Way I see it this is just for effects. It dies, that's on me (unless it's faulty) just like my wireless died first proper gig (old batteries not holding charge) lose eithr of those things and I'm back in the game in seconds with a lead stright into the amp. But I have yet to try it. I may be here in a couple of months reporting a failed experiment, I may love it. Time will tell.

I don't really suffer from it! But this way I'm totally free from any danger. As to other solutions yes I have a long pedal snake but it won't power stuff like my Bass Whammy I understand the worry about batteries dying but this has indicators as to battery life, my wireless is battery powered, the receiver runs off a normal power bank as does my always on pedal which sits on the amp. For real fast in out set ups, awkward load ins, long walks to the venue due to parking issues this and a couple of pedals is potentially a very fast solution. Anyway I've done bought the thing now!

Just arrived - full review to follow. The other (more expensive) model I looked at charged via usb, the socket being attached directly to the pcb seemed a major vulnerability so I've gone for this. Hopefully it's bye bye to mains noise and extension leads. We'll see.

Yeah Ashdown - what the hell?

I love this. What a great idea!

Stevie - I've made it to the first chorus! I don't suppose you fancy getting it in installments? You could be learning the song and checking my work as you go. Just a thought.

Oh dear, I've been similarly afflicted hope you start to shake it soon.

Paul responded to a plea for help and sold me (at an extremely reasonable price) a Zoom multistomp. Deal couldn't have gone more smoothly. Top basschatter, top bloke!

13 squid!

Is it the xm8500?

I got a very abrupt answer when I asked about postage but as i say I love Basschat - I've already been offered another pedal! Thank you so much @RossHetherington this is such a great place populated with kind helpful people.

Gosh I love Basschat.

Hey - I'm not saying it! I think it looks awesome and being a fellow CTM owner I can't wait to hear your review of them together.

I'm just waiting for someone to say the sound dispersionationisation won't work that way up!

Damn. That looks tasty.

FB seller has an MS-60B for 30 quid! I'm after one but he won't post it. Anyone able to help me out?

You'll probably find you won't play below a certain fret on the bottom string, the sound just becomes too murky. I often use mine an octave down but play an octave up. Sounds odd I know, but it produces an interesting sound. Have fun.

A fine voice, tragic story. As others have said would have been good to hear her sing some decent soul tunes. That cheesy 80s pop sound never floated my boat. Bland, wallpaper music, with a weak, mass produced feel for the most part.

The behaviour @MoJo describes is all part of the GAS. I know my favourite bass is my Aria. It's the first one I fell for, had it for years will never part with it. So why would I buy anything else? So that for a brief time I can kid myself that the new bass is 'the one'. Which in turn justifies the purchase. Self feeding addictive behaviour. Not dangerous unless you plunge yourself and anyone depending upon you into debt. I see it as harmless fun. A voyage of discovery. After all even explorers love their home, doesn't stop them travelling.

You'll have lots of fun. It rewards you for the time you put in. I've found the sounds my B3 produces have improved dramatically over the last year. Of course the pedal hasn't changed, I've just learned more about how it works!

Excuse my poor choice of words. I suppose what I was driving at was as I have the Zoom and I'm happy with it, is there any compelling reason to spend big on the Thumpinator.

Hey guys, gals, experts, and fellow confused travellers. What if any are the benefits of the Thumpinator over this Zoom hack ?

Private party up in Twickenham. Went down a storm. Mandolin player and BL turned up sans mandolin and had to turn around and drive back to Oxford to get it. Our singer does the best photo bombing of anyone I know. Here she is ruining a picture of my rig.

Yes! I traded a Sub n up for the Valeton, People thought I was bonkers but it's perfect

I fingered one in PMT Bristol when they came out. I liked it a lot I must say.
