  1. I've got it. Very good. I'm using my Helix more these days but I'll never delete SVX.
  2. Wow! That is amazingly light for one of these. I've got someone coming to see my Les Paul tomorrow, if it goes I'll be in touch.
  3. [quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1500414612' post='3337658'] I think it will be a £3-500 bracket. If it does produce that sound at a quarter or the dug amp price it's a winner [/quote] I've just seen the price of the amp. Gear4music have them for order at £2549 Quarter price would be £637 No frakking way.
  4. Anyone installed the Tone Capsule in a precision? Any good? Does it still allow a signal through when the battery is dead? I am tempted!
  5. That tiny clip sounds very nice - but I'd have to have a proper go. I get a very similar sound with my DG M900.
  6. Do you know the weight please?
  7. Big price drop down to £300 That's £225 off a new one, and this has never left my lounge (much to the annoyance of the missus!)
  8. Price drop on the Duality to £145 delivered in the UK ta
  9. I wasn't aware of people saying that the crowd won't notice incompetence. I do think they don't notice a lot - but incompetence usually stands out to most people.
  10. Lovely. I'll grab that when I get home. Thank you.
  11. Can the hive mind help? I'm looking for accurate bass notation / tabs for Cupid's Dead Cynical Hip Today There are many half-correct tab versions on the usual sites, but if anyone has proper notation that would be excellent ta
  12. Yamaha RBX? http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x417/ronan400/IMGP1813.jpg
  13. [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1499177509' post='3329720'] Quite. A vocal has a range. A song which sounds great with one voice (the one of whoever wrote it, say) might sound wrong with another. A shunt in one direction or another might bring the song alive for the singer in question. A far better thing to ask might be about why some musicians are so fixated on the importance of the key a song was originally written in. [/quote] This. In spades. The OP reads a lot like someone who has never sung. It's akin to demanding that a bassist play a low D on a 4 string tuned EADG. What do you mean you can't do it? What do you mean your instrument doesn't do it? Why are you crap at your instrument?
  14. Here you go. 19mm spacing at the bridge and a 43mm nut [url="http://mayones.com/page/jabba-hadrien-feraud-5"]http://mayones.com/p...adrien-feraud-5[/url] Actually the vid review says 18 mm bridge spacing and Bass Direct says 19 mm.
  15. I like the old ones - but the unusual pickup mounting is annoying for us modders.
  16. [quote name='subaudio' timestamp='1498783396' post='3327066'] Indeed but as it's a video to promote the bass I'd have thought they would have made sure they show the full range of the bass rather than harmonics and mid to upper flash etc. If they are trying to sell me a 5 string bass, I want to hear the B string being played properly so I can make an informed choice. I like Yamaha a lot I'd just like a more rounded/fuller view of what it can/cant do. [/quote] Agreed. I've had plenty of 5 strings where all the bass except the low string has been excellent. Need some nice low piano tone notes from that B string to decide.
  17. [quote name='The59Sound' timestamp='1497816545' post='3320709'] Yes and there are no custom charges. [/quote] Where from?
  18. https://www.gak.co.uk/blog/yamaha-bb-series/ I like the look of the 434. I have severe gas for a PJ at the moment.
  19. Full details are here: https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/article.php?article_id=192 It is being hosted by Ross Bailey (Rossyamaha on the Fretboard forum) who is a very handy session player and the font of all helix knowledge. No doubt it will be concentrating on guitar use, but the Helix is an amazing bass unit too, and the routing options are beyond anything else I've ever heard of. Apparently it will be streamed on the Yamaha facebook page too. I'm most annoyed I can't get out of work. I love my Helix - it has replaced multiple preamps and pedals for me and I've only scratched the surface.
