There's free and there's worth having.
I've not seen a free one that comes close to Neural DSP Fortin or Native plugins.
I've recently put a little rig together - pair of Yamaha HS7 monitors, an old Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 and Reaper as my DAW.
I already had a Helix so that allowed me to buy the Helix Native plug in at £99 rather than full price giving me a Helix in my PC as well. And as there was a spring sale I bought a couple of Neural DSP Fortin plug ins - the NTS guitar amp and the bass specific Parallax.
Sounds great to me.
Don't have to use them like that.
I just use mine to knock my mini JCM800 down a little for house use.
No use at all on solid state though, and I think I read somewhere that they can even damage some SS amps.
Sandberg for me.
I did swap the pickups though - I wanted something like Bobby Vega's old jazz sound - he uses the original EMG J pickups so that what I put in mine. Very happy with it.
Lots of options.
Amplitube free will import files from your library. YouTube via website will slow down songs.
Almost every DAW will do it including free and low cost ones. Easy to import wave or mp3 files into a DAW.
Can slow down without changing pitch everywhere now. Very common.
So you’re telling my wife I should keep the pair of One10 but also get SC? Just to make sure I’ve got the best option for the room?
Ace!
I’ll let her know.
This thread is making me wonder about swapping my pair of One10 for a pair of SC.
Anyone done that swap?
I play old big band so to hear the SC works with an old RnB sound seems a good fit.
I've got one that I used to use on my stringray 5.
It works very well. Comes with slightly longer screws for a good fit - make sure you keep the old ones for if you you remove it.
I don't think anywhere outside of the USA stocks them - I think they direct sales / BBG / Ebay.
The demo of the 6 is ok, but seriously, I'd love to just hear someone play some actual bass lines on one.
Aretha Franklin / Otis Redding / The Who / etc etc
I've never tried one but I like Geezer's sound, and the core ABM sound. I was slightly put off by the removal of the compressor, but then again I cannot remember what the ABM compressor is like, let alone whether like it or not!

That's nearly half price!
If I wasn't banned from buying shiny things at the moment I'd have tried that.
I doubt a shared microphone can be adequately sanitised with a spray.
Would probably need disassembling and having the grill boiled and the foam behind it replaced.
