Hi all, I wondered if anyone could clarify for me whether playing pub gigs is currently allowed and is it actually classed as working ? My band has been offered a few gigs in a tier 2 (high risk) area so I would like to confirm that the household mixing doesn’t apply for musicians playing live music on stage. we are not ‘pro’ musicians as such but do get the usual pub band fee. I can’t seem to find anything in black and white which covers this ! thanks in advance !

Bought a lovely Fender Jazz from Chris, very helpful chap and shipped the bass out to me with a 24hr courier. Couldn’t be happier with my new toy ! I’m sure I will be helping him reduce his collection again in the future

Thanks for the replies, going to try the 4CM at next rehearsal, sound is good anyway but i'll see if it opens up the helix a bit more. I'm using the svt amp and cab model. amp only through the OBC410 just doesn't sound right to me, too trebly.

Hi, so I’ve recently picked up a helix floor unit and the thing is amazing. Currently I’m running it through a orange terror head and obc410. The headrush has caught my eye and I’m wondering if it will be the answer to a clear uncoloured sound as my main stage sound replacing the orange gear. I will say I haven’t yet tried the 4CM, just running straight into the front of the amp. Any thoughts on the headrush ? Anyone use one for bass ? thanks

Managed it

Thanks

Hi, I am in the process of fitting a j retro to my jazz bass, does the ground wire coming from the bridge of my jazz need soldering anywhere ? I’m getting a good signal without it but wondered what others have done. Thanks

I haven't got a helix yet but here's hoping santa brings me one in a few weeks. I've seen a few videos on it and I think all the manuals are on that USB stick. I can't decide whether or not to ditch the AD200B and go with a helix through an orange terror bass! I've heard the svt amp modelling is spot on.

Hi, I have found that the passive input jack is not working as it should on my amp i.e when in use there will be no sound unless you wiggle the jack a little. The active one is fine. I have had a look inside and all the soldering is solid. Would it just need a clean or replacement? If it needs replacing is it a straightforward job? I would assume it can be any similar one from maplins or somewhere like that. Thanks
