[quote name='Acebassmusic' timestamp='1496015997' post='3308154'] They do look appealing Can they be rack mounted? I don't remember seeing any info on that. [/quote] I don't think they can Abm, unless i guess the amp was mounted to a rack shelf maybe. I could just imagine a pair of these racked in a 1u format running in stereo/dual mono with some big cabs. It'd be a great sound! (OTT mind, but hey, why not!!)

No one has mentioned Faith yet! The Neptune is a beautiful guitar!

P.S. I bought mine from Bass Direct after I did this review.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHoNNtuOpsc Mine has gigged several times now. I love it's clarity, I love the parametric EQ (The latest updates offer more control over the widths of each bands and extended frequency ranges) - Just a really clean and sweet sounding amplifier. It is an expensive amplifier due to the costs of getting them over here, but I would say that yes, I think it is worth it. The Speaker Profiles I think is a really good step forward for DSP in bass gear (You only have to look at all the threads about FRFR etc). I often don't even need EQ on the amp at all and tweak a bit on my basses.

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1495992211' post='3307991'] Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. THe bl00dy thing isn't holding its toneprint on power down/up cycles ! I've tried updating firmware etc etc. Done everything to the book, but no good. A bit of googling shows this seems to be a still as yet unresolved issue with this pedal for some. bo!!ocks ! [/quote] I've not heard of this. Is it odd units that do it, as mine seems to be ok. Hmmm!

[quote name='No. 8 Wire' timestamp='1495986764' post='3307934'] I've got one of these but haven't delved into the pc editor yet. Is it possible to save and share settings? [/quote] It's possible to save settings and also keep them saved in the editor, like saved 'patches' but there is no option to share (yet, who knows what the future holds!)

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1495956399' post='3307692'] I just can't keep quiet about this one. I have owned a load of comps over the years, including some highly respected ones like the Empress, the MXR bass comp and the MB COmpressore but this little TC pedal is amazing. Firstly its so tiny, so pedalboard space is very minimal. Secondly, its just so damn powerful and sounds so good. Noise level is incredibly low too. If you haven't read up on it yet, its a 3-band compressor (bass, mids and treble (with user adjustable crossover points)), with every variable adjustable independently, for every band. So ..... level make up gain ratio threshold knee attack release blend and probably something I've forgotten, tweakable for every band !!! There is nothing hardware-wise that can do this. I ummed and ahhed about getting this for a while, being skeptical of a digital thing, especially one that needs accessing via software but it ends up that that is its strength not its weakness. IN all honesty you do need to understand compressors, their variables and how they affect your sound to get anywhere near the best from this. The default loaded tone is IMO horrible, which is a real shame IMO because that is what 90% of people will judge it on. In fact all the downloadable ones from the TC website are very OTT and much more of an "effect" compared to what I look for a compressor to do. I'm looking for something that simply makes notes sound bigger, fatter and sit in the mix with more presence than without. I don't want it to sound obvious that I'm using compression, so I want my attack and the decay of notes to still sound natural, but just "better". This comp does it all ! Its a little limited by its one knob but TBH all the other compressors I've ever owned I've simply set up on one setting and left them there, so in theory I don't really need any external controls. You can link any compressor variable, or variables, to the knob so even that one knob can be incredibly powerful. If you change basses then it would be good to set it up as a general threshold control. I gig with one bass so I have currently set it up with the knob controlling bass frequency level and comp ratio, giving me a range of "tightness" for the bass. Its a great "Boom" control for difficult rooms. I really can't recommend this enough. [/quote] Great review and yes I can't recommend it enough either! It is the single best compressor I've ever used, the Hypergravity I suppose would be its equal but I love the smaller form factor. I also agree that the TonePrints get you started, the Editor brings a whole new dimension! I too love to change what parameters the knob adjusts and similarly, my preset I have made sounds like it's doing the same. I have all three bands compressing gently but I have a bias to the low end keeping the attacks suited to each band, then I've blended in the dry signal for a classic 'New York Compression' parallel mix. Simply, brilliant.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1495194308' post='3302035'] Very nice. Reminds me of my old Encore- my first 'proper' bass! Except mine had gold hardware. Any tribute to JD deserves applause as far as I'm concerned - monster player. [/quote] Thank you indeed! Ive been really pleased with this one tonally. It has a heft and a brightness to it that my other P basses do not.

Thanks guys! I'm certainly intrigued, but where did they all go?? ha ha!!!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1495811785' post='3306821'] OOOOHHHHHHHhhhhh. Want! [url="http://www.prosoundweb.com/channels/av/lectrosonics-to-debut-duet-digital-wireless-monitor-system-at-nab/"]http://www.prosoundw...-system-at-nab/[/url] Digital at last with latency figures that will work! 4 hours is pretty chuff though. [/quote] I'll have to check that link! You wouldn't happen to know of any battery powered (possibly even belt clip mount) IEM headphone amplifiers that can accept two STEREO signals for mixing, rather than just the usual single stereo or dual mono?

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1495741797' post='3306318'] That could make the difference. I'd say that if you added a coil tap it's essentially a Lakland 55-02 but half the price. Made in same factory I'd wager. [/quote] I think Cort have upped the game with this one and I am looking to demo the 75JJ or possibly the 75HB that look cracking.

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1495741038' post='3306309'] I had a GB75 for a couple of years. Upgraded to Aguilar pickups which helped alot. But something just didn't take me. Sounded good flat but preamp really shoddy compared to other brands (massive hiss in treble and bottom end too boomy). I tried for so long to love it but eventually never did so sold it. No regrets. [/quote] I noticed that the preamplifier diagram for the GBxxJJ models on the Cort website is labelled 'Sandberg', which could suggest a suitable upgraded circuit.

Just bumped my thread too

Bumping!

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1495708508' post='3305994'] Seen a great thread recently on the best bass lines with the fewest notes. But what about the best bass line ever, period? (With as many or as few notes as you want!) This gets my vote: [url="https://youtu.be/3dm_5qWWDV8"]https://youtu.be/3dm_5qWWDV8[/url] ...and is definitely on my list of "must have a crack at soon!" Do you agree, or is there anything out there that you think is better? If so, please share your all time favourite (and a YouTube link) with us. I suspect that this is gonna make for some fun, interesting and educational thoughts from my fellow BCs over the bank hol weekend. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Try one of these: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pole-6-35mm-Jack-Socket-to-Socket-Adaptor-/351894083314?hash=item51ee8596f2:g:zZgAAOSwB09YQYKV"]http://www.ebay.co.u...ZgAAOSwB09YQYKV[/url] Connected to a short patch cable to make an extension lead. Being a mono coupler and a mono patch cable, I think it may alleviate the problem. Relay goes in to the coupler, patch cable goes to active bass.

A seamless transaction from a trusted BassChatter! Thanks chap

I *could* tell you that the GB74JJ is a [i]brilliant[/i] bass for the money, but then, you wouldn't wait until my full review coming up of it... I love what they have done over the old GB models. Some nice upgrades there.
