I'd be shocked if even that is vegan. I haven't been there is years (certainly not since going vegan) mostly because I just assume nothing is going to be vegan. I bet even the beans are cooked in some sort of meat stock.
My drummer got this message this morning, and like that, my longest stretch without playing a Denver show continues.
With COVID, I'm a little out of touch...

Ugh, this really made my modulation GAS flare up! Once again time to look for a new flanger...
Sounds great though!
Finally got around to listening to this. It's quite a trip.
I like how you keep the low B in reserve! For a long time I thought it was a four string. Well done.

The F.13 I got on Reverb was $150 shipped, with tax. Not too bad...I'd recommend considering it.
Thanks. I've definitely learned the hard way that the low notes have WAY more impact when doled out sparingly.
As far as wanting to dive into modulation and maybe not knowing what you want I can recommend the small zoom single multistomp. Such a good piece, I still regret selling mine. I really need to pick up another. The flanger, chorus and one of the filters have to this day still been my favorite of their kind.

everybody should start with a multi modulation pedal. I had the boss MD-200 for a while. Great fun!
My first major foray into effects - aside from a small stone big box that I randomly acquired early on - was the Boss ME-8B. Great intro to octave, modulation, and delay. I was so nostalgic about it that I picked one up on here last year...
Is that the boss one with an expression and like 4 switches? Always wondered how those were.
They have a few like that, this one is an older plastic behemoth.
Considering the era and that they’re like $100 now, there’s some very usable effects. The flanger, chorus, delay, and octave are all surprisingly good. The wah/filter is fine. The synth is fun but cheesy. The dirt is pretty bad.
Speaking of effects...I got the Gamechanger Audio Light Pedal a couple days ago. The thing is really wild. There's so much it can do...sometimes it feels like an instrument unto itself. Here's a little sample I made with some modulated delay, and a tiny amount of stereo reverb after the Light Pedal just to keep the signal from being mono: Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread
I swear sometimes it sounds like there are voices coming out of the thing

I wanted to pick some of your brains and I feel more comfortable in this thread since I used to post often. Hopefully this is okay.
I'm looking at a new side hustle that requires a substantial investment in equipment. So I'm looking at creative ways to use the equipment.
So here is my question.
How interested would you be in custom pickguards that had designs cut/carved into them? Stock designs and possibly custom.
Also, would you be interested in alternative shapes depending on model of instrument? Either complete deviations from original or small changes like the attachment? (Obviously this varies by instrument what is possible and this is just a quick photoshop.)
And so by interested I mean; is it something you would actually purchase? And what do you think you'd be willing to pay? (I'm trying to figure out if it's worth my time or if the cost is prohibitive)
Thanks,

I did purchase an aftermarket (it wasn't really custom in the sense that they made it to my specifications) pickguard for my Dingwall NG, and would've jumped at the chance to get something more custom because there weren't really a lot of options out there. I paid $70 for it and since getting an actual NG3 pickguard (my NG started life as an NG2) the aftermarket one I got has just sat in the closet. I have no intention of using it again. The Dingwall is my only bass with a pickguard. So, to answer your questions, while I wouldn't purchase a custom pickguard now there was a point in the past when I would've. As for what I was willing to pay, I paid $70 (in retrospect that seems like a lot for what I got, but if you're making something custom it wouldn't seem unreasonable).
As usual I'm not much help.
Nah, it's helpful. Thanks.
I bought a custom pickguard (The one in the picture) from Chandler for $60 and it was cut wrong and required dremeling so I never ordered another.

Making things go whoomp, whoomp since 1994
Our drummer isn't vaccinated due to bullsh*t family stuff, and Switzerland is at 2000 reported cases per 100k people per 7 days right now, so yeah. I don't think the February gig will happen.
Keep safe, everybody.

So you want to make and sell fancy custom pickguards. I see the attraction. Cool idea.
What material will you make them from? On Etsy I recall seeing pickguards from carved leather, with some sellers taking custom orders. I'd say look over there to get an idea of what prices are common. It may also be a good selling platform for you.

To add to your market research, I'll just say that I would never buy a leather pickguard. For several reasons.
@Sascha Erni Ouch! That's bad. Best of luck, bass brother.
