  1. That is the accepted wisdom, yes. Along with the BBE preamp and the Hartke whatever 500 and 1000 jobbies. I am sure there are others.
  2. The 1st number sounds VERY Vulfpeck to me. And you have to feel for the keyboard player. Laying it down like a bad mother, but totally isolated behind a skyscraper of kit.
  3. Never, I am a sober and rational individual. Only 6, or maybe 9 of them. If I could afford a Ritter Isabella Bass in Orange I would have one already.
  4. I am afraid not only did I buy it but I have since sold it. It has long left the building.
  5. At last, something I can contribute to. Make sure the Osmo goes on uniformly. I got to the end of a floor 2 weeks ago, got lazy and wiped it all around. It looked as if snails had been there when it dried. Nothing a scour with some wire wool did not sort out, but it was frustrating. As it happens, it is a bathroom floor. We shall see how it responds to water splashes
  6. I tune a 36" Overwater neck through 6 string to F#. This is my second try at it (don't ask). The first OW 6 to F# was better. Regrets? I have a few. However, it works and serves the purpose I want. It melts my head when I am reading, but that is my problem not yours. Get Mr Newtone to wind you some strings and see what happens.
  7. I did clock two links but did not actually read them to differentiate! Duuuuuuuur.
  8. Thank YOU! I am always interesed in things to clean up vocals. I have been doing a lot of editing of people filming themselves in totally innapropriate acoustics on their phones for lockdown church stuff. I would be lost without the entry level Izotope stuff.
  9. Crisp! A lot of us are looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
  10. I know everyone else knows. But I downloaded it only to discover that it is Windows only. It was exciting while it lasted
  11. That is a healthy attitude. And one I should adopt. But all my gear buying and selling over all the years has been virtually cost neutral given that it is a market I actually know very well. So diving into bass kit which will inevitably depreciate is a bit counter intuative for me. I fund the next thing by selling one of the present things. If the next thing depreciates then I cannot sell it to get the next, next thing. I seriously need to get out more.
  12. <sigh> I kind of run scared from this stuff because a friend traded a nice black Gibson 335 many years ago for whatever the latest rack mount Digitech (IIRC) thing was. Of course the Digitech was worth next to nothing 4 years later. I know that the technology is not the same. I know that the business model is built on developing and tweaking. So given the kit I can shift I can afford one. And yet, I am nervous. <sigh> Gregor has not helped.
  13. I discussed it with my brother who borrowed it from me on occasion. He remembered it as being not light. I have rose tinted lenses on and remember it as being fabulous in all ways. As I do with virtually everything I have sold ever.
  14. They went into a Tokai Fretless Jazz (Jaco alike) which was painted with not Nitrocellulose. I knew so little back in the day that I reliced it by banging it on the road. Obviously this did not go well. This was the first in a long line fretlesses which prove I cannot play fretless (the latest being a really nice ACG). I eventually sold it to a guy in Dublin and took the ferry from Holyhead to deliver it. It was a different time.
  15. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/369393134879425/?rid=4982009548488704&ad_id&rt=1&refID=0&refType=0 I am 80% certain this is the bass I traded in the Brixton Music Exchange for a pair of EMG Jazz Pickups in the early 80s. I was young and very stupid. If I remotely played 4 stringers I would buy it back just to apologise to it.
  16. If the Big Al has the Bongo EQ, I could totally go for a Big Al.
