If the FI works as a sound source for a MIDI keyboard, would the MIDI keyboard and a sustain pedal make the note sustain? If so, could I run a bass through it and have a keyboard MIDId up to it to get a sustain pedal working? I could actually try this at home and will, but I need to know NOW because it is more interesting than marking work.

There was an MJT painted metal flake blue MM Bongo years ago that I would have had if not for the import duty thing. It was very lush. I was wrong, it was a Marty Bell finish. Ignore me. But just look at it! https://www.talkbass.com/threads/musicman-bongo-5hh-marty-bell-western-blue-big-sparkle-flake-finish.1265232/

Happy days! -
I am messing with cheap guitar parts and buildling a strat cos............ummmm........ Anyway, the machine heads I have bought have ferrules which are too small. I cannot be the first bodger to run into this issue. What do people do to wedge these things in? If anyone suggest that I plug the holes and re-drill then you need to know now that that is so far beyond my skillset that it is not true.

So light you can lift it with one hand so ticks that "portable" box. Enough grunt to deal with a drummer so ticks that "full band" box. These cabs really do sit in that sweet spot. -
Do it for all of us who wish we could!!!!

So wrong, but so VERY right! -

I have no possible need of this, but I can dig the tone shaping on it. Nowhere for me to get lost there! -

That is a very fine reading of Havona.

These are great strings. I have 2 spare packets otherwise I would buy them. -
My new (to me) Overwater 6 string weighs 11.8lbs. I would never dream of playing it standing up. I could not even if I wanted to because the extra string is using so much of my congnitive RAM that I would forget how to balance. It makes a great noise though.

The SSL2+ works as a MIDI interface. The MOTU 8 pre might as well. I think I had a duff MIDI lead.

That is a fair question and TBH I am not sure. We all get attached to specific pieces of kit and believe that they help us achieve our "tone" (whatever that is). I was kind of expecting a more significant difference than the one I got. I will not be discussing what they were because there are so many variables in the equation that what is just "this is how it sounds when Owen plays through them with a badly set up bass and dead strings" easily becomes "that preamp is rubbish because I heard it next to some other ones". I guess that a well buffered input with enough headroom is all I need in a preamp. It kind of makes a mockery of my exhaustive efforts at trying every preamp that has ever been built.

If you have two cabs pretty soon you will be running the PA system. Unless you REALLY love it and get paid for it this is a VERY bad thing.

You cannot buy new ears. Buy proper plugs. Cos if you do not and are in noisy environments, one day you will not be able to play and then you would pay anything to be able to play.

Fair enough.

West Side Story is always fun and the examiner will clock it as being dangerous music which will therefore be impressive. Which is always good in an exam.
