My good Friend was able to meet Emylou a couple of years ago. She is his Favorite. Was able to visit for a few minutes of her time after the Concert. He is a Very good Pedal Steel player. Just had to ask if she needed one for the band! Graciously declined.

There’s a club in Nashville called Nudies. Some rich dude collected many of his old suits, guitars, posters...even bought his old Cadillac and had it mounted to the wall. Sadly the club itself is pretty lame, but the old pieces are incredible
Naw, I think nudie suits are the ones with tassels, G strings and copious amounts of body glitter.

Maybe in the US. In Canada, it's a bit more literal.... well there's still body glitter.Naw, I think nudie suits are the ones with tassels, G strings and copious amounts of body glitter.

Curious if anyone uses modeling stuff like the Helix or Fractal AX8 with their ‘Birds. Seems like once a year I check in with that stuff to see what folks are doing because it seems like something that should work well. I even want it to work well. I just never have heard any examples that would motivate me to take the plunge. To be fair, I’m just listening to clips and tutorials, so I can’t rightly dismiss the stuff as I haven’t seriously tried to use it myself. Most of the bass players who use this kind of tech do a heavily processed metal kind of sound, which is cool, but not what I’d be going for. I also find tons of menus and tweaky stuff and that doesn’t look fun to me.
But it should work and be cool! I mean, my phone is way more powerful than any huge computer I ever owned just a few years ago (at least it seems that way). Just curious if anyone has had any positive experiences with these units?

We use Native Instruments GuitarRig in our band for both bass and guitar both live and for recoording. I also have a Behringer V-Amp Pro and a Bass V-Amp Pro that we might use live in the future.
Only got the Behringer modules a couple of months ago, and haven't used them live yet, but they seem quite capable for this.
We run GuitarRig off our PowerBook Pro live, which works really great.

In part, I suppose. A modeling amp, like the Fractal AX8 uses modeling software so that in theory at least, you can run any (virtual) amp through any (virtual) effects, into any (virtual) cab sim. Every parameter can be tweaked to the nth degree. Again, unbelievably cool on paper, but I’m lacking good real world examples of why I should go down that very deep and expensive rabbit hole
That makes me miss my '08 white 'Bird.
(Truthfully, that 'Bird wasn't that great. It sounded wrong, but it's still one gone from the flock, which is now just a solo 'Bird.) Congrats on the awesome bass!
