It just takes time to find the right approach for you. It has taken me a long time, but I am almost to the point where I am comfortable enough with it to use it on a gig. What did it for me is that I now tilt my thumb towards the bass a little during the upstroke. Keep at it, so will I

Use this, carefully.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Araldite®-Crystal-15ml-Tubes-Epoxy/dp/B006JYQA82/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=SKJCNJNGAEJjm21eI8MD.Q&hsa_cr_id=1499119440602&ref_=sb_s_sparkle_slot

I have 2, sometimes I need them both.

You all know what the Borg say: "resistance is futile"

They used to be made by SKC/Bogart. Nowadays they make them themselves, but I understand the carbon is very thin (as I'm told) and not on par with the likes of Status, Bogart, Modulus etc.

One of my big bass inspirations..... get well Juan, strength and love to you and family. Just horrible.

Barts are not overly coloured but defo have a more vintage vibe to them compared to MEC or EMG. The Streamer is much less flexible, great growly tone but I would not use it on a singer songwriter dep for instance. The Elrick can pretty much do it all, from almost passive sounding old school funk to rock. That plus the playability impresses me most. You know I was raving to yoy about the Lulls I used to own, for me the Elrick is on par at least.

A month, several rehearsals and a gig in the Elrick continues to amaze me. I think I may have stumbled upon the bass that render all others obsolete. Let’s see how I feel after a few months, but so far I am very impressed by the tone and playability. Probably the fastest 5 neck I have ever played with best high register access of all 100%.

Reverb anyone?

Someone is being optimistic as usual...

I will let others buy it first and then see. Personally I am starting to think that an all-in-one solution actually is not possible, at least re the synth and octave sounds I am looking for. But, open to being surprised and amazed..

Whilst I love my LT, it doesn’t fully fulfill my amp/fx needs, so I use a number of pedals as well. This will be the same, great at some sounds but not all. Can’t say I am GASsing yet.

I played a gig that didn’t happen (cancelled last minute) ...... and I even got paid for it. Pretty weird.

Me no like...... sure they last, but I do not like how they sound. Horses for courses.

I did a part trade with Alfredo. An absolute pleasure to deal with, very patient, good communication and just a really nice guy. Would buy/sell/trade with him again without any hesitation. Gracias amigo!

Oi, keep trade offers to PM or the mods might go “nuts”

Keep your OC2.... is all I have to add. The Helix is very good, but my LT still does not match my pedals wrt Octaver, Synths and some Drive pedals (some are great on Helix btw, but I have a specific requirement). I have owned or own ALL Helix models, none covered 100% standalone. But that was for my specific setup and needs, I know others are perfectly happy with just a Helix.

Done, you can now post in the other thread.
