A pedal like this makes amp head choice mostly moot unless someone also wants integrated compression and overdrive. I can plug this into the effects return of the Harley Benton Block 800 and it’s instantly better than 90% of the amps on the market. Or put it in front of one of those small factor TC amps. Same result.

Yeah unless you want specific characteristic tone coloring (tube preamp warmth/compression/od distortion, etc) an EQ like that will go a long long way. Especially to mimic something like a Fender tonestack.
I guess you would still want a multiband compressor to be able to hit (say) the Darkglass tones, but no big deal. That EQ is perfect really, only thing to add would be more bands, but for bass you’re good.

Isn’t a machete a type of knife?

Which led to the Kabar, IIRC, one of the better knives I ever actually owned.

I’ve got one of those bad boys that has a deer horn handle. It’s gathering dust in my closet - lol.

I roll with the OLFA L1 @howard
Great for finish carpentry and for cutting up apples at lunch. Of course it’s Japanese, as all the best knives are

It’s actually considered a knife. It can hack and chop, but not slice and cut 
Also found out that machetes are classified as agricultural tools by United States law. So this is actually legal?

Got a Stagg 6 Guitar suitcase stand today to get easy access to my 2nd (and soon to be third) bass…seems solid enough so far and I doubt it will be traveling anywhere so it shouldn’t get bumped around

They also make great scribers for cutting steel and aluminum.

Very nice looking stand! Also +1 bonus point for including the cat in the pic

It depends on the state, actually. Not in many states, simply due to them being concealed. The laws usually refer to “dirks and daggers”, the definition of which is extremely broad. In some locales it even includes locking foldable knives. And concealed includes in a bag or tackle box (though many states have hunting and fishing exemptions for obvious reasons.)
So that nice Gerber Mk. II that was perfectly legal while in the military? Probably want to sell it when you get out.
Carrying sheathed on a belt is usually but not always legal. Really varies by jurisdiction. But you’d look pretty stupid and get a lot of attention from security guards and cops by carrying a machete on your belt, unless working.
