I use my Helix in front of my amps all the time and just use it as an effects box really. Each one of my patches include a High and Low Cut EQ block, a compressor block and a Zeroamp block with varying degrees of intensity depending on the gig. Tone for days!

Does anyone who uses the Mosky dual footswitch have any recommendations for a low profile straight stereo TRS cable? The only ones I can find seem to be angled, which isn't really ideal for my board.

Get him to try IEMs and I guarantee he'll never go back Also, I know it might not be recommended, but 'one ear in, one ear out' does work to retain a bit of the live feel You can also buy in ear phones with ambient filters which let in some of the outside noise.

I like the Rochester set at 4:1 ratio

Played quite a few so far since lockdown ended (maybe 12) - thought I didn't miss it but I did!

Always loved his live tone, so crunchy

I like them - put a set on my Jazz and they are super bright. Not quite as tense as my usual DR Lo Riders which resulted in me raising the action a tad, but a lovely all round tone.

For most of the gigs I do, this is just not practical, hence why front porting (in my opinion) sounds a lot better in most rooms.

Well yes, but science doesn't matter when something sounds better to the customer in a real world environment.

It makes a sonic difference to some!

A port at the rear might sound the same, but the fact it's at the rear means there is effectively an object in the way of it and your ear (i.e. the cabinet itself). It's also further away from your ear. Could either of these explain why front ported cabs sound better to me?

Front porting always sounds better to my ears in a live gig situation though. The bottom end is surely more audible when it's coming from the front of a cab versus the back? Especially when a cab is placed against a wall (which happens lots of times at indoor gigs)

What's the logic behind this? I have always preferred the sound of front ported cabs - much more trouser flapping bottom end spilling out the front of it and no issues with boominess when placed beside a wall etc.

HI all Does anyone have that WinISD program who could spec me some new drivers for my 4ohm Aguilar DB410 cabinet? The stock drivers are rather poor, a couple are rattly and I think I will replace all four. The Aguilar replacements are both hard to source and expensive so I would be interested in alternatives from reputable speaker manufacturers. Thanks in advance! Danny

A P Bass is a P Bass. Mas Hino seems to have learned from the mistakes of the earlier Olinto builds which were £3k dogs.

One of the under utilised features of the Stomp (IMO) is the pitch shift. I have some patches set for -2 and -3 semitones for songs where my band drop tunes, and I am able to maintain my standard tuning and string setup. The tracking is immense also and the tone is perfect!

I use regular 45 to 105 for Drop C with no issues - the key is in the setup.

Brill strap! Best I have ever used. The Maruszczyk leather straps are also on my list.

This is almost as bad as the time Bass Direct sold a 1973 Jazz Bass with an aftermarket body

Ghost are probably my favourite metal band since Metallica. Absolutely fantastic

Just got a Gruvgear Solostrap Neo 4" - without a doubt the best strap I have ever used.

I have to say I have never noticed the weight of a bass ever and feel lucky that this isn't a consideration of mine.
