Yes you did, the one I mentioned above. I’m starting to think they only ever made one as a joke and that’s what is being passed around 😆
-
I sold one of these here on the forum a couple of months ago. From what I remember It was really more of a distortion pedal with an EQ. I have no idea what the whole ‘Slap Bass’ thing was about at all? Hope it serves you well.

This might help: https://www.contrabaixobr.com/t18141-boss-ceb-3-analog-bass-chorus-x-boss-ceb-3-digital-bass-chorus It looks like the digital one to me. TBH I have both and I actually prefer the digital one? Go figure! -

While we’re talking filters, one of my all time faves was the T-Wah in the Boss ME-8b! I’ve bought loads of other Boss filters in my time and none are as good as the ME-8b. If they sold that in a compact I’d buy it without hesitation. Also - Has anyone tried the Nano Q-tron against the big box Mini Q-tron. If it was at least close I’d probably settle for that to reclaim half of my pedalboard.

I’ve just rediscovered my big box mini Q tron, it has the slurpy sound I always had in my head. Been using it ever since I plugged it back in!

I still have my Rack bass POD XT and my 500x, but I’m truth I haven’t used them in a long while. When I do dig them out, they seem a bit awkward by today’s standards. We are lucky these days to have more blocks to play with than these older units. The ability to run parallel paths is also much easier these days. That said, they both sound decent which is why I’ve kept them. After much toing and froing Ive settled on the Boss GT1K which is overkill for my needs really but sounds great and is so flexible.

Has anyone got one of these yet? I’ve seen a few pop up overseas. I put my money down months ago and still no sign, stock dates keep moving back.

I’m a big fan of Boss compact pedal and have been on a mission to try to do what you’ve done above 👆🏻. I always end up reverting to some sort of multi-Fx to try and cram everything into one board: This is what I was using until I recently got a GT1000, which I hated at first. I’ve stuck with it though and now after quite a lot of experimenting and gigging I’ve got it setup just how I like it. The most difficult things have been finding really good compression and drives in the unit, but I got there in the end. I’m just using the GT1k for all my gigs now and leaving all the separate pedals at home. I love being able to edit the unit on my iPad via Bluetooth on gigs.

Mackie DL1608 digital mixer. Good condition with all the original packaging so can post at the buyers risk. 16 x XLR ins, 4 x combi inputs, 6 x 1/4' aux outputs. In built compression, Eq, gates, delay and reverb, plus other effects. If you've not used on of these before you will need a wireless router and an iPad to use it. However, once connected it is a breeze to use We used it to supply all our front of house mix allowing 4 of us to haver independent IEM mixes. Include the iPads lock, allen key and original PSU *note - The box says it the ‘lightning’ version - it isn’t, it’s the ‘30 pin’. I’ve had a few of these mixers and I must have swapped the boxes over at some stage before selling. Priced to sell at £350 inc UK mainland postage. I also have the 19" rackmount adapter should any prospective buyers be interested for a few extra quid. I will also knock off a few quid for collection form North London N21 -
Quite correct, I’m talking about the Pro.
-
Yes, yes, yes - this is the best one pedal solution that I have tried. I’ve used it on many gigs and it’s always sounded fantastic whichever bass I’ve used. Highly recommend.

In response to the above. I used to put together a ‘catch all’ board but it ended up being huge and cumbersome. As I play various different styles with different acts, each have different requirements (even depending on venue). I’ve ended up with a few smaller boards that I can rearrange when needed. Sometimes I just need a tuner, sometimes I need the kitchen sink so I’ll take a Helix stomp/other multi fx. Often there is no backline or I’ll be on IEM’s so I’ll have to take a DI/Preamp. It’s all horses for courses. Last night I had backline provided and had a few points in the set where Octave, filter and a bit of OD would be enhance things, Hence cobbling together the above for the night. That rig sounded awesome, the Mini Q is seriously underrated! As to if it’s the new ‘norm’ I can only speak personally and say it is for me. I’d imagine though if I just played in a single band I could setup one board and be done with it.

FS: Boss BB1x, Magnetic Effects Sandare
NoirBass replied to uncle psychosis's topic in Effects For Sale
I totally agree. At first playing at home I didn’t like it at all. In the context of a band it’s great! Boss really got it right with the BB-1x. I’m seriously tempted to buy this one to have a spare. -
Musescore vs Dorico SE (or any others...)
NoirBass replied to TKenrick's topic in Theory and Technique
I finally gave in and signed up 3 years ago to the Sibelius licence having used it for all my transcriptions for about 15-20 odd years. Whilst the latest version is ‘better’ it’s fundamentally the same a Sibelius 6. The one thing I really like though is that I can now manipulate all my .sib files on my iPad which has been a life saver on gigs. - not sure that feature is worth the expense though. I’d also be interested to hear what alternatives there are for transcribing simple bass lines that can be saved out as pdf’s -

That’s a steal! GLWTS 👍🏻 -
Not the same one, I’ve had this a fair few years now. -
