Black and maple - oh yeah 😎

If it sounds bad with the red light flashing, turn it down. If it doesn’t, then keep playing

That is a tidy little rig! Very nice

This is bloody marvellous, love it! If I tried to build a studio it would go about as well as trying to turn a cargo ship in the Suez Canal.

Odd. I'd have stuck wit the OR500 rather than OR300. But not my company so there we go

Think the Original 300 is discontinued too

Whilst knee deep in a spreadsheet earlier I listened to the debut album by The Virginmarys - forgot how great it is a straight ahead, loud rock’n’roll record. Produced by Toby Jepson of Little Angels fame I believe. Either way I think it’s a cracking one for cranking up.

Peter this bass looks awful, you should donate it to me.

Get @skelf to build you an awesome ACG 5. All his designs are super comfortable seated and on the strap and you can spec the woods and electronics to get that old school tone. I have three of his basses (soon to be 4 🤪😳) and they all occupy different sonic spaces - simple passive old school, modern super J, and gnarly Spector-esque rock machine. But all of them have way more versatility than those pigeon homes I’ve given them; they can all do all of them if I do desire

Nah. Paul Herman doesn’t have a clue!* *😜

Lovely bass! Love my Zoot. So much so that I’ve just ordered a second one 😱🤪 Agree with @TheGreek that we’re spoilt for choice thesedays - Zoot, ACG, Shuker, Nernie Goodfellow, Status, Alpher, RIM, etc etc.

Nice one - those Pro Neo cabs looks the biz and @Lozz196 says they sound the biz too

Does the amp DI have a pre/post EQ switch? If so that probably answers your question If not... it depends on the amp I suspect

Depends on the band and situation in terms of my stage presence. In terms of my basslines, absolutely. But that’s coz I’m stinky poo

That's going to be a stunner! I have a couple of ACG 5ers, one with 16.5mm and one with 17mm spacing, they're both excellent. Best 5ers I've ever played in fact Looking forward to watching this develop!

You’ll have to bookmark it and check back once a month or so in case anything changes and new basses are added 😁

Funnily enough I’ve been speccing up 32” P basses on the Maroochick configuration tool too 😆 I’ve got a spec in my head and really want to find a justification for getting it. Mike Walsh (of Zoot/Purple Chilli fame) will build it if I can get my brain over the finish line. BTW have you checked the stock Maroochick basses? https://www.public-peace.de/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/jake/5-string

Yep, it works nicely with a cut on that control

Why do you want another head? (Asks the guy with three....) Is it just an excuse to have another amp or a genuine need? The RM800 is perfect for small pub gigs as well as bigger stages. Save your money

An Argentinian friend suggested this song for me to cover. The original is double bass but that was a good excuse to try playing fretless properly.

This. Took the missus who got whizzed on the ridiculously expensive Prosecco.
