Happy Jack

I assume that cable came in through the Dumble door?

I'm thinking that this could have been phrased better. Maybe not.

Arguably, strings that weren't noisy would be pointless ...

I have the Nano and it's great ... so long as you really, really mean to restrict yourself to four or five pedals, or if you're happy routinely re-building/re-configuring your board between gigs. If you can't be sure about that, you'll need something bigger. Power supply? Easy ... check out the Diago Powerstation. Great product, and it's British, and they do excellent customer service & backup. Flight cases seem like a great idea until you have to lug one in and out of gigs. The flightcase will routinely weigh four or five times as much as the fully-loaded board. The empty flightcase is also a bloody nuisance at gigs. There are some very good pedal board + protective cover things out there, and the pedals themselves only really need protection from rain ... they're designed to be stamped on!

If you're going to patronise people (that means "talk down to" for all you thickies out there ) then at least learn to spell pigeon.

12 year olds and TV studios? You must be talking about

In fairness, there were about five basses around at the time with remarkably similar appearances, all from different Japanese manufacturers. I've often wondered if that was the main reason that SGC Nanyo failed ... they were up against the likes of Ibanez and Yamaha, and their products didn't look particularly distinctive.

I can still remember a Basschat topic about these swirl finishes maybe 10 years ago!

And don't forget Pan's People.

Evidently not. Maybe it got lost in translation, eh?

... what on earth is this actually FOR? http://www.tonebone.com/bumper.php

Yup, you'll have no problem taking an XLR from your DI Out socket to the board, whilst also - if you choose - driving your normal bass rig. You should also have a Pre/Post switch on the DI Out which determines whether what goes to the board is affected by your settings on the amp.

And if you liked that, then you have GOT to hear this:

The last time this happened to me, it turned out to be a slightly loose 'elephant ear' on one of the tuners ... nothing to do with the trussrod at all, despite what I believed.

I love Stuart's work (he taught me to play, even though he doesn't know it) but that's challenging for Lesson #1!

That was dub he wanted, not flobbadob.

Shortscale with flats. Sorted.

Paid rehearsal, innit?

I didn't post that link because I wasn't sure it counted as a genuine ABY pedal. As it happens, it seems this is what Stew is looking for, and it was what I needed when I bought one, but it's actually an instrument selector ... it does 2 x instruments into 1 x amp. I now need (occasionally) to do 1 x instrument into 2 x amps, so I've bought a cheap Fender ABY (unbuffered, no level controls) which can do either 1 --> 2 OR 2 --> 1 depending on my needs.

I use something similar to the OP, except that I use either a Crazy 8 or a Crazy 88 as my cab. Not familiar with Soundelirium.
