  1. FWIW I have bass with two Smith type pickups. I have two push pull vol pots. I never use the "weaker" settings. I always fall into the trap of having the most options. And then I find the beefiest settings and stay with it.
  2. I have one of these. It is the absolute bomb. No need to pack it for a courier. Slap a label on it and off it goes. If it can cope with aircraft baggage handlers (it can) then it cope with couriers (it can).
  3. There is no possible use I could make of that.
  4. I am very interested. Give us all the details.
  5. That is a VERY lovely piece of wood. You absolutely cannot beat a VERY lovely piece of wood.
  6. To play for the song shows true ability. Overplaying is easy. Not that I do it well, but I sure can overplay. Less is ALWAYS more. My favourite ever soundcheck line came from one of my students soundchecking another. Player student went up and gave it the max Flea. Sound engineer student laconically reached over to the talk back mike and said "Stop it, play me something I can hear".
  7. Good bows are like crack cocaine. Once you go there, there is no turning back.
  8. Lots of really good things going on there. I could feel right at home with that.
  9. I was wondering how they were shaping up in the wild. When you say whole board replaced, what did it replace? Does it do synthy stuff? Decent OC2 kind of thing? Is there a community for sharing captured preamps? The one preamp I miss is not one I could capture myself now. I have been VERY close to buying a Strymon Big Sky to access the chorale settings to use with bowed harmonics on a DB. Would the QC oblige? So many questions, but you did lay yourself open to it.
  10. I have a QSC10 at home and access to QSC12s at work. If I was going to fight with a drummer I would borrow a 12 from work.
  11. I know earlier on I was fed up with the Pluggable box, but it turned out that I had a duff HDMI lead so that has made things a lot easier.
  12. Portability is a very attractive thing I am running a MBP with a "Pluggable" box which is enabling a twin monitor set up. It is slightly flaky with USB peripherals which means an element of unplugging and plugging in again, but for me it is worht the faff.
  13. The M1 Mac Mini is bigger and harder than an M1 Air. Don't let me stop you buying new kit, but the Air is a tiny downgrade from the M! (IIRC). And connectivity will mean buying a hub as well. An M1 Air will happliy run Logic and you can have a lovely time, but it will not be "better".

    Less is more

    Full rig for this evening in the boot of a mini. QSC K110, Sadowsky and Vong pedalboard, and Kala Ubass. Thumpy goodness and almost flute levels of cartage.
  17. TC Spectracomp. Any small format pedal tuner. £100 max. Small enough to put on a small kitchen chopping board and slip into the front of your gig bag. You can always flog them for what you paid if you want to get more creative - so it is cost neutral to experiment. Compressors have always confused me. I know what they do, but setting them is beyond me The toneprint software lets me cycle through loads of presets using my phone passing some squeaky noise through the pickups. I like it so much I own three - one as an always on in Church, one on my pedalboard and one set up in front of my home recording set up. For me, Multi FX just give me so many options I get paralysed and never use them.
