Take it along to @Al1885 for the next BassBuzz meetup :wink:

I actually looked for it, or one like it (mother of pearl Contello [Italian made Milton Mann house brand] circa ‘75 or so) and found a couple, but… an accordion that old - unless it’s been impeccably cared for - is a massive repair bill waiting to happen. All of the reeds are seated in, well, pretty much beeswax, so all that wax can be dried and cracking, and the bellows can be leaking or there can be mold issues. Unless you’re getting it as a rebuild hobby, it’s probably not worth it.

Don’t think I’m not considering it. :wink:

Why not we can do the Ratatouille song @Barney can mail it in with his vocal, :rofl:

Always love to do the 3/4 numbers

If @JustTim plays one of my favourite soundtracks to my absolute top 3 films of all time. Then I’ll pop down and sing the rat song :slight_smile:

The whole soundtrack is beautiful.

Am down!

I was just thinking about @TNKA36 and his bagpipes the other day. :smiley:

That’s… AMAZING. I love that. Although I’d be half tempted to replace the djembe player with a bodhran player, LOL.

I got you covered, bro. :smiley:

So you have a Stingray and think to yourself, I wish it were a PJ. Bartolini has you covered

This is my pedal board of shame.

Shame because over time I’ve spent too much money. Surely these boutique pedals will make me sound good?

I had to buy a new power supply to even make it work. The Walrus wants 500mA and the Bass synth wants 330mA!

Surely, now, I have acquired ALL THE PEDALS I’LL EVER NEED!

Yes they will all improve your timing :nerd_face:

I have two of those pedals and they’re awesome.

Next step is to make / buy a pedal board to mount them on.

In the last couple weeks I have gotten a cheapo Donner 37 key midi controller/synth/sequencer, XVive 5ghz wireless guitar and IEM setup and I have a presonus digital audio interface on the way.

I have always wanted a good ol telecaster,so eyeballing those too.

Where’d my money go?

I’m fighting hard right now, y’all, and maybe you can help.

I started bass with a Yamaha TRBX174, which is a perfectly fine 4-string. Upgraded earlier this year to a TRBX605 and fell in love with the active EQ and tone shaping it offers along with the extra B-string.

I now have a bead on a like-new Schecter Reaper 4 that sounds amazing, but I’m vacillating on whether having a 4-string (even with the Darkglass tone capsule) is necessary with five.

Talk me into it, please.

got here late for the above discussion but one of the great finds of my life was this guy. huge amounts of power, built great, dirt cheap, tiny footprint. and he does custom work. most of the new “super pedals” like my analog take a massive amount of power and these are the answer without putting you in the poor house. amazing.

Necessary has nothing to do with anything here.

Totally necessary. Why is there even a question? :smiley:
