That E string’s just too long, I think. Superbrights are unusually long - I use long scale on my 35” Ibby BTB and they fit perfectly. I’d try a different brand personally.

First gig since November. Private party in a church in the middle of nowhere. Bloody awful. Stinking cold, long drive, shit get in, freezing, hours of hanging about, long drive home. Bugger this: counting the days until my last gig of the year in November and then the whole sodding lot’s getting sold. Better things to do on a Saturday night than this!

Nice. The GigRig isolator is a great solution, I’ve got one hanging off a 500mA outlet, saved buying a bigger PSU for me

+1 from me on this. As Stew says, come out well in tests on t'internet, and stupid easy to assemble. I used to use Lava but prefer the HB because very difficult to get the connection wrong with a screwdriver-based approach! They work fine... you'll maybe have to take pity and rewire your guitarist's attempts 🙂

Yers, there really ARE some peaches in there! And the width!!

Let’s be right… pic #2 is bass stance, bass face AND dusty end! Good work fella

Thanks for all the suggestions folks!! Much appreciated.

Good afternoon. What Bluetooth solutions are everyone using to get background music between sets into the mixer please? My current one kaput. Something with a 3.5mm headphone out, battery powered a bonus but there’s always a 13amp/USB outlet available so not essential. Any recommendations please? Thanks!

God I wish I got to play music like that. Instead I’m in year thirty of playing Brown Eyed ****ing Girl. Wrongly. I play it correctly, but you know geetards.

A massive part of my formative years that album. Good work… keep us all updated!

Blimey! Odelay’s a great choice… hope everyone has got their “make lots of random noises” pedals ready!

Ah, one of those!! Very cool looking things regardless of how they sound!

@agedhorse - this is so true! “Bass amps generally last 10+ years without attention but I am now seeing bass amps in after 15-20 years of hard use that need refurbishment. It's not the SMPS and Class D part that needs work, it's everything else that suffers the wear, tear and handling accidents” My guitarist’s Nomad 55 combo is basically trashed… because front panel not covered and many whacks taken. My old Ampeg SVT 3 had dry joints and blown MOSFETs and a smoked transformer at different times… strongly suspect because it lived in a crappy plastic 2U rack and kept getting knocked over on to concrete by… guitarists 🤣 My current GK is in a 3U full fat flight case - more chance of breaking your shin than knocking that over. I’m still very much a large transformer sort of boy

The thing that puts me off getting new moulds is all my local sites are Boots - thus likely an indifferent 19 yo doing the do 😩

ACS all the way, as we know by now. Mine are ancient (really should get new moulds) so I think mine are 26s / nearest equiv is 27 now. A lot of attenuation - because geetards are geetards and one of my drummers uses the cheapest, nastiest cymbals known to man. Ear slicers

My lad uses this, seems to work with everything plugged in so far! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08J6XVWFN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - nice because USB C or A (with adaptor). Also class compliant i.e. no driver install required. Previously had tried the classic Roland UM-One cable, but that needs drivers which (because Boss) meant pain.

Needs a round of applause 👏 every time you post a pic. Absolute work of genius. I use MC controllers rather than than the MLs but MS gear is amazing. Some really nice recent fw updates to the 10 with more on the way. Support and updates for MS products has to be one of the best in the market.

Some good advice here so far. You likely need to mute a lot more on 4+ strings. I use floating thumb. That said, if I’m playing something that doesn’t need anything fretting or open on the B I anchor my thumb on it. As others have said the extra low notes are nice, but the real benefit is e.g. being able to start stuff in E on fret 5 B string. I’ve got two main fivers… one is dropped half a tone because the geetard in the band I was joining didn’t tell me they dropped until the day before first rehearsal. By that point it was too late to relearn fingering. If I’d have known I’d have just shifted down a fret on a regular tuned bass! Hey ho

THREE guitarists?!?

@Bassy - if you’re anywhere near south Lincolnshire you’re welcome round mine to try it out!

The Barefaced BB2 works VERY nicely with a GK - I’m using an RB into mine. Once you’ve heard a BF 12” you won’t care that they don’t offer a 15, they’re outstanding cabs

Come again? The. Drummer. Does. The. PA? Wha? They can do that sort of thing?!
