Dood

That would be me! My Bass (and Guitars) have been (successfully) paying my Mortgage and been feeding my children for many years now. Oh and paying for my accountant ... who gives my money too the taxman.Hmm.. lol

Bass Direct have a Helix up for sale: (ex-demo) http://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/XD_Line_6_Helix.html

Take my damn money!!!!!!!!

As Ambient says, bot GarageBand and Logic have good drum sequencers built in, but if you are not using a Mac and you also want an application that works stand alone, then specifically Toontrack's EZ Drummer 2 has got to be one of the best in terms of sounds, ease of use and price. I use it virtually everyday and I'm still finding cool things to do with it. http://toontrack.com The loops that come with the app are arranged in a 'finder' so that you can either tap in a groove that you are looking for and it will list hundreds that match, or you can select by a playing style (say half-time rock) and it will offer up a whole pile of grooves that might suit a chorus, or an intro. Fills and breaks are also included. One function I really like is that sometimes I find a cool groove but the kick drum doesn't match my bass line. That's ok as you can remove just one kit drum from a groove and replace it leaving all the other hit-hat and snare detail in place. You can create songs structures in the time bar and when the whole thing is ready you can export your work. Or, you can do all of this from within your DAW of choice because the app also runs as a plug in. You can trigger it via MIDI using a keyboard or an electric drum kit.

I reckon @obbm would be able to make you something amazing!

These don’t have disconnecting cables? So it’d be a case of breaking the shells to replace the cables ? i know its possible to buy new cables for resoldering but it’s whether or not splitting the earphones casing is what you want to do.

Probably best to let us know what headphones you have!

Always time for a bit of bass love

Oh you legend! Wow I wonder if someone will make a conductive version rather than use the copper tape!

I'd love to see it just from the description irrespective of if I needed a bass or not ha ha!!!!!

For once, unbelievably, I'm going with "Jaco only needed.." blahdee blahdee blah Just 4 strings for this plan.

Excellent! 15mm ha! That's insane... but also very exciting. I used to own a Gerald Veasley signature bass that had a 14mm spacing over 6 strings. I miss that bass. This thread has got the cogs whirring. Thank you Basschat, this is either going to end up being the cost of a bridge.. or.. a whole lot more!

I'm really hoping that somewhere it's possible to save the level of the pedal at zero rather than max in this case.

Agreed! Tone, brilliant; Weight, brilliant; Balance sat down, brilliant. It's just my forearm and elbow that gets in the way of the body 'wing'!

Yes yes, @Pete.young also mentions the same.

Yes absolutely love it to bits, but I've always struggled with the body shape when sitting down fo similar instruments. I have only had the opportunity to pour over the original D-Bird prototype which was an immense instrument. Maybe I need to get one over for a review! Dan

I'm actually being seduced by my own review videos.. god I'm good ha ha ha!!

I have ended up buying kit after I reviewed it. I AM completely skint!

I wish I had the budget for a Dingwall Combustion 4, but the Ibby makes a strong argument when there's no funds at all to begin with ha ha!!!

It'd be interesting to hear one tuned all the way down. Maybe that Davie05061023 on the YouChoob could do a video.

I will be all over it like a rash. I wonder if the EQ can be edited too? .. Oh and thank you Bless ya heart!

I found Transcribe rather clunky and frustrating. Like Audacity, REAPER can do everything transcribe can. Reaper also has the benefits of being a full spec recording application too (DAW). So I would wholeheartedly recommend getting that. Dead easy to use! https://www.reaper.fm

This could well be an option to look in to as well.

Thank you so much so far. I'll add an additional fly in the ointment as the tuning will be down to A (below a 5 string B) so I guess "long scale"/+ will be the order of the day.

Just running an idea by myself at the moment and in case I've missed any, do the readership know of any (outside of going custom) stock basses that have a really close 4 string bridge spacing. 16mm, 16.5mm etc?
