We all go through those ups and downs in life that all too often either get in the way or simply suck the pleasure of playing our music so I feel you 100%. I'm going through some borderline major health issues that have me mostly off my creative game, I think about it but just ain't there yet.
I'm just coming out the other side after 3 years of not having the physical or mental space to play at all (also related to work, relationship and house moves). Lots of gear buying and selling to distract me over that time but I finally picked up the bass gave it some proper attention this week... happy to say the inspiration came flooding back. Probably playing better after 3 days of practice than I was 3 years ago

Thanks man. I have no doubt you and your Mojo will find each other again when the time is right

I just bought an Ultrawave which should be here this week. I've spent the past two years playing an old Bass Multiwave and I now use enough sounds, and the want to switch between those sounds, to warrant the new pedal. (Or, at least, that's what I'm telling myself.)
The Ultrawave is too deep and that's what's kept me from it until now. But the basic distortions between it and the Multiwave should be the same, and then some. My first order of business is to find sound #15, the first "normal single band" setting. That's "the sound" and it's just a nice thick overdrive/distortion. My octave sound (#3) is cool, but it cuts bass. so I'll need to dial that in. The wacky one is #4, which has envelope and octave at higher gain.
I think the trick will be only dialing in sections. It's always the subtle changes that make things work in the band. Then I can use the community presets for entertaining myself.
Well, if someone put that sound in a boutique pedal with fancy paint, it would sell for more than the Ultrawave!

It’s nothing that should prevent your buying an MC6 Pro.
I've recently acquired an MC6 Pro. It is very new and shiny. Highly recommended.
