I would agree with that. Otherwise there would be a big gap between the 20th and the 22nd!

If you are a guitarist maybe, to 95% of the audience a strat and les paul sound the same. An acoustic, that sounds different, and there is justification if something else is in completely different tune. In my last group, the guitarist had an acoustic guitar, his strat for almost everything else, and another odd guitar that he used just for plug in baby, which sounded just right and was apparently easier to play it with.

Here we go, the Master CTM-100, daddy of all other CTM-100s. And very nice it is to (although I would imagine probably as nice as all the others, even if it has different knobs). Currently using it through my pair of TC 112s, but the downside of that is that it only fits lengthwise on them. Currently not that much of an issue as it tends to be beside me rather than behind me everywhere I play, so I can access it well. Probably would be nice with a barefaced twin or something. The knobs are nice. Can't say that most of them do anything you would expect, but nice to have options!

Probably the same, yes, it has quite a wide range, you can do a passable wahwah effect with it! Oh yes, looked on bass direct, that is the same model line, so by default it is volume, balance, bass/treble stacked and mid/mid frequency stacked. Its the 4 string that even though I only really play 5 strings I wouldn't sell.

My ibanez SR1000 has one of those from the factory. They used to be more common before the switchable frequency thing they have now. Well, the 5005 also had one but its control was so poor I replaced it with a glockenklang

Cool? It can be b*** freezing!

If the passive circuit doesn't work without a battery, it is, by default, not passive!

Any bass with a locking bass socket is likely to be changed. Although I use wireless most of the time, if I am using a cable and someone trips over it, something on the cable has to give, or the bass gets dragged across the floor. The other option is the plug comes off the cable or the socket comes out the bass. Or the socket comes out of the amp, which is harder to quickly fix! other than that, the normal. 24 frets active 5 string battery compartment luminay side dots (if not leds)

You think if they hadn't stopped you playing, it would be easier to keep everyone inside!

I assume that the preamp - the Spectradrive Bass Preamp & Drive Pedal does

If I was going to actually spend real money on it, it would have to be one of the others, 1306 / 1406 etc, I am not as keen on the plain mahogany but first I need to see if I could live with a 6, so cheap is the way to go!

Still haven't bought into the 6 string world yet. Had the GVR36 for a while, but the neck was just too wide for me, even though the string spacing at the bridge was glorious. Considering I have a SR705, 1000, 1605 and 5005 (and previously had a 505, 805 etc) it would be logical to get some kind of SR. Maybe I just need to pick up a cheap 506 and see if I can get used to it!

I am surprised they get a chance for much else! I am also surprised that Poland is so low.

Well, if you wanted to join a metal band, this would show you what country you needed to go to (hint, its Finland) America is 72 for balance. I am guessing more around the edges. https://jakubmarian.com/number-of-metal-bands-per-capita-in-europe/

Yep, have one, I don't use it much because I don't do much fretless but it is a nice bass

That would be your rock, pop AND country sorted in one go!

I have friends in Canada that are still gigging most weekends. Don't know who their audience is, I never asked. I presume that it is all Brian Adams and Shania Twain covers?

Yeh, I can see that being popular

Was that really disallowed? I would say that means that the test cycle was a non realistic test, if it was something that a car detects as abnormal, and unrelated to what happens on the road.

first gig I took the ctm100 to, when i was listening to it and setting it up, someone said I should turn it down. I pointed out why would I listen to a crazy man?

My wife (who is Canadian) would be offended at that statement

True, people used to die in large numbers due to the pollution, pretty well like it is in china now. I don't remember london, we didn't go there, but I remember the brick in Bath was black when I was young, it is now light yellow. No, maybe not, but they would change a bit, and they would change locally for us quite a bit. And if you said yourself, if we refuse to buy anything that was made under those conditions, maybe it would have an effect. no, they shouldn't be throwing stinky poo in the air and we should be doing whatever we can to stop them. China / India, hardly that underdeveloped, they both have a space program and nuclear weapons. They know how not to pollute. Unfortunately with brexit and all, our chance of influencing anyone is reducing, but we can certainly choose what and who we deal with. Ultimately, I don't think we are disagreeing on anything really. I hate that - Volkswagen didn't 'cheat' the standard. The test was there they made something that passed it, ie, they didn't falsify and documents or anything, they really did pass that test that they had to comply with. That the test was stupidly flawed and easy to pass without sticking to the 'spirit' or idea of what the test was about is another matter, but that is human nature, amplified 100 times for a commercial business. You can go out tomorrow with a volkswagon bought at any normal dealer from that era and pass that test. The people who should have been dragged over coals (or maybe, warmed electric bricks these days), were the people that set up such an easily cheatable test that was not related to real world use. Its not hard to do a non cheatable test, the people who found out that they were not doing what they should set one up.

Breaking my golden rule of *if someone uses the word 'snowflake' in any conversation they are probably talking out of their behind*, surely these 'snowflakes' you a referring to are more likely to be boycotting Chinese and Indian steel (and the US, also one of the big polluters, but probably too expensive to matter) as ethics would matter. It would be the opposites of snowflakes, which I don't know what that is, I guess gammons if we are reducing everything down to childlike terms that will be buying the stuff that is the cheapest and less ethical? And I would say that the reason for getting rid of pollution in a city is not just to make the world a better place (and personally I am not sure that the 40th biggest city removing pollution is actually a bad thing) but to make that city a better place?

Oh yes, one thing you notice going to london. Public transport is a dream there, as it should be as it gets many times more investment per capita then anywhere else. Nowhere else in the UK has public transport is as good as London.

It doesn't really work that way round. The pedals are the same as if you have effects pedals, so you have an effect per pedal. So if you have effect A and effect B on, you can't switch effect C on to cancel the other two, you would need to switch A and B off. So make the clean sound you want, and then turn the other effects on when you don't want them
