  1. You can use the LMB3 as a boost too, and it's also a really great compressor (which does limiting really well).
  2. If you have an ‘enhance’ function on your amp that can help bring out the very top end, very nice on fretless. There are also ‘Harmonic Enhancer’ pedals (DOD used to do one and the Boss LMB3 too) - careful though they can add some noise but fine live That and a touch of reverb, definitely. Sometimes Chorus can take some of the beef out of the harmonics but does sound great, in the studio.
  3. Amazing isn't it!! Now get some Boss Waza Air headphones to go with it = perfect setup!
  4. Thanks mate I've tried one locally 🤘
  5. There is probably a newer plugin we could use instead of that one which is no longer being developed.
  6. They could have made it a nicer colour though
  7. Playing with the M82 today with fresh ears. I have found that I like it with the Freq. set quite low and the Q at almost zero... turning up the Q enhances the rather unpleasing vowel like quality to my ears. At lower settings it sounds quite nice, less 'vocal' The sensitivity knob has such a broad sweep and tiny adjustments make so much difference, but I think I have it dialled in now. I'll give it a break then come back and play agin later. It definitely has the sort of sound I like in there, it just took some finding...
  8. Love the video of the kids. All these videos though make me think am I the only person in the world who plays bass without making a 'face'? Some of the adults look like they're climaxing every time they play above the 12th. Maybe I just don't enjoy it enough!
  9. Apparently they've had a real challenge getting to the UK market, as most stockists feel they have enough strings already. @MoJoKe @Kiwi maybe we can sell them through Basschat
  10. That’s one of the coolest looking things I’ve ever seen 😊

    Great to have you here, thanks for popping in! What’s your favourite track on SCUMFUCK 😆 Love your playing and laid back groove. As I say normally albums/bands with ‘Funk’ in the name are anything but and tend to be fast up tempo ‘funk’ that I can’t bear.. I’ll have a listen to some of your other stuff… which tracks are you most happy with?
  12. Technically yes, but I've never felt like I need any clean blend with my FX25 which is very tight and full sounding, but you do have to 'play' it in a certain way. Maybe it has wider band or the way the sweep works just happens to fill out the bass bit once dialled in it's a fat and squelchy as you could want, whereas some of the sparkle green ones I've had are all top or bottom and quite hard to use. The WOnderlove absolutely needs clean blend which works well as the wobbly filter sort of wraps around the affected sound so well, but I wasn't feeling that so much on the MXR - however I only had a quick play yesterday so I'll give it some time over the next few days, as it definitely has the right 'flavour' that I like.
  13. Just tried an MXR M82 I do generally prefer the sound of Band pass filters. To me they have a more 'farty' bottom end when you dig in, rather than a whistle as the envelope opens. The MXR has a similar feel at the bottom to my fave pedal, but without as much growl. The top end is a bit less controllable and it can produce some spikes where my old FX25 will 'top out' at a pleasing frequency which isn't harsh or thin (even some of the next gen FX25s can sound a bit harsh) I'll spend some more time with it, but I'm not feeling it so much at this. Maybe it's a bit clinical, I'm not sure. It kind of makes my different basses sound the same, unless you blend in some dry signal. Leave it with me and I'll be back with more useless thoughts
  14. Yep they connect like any other bluetooth headphones so you can play music from any source. There are three lights n the back, one to show if the transmitter is connected (happens instantly when you plug it into the bass, with no 'pop' noise or anything, same when you remove), one for battery charge and the other for bluetooth. Using the app you connect the bluetooth audio as you would normally, then the transmitter connects as a sperate device through the app, but you only need to use the app if you want to change your saved preset which is saved to the headphones, and you can scroll through saved presets using the buttons on the headphones.
  15. I will sell you my NUX if you like, PM me if you haven't pulled the trigger already?
  16. I seem to remember that changing the strings did enough to remedy the choking. Perhaps I loosened the truss rod a little bit can’t remember now. It wasn’t terrible but definitely another reason I couldn’t go as low as I liked without some adjustments.
  17. The case is quite nice but the foam is cut to hold the headphones in a particular way, I.e with one cup at the end of its travel and the other on minimum. I had to cut the foam to let it accommodate them with both sides even. Also they go in the case with the right cup on the left which takes some getting used to. The zips on the case are noisy so I’ve taken them off to replace with rope toggles (made my own but have ordered some proper ones). I’m sure a cheapo non fitted case could be used just as effectively as the headphones fold flat very nicely.
  18. I’ll see if I can find out if the hardware is different to the guitar version. I assume so, but will report back!
