Almost everyone on the bill at the first UK Ozzfest as better than Ozzy and Black Sabbath. But Pantera's performance was up into legendary status.

How loud are the amp fans? Would you hear it next to a single clarinet for example? ta

I often use the 900 with a single or pair of One10. Works very well.

I had a pair of CN112 for a while. Sold them for my BF One10 pair. The Bergs were lovely but too pushed in the mids for me. They didnt sound the same as the previous HD112 that I had.

Video up. Sounds better than the Legacy I reckon. I love that proper chunky clean with a bit of grit thing.

Ive got a 4 string Sandberg Superlight and its roughly 6.5 lb Its a Mk1 Cedar wood. The new ones are paulownia - apparently they take paint better. Its a brilliant bass and Im saving for a 5 string as well.

Used £500 as a deposit and buy a Sandberg Superlight TT5 or TM5 Proper 5 string and under 8lb!

I'm really loving my ThorpyFX Fat General for every purpose at the moment. It's just lovely. Even made me sell my Cali76.

I have the D’addario and a snark one. the snark is much better and cheaper. Heard good things about the TC one though.

Sorry!

I like that. Wonder how much it will cost.

Now I've had my Marcus Limited for about 6 months I agree with you. The EQ centres on the Marcus versions are much better. The 250hz knob gets a lot of use and is excellent at controlling the low end without going muddy.

Head of Helix Eric Klein has said it will be $449.99 And that it will have Helix models "with few caveats" All will be revealed at 10am Pacific Time. From what I gather is that it will be Helix based, but that the signal path will be far simpler than the actual Helix. No midi, no XLR etc.

Not that I've seen... and it's a nightmare getting parts from EBMM too.

Expensive is just expensive. Eye-wateringly expensive is when the product doesn't seem to go with the price... so you are completely correct!

Quite. After a year there is always someone claiming they have the insider knowledge on a replacement and there's always someone who sells quick to be ready! If it sounds good today, it will still sound good tomorrow when the new one comes out.

I've got the MXR and I use it as an outboard bass preamp for basses I don't want to chop up. It's great for that. It is VERY VERY clean indeed. No character of it's own at all. I wouldn't use it the way you are looking for - would sound sterile to me. But that might be your thing? I'd be looking at a Tech21 or Darkglass for that - or the Helix Stomp. Helix is fantastic for bass.

I thought it was lower than expected. I thought they were going to pitch it at Fractal levels at £2000+, and they didn't. They've gone straight for the Kemper Profiler - their regular unit and the new floor unit are £1500 ish and the DG tech is 3 or 4 years newer. It's more than Helix, but Yamaha have huge economies of scale and the product is now mid life too, and Helix doesn't do profiling at all. I think it's well priced.

Could well be right. Might just have to put a fresh set on.

Stereo.. so the outputs can be bridged... (I'll get my coat).

If I like the song it stays forever. If I didn’t I might forget by the 2nd run through in a rehearsal.

It made me a bit concerned. At the beginning Doug said that the algorithms aren’t finished yet! That’s the reason for the”long” lead period. In software development 9 months is nothing. I hope I’m wrong but it feels like he’s launched a year early.
