Well I haven't bought it yet… Its so pretty though. Tbf I don't think the wife would accept that line of mental gymnastics either 🤣

If I buy a pedal I already own in a different colour it doesn't count, does it? Kind of a Double Jeopardy type situation?

Did a slight update with the new neck and adjusted the body size to be more accurate. It's still a first pass, and I need to tidy it up. I think the horns aren't quite right, and I want to tweak the scratch plate shape a little.

Haha well ill keep you posted!👌

I'll possibly see if I can make use of the wenge neck, otherwise Ill pop it on here cheap. It'd be a shame for it not to be used as its a beauty!

Well I decided the tele headstock just wasn't going to work for the bulkier t-60 style body. I decided to get a roasted maple one instead with a paddle headstock that I can peavify. Gotta say, it feels and looks great, the fret work is particularly nice. Sadly Guitar Anatomy don't do bass necks yet but apparently have plans to offer in future.

I do sometimes wonder if Boss go out of their way to make their UI for hardware and software as clunky and ugly as possible. I had similar minor grievances with the GT1000core, not a deal breaker but just enough to cause a little frustration every time I used it.

I think the intuitive interface is the main reason I love the QC. I don't think I've ever felt the need to check manuals or “how to” videos to understand features. It just does what you expect.

There is here! I'm still in! The guitar is just there to provide some background noise to play bass to.

Ahh man I was totally focused on bass purchases and forgot Im halfway through a guitar build and still have hardware to buy. Does that count or should I gracefully bow out in week 3?

Yeah this did cross my mind. My only reservation was having the humbucker lugs (not sure what the right term is) routed in the front. I guess I could do some rear access for them too, I imagine that could get faffy to install though!

Hey, Building a guitar (except for the neck) based on a Peavey T-60 (thread). I'd quite like add a similar scratchplate to the original but made with Wenge, it'll look excellent against the Black Limba body. Has anyone got any experience making wood scratchplates? Wondering what thickness is recommended and if anyone re-enforced it at all? I was thinking probably 5mm but it'll be pretty high. Would be a faff but could maybe inset it a couple of mm into the body?

Just had to go on some gear sites looking for some kids drumsticks for my daughter. Managed to buy them without accidentally purchasing any pedals or basses 👌 (not that I can afford)

A half dsp QC in a stomp-like enclosure with captures and support for plugins would be the dream, bonus for a 2nd fx loop and a DI. Personally Im not super attached to the idea that a multifx should replace my entire pedalboard, I'm more than happy to add in my own comp, preamp or whatever else I feel I'm missing.

Yeah certainly an option. For now I'm trying something quite unexpected and dealing with it rather than splashing out lots of money or hacking it to bits. Its not too bad after a while of getting used to it, especially when I'm not being lazy with muting technique as a decent chunk of time I'm resting on the other strings anyways. Gear acquisition averted (for now) 👌

Still love my Handbox WB100 although never get chance to use it. Need to find a band!!!

Yeah inconsistency bugs me a lot. Top mounted is a huge win for me although having pedals that close can require some accurate foot work. The Canvas tuner is the worst offender yet for me. ✔️Top mounted jacks ❌ Side power jack ❌ Opposite side for the USB and menu buttons It does look pretty though…

Beetles, when the childs not around its The Jesus Lizard. Its eclectic.

Pretty proud to say I've not caved yet but already struggling 😬

I'm in the same boat with the caveat that if its a choice between horizontal vs big empty void, the jaunty angle wins. I'll usually try to spread stuff out a bit though.

I've really paired back my board to: Canvas Tuner > Cali76 v2 > EAE Dagger > DCX Bass > EAE Model FeT > DG Element. Really enjoying it. Super versatile but all the pedals do one sound that I really love and rarely touch unless there's a really minor correction due to the bass I’m using etc. I've shifted my Quad Cortex on to a separate board that I use for Guitar so always have the option there if i want. I don't think I get pedal option paralysis but I do like playing with stuff a little more than I probably should. This makes it much easier to avoid!

Also going through some Bowie songs after attending a local Bowie birthday tribute the other night. Some great bass lines in there, particularly on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, really fun to play.

I'm learning some Rush. I kinda learned Spirit of Radio and Limelight years ago but only enough to wing it, in particular I never properly learned the more fiddly bits correctly. My technique was always horrible too so taking the time to try and really nail the muting etc. It's been pretty challenging to build speed and accuracy back up after doing a hard reset of 15 years bad habits. Getting there though!

Yeah I had similar feelings. Only tried it once in a band context but really dropped out of the mix. Also really struggled with stacking on anything except a tuner. I've heard other people make it sound great though, I think it probably just depends how your using it and how your bass is voiced.
