ped

I finally caved and bought the Loop pedal. It'll be super useful for my Mutron and Muffs which don't have great bypasses. It's got everything I want in a loop pedal and more!

We could send basses over the channel in small boats

Yes you need to have the file to upload it to Moises 👍🏼

One thing I’ve found really useful is the Moises app. It uses AI to separate instruments into different tracks, so you can isolate and adjust them on the fly. It syncs across devices so I can listen to the songs out and about and crank the bass up independently of the other instruments to help me learn the lines. See example below. The desktop app gives full waveforms. It also tells you the chords and transcribes the lyrics. Amazing! And no I don’t have shares in the company!

It's true my Ped name evolved from Pedullaman because I played an MVP 4 string when I joined Bassworld. It was a brilliant bass. I can't remember why I sold it to be honest, but I've gone off the shape a bit. This one is a bit odd because it doesn't have the normal MVP shape and the fingerboard is unusual; usually the fretless 'Buzz/Pentabuzz/Hexabuzz' models have a super shiny coated (ebony?) board. I don't recall any maple boards but I seem to remember a more budget line with different hardware, pickups and slightly different shape so maybe it's one of those.

Thanks, that looks brilliant! I love the rocker switches. I gather another version had pickups hidden under the scratchplate.

When you say slanted frets were they like fanned frets today? Just had a quick Google and the frets all look straight so I must be missing something. Cool looking guitar though!

Thanks mate that’s great, I might have a look at the II then…

Yeah I didn't realise they were 32

The posted image does have gold hardware too, but it's not that clear due to the reflections. TBH I'd rather get a Squier SS Jag and some cool pickups and design my own.

Great - because the pink one is going for a song, do you know what the difference is between the Ampero and the Ampero II? It sound like you might have had the older one at some stage or are you comparing to the HX? I'm always a bit wary of new improved DSP and so forth - my main home rig is a fairly old Roland VB99 which I'm sure isn't as 'good' as the newer Roland stuff, but to my ears it's perfect...

Hi guys I'm looking for a relatively cheap multi fx for using live. I don't want to talk emy expensive single pedals very often, but it would be nice to have the option of using one or two through an fx loop or just in front of a multi fx. My friend is selling the HoTone Ampero (in pink) which looks pretty good - my needs are fairly minimal, basically I need a tuner, DI, amp/cab setting generally 'super flat' (which is what I tend to use on my Roland stuff), decent comp generally set for limiting and some passable effects. I don't feel like I need a wah rocker pedal (what's it called) on the unit, but most have them. It seems like some of the HoTone pedals are more guitar friendly, but will the Ampero be OK for my use or would you recommend a different model in their range, or something from a similar sort of company like Valeton, mooer or Flamma etc?

Yeah new to me too - I'll get it and see!

Anyone got this one?

I've just seen this Celinder for sale at The Gallery. £5k! Not sure about the colour (OK I hate it) but it's the first one I've seen for a while so maybe worth flagging. https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/celinder-jazz-bass

I have to admit that from my point of view, Brexit has had very little effect on the numbers of instruments being posted and the revenue generated from ads. I suppose it’s created a stronger domestic market in some ways although personally I think paying import duty for used basses from somewhere else is absolute BS.

Yeah I know, I just know the feeling of launching something then everyone weighing in, even if it's useful and well meaning it can be a bit of a deluge! 😆

Looks good on desktop, but the items are a bit too big on mobile, 1 per line. Anyway, it's better - and I don't envy them having to do it and deal with all the experts who come out of the woodwork with an opinion lol.

Yeah! It's tricky to tell from the photo but it looks like they're black plastic ones sprayed gold. They'd be coming straight off!

I guess you guys have seen this BB3000 with Jaydee electronics? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256167928925?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DZLcTZKpS6a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=om7uGMI4RRi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Maybe, from a historical perspective. But I think resto-modding basses which have been hacked up in the past is a noble cause. The result is probably just as, if not more playable than the original, it just loses its historic value which is basically nonsense anyway IMO.

I have found that when using long scale strings on a short/medium scale bass that you have to very deliberately bend the string over the nut and towards the post so that the string runs as straight as possible, where naturally it wants to run in a slight curve to the post. Same with the break angle over the bridge (on any bass)

They don't but they fit OK - at least the light gauge ones bend around a tuner without any problem. It would be neat if they did make them though, but the parent company seem preoccupied with other things so for now I'm just glad they make them at all, because I love Elixirs!
