I'm going to ask a question, give very minimal parameters, and then argue with every answer I get because, on point of fact, I know more than you.

Physics? Nah Doesnt apply to me.

Your experience? You're dumb.

Seriously, if anyone needs to vent from certain other posts, please come here.

So.............how do you deal with gravity? Asking for a friend.

You may have made someone’s head explode with this one.

Phil certainly did.

Knobs on a bass that should exist:

- knob to control guitarist's volume
- knob to control drummer's tempo
- singer ego adjustment knob

Also, a toggle switch that disables noodling in between songs.

Man. I knew of the MoMark and know it didn’t do well, but I’ve never seen all the modules. So cool!

ahem I mean uh… too many knobs and too many points of failure. Yeah.

That string spacing sets my ocd on fire.

How about this Origin Effects RevivalDrive Custom. Granted, it's for a guitar but, it has 17 knobs on the top along with 6 toggles and two such buttons. On the top it has 3 dip switches and the bottom has 4 switches for a total of 11 different positions. That's over 30 different knobs, toggles, dip switches and regular switches on a pedal that's 6"x5"x2"!!!

The really amazing thing is that every single one of them has a real function that is noticeable! It may intimidate many but a little time with the manual and maybe a couple of the OE instructional videos and it becomes an impressive pedal.View attachment 4327070

If my math is correct just the switches alone gives you 139,968 different settings.

And that doesn't include the two footswitches.

Love how we are 5 pages in just bagging on that guy.

I'm just bummed I never got to express how sad it was that his Markbass LM3 stopped working for him..........




while I look over and smile at my LM2 that has given me no problem in 14 years.

This, the next generation of that model, has 'not a hole' on the front:

Why plug a microphone into your bass? Argh again.

 

[SteveCS]

but, there’s so many potential points of failure!

Or multiple options for redundancy?

I've seen consoles like that in many many places and I don't think I've ever seen one where every channel strip is occupied.

I love pretty knobs.
Want some purple sparkly glow in the dark knobs.

Just have not gotten them yet.

You know where to get'em

Imagine the number of pages in the manual.........:0)
