Ah, pick'n'nicks.

I can't see why wireless would be any worse for XLR than for guitars or bass. Wireless XLR means you can plug a dongle into a mic and another into the receiver and eliminate the wire, and the reason for it being XLR is that that's what mics use. Lekato do the MW-1 https://lekatodeal.com/en-uk/products/wireless-5-8ghz-microphone-system-plug-on-xlr-transmitter-receiver?_pos=1&_sid=08dc515d5&_ss=r - available for about £70 from AliExpress.

That's a good price and they are good basses. Something to note is that with the bottom strap button in its original position, apparently it balances a bit awkwardly, so a few people have moved the button to a central position (this had been done to my EHB1265MS, the fancy wood version of the EHB1005).

I did. Why don't you read the thread title again? Don't know why I bothered reading your post, I was merely trying to enlighten you but it's like playing chess with a pigeon.

The Zoom B3 is the effects pedal referred to in the OP and used in the video, which may provide a clue as to why the reference to three effects which is the maximum on the B3.

Don't forget the amount of human time put into making the videos to try and convince you that the wood makes a difference.

Well, I was hoping it would be about Liz Bonnin or Helena Bonham-Carter, so it was a little disappointing.

Something else to bear in mind is that note timbre will change according to which string you use to play a note. The A on the 10th fret of the B string will sound different to the 5th fret of the E string and to the open A, partly because of the character of the string and partly because of where you're plucking it relative to the speaking length of the string - if you pluck in the same place then the higher you're fretting, the closer you'll be to the centre of the speaking length, hence the less harmonic content you'll get. If you're playing short notes it won't be particularly noticeable but it's worth keeping in mind and experimenting with on sustained notes.

Licensed Hipshot Ultralites? 1/2" and 3/8" available - https://hipshotproducts.com/collections/bass-tuning Used on Cort GB4 and GB5, nice tuners.

I do. And I take them off at the end of the rehearsal/gig and put them back on again at the start of the next one. And occasionally swap them round for fun. However, on the washer front, ISTR somebody suggesting tap washers many many years ago.

The MIDI implementation chart is the same for both old and new. From which I would deduce that the MIDI message that turned the tuner on and off was undocumented on either, and probably works the same on both. You don't want to use the tuner on the Helix then?

A Kay. I wouldn't stake anything more valuable than a Polo mint on it, but I think they were also Teisco, and possibly sold as Top Twenty by Woolies.

Exactly. Not Carrick, I know Carrick - https://www.facebook.com/carrickmusic/

Garrick?

I didn't hear anything like that from that video. I have heard ludicrously loud bass drum, generally from cars - when I worked at Tarmac, right by Birmingham airport, there was a car that would pull up to the car park exit barriers with booming bass easily audible in the office through triple glazing which totally silenced the aeroplanes.

Strap locks are a one-off faff. Washer locks are a faff every time you put the strap on or take it off.

I've asked Zoom if they're doing a Windows or Android version of GuitarLab for the MS-60B+, and asked Tonelib if they're adding support for the MS Plus pedals. No reply from Tonelib as yet, Zoom Europe said they'd pass the suggestion on to Zoom Japan.

Yes. The older MS-60B is the same.

By that reckoning I think I'd need a stack of all the cabs I've ever owned to cope with my 900W amp, which I happily use with a 100W cab.

I was wondering that, but I think "inexpensive" would rule out the Warwicks with brass frets.

Would you like to go and sit with Disco Wave?

Soon to be a presenter on CBeebies.

A broken metacarpal which healed with the knuckle of my index finger somewhat lower than it should be means that alternating first and second fingers consistently at speed doesn't work. Most of the time I can cope, but there's a couple of songs that I need to use a plectrum for. At least it's the same one as I use on guitar.
