That's a lot of knobs. Coil split? Tone and volume? Either way, that thing looks sleek. Way too much bass for me; I have a base-level Jackson bass that I use for recording and writing, that's all I need.

It's less than what it seems, but I feel you. I'm 90% a guitar player, but do occasionally like recording stuff at home and this is one of the only real options for tuning bass down below A. This one easily gets down to F/E.

Right to left it's Volume, a 5 notch pickup selector, then the 3 band active EQ for the darkglass preamp. The toggle is between active and passive mode.

Oh that's sweet. Seems like an incredibly versatile bass then, especially for recording purposes.

Since there's no plugin thread I will babble about this here

ran out of space on my HD and went to clean some shit out. Ran a space analyzer and found that one of my chiptune VSTs had created several log files which were about 30gb each

like almost 1/4 tb worth of text making nintendo blorps :lol:

Jesus that's a lot of space. Can you get rid of the log files and still use the plugins? I don't know shit about how that works.

We'll find out :lol: deleted the fuck out of that shit. I assume it's literally all logs and has nothing to do with the operation of the software

I've thought about getting a shitty used 12-string acoustic just to have one, even though I know I'd barely use it other than the occasional recording part.

The last guitar I bought was a $179 Jackson bass a couple years ago and it's surprisingly good once I set it up. The stock single-coil pickup is decent enough, and the intonation and stability is good.
