  1. Well, this spurred me on to try connecting the editor. Connected the midi, turned everything on, nothing (but quite a lot of digital noise). Tried to get the ports of a midisport air to connect, but still nothing. Used a midi monitor was getting a channel change message from the FI when I pressed the footpedal. Checked the midi leads, they were fine. Generally the FI Editor would just lock up if you tried to do anything and without reading the manual it was very confusing what it was trying to do, except if you went to the manager (would be nice if this wasn't a menu, but whatevs!), if you click a preset (which was grey), that was it you couldn't do anything after that, apart from quit. Also if you went to the directory and selected remote login, but didn't have a login, you also had to quit as you can't get back from there. Almost gave up! Tried a different interface, the midisport 4x4. Didn't work, remembered it actually had to have a driver, installed driver, driver didn't work, system to late, downloaded one from github, installed it. Yay, actually appears and now I can connect and all is fine. With a midi interface working ok, connecting and going to the manager loads all the presets, and as I had signed up with an account online as I wanted a way of not having to quit when I pressed that button, I had access to those too. Loaded some presets and played the tracks they went with (Clothes off worked really well), seemed like I had got somewhere, but taken a while getting there so had to go and do other things. Next time I get a chance at least I will be able to do a bit more and the manual will be more use from here on in!
  2. You don't really need to have video skills, just record some short videos showing various things, just as a static video, that would be useful. There are videos reviewing it, there are videos showing the sounds, but there are no real videos showing how to do anything with it.
  3. Its not high on the list of my worries, but actually, the a few gigs ago I played live I played a Shuker bass into an Ashdown CTM100 into a BC112 amp, using leads made by some guy on ebay in Sheffield, so if you ignore the Helix HX FX pedal, yes, it was all British. So as others have said, it is not something I really care that much about, but turns out a lot of my gear is british. The CTM has now gone, replaced with an ABM600 (which I assume isn't built in the UK but by a UK company), and the last bass I bought was british too!
  4. I found out from wedding rings about mine!
  5. I am alergic to nickel too, but obviously not as badly as you - just makes my skin go dark when I have played for a while.
  6. Well, people liked it at the SW bass bash. We do workshops too, although it might be a little bit of a jog for you! Do a local one and record it.
  7. Yes, I had mine in my home setup, although it is fair to say it has quite a pop when you turn it on when it is all on one power strip. There isn't any room for it on my gigging strip and until I have some presets there is no point having it there, so yes, home is the best option.
  8. Who wants subtle on a Chapman Stick And also that is the best of them - the humbrol gold separated trying to paint the others. I also haven't cleaned the edges yet
  9. OK, finally tried it with the enamel pain, gold humbrol. It is pretty lifeless. I think I might pick up some acrylic. It won't last as well but it is a lot brighter!
  10. Really need to give mine a try with this. I have now played it twice, once being at a bass bash (when it did actually sound pretty good).
  11. Not sure I want an amp with a built-in Essex, I like to keep all my Essexes very external
  12. How about groupies that can carry an 8x10 cab and know how to wire up the PA?
  13. I shall look into it. Although now their post count is enough to see it
  14. You are right, I didn't realise that. Which is a little sad as I have an ABM600!
  15. Yes, we used to be vat registered, but it wasn't necessary when I no longer shared the company. It isn't worth the effort for her and she would end out considerably out of pocket with it as well as requiring more work in a field she doesnt know (and she already runs her company on her own so she can't cope with additional work). So just take the financial hit of losing all her european customers.
  16. Depends if they sell enough to be vat registered. Thats the reason my wife has lost her european market, she isn't big enough to be vat registered, so its no longer viable to sell in europe, but obviously that isn't an issue in the UK. And as I previously said, the price didn't say that taxes were paid.
  17. It clearly shows on the invoice that no tax is included or paid so I don't think it would be successful.
  18. But if people do decide to get it, remember there is uk VAT to add to that when you get it
  19. Its not a renamed line in, there was never a line in before. But its a signature, it is just a different style with the same power amp and a reconfigure of the preamp. Its nice to have a choice.
