According to that video's description, they finished there between 2005 to 2008. For further derail... They had some shows with "Couch The Band", another funky band I haven't heard of until yesterday and have started to like their energetic performances. Won't ask whether this is "real" or not.

Oh, the regular UA is archived now? :thumbsdown:

Yeah, but there's an Ash B stock 5er available, so possibly the first bunch has already been sold? AFAIK, Sire's new models shown at NAMM are usually available at Andertons and Thomann starting August/September the sane yeary, and this seems to hold for 2026, too.

Not necessarily... Thomann has several V7 NewGen available.

Hm, I'm actually intersted in the meaning of "and" here... :whistle:

As some of your reasoning about modifying/adding PUs is related to "having more plucking positions" — what exactly does hinder you from positioning your hand anywhere between bridge and neck? — Like many players, I might position my thumb on a PU cover when my thumb is "there" and I'm not...

That's sad to hear – thanks for letting us know!

See also this clarification by Nathan (who is apparently not suspended anymore...whatever this may have an effect for his further TB participation).

Not really, whereas More has two tubes, Greenhouse only has one, and the signal flow according to Nathan is (#26464 in this thread): https://www.talkbass.com/threads/the-sushi-box-fx-secret-society.1484792/post-29494752

How much do you turn up the volume on your Greenhouse? Mine with the stock JJ AT12X tube is at unity gain at around 9 o'clock so it has much headroom for boosting. My "problem" with using effects in the Greenhouse FX loop is just the fact that you then cannot easily A/B'ing them without...

Well, according to their website, there are official partners in the USA and Canada, although most official dealers are in the EU as expected: https://www.eich-amps.com/dealers I"m very content with my small BC 112 combo, and it's certainly not heavy at all... Of course in my case any need for...

Only if the bass player who will sub for you is going to start a thread about that band here! :smug: :whistle:

Sounds like someone could make an original country song from that phrase...

The Sire preamp should have an internal trimpot to adjust the active volume in relation to passive. As stated, usually active with all controls centered should be as load as (and tonally equal to) passive mode but you can increase the active gain if you want to. For V7, it's a blue trimpot...
