Mainly because the foot switch seemed to have become pretty noisy, and it was annoying me 😅 Perhaps I should just look at fitting a new one, IF it is the foot switch and not a symptom of another component failing.

Hey folks! 👋😊 Just wondered if any of you have any top tips for getting the best out of the MXR M87 Bass Compressor? I bought one a few months ago, to retire my long-serving Buddha Chakra. It's a great compressor, but I can't help feeling I'm not getting the best out of it at the moment.... With the Buddha, I felt like I could balance the overall signal more evenly, and give it a little more 'body' at the same time. It lifted the quieter notes and controlled the louder notes. With the MXR so far, I feel like all I'm achieving is some peak limiting. I know they're very different compressors, and I also understand compassion enough to not need a lesson in the basics, but if anyone has any good advice to get the best out of this pedal, if be very grateful! Thanks 👌❤️

Hey folks! I'm considering buying an isolated power supply for my pedal board, as my Boss ODB-3 seems to have a lot of background noise (not to do with pedal settings, just a high pitched noise) which I believe is due to me running it off a daisy chain supply. Just wondered if any of the 'budget' ones are any good or not? Surely an isolated power supply is an isolated power supply? Thanks, Oli

Thanks for this! He's absolutely flying with it, he spends so much time playing it's incredible! Not even a year in, and I think he'll be better than me soon 😅 Got him his first proper bass at the guitar and bass show back in March, a Dave Ellefson 5-string Jackson, and he's wanting a new bass for his 16th next month! Here we go..... #GAS

Personally, I'd be looking for a cheap used Yamaha over either of those choices, consistent quality and great playability at any price point. 👌

Bargain! Such a good preamp, great drive sound if anyone's looking for a good distortion pedal 👌❤️- 1 reply

Really hoping I can make it this year! Diary is clear at present, but will have to confirm closer to the time. May bring eldest son too, as he is now also a bass player!

Aaarrgh I feel torn now! 🤣😭 I don't want to sell them, but really should to cover the cost of the cab I bought this week 😩 -
Ooooh, I do like the look of the P6 5 string in black 😍🤌 I'd prefer passive though...

I hadn't been on BC for a while, but caught up on some stuff yesterday, including this thread. You guys inspired me to take my Sandberg out tonight, and what a joy it is to play! Hadn't gigged it for quite a while, but will try to more now. Definitely got plenty of thump and authority out of it, sounded absolutely monster! 😎👌❤️

They're pretty compact 😉👌

The fantastic Markbass NY151 cabs, about the most compact 1x15" bass cabs you can buy. Fast, tight and deep, these cabs sound incredible, and two of them together sounds monstrous! Each cab is 400w rms 8 ohms. One is essentially brand new, only bought a few months ago and has had very little use, made in Indonesia. The other is an original Italian one, still in great condition and sounds superb. £250 each, or both for £450. Reasonably priced for a quick sale. Collection from Hereford

Well I think I've peaked today..... I saw another of the old GR410+ cabs come up for sale, didn't think I'd see one again.... So it's now mine! The one I took a punt on a few years ago is by far the best sounding and most powerful cab I've ever used, and I've had some GREAT cabs in my time! I present the 1400w 8x10" GR Bass stack of doom! 😈 Overkill? Yes. Fun? Absolutely! 😎👌

You'll probably have to start afresh with your amp EQ settings etc, I'm confident you'll get it to work though! My TT5 passive sounds massive when I dial it in 👌
