Hi guys, did anyone compare the built-in Microtubes models with Microtubes captures? Which sounds better?

This is cool! I'll have the pink one. Pink for punk!

Hi guys, I'm looking for a way to tilt my cab to serve as monitor and at the same time being able to put the head on top of the cab, presumably on some level stand of sorts, so that it doesn't fall from tilted cab and so that I can access it's controls easily (i.e. it's not laying on the ground next to cab). Do you use similar arrangement? Did you see it somewhere? Please post tips and links. Thx in advance!

I think it's poor wording of the title. But then I'm not native speaker, so forgive me. What you're saying is that your playing has improved not because you left a band, but because you started doing something new. So it should say "Did your playing improve once you started doing something new?" and then I can guess the answer would be "sure, yes" for most guys. If the band naturally evolves, then you should have opportunity to try something new within existing band, so leaving band is not necessary to improve. When my band was dissolved, I had period when I didn't feel like playing, so obviously my playing did not improve. But then I joined new band and I was motivated, invigorated and I have indeed improved my playing.

Bought a Darkglass Super Symmetry pedal from Roger. Fast transaction, good packaging, no issues. Recommended seller!

Got good experience with Ernie Ball Super Slinky.

@BassManGraham What amp did you use before? And could you make a quick comparison with Quilter, please? Edit: and additional question - is the line out level normalised or does it change with gain?

I tried 5-string Marcus Miller's Sire Jazz bass in store the other day and it was decent. I believe they start below £400.

Compressor. I'm using Bayger Sustainer, but any good compressor would do. Why? Check your favourite compressor thread :-)

Similar to guys above, I'd also suggest a pair of active monitors, plus some simple interface like Line6 UX1 or POD. Both monitors and interface can be easily found used for good prices. Advantage is that the monitors can actually faithfully represent your bass at relatively low "living room" volumes. I've been using old Line6 POD X3 with some Yamaha monitors (not sure about the exact model) and I'm very happy with the setup, it lets me play along the PC with near-zero latency with monitors or headphones and bass connected to POD and music coming from PC via USB and offers decent set of effects to compress and colour the bass. Near-zero latency, because it is actually made for live playing. Regarding 24/96 and DSD - why are you concerned about those? I thought you mentioned earlier that Hi-Fi and anything over 17KHz was not the goal... The point here is that the dirt-cheap interfaces I mentioned can do 24/48 extremely well and it seems to be adequate solution to your use case. Sure, you can use more advanced interfaces that can do 24/96 or even DSD, but will it make a difference?

This is true, "Class D" is a "D" simply because "D" follows "C".
