Named my white Epiphone classic pro bitd after my gf and the evil vampire dumped me. So selling it to clear the evil from my life. Treated myself the a trade and gave up my Stingray for the 2013 Gibson bird. Needless to say, never naming a bass after a gf againView attachment 3338190

I really like the wood on this bass, beautiful score!
 
Usually the pedals are laying flat. i get something set and leave it alone for the most part.

Except when you tip them up to show off, then manage to mess up your settings and forgot where you put the piece of paper with your settings. Then you spend days trying to find just the right settings again. But it is all your own damned fault.
 
You're the master of "out of focus". :smug:
I have a coupla nice 35mm Minoltas(film). I've been told I have a good eye for composition, depth of field, etc. I don't have sufficient need to invest a bunch of $$ in a digital body, even if I could use my lenses. Instead I could get the new Epi NR TBird II that's coming out soon.(TFIIC)

I got pics of my settings cause my broken brain can't retain much. But the DG controls aren't all that free moving.
Those settings i care more about then the the H/LPF, that's an easy one to set. :)

@JJR58 and I have discussed this in the past. I too am a film aficionado - a couple of Nikon FEs, a couple of relatively modern point and shoots, and a Pentax 67 medium format. I can still get C41 developed (I cant get E6 kits anymore, but I still do B&W at home) and I have a dedicated film scanner. Maybe I need a film scanner with tubes just to maintain my old school aesthetic.

One day when I am in NYC, I'll break into your place, erase your photos and reset everything on your amp and pedals. Explain that one to the cops - no they didn't take anything, just changed my settings...

I'm using an old F2B, and a Fuji XT-1. Only lenses i use these days are 4 Nikkor lenses.
As far as E6 processing goes. There are a lot of labs here in NYC that do it. Not sure how you feel about mailers with your film though. I guess in that respect, i have the luxury of actually going to the lab itself.

Yeah, I have a shipload of slides I shot in Navy days, most of which will never be seen(slide projector 'died'). And a more/less equal number of prints-mostly of my daughter growing up-and trains, mostly at operating RR museums. Both are projects I intend to attend to 'someday'.

Yeah, I could use mailers. But I used to do E6 at home. E6 evolved from E4 which was always intended to be a home process whereas C41 was always intended to be an industrial process (developed for the motion picture industry).
