Very cool. Surprised Sandberg aren't having it back!
-
I just did a live video for a country artist and did just that 😂 Helix Stomp and FRFR out of sight in the shell of an old Fender Bassman.
-
Same! I downloaded the software and have used it, but it's more intuitive, quicker and useful for me to build patches on the Stomp. As you would with separates, bit of playing, bit of tweaking, save.
-
They're the Stainless ones, it's the nickels I'm hunting for.
-
Cheers. Can't see them listed, which could be my failing... it seems weird nobody carries them?
-
A studio recording is being captured in ideal surroundings too. The live sound engineer has other complications and things to factor in, and considerably less time to balance it all and give everything its place, as well as working with the room and surroundings - where its probably far easier to F things up for everybody with bad bass sounds than guitar.
-
On the subject, has anybody used/seen Sandberg nickel strings... Ever?! They inform me they can be ordered, if not bought from retailers, but I can't even see them on their own website. I actually am quite liking the stock strings. Really didn't like them a few years back, but seem to be getting on with them now.
-
Wow! Pressure is on for Father's Day now 😂 Beautiful bass you have there.
-
Looks great, dare I ask how much it weighs, unloaded?
-
Another +1 for the Headrush FRFR112. Partnered with the Helix Stomp, it is a great and capable rig. There's more volume and lows there, if called upon, than my previous (small/medium) traditional bass rigs.
-
That's how I read it too. Must be hard for the stage and tech guys, if JB genuinely takes it as an attack upon his creativity and musicianship.
-
What a load of balls!
-
Neutrik connectors, heave gauge Cordial cable. Both unused, £8 each posted to a UK address. -
I've just got a G75 (birthday yesterday 😁) Very impressed so far, the build quality is great and the transmitter is sleek. It has a scan feature, where you can view 16 channels and the interference on each. It continually scans too, so you can watch it for a few seconds and get a good picture of what's what.

Anybody got any recommendations for a 12" PA speaker to pair with a Helix as a monitor. Just for me, just for bass. I'm looking at cheap, JBL 610, EV ZLX12, Alto TS312... I'm guessing they're all much of a muchness?

Sensing a theme in the classifieds at the moment...

LM3s were once AB. My one was, that was new in 2011. -
Helix is sorted, so trade wise, I'm after an active PA speaker, or a small practice amp. Otherwise, I've dropped the price to £520, collected. Can look into p&p if needed. -
I enquired about the Burgundy Mist 5 a couple of months ago, Andertons were expecting delivery in July, at the time.
-
That's good to know. My main band has a quiet stage, if not on in ears, guitarist uses an FBT 8 with his Helix, drummer uses in ears and a TD50, I just listed my amp and am acquiring a Helix. I've been looking at cheaper monitors that might do a job when needed and for practice, and smaller gigs. Was wondering if the Headrush or Alto 312 was worth a shot. I figure that when I use an amp, the volume is at about 9 or 10 o'clock (for what that's worth) , so I don't need huge volume anyway!
-
@Al Krow doesn't have one, he was close! I'm obviously biased, but I don't think there are many, if any, combos that offer what this does. The effects and amp/cab sims are genuinely quality and sound great. If you want to line up filters, drives, chorus, synth sounds, or set up an Ampeg & 8x10 drive patch, next to a clean SWR style patch, it's all there, or, if you just want a bit of EQ or compression and to create your own patches, and to not get involved in the modelling, it's all good. There's few nice additions and a bit of extra power to the already great Rumble 500.

Same for me, but only on Chrome. Firefox mobile seems OK. -
Only had this since February, owned from new. In 100% A1 condition. It comes with a Hotcovers cover, also the Fender footswitch, which controls effects, switches patches and controls the looper and tuner. It's a cracking all in one solution, if like me, you want to ditch pedals but still keep your effects. The amp models and effects are great too, very well designed and easy to set up and tweak, or to create your own patches from scratch. It's only ever been my stage monitor, I sold my last rig as it was overkill, and this is still pretty loud!! I don't think volume has been past 10 o'clock. However, I just don't need an amp and this is an opportunity to down size further. Edited to add, it is 400w as is, through the 2 x 10 Eminence woofers, or you can run it with other cabs at 4 or 2.67ohm to get the full 800 watts. So, trade wise, active PA speakers or practice amps 😊

Ah man, now I know this exists I want it! Of all the P bases I've had my 2012 in sunburst was EASILY the best. It was about that weight and was just a peach. I had another 2012 at the same time, which was nice, but the sunburst one was the one.
-
I love the BB aesthetic too. When I first saw the 2025x I thought it was hideous, not sure what changed my mind. I love the look of the 35. Just looks so classy and refined.
-
@Al Krow nah, not that many. This year and next will probably be 150+/-. Last year I did 100 on one bass! I really should get another 🤔 I liked with those D'Addario strings that they still sound great after the newness wears off.
