I hate the look of any P/J 🤮

Did you think about having that nice new J neck on a P body? 🙂

That is impressive, Stew!! 😮 For me, the key to using this type of kit is to use it often enough to remember what the heck it does, and what the heck I did with it before. I'm like that with Reaper. I'll be on a steep curve learning to do a few tricks, then not really use it for months, by which time I've forgotten most of what I knew.

Mr @Al Krow's thread there is top o' the range 👍

I think I can speak for the men (and women), when I say we do notice. Once you point it out! 👍

There's a lot in there to play with. @operative451 put up some monster patches a while ago. I found the post:

Again, I don't think it works like that. A patch is made up of so many effects from the effects pool. So if 007 is made up of 5 effects, I don't think you can have that group of 5 as a single effect inside a patch. In other words, you can't have a patch inside a patch. If that's what you mean.

I installed both, haven't really done enough with them to comment, except I think Guitar lab is easy to back up all the factory patches, and add all the newer ones from the Zoom website. I think so far that one will be better for some jobs / the other better for other jobs.

I dunno if it really works like that. You know you can i.e. be playing through patch 007 (harmonics), press STOMP, the middle FS2 switch becomes REVERB on/off. Or you copy 007 to say, 100, then you could also copy it to 101 and set 101 with the reverb off. So there's more than one way to skin a chicken. 🙂 You know that Bridgey wouldn't trust a B3(n or not) as a live device, but don't worry about him. 😗

The footswitch setting is probably not what you're looking for. It is probably the setting for using the optional Zoom FP02M.

Hhhhh, it's not possible to individually ignore your own sig'

I'd forgotten about this -- Topping the Radio Jamaica chart for 11 weeks in 1985!

I could listen to Imelda May forever!

The Gloria Jones version of Tainted Love is much better anyway. 😛

A Detriot blast from the past!

Have you ever tried doing "Watching the detectives" with the band, Rich? I always think it would fit well with The Specials songs. Interestingly (to me), Andrew Bodnar from Graham Parker's band did the bass on that one.

And then there's this 🙂 Respect to that guy for sticking with explaining it all!

Staying with Stevie, "I was made to love her" is a classic Jamerson bassline. Lady Marmalade - The Labelle version from 1975. I love to play along to that. And then there's this:

Very 😎

Hrm, that's a thought...

I just need to get folks to start calling me Ricky Reader.

That's Ok, because my ska band will be called "Readers Wives" 😛

I believe it is mate, the cricket bat shaped one. Having a look around, a battered B2 seems to be a similar price to a brand new Steinberger Spirit! More research required, but the new budget Steinberger might be a better bet for me. I used to have a Hohner Jack bass (headless, active, but regular body shape), and that was pretty good. 🙂
