    NPD! Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS

    Hi All!! I've been looking at this pedal for a minute, and currently have the chance to get the non-IR version second hand... I was wondering if anybody had any opinion on if there's any difference between the two besides the IR stuffs?? I'm not much of a cab sim guy, but the reviews I've read...

    Has the pandemic changed your musicianship?

    I finally hunkered down and memorized Donna Lee... Can't play it anywhere near as fast as Jaco, bit I can get up to around 160bpms right now. :)

    Power Conditioner, yay or nay?

    I use the Furman that has the meters on the front... Not for any power regulation, but it does tell me if the power coning out of the wall is gonna handle me. In the case of my old SVT4pro, if the meter dipped in to the low YELLOW, I would get distortion or a tube sag sound. So in a sense, it...

    DR High Beams

    I like the Hi/Fat Beams on my Fenders and MM, but prefer the hex core tension on my Warwicks. Play what feels good to you, and DRs are great strings with enough options likely satisfy your tastes and playing styles. :)

    Who would you say is the best metal bassist??

    I don't think there's a "best", and every bass player mentioned so far are all monsters, but for metal, Frank Bello in early Anthrax deserves a tip of the hat. His "hammers on piano strings" tone cut through the chugga chugga of Scott and Dan so perfectly, but whenever he had a fill or the...

    Question for Pedalboard owners with Class D heads

    I picked up a Suncoast HD3 cause I was doing more and more gigs with either a backline or FOH in-ears, and still wanted to retain my tubey goodness with limiter option. I put a Radial at the end of my chain so the soundguy is always happy, and BOOM.... Nice fat analog sounding goodness with no...

    Tapered B strings

    You know, I guess I never thought about that. I use them on my Warwicks and Jerzy Drozd, and they have split bridges, so the taper only goes til about ~1/2" at the most past the saddle. I went to them years ago cause an untapered B string wouldn't fit in the slot on the Warwick (and I wanted...
