Zoom B6 or the B2 Four. So simple to use, all the bass sounds you could ever need. No need for computers, you can do it all on the pedal

I just regret not going for the double one now...

Ok @thisisswanbon you sold me on the JPTR FX Jive. Especially as it's very reasonably priced right now at £89.

I've just realised the problem with this thread - it's creating multiple gas leaks.

😂

It's a shame we're not closer we could've met up and had a comparison jam. I should add I do have some BF cabs (and have played extensively through many different brands over the years) and to my ears the TE Elf cabs are comfortably as good as any and better than most.

No, I've never had the pleasure of trying BF 1x10s.

I regret every bass I have lusted after and not bought, and every one I've sold. However I haven't bought a new one since October, so it feels like I've given up. I haven't of course.

This. I take extra pleasure from a favourite also being inexpensive. Of course I don't save anything because I've usually spent a small fortune on more expensive pedals before realising that the cheap one does the job I'm after.

After years of buying pedals, with shelves and drawers overflowing, multiple boards and power supplies, I have come to a realisation. I've actually got some favourites at long last. Not many but I'll show you mine if you show me yours. So, by category, here we go. Flanger. First time I played through it I heard the exact sound I had in my head. First time I gigged it, the whole song was transformed. Envelope Filter. A YouTube demo comparing this and several others sold me on the EBS. Man I love how easy it is to get exactly the right sound and it works so well in the mix. Octave. All the octaves you could ever need. Accurate and clean or rich and synthy, this pedal also has fuzz and phaser and is a work of genius. Compressor. I've been through an absolute ton of these, some do nothing, some break my sound, some are great, but this is the best. So childishly simple to use and to get exactly what I want from it. A budget miracle. Chorus. I thought I'd found my chorus (Ampeg Liquifier) but it just wasn't quite 100%. Then on a whim I splashed out on this. First gig I tried it and I just knew. Perfect. Again the sound I hear in my head. I'm still entirely at sea with regards to distortion, fuzz, autowah, multi effects, phaser, synth, preamp and others. I have preferences in every department but I'm not there yet.

These are the Demon FX pedals I know of ..

Wonderful news. Congratulations.

You'll have to wait till I get up

I play this very bass. It's a real head turner.

Even though I own several, I'm turned off by P J pick up arrangement on a bass. Makes absolutely no sense at all. Not least because it doesn't always apply. Black body with dotted maple finger board is a no no, but block inlays are fine 🤷🏻‍♂️

I used to employ a V1 1000 watt Terror into two 15" MB cabs. That master level actually looks pretty high to me 😂

Small but perfectly formed for this evening in Bristol. Bruce Thomas Profile into Veyron M, two magical 10" Elves pumping into the room.

I last gigged mine with a very loud drummer and guitarist when the 600 watt head I'd planned to use developed a fault. The Elf looked microscopic atop two 15" cabs but it was never remotely close to full volume. The scientists among us can no doubt explain why it can't be as loud as it is. I on the other hand use my ears and it's amazing.

Yeah, I hear you. Cannot bear an overhanging amp

I use mine with two Elf 10" cabs and it's its own beast. Not the same as my old Trace gear but very good in its own right.

Aye, it's a fantastic piece of kit. The sounds are first class and something Zoom never gets enough credit for is how simple and intuitive their multi effects are to adjust on the unit itself. Absolutely vital for live work.
