  1. Some ideas: Have you got another GK cable you can try? Have you tried another power supply? Have you tried it in a different power socket/another room? I don’t suppose you have another bass with a GK Pickup in it? If you’re near York you could try one of mine to see if it’s the unit or the bass/pickup
  2. Ashdown are excellent
  3. If you like the ‘roundwound’ sound on fretless, just go ahead and use them. The board can easily be repaired if and when it needs it. High tension is what puts me off flats.
  4. I still haven't seen anything that has the same squelchy low end as the original DOD FX25. Most others I've tried open up in a similar way but rather than hitting a point where it goes bleeeaughhhghgh' they carry on up the envelope to a whistle. If you see what I mean.
  5. Always liked them. When I first started playing I really wanted the trans blue one with the additional J pickup. Hope you enjoy it.
  6. [quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1507474310' post='3385695'] Is it like the pitch of a piccolo bass? [/quote] EADG, Octave up.

    Aye I bought a super cheap original one for £3 on eBay a while ago so will give it a try when it arrives.
  8. I bloody love it
  9. Brilliant little bass!
  10. Happy daze
  11. I've just sat down with the PX4D and set up my clean preset. It's a great device - really quiet when set up properly (all the presets are rubbish) and it has some great sounding effects, especially the delays and chosussessess. The built in drum patterns are fun, too.. I looked at the Zoom B1on too, it looks great - I'm not such a fa of the floor box format, though. I'm sure it's an excellent box.
  12. Love these basses
  13. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1507158268' post='3383691'] Just to piddle on a couple of suggestions so far - the EHX has no aux in, and the PX4D is very noisy. [/quote] I think the PX4D CAN be noisy but if you make your own presets and set them up well I've found it to be pretty quiet. My normal setting seems to be an amp head, no cab, little eq, limiter and reverb - there's very little hiss. Certainly not as much as the HB or Vox
  14. I spent ages looking for something. Ended up with a PX4D which I haven't played with much yet but it seems like a great device. My main requirements were light and small, battery powered with reverb, line in and limiter. PX4D does it all and can be quite cheap. [quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1507122663' post='3383456'] What about this one? very cheap and according to people in TB works very well https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_custom_line_bass_di_ex_b_stock.htm [/quote] I had one briefly. Whilst it sounded ok it was a bit noisy, the compressor was quite harsh and even more noisy plus I really missed having reverb for solo practice. I use Bose ae2w headphones which have always been great for bass. They give a nice sound that seems to me the same as the bass does going to desk so I know what I hear is what goes down on the recording.
  15. It’s more likely to be high/less worn frets at the dusty end - a fret dress or similar might be all you need.
  16. It was really nice to meet you at the bash. Welcome to the site, hope you find it useful! Cher’s ped

  18. [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1505759690' post='3374135'] No I haven't and can't seem to find it ! [/quote] http://basschat.co.uk/topic/311991-yamaha-thr10-practice-amp/
  19. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1505753384' post='3374039'] But on a two-pickup bass one pickup will always be closer to the bridge and the other closer to the neck. To me a "front" pickup would be the one closest on one of the ends of the bass - i.e. the bridge pickup. [/quote] You're heavily outnumbered! I'd always call the neck pickup the front pickup.
  20. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1505747184' post='3373968'] Because it's no more or less meaningful to call it that than it is to call it the front pickup. [/quote] But then again as the poll shows, everyone knows what it means so that's why people use it, I suppose. That rhymes, too.
