@LukeFRC King Kunta is a bit harsh. He’s got some daft opinions but he’s not a... Oh wait I see!

Yummy!

There you go!

I know folk who have Yamaha bikes and a few with outboard engines and I don't think I've ever heard them referred to as "Yammy".

It does look like a lot of pedal!

There was also some info about the holes on the bridge for the string thru looking like crescent moons but that’s supposed to be quite normal when placing the bridge. Apologies if already covered it just came to me as I was reading this latest post

My bad it’s just I thought you had your eye in the GT1000Core then their new synth SYB100? with a view to making a fully pumped up synth bass with GK pick up. In my defence you were very enthusiastic about the core and upgraded synth and I thought you already had a boss looper. It is hard to keep up so forgive me if I’m a chip set or two behind the times. 😀

I really enjoyed using mine on the few iem gigs we played before COVID killed off live music and it’s a useful addition to quiet practice in the wee small hours to ‘feel’ things a bit more with the headphones in!. It’s great to have the physical feedback when playing iem and It’s reassuringly powerful/feels quite secure on my strap. Certainly worth trying out if you get the chance!

@Al Krow is on a bit of a boss discovery of late and this looks like it would tick a lot of boxes.

Surely the Boss BCB90x is the obvious choice.

looks like a scene from Spinal Tap 2 *there is no Spinal Tap 2

I think the JMJ is based off a 60’s Mustang. I know very little about Mustangs other than my jmj is a cracking wee bass. It’ll do a lot of the p bass type stuff and loves a bit of synth and sub stuff.

Nope I’m a nurse who has done some additional training in vaccinations/immunisation- helping out with our annual flu jab clinic and some community immunisation stuff a few years back. We have a lot of concerned patients who want to discuss all aspects of Covid 19 so it’s important to be informed when they ask us about restrictions lifting, when they can go see their family or when their delayed discharge will eventually happen. We’ve a couple of folk who would have moved to their own accommodation by now (back in March in fact) so you can imagine the frustrations. I’d love to tell them my ‘educated guess’ is they’ll be moving on in May but I can’t really pull a figure out of the air. Instead we’re all dealing in the reality of the situation and we’re all trying manage that as best we can. My missus is studying microbiology as part of her degree course so I’m getting some great info and discussion (vicariously) through listening in on her lectures - some of her uni lectures are involved in Covid research (I ask her to listen to her online lectures without headphones so I can earwig in).

It's why I've asked a few times as other's may have too where does this end of May idea come from?

Optimism is a wonderful thing but I've mentioned before it needs to be tempered with some realism. Look at all those poor folk who, right up until midday on Wednesday, were expecting Trump to remain as president. What is their fall back - It's still a fix? He didn't lie to us? Deep State? and other self talk to convince themselves that they're right and everyone else is wrong? @Al Krow I'd be keen to know what inside track you have on this fixed date of the end of May? To me it reads a bit like the old Donald Trump 'double down'! The whole world, I think, can acknowledge the collective effort to get a vaccine developed and out to the public as well as the logistical task of getting it distributed. What raises concerns for some of us and I'm in this camp is we're effectively looking at giving the vaccine 'off license' and it's not really, nor could it really have been, the panacea that it's been promised due to what appears to be the evolving strain and this off license use. I'd be surprised if the Boris Government don't suggest the cold snap is another goverement plan to stop the virus in it's tracks and will somehow lay claim to the weather as part of their strategic roll out across the country!

I found switching to iem (very cheap behringer kit) in conjunction with the stomp IR’s made for a very convincing tone for me and the band mates. The same tones coming out the FOH were great too. Folks can argue over better or not but it’s nice to have options.

Foot switch FS?

Bravo Sir! 👏 👏

No flurry of updates following today’s news?

Yup I have also put a cab IR on a footswitch so I can darken things a touch. It’s basically a very simple eq option run in parallel on one patch. Depends what you want as an end result but it works on that patch for me.

Fair enough.

So do I but then we’d never have met 🥰

Just do what I did - get a Cali CB and pair it with a Hudson Broadcast pedal! Bingo! A transformer based pedal and a killer compressor. I ran that set up for some time but sold them both for the big box TX
