I second this, Chris is a good guy. I’ve used Mor Music in Fishergate too who I believe now do a collect and drop service. Both were for fairly straightforward jobs mind.

Yes good call, I think TC do a cheap version which is meant to be quite good too.

The proton I sold very quickly - just didn’t like it at all for some reason. Pedals do seem to be a hugely hyped corner of our hobby (for better or worse) and it seems like it’s gone particularly crazy n recent times

Yeah, it’s not getting as much use as my old faves. I liked a lot about it though especially the colour 😃

I prefer the Wonderlove to the Proton!

Sooner or later their ‘unmoderated’ utopia was going to come crashing down when the realities of managing a number of people came knocking. I said as much but was hounded for it of course.

Does anyone else like how shiny they are 😊

Because you want to do it? 😁

I mostly use mine at home playing along to music. When I’ve used it live and practice I’ve noticed it less because I’m in front of my amp so could probably go without. But for headphones it’s essential for me now! Well of course with the floorboard too 😂

Nice, I’ve used mine for around an hour a day for over a year and it feels really weird playing without it now!

Just had an update RE the Backbeat G2 It will use a user replaceable 18650 battery giving more power and charging will be via USB3! Still sounds great - I’ve put myself down for the pre order in Feb. Waiting on info re cabling maybe next.

Just found it does eventually work if you leave it for several minutes. But still. Mind you this machine is on Catalina and an older version of Safari

It does on my phone, but desktop it loads the first part of the page then seizes. So the 'New Arrivals' age shows a few Spectors, then I scroll down and it's all white, then it freezes. Mind you this Mac is pretty ancient and it's not it's only problem!

Yes the G&L SB basses do feel like sleeker and more refined versions of their ancestors. My old SB1 with flats is like a pair of ancient jeans that feel like a second skin, combines with a pair of warm slippers. When I pick up the Stingray (pre EB slab body) it feels like a right chunky sod, but I love that about it, and for me the hand position is really comfortable - the bass isn't even very heavy, so that's lucky. I'm not that sensitive to neck width or profile, but do really appreciate the rounded feel of a played in neck.

I really wish they'd do a better website! It doesn't even work on Safari, at least on my desktop.

Me too tbh. I’m all about pretty flat EQ, compressor and touch of reverb and that’s me. I have a patch for each bass ‘clean’ Just tried the live sets thing and it doesn’t work like I expected (changing the six patches you can cycle through to a different ‘set’ - instead it seems to give you more presets to select but by going through the library section. Tbh the app could use some work, but like you I rarely need to open it so it doesn’t bother me 👍🏼

Just made a nice little stand for them! Used an old laptop stand which has rubber inside to protect the contents. Also put some command strip on the side of the big, stand and headphones so I can snap them together when required. Wife isn’t impressed for some reason

A couple of people were banned from Basschat years and years ago - I can't really remember why but it was all a storm in a teacup I think which got blown out of all proportion... so the guy went and set up Finnbass which I was told would steal all of our active membership within a year. It didn't, and seemed to me to be a place built initially for people to go and complain about Basschat (I was banned for some reason, I think I signed dup to defend myself against a totally untrue accusation) It was a really useful place for us actually because every time someone kicked off or disagreed we would be able to say 'hey, join Finnbass, you'd like it' - and they did for a short while. But once the anger had died down there was little else left, with one or two members in particular really flogging a dead horse to try and.. well, I don't know what. I didn't have a problem with the founder (we spoke about his beautiful staffie Spike a few times) but it was interesting to read some of the perspectives and views held by the members about us. We probably learned a few things along the way. It's a shame it's gone; I thought the owner was moving to a new forum system to cater for a wider range of equipment but maybe not. All water under the bridge for me, anyway. Coming next - Bassworld - Basstalk - Basschat - the FBI Files ped

Has anyone tried the ‘live sets’ feature in the library section? Currently I’m using each stored channel 1-6 for clean patches of each bass, but wondered if the live sets could be made for each bass individually and then use channel 2-6 for that bass with certain effects? It doesn’t really explain that in the manual (and I’m not interested in downloading or sharing my patches)

I think the EWS Stormy Bass Drive is amazing. Really clever pedal with such a usable range of sounds and useful controls. I'd love a BMC2 but can't find one at the moment!

Sorry I forgot to update. Padding is about 30mm from outside bag to inside. The foam is quite stiff and feels up to the job. Let me know if you want anymore pics of anything in particular. One thing I’ll say is whilst the bag is comfy it does wear quite high. But then the ones that sit lower are a pain. I think it’s a good all round bag for the price!

This thread has been decimated by the photobucket hosting grab - maybe we should start a new one?

This thread could do with a bump!! I just saw that there’s a fretless Kiloton Tribute now. Sounds great:
