I've got 3 pieces of advise: 1) Take some ear plugs 2) Ear plugs, definitely take some 3) Don't forget your ear plugs Si

[quote name='thebassist' timestamp='1457300483' post='2997238'] Not sure I should admit this here but I was watching The Voice last night and the house bassist had a 5-string Fender Jazz Bass FMT. Sounded great on the telly. [/quote] Not sure what your point is? The bassist for American Idol plays a Fodera though, sounds great on the Telly [quote] Anything is worth as much as you're willing to pay for it. I, however, don't think they are worth it. I prefer passive basses anyway. [/quote] They make passive basses Si

Yup, seen lots and lots of players out on gigs/functions/tours with Foderas. Perhaps more so in USA/Asia than UK, but even over here I know guys out on functions and pit gigs using their Foderas and other custom built basses. It's because they believe it's the best, most comfortable bass they can get.......other believe differently and are equally correct. Price is irrelevant. Si

Just play it for 30years, it'll go pink Si

I have an M5 sat alongside my MXR Bass Envelope Filter, OC-2 and a drive pedal, and that is such a great combination of pedals! Si

Yeah, or just keep an eye out for the Whambo adapter second hand perhaps Si

[quote name='stoo' timestamp='1456749613' post='2991864'] I think that will only work with the newer Whammy pedals which take DC power.... the older ones needed AC [/quote] Ah ok, well, drop Gig-Rig an email, there doesn't seem to be much they can't accommodate Si

A Gig-Rig Timelord adapter will do the trick I think. This means you'll be able to power the Whammy from whatever power supply you eventually choose (assuming it provides enough MA). Even if you're daisy chaining your pedal power, the TimeLord will then isolate what's being sent to the Whammy (which often helps with digital pedals). Perfec' Si

2016 family: [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/2ic0g11.jpg[/IMG] In a few weeks, I'll be adding a human baby to this, so I anticipate this little lot won't change in a good long while Si

[quote name='zvirus' timestamp='1456561161' post='2990233'] Hi, Yes I did but not sure if Shall I make it public... Problem solved at my end - bass has been sold. Neck re fretted more-less with the same results... Its an old case but wonder if I`m the only unlucky guy... [/quote] Certainly quite odd, the frets on mine are perfect! Si

Saw Alan post this earlier, it's going to be a peach, one of my favourite ACGs ever I think Si

[quote name='such' timestamp='1456405246' post='2988617'] Yeah, I thought Michael League would be realistic as he will be actually touring the UK at the time and having the weekend off BTW, I'm going to his (well, Bill Laurance's) gig at Ronnie's on Monday after LBGS, anyone else? [/quote] Don't think Michael is on the Euro dates bud Si

Yeah, Michael League, Pino, Richard Bona, Esperanza Spalding, Bobby Vega. Lots of amazing players to work through, lets hope the show continues for many years to fit them all in Si

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1456398198' post='2988517'] Did anyone else read these two posts and think ... WTF? The bass player for "one of the biggest metal bands in the world" is also "the guitar/amp tech" at a [s]shop[/s] Studio in Watford? This is the same studio where Robert Trujillo is a shop assistant, right? [/quote] Probably doesn't do a great deal of tech work now, but yep, cool huh Si

[quote name='D'AddarioUK' timestamp='1456333229' post='2987996'] Elaine & I will be on hand to answer any D'Addario related enquiries. Come and see us on stand D12 to try out NYXL Bass. [/quote] Had it in my head you guys weren't attending......the above is great news Si

[quote name='NickD' timestamp='1456320815' post='2987782'] He's also the guitar/amp tech at Titan Studios Watford too I think. Pretty sure he serviced my amp. [/quote] Yeah, him and Steve Sears were in Cry For Silence together. Si

Just had a second Maruszczyk PES40 strap turn up, seriously amazing straps for the price. Si

I've got a Nano POG which is great for this, and whilst I'm happy with that, I've just got a Line6 M5, and the pitch glide on that thing is amazing. Up and down pitches sound fantastic. Si
