Nice finish.

Gabe Nelson lays it down like a boss.

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

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.

No pressure there.

Not as much as Frank is

I did clock two links but did not actually read them to differentiate! Duuuuuuuur.

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.

Crisp! A lot of us are looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I know everyone else knows. But I downloaded it only to discover that it is Windows only. It was exciting while it lasted

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.

I have already felt your pain!

<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.

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.

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.

It all seems so easy

I was young and very stupid. If I remotely played 4 stringers I would buy it back just to apologise to it.

I am very glad that is not a 5er.

If the Big Al has the Bongo EQ, I could totally go for a Big Al.

I have, but Art is a bit higher than I can aspire to!

From what I recall, they are not particularly arco friendly. Sorry, this is a very slippery rabbit hole.

What strings are you using. Not all strings are equal once the bow comes to play.

Nope, it was entirely clear

I was discussing the ACG filter preamp with Skelf the other day (as you do) and, for the record, he said that it has no baked in tone.
