Bridgehouse

Thanks! I have a jam weekend this weekend so it's getting it's first proper run out. I may well take it to band rehearsal next week as well

There's one local to me that's collection only, and I've put a cheeky low offer in. It would be a nice head to use with my BF Compact for recording 😁

Well, I've just been weighing up a couple of Preamp/DI options for the mini board and enhance my FRFR goodness... ..whilst simultaneously submitting an offer on a GK 800RB on evilbay... lol

That’s it - spot on. Addictive it is indeed - you’ve done a good job there!

You are describing something I went through with Helix, and then with Preamp/DI's a little while back. At the end of the day, any FRFR motor, speaker, system or whatever is just that - it's a completely neutral flat representation of what you put into it. It's the old adage of sh*t in, sh*t out.. some traditional amps add a colour, a texture and a quality that gives them their unique sound. You need to create that somehow before it hits your FRFR device. At home, and at rehearsals, I can hear clear differences between different preamp pedals, and different models on Helix - some sound brilliant, others not so much - but for Helix the biggest difference comes with cab sims.

I have a FRFR system, a Vanderkley 210LNT and a Barefaced Compact. I use a range of DI pedals and Helix through the FRFR, I use an EICH T1000 through the Vanderkley, and I’m looking for a valve head to pair with the Barefaced. The FRFR is in the car more than any other - it works on any size stage and sound engineers love it. The Vanderkley is just a glorious sounding cab and the T1000 has volume for days. It’s just so nice and rich.. The barefaced is light and adept and totally different to the others. Put it up for sale but changed my mind as it’s a brilliant cab. Conclusion? I’m no bloody help to you whatsoever, I’m a gear head, I like to mix it up.

Can’t say I disagree at all to be honest.

You can cross a shallow river quite safely in a pickup

We could just bridge our differences and agree to meet in the middle....

Sometimes not enough tho

Heavy bridges help with neck dive

I actually don’t know where to start with it I need to think of a simple mechanism that will allow me to get a body and neck built so it can accommodate it - but I’ve not got that far yet!

I have a tick 2 - it fits a pedaltrain Nano perfectly

I have an octave mandolin and two normal size mandolins - one was a custom made. I have probably played more mandolin on stage than bass over the years - but it can be both frustrating and delightful to play..

I have both - of space is a concern, despite looks, the vertigo fits easily in my boot crossways, the m80 doesn’t.

I expected more from this thread...

1974 “Olympic white” (once!)

Yes, cos it’s a real peach huh?

I’m just guessing but I suspect his post was in relation to “how do you clean your strings” and not your post.
