    Line 6 Helix.

    LukeFRC replied to fretmeister's topic in Effects

    I recently picked up a B3n and did consider saving for a Helix ... the one big advantage I could see other than price was the Helix is a top of the range guitar effects pedal with bass functionality added... where as the B3n models some quite esoteric bass equipment- you get the feeling that someone at Zoom plays bass

    Is it the MN type you wanted? (Centre both 100%)

    You never see the Fender Charles Mingus sig with the wobbley criss cross details? Mingus was famous for it...

    Just me that sees that and wants to paint it surf green or something - I can’t even play electric guitar!

    Not sure you’ve PMd me!

    Chalk and cheese, and then confused by Barts classic range so that it’s like chalky cheese. Anyway @Andyjr1515 amazing build, was supposed to be getting an early night but stayed up reading this- you’re making me want to build another bass when the problem is I’ve too many basses in the house!

    You know you could have gone to private messages quite a while back right? 😋

    I was feeding my zoom B3 into the return on my amp and it sounded amazing - I’m able to tune the B3 to what I want far better than straight into an amp - made me wonder again if I really need an amp and just get a FRFR pa speaker
  12. LukeFRC
    I would have one of them again

    Looks beautiful

    I think there is a certain utilitarian feature to the design - I actually like that about them. Either that or homages to Yamaha musician models? One of my favourite things about classic Warwick are that there’s no fancy wood tops for cosmetic reasons. Problem is most people going to a custom builder seem to want fancy wood bling

    Go really different - get a trumpet or other brass instrument.

    I think if you can get the seal right that they should have a bit more bass than with the silicon.

    What’s left on your GAS list? I found it quite it quite good to write out a list of all the basses I wanted to try/own - I think I’ve had all but two models on the list...

    Just wondering which ones the "regular rubber tips" are? I've been using UE900s for a while now, church set up, no backline and everything IEM with our own little mixer things... With the Silicon tips they are more or less useless for me. I can't get a good enough seal to get much low end. The comply foam tips give me the seal I need to hear the bass - I often end up cutting the bottom end on the eq on the mixer for my send- and need to massively turn the kick drum down in order for my mix to not be overly bassey. In the lower end before any customs i think there is a balance... I think there is an interesting balance here between audiophile sound like I would want sat at home listening to some music, and what I want for a live mix - they arn't nesserally the same are them? The UE900s are way better than standard headphones - and let me hear the bass for bass duties I think a massive bottom end to the sound would possibly be a hindrance to having the clarity the top end for timing....

    Ssssh keep it down or everyone will want them!

    1959 Jazz Bass

    LukeFRC replied to GuyR's topic in Bass Guitars

    I wonder if you have to pay extra to get them to fill out the CITEs paperwork so that customs let it leave/enter the US and UK... be an expensive mistake if you didn't pay that!

    @Paul S - ask me to remove that if you think it hinders rather than helps your sale !

    I bought it with a SD SPB1 pickup in it (which sounded good). At Rick's suggestion I found someone on here who had fitted his JV squier pickup in I think his Kramner bass. Me asking if I could buy the pickup came to nout so two years or so later I ended up buying the whole bass off him, switching the pickups and selling on the Kramer. If you can forgive my playing, and the fact this was recorded in the worst possible manner known to recording history (straight in the mic input of a iMac into GarageBand I think!)

    and I played it lots for years until @Rick's Fine '52 convinced me it was a bit too nice an instrument to be carrying in a softcase on the back of a push bike and I should look after it, and I sorted the pups on my streamer and I was able to pick up one of those holy grail basses for me (at the time) if I sold it... This is though an absolutely amazing instrument, that I was lucky to have owned for the time I did. The thing that I think is impressive about this instrument, I've played dozens of precision basses, and similar versions of precision basses. And they all sound like variations on that vague theme that is "Precision bass" in your head. This though is special, you plug it in and it doesn't sound like the vague idea of a precision bass.... it sounds like those records you've got with precision basses on them. The way it sits in the mix is amazing, classic Precision - but if you dig in you can get this almost bright grindy attack off the maple neck. Whoever picks this instrument up won't be disappointed.

    would answering that be a comment on the price and get removed by the mods? In which case I'll just say.... <sp> way
