YI do have to admit, I have been busy going overboard with effects all weekend. I have a B3 that I have come to dislike and am switching to a pedalboard setup. Right now, it consists of a Korg tuner, EBS MultiComp and UniChorus and a Darkglass Vintage Microtubes deluxe. I REALLY like the VMTD and may have to buy some more Darkglass - if you are susceptible to GAS, like I am, you may want to stay FAR away from Darkglass. I'm thinking of getting their compressor and the B7K. Anyway, I toned down the drive on the VMTD and it worked really well at church yesterday. We went to no amps and IEM's a year ago and I wanted a warmer/tubey sound that the VMTD delivered. I still miss my pant's legs flapping, though. How can you play bass and not have your pant's legs flap????? :roflmao::roflmao::bassist:

I've owned a VMT, VMTD, B3K, and B7K over the last 3-4 years and settled on a B3K and VMTD pair. All fantastic pedals, but ultimately I sold my VMTD and B3K when I got a Source Audio Bass OFD. I won't go so far as to say I can get the OFD to sound exactly like B3K or B7K, but I can get pretty stinking close to the VMT or VMTD, and the ability to have two footswitches was huge (for me anyway). I was then able to buy another three pedals with the difference in $ of the Darkglass gear to the SA gear.

So, I gather up today's mail and to my surprise this little item was in there. But why? Anyone know why these get sent?

Congrats!

You are a supporting member of the LOG.... One of the benefits of being a supporting member is the potential to win "stuff".

The LOG has random drawings for strings every month and other items ( such as pickups etc) afew times per year.

That is why.

Hi Lakland group - if anyone is looking for a 55-14, I have one for sale in the classifieds. Bought it last year and it's a fantastic bass. Unfortunately, I've been having CTS issues related to my job and can't play a 5 anymore.

Sorry to learn this. Seriously, look into b6 supplements for CTS. Has been proven to greatly improve symptoms to the point of not needed surgery. Invalid Link Removed

Good luck! Here is testimoney on doctoryourself.com about the use of b6
ITAMIN B6 FOR CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME


Nancy Watson Dean (age 90-plus) of Rochester, NY writes:
“I have just experienced such an amazing relief from this condition, which came upon me about a year ago, in the shape of hands tingling and hurting more often as time went on. I presently realized it was carpal tunnel, when shooting pains hit both hands.
“I knew Vitamin B-6 would help, and it did, but only a little. So remembering a paper by the Texas doctor, John Marion Ellis, M.D., who said that large amounts didn't seem to bother him in any way, I pulled out all the stops and increased it to 200 milligrams 4 times daily. I
also stopped eating salt. The carpal tunnel disappeared.
“I am thrilled, out of pain, and the hands are growing stronger by the hour.
“This is a very widespread ailment. Perhaps the maintenance and attacks of the condition are entirely individual: just find the amount that 'cures' you. Wouldn't the medics hate that idea!”

Thought I'd share a vid of me and my skyline 55-64 growling our way through a hastily thrown together Grace Potter cover.
Singer/Songwriter gigs are fun.
