My understanding is that the engineers were more concerned with straight jack versus 90 degree angle jack tone, rather than the coiled cable versus straight cable tone controversy that plagues us bassists.

makes sense, they probably sweep Switchcraft, Neutrik, Amphenol...(and others) parameters as well...My understanding is that the engineers were more concerned with straight jack versus 90 degree angle jack tone, rather than the coiled cable versus straight cable tone controversy that plagues us bassists.
I believe that is true as well. Thanks for catching that!makes sense, they probably sweep Switchcraft, Neutrik, Amphenol...(and others) parameters as well...
OH! Well, in that case.....But it simulates a $5k cable and that makes ALL the difference.

It simulates a 10' cable but actuates removal of an additional $20 from your bank account.
Battery life on the BOSS is 'up to' 12 hrs - way longer than the cheap units which are 3-5 hrs.
I really don’t notice a difference with my bad ears.
They never got much notice here. Like so many from Oz, record company ignored them. Multiple lineup changes probably didn’t help. I only recall hearing them a bit in the mid-eighties then forgotten. Sad to hear.

I had a coiled cord back in the day - they look cool and all but when they get old they get tangled and mis-shaped. I'll appreciate from the audience.
I love the guy. He stole the show in the movies. To me, he is the epitome of a great drummer. Steady beat with tasteful fills. Like Fleetwood, he is so much an important part of the band’s sound.Ringo has a very unique style and sounds like no other drummer - part of that is due to Ringo being a left-handed drummer playing on a right-handed drum kit. Also he's RINGO.
It just rolls off a little high end, so depending on the rest of your gear, it’s negligible.
The G30 actually works as a buffer at the front of my pedalboard so I don’t have to be concerned with any of the pedals loading down the bass pickups.
And it has lots of dynamic range.
Great tune, love this band.
Agreed! Kinda like Bill Wyman. Not a flashy technical player, but played stuff that fit and gave the his band a signature sound/groove.

I heard a radio piece on Morrissey - apparently he's huge in Mexico.
Huh. Probably so, but I’m only an at home player now and concentrate on other things. I actually use them in the three places I practice. My G30s just work. At least so long as I remember to turn the transmitter off when I’m done...
