So will that be able to carry the individual data from each string as the 13 pin does? Or will it kind of sum it up and then the device at the other end have to interpret that?

Weird - the GK Serial system completely passed me by. I'll need to research it to see how it works as I presume it's a bit more than a stereo cable. I'm glad they've made a junction box, but again they've neglected to put an effects loop on the box or the GK800

Interesting. I’m glad the GK system is still being developed. But why is there no 13 pin input on the unit, it looks like you need an external box to convert a GK signal to a 1/4” cable but surely that won’t carry the string by string information to be able to access the full potential of the GK pickup?

I had the same form UPS once, they said they'd cover the extra fee so not to worry, but I wonder if they realised that they were in fact wrong after all as it was measured properly!

OK good to know, thanks - I think that would work for me because I'm mainly looking to use it for playing ta my computer. It could fit quite neatly in front of my Bassboard so that hinge arrangement could work better actually, I didn't even consider that.

I use UPS (they have a drop off near me, so I'm not waiting in all day for collection) with Secursus protection added separately. Normally works out at about £40 in total. No problem yet, I'm not selling much compared to some but obviously until a problem happens I still can't 100% be sure. For now it's the best I can get to reassure myself. As BigredX said, it's all down to the weakest link, which could be anyone at any company any of the time. At least with this way I know the guy at the drop off but from there it's pot luck really.

My mum used to type up medical reports and she had something exactly like this for advancing and rewinding one of those tiny tapes.

Amazing, thanks, that looks bang on. Maybe I can post on Basschat using my feet one day. Thanks for the link, as long as it works on my ancient iMac then I think I'm good to go.

Ah yes very possibly, thanks I didn’t think of that.

Alright guyszz I’m thinking out loud about a pedal which could be used to control playback on Spotify. Just pause/skip back etc. I have seen this one which works with YouTube among other platforms (I’ve asked if it works with YouTube music or just video player) but it doesn’t support Spotify which is where most of my playing-along with happens, or Moises which is my next most used playback app. https://vidami.com/collections/all/products/vidami-blue I doubt there’s anything out there but I’d love to be wrong!!

And just in case you didn't believe me:

Which one are you referring to - it look like the BW model is the one for the Waze headphones, and it provides slightly more functionality than the Boss pedal.

This one I think? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09DGRQ5YP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3TQTDAPMQ4LIN&psc=1 Yeah it would great with the Orba 2!!

Someone told me about this foot switch today, and it's on offer at £79 from Amazon. It lets you do much more than the app will let you in terms of number of effects you can use at once, which might be a limitation if you tend to use the compressor/limiter like I do as an always on 'effect' https://xsonicaudio.com/pages/airstepbwedition

Hi everyone, Today I got the push notification system working on iOS. For those who don't know, this makes Basschat appear as an app on your Home Screen, and enables real time notifications (banners, sounds (not badges yet)) like you get in an app such as Facebook if someone uploads a picture of you naked. To enable this for yourself, simply save Basschat to your Home Screen as below by clicking the share icon whilst on the site: Now it'll appear on your Home Screen: Now open the 'app'. You may need to log in again. Head to Notification Settings (bell icon, then gear icon) and scroll to the bottom and click 'enable in this browser'. You'll get a system popup to confirm that you want Basschat to send notifications (which you can configure through the usual notification setting in iOS later): And now go through your notification settings one by one and activate the 'push' function as required: Any problems let me know... Cheers

Maybe you could connect the USB to the computer via a switchable USB dongle, so reconnecting is easier (switch the dongle off/on)

Thanks again. Looks about right, but think it’s meant to be a cross head job

The pdf that @Chiliwailer provided shows the screw is a 'SCREW SMA 5 X 5/8 OHP NI" but I'll be jiggered if I can find a UK equivalent

That looks amazing. Rounds.

They've arrived at Bass Direct now, if anyone wants a spare cable or clip. I spoke to them yesterday and the app will be 'a few months'

Not when you scale the bass up to match the regular scale length

Here you go, Mustang is scaled to compensate. Pickup is a bit further forward.

Thanks! It's a great sound, and really useful, it goes with so many things because it can be quite subtle if you play really lightly. The band is called MICHELLE, they're brilliant, some tasty basslines. Here's the album: The track I'm playing is called Looking Glass, and I used the Moises app to remove their (better) bassline.
