[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1479465457' post='3176728'] Glad to see a Focusrite rep on here Si.... [/quote] Absolutely, although I was certainly a member here before I started at Focusrite But in any case, always happy to field questions etc! Cheers Si

My main setup involves a P with flats and an MXR envelope, sounds great!! Yeah the only real difference is how the bass triggers the effect. So i'd argue similar tones are possible from an envelope with a J or P, but the pedal settings will be quite different! Si

Don't think TRAPCo is going any more, or rather Shep sold his share to Mark ages ago. I know Dan @ Gig-Rig does this for quite big acts (presumably because it's pretty expensive). It's not something I'd invest in, simply because I'm constantly tinkering and changing stuff, ripping it off and starting again. Unfortunately this means that it's never tidy haha. Sure there's plenty of people who'd be interested, but yeah, needing to be on Facebook in order to view details of the page might be a little restricting perhaps, maybe a Tumblr type holding page would also help.

If it's an originals band, why would you bother with a cover? It's simply going to put your song up against something that people know, and so the perception is they prefer the song they know to your song. Pointless. I struggle with this in an originals band I play for, they have plenty of great songs, but still insist on putting in one or two cover in as 'crowd pleasers', what a waste of a song in a set that could be used to turn people onto your music instead. If you're a covers band looking for work, fine, I get it. If you're an originals band, I simply don't understand it. Si

[quote name='Tech21NYC' timestamp='1478096302' post='3166715'] The concept for the Bass Fly Rig was a small portable solution for "fly dates" or for players that get stuck using back line gear that does not deliver the sound they require. It was not meant to be a be all and end all replacement for your dream rig. It can be used in conjunction with your main rig to easily add some extra utility. The main focus was the analog engine. The Octafilter section was more of a bonus effect to utilize some of the leftover DSP power from the chorus section. To add switches for the Octafilter section would increase the size of the unit, the cost and would also necessitate extra controls for each section and there is not enough DSP power to do that. The Boost section has been requested by a number of bass players and it also gives more flexibility for those that wish to run a cleaner overall sound and add distortion to that sound or use the boost for extra output to either punctuate a passage or give extra level for a solo section. [/quote] Absolutely, I work in a similar industry (in fact our office deals with the calls for your UK distributor) so fully understand that you can't make the perfect product for all users. As it stands, it looks like a great piece of gear, but personally I would find individual Fuzz, Octave & Envelope on separate switches way more useful than clean boost & Chorus. My idea would be to have an Envelope switch, a Fuzz switch & and octave switch separated out, no boost, and the chorus effect sitting on a control/knob on the octave switch. Whether there's a DSP restriction here, I don't know, possible, but the size of the unit would be the same, same amount of switches etc. Anyway, just thinking out loud . Always loved Tech 21 stuff, this looks great, just would personally prefer a little different layout as I could then swap out my 5 pedal setup for this Cheers, great to see you on here too btw, more companies should get involved.

My Antique enclosure is all etched and painted, very happy with it. SMDs are done, populated all the resistors in the board ready for soldering, just need to find some time (when baby is not around....fumes) to solder it all. Si

Yeah, think it's rounds on his Jazz, flats on his MM. What isn't mentioned is how old and dead his rounds are lol, but yeah, great tone all the time from Mr Dart Si

I thought this had a clean blend too?! Or is that someone else's Heliotropic?! Si

Shame they didn't see fit to seperate out the octave, fuzz & envelope onto seperate footswitches, way more useful than a boost (lazy inclusion from someone with a guitar mindset) & chorus. Still a nice piece of gear, but couldn't replace a good setup of individuals for me at the mo, shame. My guitarist friend has the Richie Kotzen one and loves it! Si

Also had great experiences with Hipshot, long may it continue Si

Note that if you have a luthier build you something, they'll likely request that you send them the neck so they can fit the neck pocket specifically to that neck. Not a bad thing obviously, but worth noting that you might have to factor that postage cost into the final cost of the body I've had a neck from Warmth and it was great, not had their bodies, but imagine everything is made to 'Fender' specs so necks/bodies will fit perfectly fine, but not as bespoke as having a Luthier make it Si

[quote name='Prosebass' timestamp='1477269892' post='3161050'] I honestly think she is the best bassist I have heard since Jaco. I think we are about to witness the next bass phenomenon. [/quote] Yeah I wouldn't go this far, but she is very very good and definitely carving a path for herself! Si
