I also have a set of HB higher grade flats but not found a home for them yet. I'll report back once I've tried them.

The recycled case is just brilliant!

Yes indeed. However... I do like the sound of rounds on some of my basses

A standard pub gig for me last night. Not played there before (a hotel on the Oxford road just out of Swindon), we found a genial host, and a small but appreciative audience. A bit of a schlep for some of the band , mitigated by an afternoon gig en route to the venue, twice the money for the same journey. At least it would have been if the passing of the monarch hadn't (bafflingly) caused the cancellation of the afternoon event. However, I made a goodly bit of cash during the jubilee celebrations so I can't really complain.

The regular Harley Benton strings have never given me cause for concern, but I thought I'd try a higher grade set, purely in the interest of scientific exploration. I think they cost me 8 quid. These are crazy good strings for very little money. Recommended.

Thank you!

It sounds great . Only one effect I didn't like.

I'll see if I can pull a list off the unit

Yes that's pitch shifted down to BEAD blend 100%.

I suspect my problem is that I like to blend a little of the shifted octave or fifth with the clean sound. You're right - on its own it's not too bad (just not very clean, a bit wobbly) but when blended with the clean signal it's off pitch so the effect is like a bad chorus.

I'll get to it. But you won't like it...

Thanks Jack fascinating for us Beatles historian types

No that's actually very helpful. At least I know 1.0.4 is a real thing, and that it works. I've had a response from Mooer so I'm hopeful I'll achieve a resolution.

Did you update it yourself to that version?

Anyone else bought one of these? If so have you managed to update the firmware? I'm struggling with mine and the customer service is so slooow to respond.

Cheap in ears then spend the real money on the Backbeat. Just my experience. Listening to a live band via earphones and not feeling any bass is a depressing, sterile experience, a million miles away from the real thing. But they are good for singing. Hearing your own vocals so clearly is great. Also cheap wireless bug marketed to guitarists is fine and way less money than you might otherwise spend.

I have a Reverend, and it has elbowed its way to the front of the queue. It plays fine, looks amazing but it's the sound that leaps out at me. I've never played a bass so articulate. Every nuance (and mistake!) Is so clear, it's unforgiving and beautiful all at once

Thank you so much. This is exactly what we feared.

Hey hive mind, anyone played Go Live in Wrexham? Anything you can tell me about it?

I have only owned one iron in my adult life. I used it to smash the window to my flat so I could get in after locking myself out (it was in a box of pointless objects which had never made it into the flat). Otherwise I never found a use for it.

Let There Be Rock. Never tire of it. Lifts my mood every time, and each track feels like the best song on the album.

My board requirements seem to have settled down to four set ups. Two regular bands, one less frequent and one very occasional. The requirements for the two main ones are different so I run two boards, and the others get whatever I bung in the car. This is the latest set up for my main gigging band. It covers everything I need and is pretty settled. I still seem to change out the drive pedal, and the envelope filter on a fairly regular basis but otherwise this collection makes the noises I'm after. Powered by a Truetone CS7, and sat on a NUX Bumblebee, the switches getting the most action are the OC-5, American Sound, and the graphic eq. These boost or thicken the sound when the keys take a solo or just make things a bit filthy when the set gets lively. Everything else does a job on a specific song, or part of a song. Out of sight beneath the top level is a Behringer Bass BDI which gives a bit of sparkle and drive to my 'clean' or 'always on' sound.
