Cheeky little update: OC-5 bumped for the Phaser. Decided to move the OC-5 on as it just wasn’t going to get used, the conclusion I always reach when buying a straight up octave pedal. Originally planned to grab a Source Audio C4 to replace the octaver, but the cost to get midi set up with the ES-5 was just too much, and changing presets by switch wasn’t an option for me. So I went with a crazy phaser instead and love it!

Sold @Jonathan Bee a Boss pedal, very patiently waited after I had to deal with a couple of tyre kickers and then paid immediately, enjoy mate!
-
Purchased a rather lovely phaser off @Higgie, no issues whatsoever, cheers bud!
-
Unless my eyes are playing tricks, this used to be mine Amazing bass, still haven't heard another Warwick like it. Barts sound fantastic! -
And sold! -
I have been considering picking up a set of heavy Boomers for the same reason, coming from D'addario as well. Interested in responses to this!
-
This did sell but buyer backed out, so available again!
-
And then there are the vintage P basses. Don't sound or play quite as well as the others, but you convince yourself they are even better 🙃
-
Absolutely this. Plenty of scorn poured on people who sell their bass a month or two after a glowing NBD thread or review, but it happens. You can’t possibly truly know how you will get on with a bass past the honeymoon period until you’ve had it a bit, particularly when it’s a “dream”, you’ve planned it, bought it and want it to be perfect. I’ve certainly owned basses that have sounded fantastic at home/in ears, but when I’ve took it to a rehearsal/gig, had it on the strap for hours and heard it in the room/mix, I’ve been turned completely off.

ohh a BF-2B. Hmmm... -
Don't feel like you should start using them unless you are genuinely missing something. Sometimes, clean bass just works! Genre of music I play in, clean bass would be a complete no-go if I had any intention of being heard in the mix. It all depends on the context. If you want to dabble though, I'd forget single pedals and go for a cheap multi effects, like you say from Zoom. Flick through and get an idea of what sounds you like, and either stick with it or search out solo pedals to improve on it.

Stunning bass! -

So interested in what this sounds like on bass! -
And your board is probably better for it! What is the main reason you were looking to move from the OC-2?

Beauty!

Yeah it's the jack to mini xlr type. You don't need the Shure cable, there are a few cable builders who sell suitable ones on Amazon and the like, from one of which I bought a spare. No issues though Not really sure how it would fail really. I guess if you stretch it or mess with it, but my pack is kept in a pocket on my strap, so the plugs are never pulled or stretched in any way.
-
Been using the Shure GLXD16 for a couple of years now, flawless. Picked it up 2nd hand for a very decent price, but it's worth the new cost. I've been around enough guitarists with failing line 6 models to make me never consider them! The Boss one did tempt me, I can't remember what I read about it that put me off, which isn't very helpful!
-
Torn, to be honest. Nothing too surprising, C4 or FI. Owned both, sold both, now want one back. I blame people like you...

Nail on the head, and the entire point of this thread

The recently released Boss OC-5. Perfect recreation of the OC-2 tone (with extra volume from the original, a huge improvement!) in vintage mode, and Poly mode brings in a really solid deep polyphonic octave, stable as you like, with a really quite musical octave up. Royal Blood vibes galore. In excellent condition in box with velcro on the bottom, have only owned for a few weeks and decided to go for a synth pedal instead. Very hard to get hold of for some reason at the moment, out of stock everywhere! So good op to grab one. 48h shipping included.
-
I had a similar experience. Always dreamed of owning a Wal, the perfect tone in my head. Managed to get hold of one, the tone was wonderful...but everything else just didn't work. Neck shape, pickup shape, ergonomics, none of it. Shame, if I'd have hung on to it, i'd have got a few grand more selling it now...
-
What?? Fantastic that you live such a privileged life, but perhaps a £1k or so investment on a bass is a lot of money for some people?
-
Yeah that's what I thought, and presumably (yes, I'm new to this) you would just put the two pedals on different channels and all will work once set up etc?
-
Just for clarity, I use a Boss ES-5 as a midi controller, currently sending midi to a Darkglass ADAM pedal. To use this with the C4, would I need to buy the hub? Would I then connect the Hub USB to the C4, the Hub Midi out to the ADAM, and the Hub Midi In to the ES-5??
