  1. Phew! That was close! I nearly had to sell one of my children to buy these!!
  2. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Brilliant!!!!
  3. Absolutely! My first tuning device was a set of pitch pipes!! Many years later my first electronic tuner had a big switch to select the string you wanted to tune and a needle bobbed all over the place wasting my time whilst attempting to bring the bass in to tune. Yeah I can kinda understand the producers thing certainly for tuners of yesteryear. The "cheap stuff" available at the time for us poor musicians varied in accuracy between brands. Unless everyone used the same tuner then yes, tuning discrepancies were obvious even to my relatively young ear in music. I recall trying to talk a guitarist out of using their tuner because it was either shockingly inaccurate or broken! Hopefully those issues should be less of a problem today, or rather, it's less likely to be the fault of the tuner itself.
  4. I couldn't find a feedback thread for David, so I have taken the liberty of creating one! It's "all thumbs up" from me! David has recently bought a pedal from me and it was a super smooth transaction.

  5. In all seriousness, I teach all of my students to tune accurately by ear especially for such times that the tuner fails to switch on. - Just a case of also teaching a student how to get the drummer/guitarist/WhoeverIsFaffingAroundMakingTooMuchNoise to be quiet long enough to get the bass in tune too!
  6. Ahh! Close! D'Addario / Planet Waves actually do a version that is designed to fit on to the tuning key mounting! https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/accessories-c2/tuners-c51/clip-on-c490/planet-waves-ns-micro-tuner-clip-free-pw-ct-21-p12335?gclid=Cj0KCQiApaXxBRDNARIsAGFdaB-eVj9D-KyUnbjwpNYMo91nIgi-DhuXjS48CNm0c1wc2qpY2E1A_GEaAjZ1EALw_wcB It's brilliant and means that NO ONE CAN NICK IT!!!!! ha ha ha!! (You can just slide the tuner off the clip to change the battery or what-have-you but don't tell the band mates that!!)
  7. Ahhh nice set up! I owned the Accugroove TRI210L for a few years - that was a great little cabinet - a little dark sounding in certain situations though. I do like those Genzler cabinets though. They sound really good - as you say, wherever you stand.
  8. Great, reply sent - on hold pending for you

      Hey no problem @JapanAxe! I'm just trying to spread the bass love! Would be good to share as I am hoping these reviews offer a great resource. Just want people to know about them!!

      I'm going to see what I can do about making it easier for everyone to access the reviews (and of course know about them) - I just haven't figured out how yet as my mind has been elsewhere for a while. Maybe a decent signature?

  10. The HD360 60th is, but the 502 isn't live yet: https://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&edid=a066cbcc-f592-48d8-a2ac-0efda992257e Issue 40, I covered the Reidmar 750: http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&edid=eb04d4c4-3ffb-4ddb-9333-c100955b7c51 Nearly all of the back issues are available to read covering over 300 HD video reviews I have done. https://www.guitarinteractivemagazine.com/issues/
  11. The GSS is dual mono, which put me off as I’d wanna play with all the lovely stereo effects in my Helix. The Carvin looks like a great unit, but I wonder if it will “do” 4 ohms even? That leaves the HB and it’s huge power supply box lol! For the money though, that’s a a fun practice rig!
  12. I have a Reidmar 750 as a backup amp that I bought for a crazy price here on BC. It’s a great amp with lots of balls. The TD650 is in my “top fave amps” list, though I admit it’s been years since I’ve played through one. My memory I think was still good though as I recently reviewed and A/B’d the 30th Anniversary HD360 (which is essentially a 350) and the new Reidmar 502. They are both very good indeed. The 502 is a loud little dude too!
  13. Enjoy! The Spector LT4 https://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&edid=4c194c8f-0b8c-496f-bd11-22d4d1c3e01b&pnum=253
  14. P.S, I also loved the Hartke 4.5XL cabinet that had a 5" mid driver on board instead of a dedicated tweeter. Yes, the cabinet had a very particular tone to it, but the clarity was definitely different to that of the tweeter less 410XL version. The former I much preferred especially up at volume on stage.
  15. I agree with what you say and I do recall thinking that the sound did seem to be clear when sitting off at an angle as seen in this video. Whether or not that was entirely to do with the line array alone OR that we were also using a 10" driver loaded cabinet too, well, I couldn't compare against a standard cabinet at the time, but I do rate this cabinet design. Interestingly, EA's NL112 has vertically arranged HF drivers and also happened to be a great sounding cabinet too.
  16. ZOOM B1X FOUR now added - Boxed and un-gigged - *****SOLD NOW*******
  17. P.s. The two Mini Valetons are in original boxes.
  18. TC Electronic Dreamscape (Toneprint enabled) fully stereo modulation pedal - Chorus, Flange, Vib etc - £65 TC Electronic DITTO looper pedal - £50 Valeton Analogue Octave pedal OC10 (as discussed at length here on BC - sounds like a Boss) - £40 Valeton Analogue Compressor Pedal CS10 - £40 Valeton DAPPER Analogue multi-effects "fly rig" offering Compression, Amp Sim, Octave, Filter/Env Filter and Chorus and TUNER - (comes with power supply!) - £80 SOLD Korg Mini Pitchblack tuner - £35 Only the Dreamscape has ever left the house, though some have been mounted to a home pedal board. Will happily ship with the inclusion of £8 to go toward insured and tracking shipping. (per parcel if you buy more than one!!) MORE pedals to come in separate adverts soon.
  19. I can’t remember off the top of my head but I think the standalone app has its own audio settings to adjust to sort out the latency, whilst the plug in version will use the host settings. (Logic) I’ve been able to easily run my buffer at 96 (whatever the units are lol) but I get negligible latency even at 192 using my 2i2. That said, my host is a bit of a beast though lol. Oh and yes, plug the interface directly in to the computer.
  20. I used to work with a guitarist and we would often laugh at how we learned things. Back then, before I figured out how I could speed learn, it would take me a long, long and sometimes tough time extracting and learning bass lines accurately. However, when I had, it would be in my head for years even if I didn't play the song. I'd go to jam sessions, sure that I wouldn't know a particular song.. but, when the count came up, things seemed to fall in to place. The guitarist I worked with was quite the opposite. It was insane to watch him remember huge sections of shred guitar solos even after one or two listens. We would play them in the rehearsal room and it would be bang on. Come back the following day? Gone. We had to relearn the guitar parts!
  21. Now that is rather interesting!!
  22. Yup, my review above used the 2i2 Gen 2 with zero issues and I am very fussy about latency!
