Just had a D string go pop as I was bringing up to tension on installation. It appears I am not alone. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/labella-super-polished.1650903/page-6 UPDATE: Bass Direct are sending me a new set. -
Yes, nicely aged OTM finish. They did a FSR run of these a few years back.

Yep, he gave me all the specs that aren’t in the manual, including "amp feel", but as he also listed the bass and treble settings I mentioned above separately I presumed they are the EQ points for those two knobs. It sounds great whatever!

Nice work @Dood. Just to add the specs I got from Pete at Roland that I don't think you mention and aren't in the manual: bass = 70Hz treble = 6K shape (green) -12dB at 500Hz (red) +6dB at 4K (orange) both green and red combined

Just remember there are no effects banks to scroll through on this head. You can have three different effects (plus compression and drive, as they are controlled separately) on each preset, but if you do that it will also recall whatever the whole of the panel's settings were when you hit save (e.g. if you saved a preset with the bass EQ cranked it would recall that too, rather than what the front panel is actually showing). As such, for live work I have my three preferred effects saved via the "panel" setting and then tweak the eq etc. to taste according to venue. I have different combinations of effects set in each of the other three presets, so if the "panel" hasn't needed much EQ I can switch between them to give me a total of twelve effects. Does that make sense? It sounds more complicated than it is once you are using the unit!

Glad to be of help. I use the GA-FC and it's perfect for that. You can use it two ways, either to switch between "panel" (i.e. what is set on the front of the amp) or the three preset channels, or you switch it to control drive/comp/effect/mute on or off for one of the above.

Never fitted. I think they fit 6mm threads. TWO NOW SOLD, SO NOW £14 POSTED THE FOUR Price includes postage. -
I've had these a while, using them in various amps with valve preamp stages, but my move away from such amps means they are now surplus: Mullard ECC83 - code B6B3 means made in Blackburn, third week of February in either 1956, 1966 or 1976 = £50 Mullard ECC83 - (code backward3)91 means made in Chelmsford for Mullard by Marconi, but not sure how to date the rest = £50 Mullard ECC81 - no code that I can see = £25 Caveat Emptor: I have tested them in my Demeter amp and they are all working fine at time of writing, but as always with old valves be aware they can fail at any time. Please do bear that in mind before you buy.

This was bought in May and has housed my Katana 500 head ever since, but I've decided to use a different bag going forward. It's in excellent condition. All the Boss blurb is here. -
@Bass Culture - hope you like it. Make sure you download the app so you can tweak to your liking. I love mine, and I would say £499 for such a versatile head is a great deal.

Medleys. Want to get involved in another band's argument?

Rebel Rebel into Jean Genie into Blockbuster works really well. A couple of verses of the first two is all you need. -
Lovely bass, but just who is Gary Grainger? -
Hello folks I am fed up of storing and lugging two large Peavey 1x15 subs around to every gig, so my band are considering moving to a single powered sub. Budget ideally under £600 but we could go higher if needed. Can anyone recommend something fairly compact and light that would do the job? We don't play in very large venues, so it doesn't need to move a ton of air.

Wampler Mini EGO Compressor Pedal is small, and good.
