I haven't added my '84 BT4 here yet so here we go! Serial number 151

Looks amazing - I can hear it just by looking at it!

That and other reasons

I’m not sure what it offers over the VB99 though really - and I know I’m in the huge minority here but I much prefer the ‘desktop’ format of the VB99 for playing at home in my pants

Then I’ll require a hefty bribe

Oh ok. I think I read there are 11 bass models in this so presume that’ll cover the VB99 types plus more but unclear whether it’ll let you move virtual pickups about like you can in the VB99. Probably have to wait for a manual I think.

If that was the question lol let me know if I can help further 😎

The VB99 can be used with a GK pickup for full access to polyphonic stuff or with a regular pickup for use as a multi fx. I think the GR55 only works with a GK

Just let me know what you’d prefer and I can make it so!

There are several comparisons online but with all streaming quality settings on max, there’s very little to choose - some reviewers said some songs sounded better on Spotify and others sounded better on iTunes. I tried Tidal for a while and it sounded great but twice the price and as my Hifi amp has Spotify connect that just makes more sense - I also find Spotify’s algorithm recommends me music more accurately than the others. Apparently Spotify are bringing out a ‘lossless’ type service to compete with Tidal soon, too.
