  1. The on off debate mid song/set is bunkum, we all know that it makes a difference, and we have probably all heard it making a difference. Plenty examples of a bass not even being in a band and people don’t recognise a difference. Cadillac Three have no bassist, Tower of Power recently did a gig on their tour with no bassist due to illness and the keys man filled in, most of the audience prob didn’t notice or care. The bottom line is if compression made no difference, it would cease to exist, but across all instruments (voice included) recorded and live there is compression going on. Its equally as important to have a live sound balanced as a recorded sound for the whole experience in the audience and compression will help to achieve that. Its nice to see a diagram showing what it can do, naysayers will still say nay.....
  2. Great looking bass Well that ‘have’ the colour now somewhere in their palette. Give them a shout - they will prob do it!
  3. Call it pau ferro Customs Will have no idea
  4. Glock Aguilar Noll East DG Even a Stingray pre amp They will all work fine
  5. Yep - first hand prices are chronic. There was a rumour of a bass and I would be interested in that for sure, but I am not a small chap so it could look ridiculous
  6. Ha! The FM3 though more expensive than the stomp actually makes complete sense when paired with the FC6 controller, and that brings it more in line cost-wise with Helix, Plus you have 48 blocks! My guitarist is always on the look out for a potential St Vincent, but they are hens teeth
  7. Those St Vincent’s are absolute corking guitars, and musicman guitar necks are some of the best around, I quite like the looks as well. Sounds like that chap could do with the Fractal FM3
  8. Agreed with @bigsmokebass @Shambo Is a proper chap
  9. One step ahead of you all - the prototype is underway.....
  10. If you desk had unbalanced inputs you can go straight into it from a pedal
  11. Loads of DI options as people have stated, Tech21 DP3x pedal is a massive winner for me, new Fender ‘multi Fx’ unit which has EQ compression and DI capabilities, Trickfish Trilobite, or even just a DI box and nothing before it, my radial JDI is great (and it has 2 inputs/outputs). I agree with what the others have said about a load box, you guitarist can crank and keep the volume controlled. Two Notes do great ones (captor) and their cab sim Torpedo could work a treat for him. Or if he likes new kit, Friedman have just released the JJ model either head or combo which was made alongside Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, and that is 20w tubes with an internal load box, so you can just go straight out and have no speaker connected - it sounds bloody immense!

  13. Its so filthy I wouldn’t even want to bathe after playing that, it is a wonderful example of good durty!
  14. Unless the decal is precious (is it a genuine fender neck?) you could match the headstock to the body
  15. That’s mint to me, but does the OP count forcing dings as accelerated relic?
  16. Thanks for that, of those 2 I listed (which I will try to find this side of the pond) they need a cavity depth of 20 and 24mm. My jag is about 30mm she should be ok. I think they do both 4 and 6mm shaft sizes. If I can find similar in the U.K./EU i’ll Post a link, but it means very compact wiring and an easier option for folk and this bass. Cheers
  17. May be answering my own question vol/blend https://www.bestbassgear.com/noll-500k220k-volumeblend-stacked-control.htm Vol/vol https://www.bestbassgear.com/noll-500k-stacked-volumevolume-pushpull-control.htm
  18. @Andyjr1515 and anyone else (apologies if this is thick) Is there any reason why I could not use 1 stack knob and wire it up as volume/volume so the pick ups are controlled with the one knob, and have the second knob as a tone knob. And what value should they be? Is both at 500k fine? Reason I am asking is that I really like the Tone styler, and if I can treat it like a ‘volume’/tone only 2 knob bass, it makes it a very simple job. all thoughts gratefully received
  19. Yep Found my old video, the zero fret was not done by the machine, Twas done after. As you were
  20. Happy to be wrong, my memories may deceive me
