Down to F# if I remember correctly Dood?

Now all we need is for wireless send and receive in a Line6 Helix board (hoping in V2!), theoretically they could go wireless bass to board and wireless board to amp.

I would look at separate amp and cab (if the opportunity arises), some hartke stuff can move about stupidly cheap and so can ashdown. Both are great in their price bracket. As mentioned, Trace Elliot can also be had cheap but personally I bloody hate the sound of everything I've ever heard from them and they generally weigh in heavier than the competition

If the band before is killing it then I'll get psyched enough. Failing that, pre-workout and headphones blasting some seriously energetic tunes 15 minutes before going on will do the trick

Glad you all had a blast, unfortunately I couldn't make it as it was my mother in laws birthday

Oooo now that's interesting. I love my NV610 but I keep meaning to take it out of the cupboard and list it.

Profile Pics and the like are across, atleast from an old backup Old posts are across too but due to a change in the way the software formats things it's left it a bit messy. The new software is great though, I'm just ironing out some oddities!

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I've managed to find an overpriced board that will get me back up and running until I can do it properly

Does anyone know where you can buy a 1155 chipset motherboard still? I'm 99% sure mine just popped (I can get the power supply to spin up by connecting pins together). I can't afford to upgrade the whole machine!

I expect I'll see you there silv!

Mount a rackboard helix into a FR800 as a combo, job done

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1502980813' post='3354845'] Although it's not live yet - the Native will be controllable with the helix footcontroller (the one used with the rack), so that's definitely possible. Grab the 14 day trial version of native and try it. It will probably show zero presets - just click on the helix logo and they will load [/quote] I would do but I really have to focus on writing at the moment

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1502961726' post='3354638'] It sounds just like the Helix through my headphones. This is going to be so useful! [/quote] This raises an interesting dilemma... Do I go for a Helix... or... Get the native plugin, Ableton live, Laptop The latter would give me lot more capability technically. I mean it could even run a lightshow or similar

Next up, getting the back of the neck to match

Sweet! They have support for AAX too

[quote name='AndyW' timestamp='1502456613' post='3351607'] Hahahaha that's two of us doing panic buys now Might be a good investment if these price hikes are permanent. The Fractal AX8 would be much more tempting if Line 6 stick with these prices #badmove. Can easily buy one in Thailand when I'm there next month for less than the big Helix. [/quote] Try finding one to try in this country though!

To get anything bright enough I expect you'll spend more on colour changing bulbs than a simple stagelighting fixture

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1502367971' post='3350971'] I've not really had a massive amount of time to set it up and have a proper play yet, but I am very pleased at how easy it is to create a patch. Having been using Positive Grid's BIAS FX and of course previously Line 6's own Pod Farm, i like the idea of a GUI where you can see the absolute signal path. Added FX to the chain is a breeze, assigning pedals to each effect (or multiples of effects) is a breeze and very handy. Signal routing is a must for me too, so I like the idea that I essentially have four different outputs to assign to what ever job I want as well as of course more than one input. The sounds are all brilliant and something had to give having been used to a mix of external pedals and 'hub' processor, I wanted more (drives etc) inside one box. The gigs I am doing now mean that I can rock up with one box, my IEM kit and a couple of basses and that's it. So it's looking promising! [/quote] That's really good to know, especially as we seem to generally have a similar sound in mind. I was actually mailing bass direct earlier about moving some gear on in favour of getting one of these (and saving a significant amount of space at the same time!)

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1502355096' post='3350829'] Rich Tone Music have the LT for £725. I've shopped online with them a few times and have been happy with the service. I got mine when the price went really low and managed to bag a 24 months interest free credit to boot!! [/quote] You've got an LT? How do you find it?

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1502316253' post='3350696'] If you want to buy, buy now! £400 price hike at Andertons! [/quote] What on earth...

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1502281578' post='3350436'] I guess it was inevitable given that so much effort went in to modelling all the different parts of his original and much loved Pearce pre-amp, but nevertheless I am very pleased it has happened! [/quote] Time will tell! Touring it for a bit is one thing, one thing is certain and that's if anything annoys him about it then it'll be gone in no time
