I would touch bass with @funkle … he’s the expert around here
-
I found silicon Christmas tree work for me, - they go in the ear canal but are held in by a gentler pressure than foam buds. I couldn't get comply style foam to work consistently.
-
I had a EQ1 in a Warwick streamer as my main bass for about a decade. complex but very learnable once you understand what you’re doing.

I was thinking that would be the best way if one wanted to avoid remortgaging to afford it!

Cult of Zoom MS-50G/MS-60B/MS-70CDR/G1(X)on/B1(X)on

And the rain mixer at the end of chain 👌 - I have no idea why it wasn’t a factory patch to do that and add clean blend after everything -

Lots of guitar based patches on r/zoommultistomp but would love to have some more bass bassed inspiration. (I got my ms70cdr last week after someone on the forum answered my wanted ad) -
The metro Japan basses are lovely... but the "they are all lightweight" is something they started doing in the Warwick-Sadowsky era - so don't presume that it's going to be lightweight. I have a 4 string Will Lee metro - I only got it in a trade as it was going to be easier than my bass to sell on... that was 6 years back and it's been my main bass since

What the other three said - from what you’ve said you’ve not played live much before… church is a great way of learning to play live - aim for getting the simple things bulletproof before adding anything else. the main skill to focus on isn’t playing interesting lines, but listening to the others in the band and learning to lock in and play in a supportive way. It’s very easy to come up with the best riff ever at home and then get to Sunday and find the drummer has a different idea of what the rhythm is doing and it doesn’t fit

that depends on the bass amp's effect loop. Mine is series so that wouldn't work. Parallel would.

stop telling us things that there are things you can't tell us! 😝

oh man - where have you been? short answer - yes, almost

Oddly enough, I like it low gain in barbershop type territory, but it feels more alive than the barbershop clone I made. -
Someone asked me for clips of my MiniXO - while I had everything setup I made some soundclips of it too ....
-
so I figured it was best for the forum selling rules to start a proper post... So @SamIAm, @tauzero, @rmorris, @bobbass4k I have made a warts and all build doc which is linked in the post to try and put you all off...
-
Homage to Ted Hughes on the PCB too... it seemed cool at the time!

some of my build shots....

Short version: A PCB with a circuit like a Smallsound/Bigsound Mini ... which is itself very like the Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop in terms of circuit if nothing else... I have 9 8 7 6 3 of them up for grabs For sale posted to your door in the UK for the price of a pint! (My pints are £5 from Amity brewery down the hill in Farsley) Long version: Years back I got into building pedals, then sold them all and forgot it. Then I got into it again. Sometime in 2022 I tried to make my own PCB. It was an utter disaster of a process let down by me not planning ahead... fast forward a bit and I get a load of premade PCB from PedalPCB and other places, build more stuff and learn more... One of the ones I made was a Barbershop overdrive clone - I loved it - Mild JFet overdrive is my happy place. The Barbershop sounded a lot like Beta pedal without the Beta's baked in bass boost... A barbershop with EQ would be cool I thought... "look for a SS/BS Mini" someone on talkbass said... well I couldn't afford that but I found someone else layout and figured I could make my own - but redesign the PCB to fit in a 1590b... Which would get me a pedal I wanted to try AND tick the "successfully design a PCB" item off the bucket list.... I almost did it .... So it's not a perfect, there's two traces missing that you have to do manually... and if you've never made a pedal before JFETs aren't like ICs that are plug and go... and fitting it in a 1590a is not the easiest thing you will have done with your life... and I'm not offering support beyond the build doc (and being a nice guy) But if you've built the odd pedal before none of this should be a problem... There is a build document here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tmyy3kRHbvgvlTAjUWAN9k2UuxKYZ2yRWj447h42MhM/edit?usp=sharing I am not sending you anything till you've looked at the build document and understand what you'll get - If you want to build your first pedal pick a Aion Electronics or PedalPCB kit from Musikding, If you want a SS/BS Mini pre built buy one - or a Noise Space Audio Piggy , I did get asked if I would build these up and sell them... it's not something I'ld be massively keen on... So I figured sell them, price of a pint including UK postage. I have 10 PCB, and @jimbobothy is having one of them for his first pedal build - so that leaves 9 9 8 7 6 3 left if anyone wants them.

Yep, getting documentation and guide on a google doc

So now I’ve got the subscription I can ask this here… I made a pcb up for my clone of a ss/bs mini - it sounds amazing and can go from low gain barbershop style od to fill on fuzz. Went together ok, not pro level pcb, two traces missed and my resistors were slightly bigger than the footprint I used. where I ended up - I have 9 spare pcb - one is going to a mate - so I’ve made an instruction document … so should I … 1) chuck the pcb 2) sell them on here - I was thinking “buy me the equivalent of a beer”. 3) I’ve had one person tentatively ask for a made up one - so make a small run and sell ? 4) something else ? the missed traces 🤦🏻♂️ I used a fuzz dog 3pdt pcb and two of their “fet pets” for the smd jfets 1590b - of course!

JHS?

So I've a MS70cdr and just tried it out... Stick it at the end of your chain and you can turn off the whole chain (as per LineSel) .... Turned on you can blend clean into effected... So run a delay into a reverb into a bit crusher - full wet.... and then add the clean in at the end!
-
I made a wanted thread and Sam kindly offered to sell me what I was looking for... amazing and thank you so much @SamIAm

Those are global stats - but if you look at us/uk/japanese markets iOS is more prevalent. It depends where Zoom are trying to sell their products too. none of which stop the ms100bt being the ugly duckling of the product line with or without an android ap

I have no horse in that race - it was pure Sunday morning wondering and trying to work out why!
