Nice, I love Between The Buried and Me, will give it a listen!

Yea that’s the blues driver. My VB99 has that built in and it does sound really nice on bass. I went down some real rabbit holes with various amp and cab sim variations but eventually ended up with the clean amp and cab setting for everything, with slightly different mic and EQ settings, some with another amp or direct mix blended in. Then the Roland limiter adjusted for each bass to taste, and some reverb. Aural heaven through my cans! It’s great fun though isn’t it - I really enjoy the fiddling and trying different things. And of course once you’re done, it’s a simple plug ‘n’ play job. Glad the pedal’s working out!

As some of you know I’m deeply into the P/flats sound at the moment not least because a lot of the new music I’m discovering features some tasty P action. Latest discovery is below. Phenomenal bass playing; tasteful, groovy, busy, sparse, it’s all there - and the rest of the band are fantastic. I normally avoid any albums/artists with ‘funk’ in the name as they tend to be anything but, but this is awesome. Go on, give it a spin 🎧

Added a slight background glow on the notifications (dark theme). This colour is tied to the background blur which you see when composing a PM on desktop. I thought orange looked nice as a glow on the notifications but it was a bit much behind the PM screen, so think this grey works OK.

I like the MXR M81. It's dead clean (if I want drive I'll use a separate pedal) and sounds great - with shiftable mids. Nice colour too, and takes batts, so a pretty ideal thing to have in your bag.

Pics? @Woodinblack I think the V1 was the origional Kickstarter unit. I don't think there are any in shops - and you can upgrade them to the new version I think. I believe a way to tell is that it doesn't rumble anything you put into the AUX, whereas V2 does?

That should look a little clearer now; trouble is for some daft reason it's tied to other random text colours which need to be on the darker side. It might be possible to adjust them separately if I dive in a bit deeper by bypassing the admin CP and going to the code, but I'm likely to break it.

I've actually spent the last hour making you a special theme all of your own, and made the text on the default light theme a bit darker. Sorry I haven't got round to it immediately, I stupidly put my family and job before your progressively less polite request. You're welcome!

Don't worry, it's not that obvious tbh - even I had to go back and change what I wrote because I forgot where it was!

First of all, thanks for the continued support! The easiest way to check your current purchase status is to look at 'Manage Purchases' here That should give you the next expiry date. You will also receive an email I think two weeks before the renewal, which will give you a week's grace period to renew at the discounted price. Perhaps that's going to spam? Let me know if I can help with anything, it looks as though you're all set until late November? Thanks again for supporting the site, we rely on people subscribing even if they don't use the marketplatz Cheers ped

Ah ok. It looks like you can screw it on if you like but I find the clips are strong enough to not bother. Yes moving it from strap to strap might be a challenge, but a fun project to solve

Maybe BC orange? The only downsides I have discovered: Comes with US plug so you need an adapter Hard to reach jacks so you need to make a wiring loom if you want them in a convenient place Jacks are non locking, so trial and error is required to make sure said wiring loom has enough slack not to pull the jacks out Headphone output has no limiter Knobs can move fairly easily if you're getting the thing in and out of a gig bag for example Clips on the device can dig into your back if the pack isn't placed well, therefore double layered straps work well (see above) Some double layer straps cushion the vibration too much The pack produces quite a rumble which you can hear if you have your headphone level REALLY low and the pack quite high on your back On a super high output bass (G&L SB1) you can get feedback if you have volume up and let strings ring Pack is relatively heavy and when you're not used to it you can forget and let it swing around and knock out your friends All of these are easily avoided with some playing around and DIY, which I happen to rather enjoy - once you've got it working for you, it couldn't be simpler.

I've just merged two threads about the Backbeat with the same title Good stuff @Woodinblack I look forward to hearing how you get on with it. I've had a chat with the designer and it sounds like Backbeat 2 is in the works, so watch this space. I don't think it'll be around for a while yet though. Has anyone got a silver one? Only ever seen them in pics.

No. It can be a cable tie, Velcro or even some string. In pink.

It’s not an option for users at the moment, I can only select that or the other style via the admin controls. I’ve asked if it can be made a user option so watch this space.

With Elixir rounds it’s hard to know but generally after a year or so I think ‘surely they’re dead by now’ and change them, to realise they were fine! Flats - when they start to lose stable tuning or they break!

Good stuff. Although people tend to assume they’re for IEM users on big stages, they’re a great addition to any playing situation. The battery lasts ages but when it dies the pack starts to cut out now and again (rather than slowly lose power). When you’re totally in the zone, for a second you’re thinking ‘hey what happened’ before you realise the feedback has stopped and it’s like you’ve put the bass down. I’m also playing at a much lower volume through my headphones when using it because I’m feeling the music as well as hearing it.

Very nice set, a PJ makes a great addition too. Maybe something graphite and super modern next?

You need two more jazz basses and you’ll have three sets of three!! Great collection

I mostly use mine sitting at my computer, naked

Oooh yes please! Will PM

I thought the same until I tried one. I use it live and at home. Even with a big amp at band practice the sensation of the rumble on your back is really addictive and helps you feel the bass.

This view is available as well - not sure I like it though
