I ditched the stomp a few years ago and have been using various individual pedals since. I just found the Stomp mind blowing for how much it could do but I was barely using 1% of it's capability.

Well, we are all different but I went from GT10-B to HX Stomp, separates for a good few years, now going to the Boss ME90-B.

I think a lot of people like the idea of being in a band and the attention they get by joining one. They just don't like doing the hard work to stay in the band and cause drama or bail out before their lack of skill and commitment is exposed. They probably spend more time telling new band mates about their expensive gear than rehearsing too.

There's a GT10-B on eBay at £159 or best offer. I have no affiliation to the seller, etc.

@glassmoon my new Boss unit won't arrive until late this month so I've not bothered looking at the software yet, unfortunately. What I like about the ME-90B is the knobs and dials, easier to tweak those than mess around in digital menus, I don't have the patience to learn all of that. I found my Helix made me spend more time experimenting with sounds than actually playing bass, most likely my own lack of discipline than anything else but even so, I'm expecting a much more intuitive experience with the ME90-B.

I'm in the same boat, had one... Maybe I bought yours?! Sold it... Now going to the new ME-90B. I loved the preset sounds on the GT10-B but found the programming overwhelming.

Song: I predict a riot, Kaiser chiefs Band: the desert penguins Venue: the great British food festival (yes, really!!) Bass: US Fender jazz

Has anyone got there's in some kind of hard case? My old GT10-B was in a flight case and I want to do something similar for when my ME90B eventually arrives towards the end of July but finding it a bit of a minefield to buy the right thing. Ideally I want a hard case where I can mount the pedalboard in the thin "base" and cut out foam in the "lid" to keep it snug when cased but ready to go quickly once placed on the floor and the top taken off. I don't know if that makes any sense at all.

I sold my Jack Casady, posted it last night. Probably lost £200-£250 in money as well as a beautiful bass. But, the chap who bought it claims to have met Mr Casady himself a few times and seems incredibly excited about receiving the bass, so at least I know it's going to be cherished. I'll miss it, but realistically I wasn't using it enough to justify keeping it, and I can now buy a decent new washing machine with the money.... It sucks being sensible.

Wow. Looks absolutely perfect. Great result.

Ample time for Mrs Keyboards to learn all the bass parts, surely. Sounds to me like you've done the right thing.

You could always find a two armed keys player and cut one arm off.

Not exactly funk but they are popular and have some groove... Maroon 5, Moves like jagger The Wknd, Blinding lights I'll surely think of more later.

I used to get (IMO) a good sound for it on a fretted bass using a chorus stacked into another chorus on a Helix Stomp. Not sure that helps! Cheaper than buying various pedals just to create this sound might be getting hold of something like a Harley Benton fretless bass, they really are excellent basses and can be bought new very cheap, better still second hand.

I've been through quite a lot of basses and though I'm "done" with acquiring new ones I'd love a Status if finances ever allow for it.
