Number 1 has to be the Sire P10. Next my rather fine orange-coloured pedal board (with matching bag). Number 3, lovely little Joyo 10W bass amp with Bluetooth for playing along to stuff. Honorable mention, the Kay Gremlin I tarted up a bit, well quite a lot of setting up epecially, that's now quite fun to play.

I was rehearsing with it just last Wednesday. Glad to see the nickel is finally starting to cloud over. The pickups are very vintage sounding. If you want the identikit Seymour Duncan ¼-pounder sound, not for you. They are very controllable, easy to set the gain right and get overdrive by digging in. VID-20250727-WA0006.mp4

Rings a bell. That's about it.

Fairly? <ducks>

I have to be honest and vote 'none', but when I do use them I have: TU3 tuner 'Snow White' auto-wah Spectracomp compressor Joyou XVI (+/- polyphonic octaver) Mojo Mojo overdrive Behringer Brassmaster fuzz/ring modulator Ibanez digital chorus (ancient) Gumpinator (own build 12dB/octave HPF)

Some of us sewed badges on (and embroidered!) our own jackets!

Basschat 203.2mm Cab Design just sounds soooo wrong! I'm bilingual, not only can I work in Metric and Imperial, but I can visualise both as well. Imperial is really convenient when you need things in different sizes with good proportions and need to allocate dimensions into convenient subdivisions. Metric has it's preferred sizes, which can be OK for proportion, but are a nightmare if you are adding different sizes and trying to get to a convenient overall dimension.

I hope it works. I saw a podiatricians and physiotherapists about my left ankle. It's much larger than normal due to extra bone around multiple breaks, and loss of cartilage, so I get bone on bone if my knee goes forward. But to get to the point, the best two things they told me were "we're used to stopping when things hurt so we don't make things worse. Fir this you need to do the opposite, the more it hurts, the more you're keeping mobility and building muscle around the joint" and in more carefully guarded words "A specialist will recommend fusing the joint, don't let them as you will lose so much mobilty which will be really bad long term". They did say that if a specialist offers to clean bone fragments out of the joint, that would be a good thing. TL;DR if offered fusion of the ankle, think very carefully as it could stop you doing a lot of things.

Exactly, he's a huge inspiration but for a fairly narrow audience. I met someone who claimed to know a guy with eight of Cozy's drum kits.

Carole Kaye will surely sue...

Check your manual... some will run on very few channels if you are happy to choose from pre-programmed settings. https://www.highlite.com/media/attachments/MANUAL/42199_MANUAL_GB_V2.pdf

That's one way of fogging the stage.

My Proel seems now to be the Eikon DM580LC. Now trying the Superlux Prad1 a hypercardiod.

Bad hair day...

Me... I enjoy having basses that (in general) feel and sound distinct from each other so not a Squier Mustang if a Fender Mustang is in the future. Plus, check out all the videos of young kids shredding on 34" scale basses. Small build is not a valid reason to choose short scale, there are other more compelling reasons.
