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.

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/

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!

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!

Enjoy! The Spector LT4 https://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&edid=4c194c8f-0b8c-496f-bd11-22d4d1c3e01b&pnum=253

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.

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.

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.

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!

Now that is rather interesting!!

Yup, my review above used the 2i2 Gen 2 with zero issues and I am very fussy about latency!

Absolutely brilliant interface!

This reminds me of the time I received a phone call to play a last minute gig the following day because the headline band had dropped out leaving everyone in the lurch. “Yes!” I said, “What band am I playing with?” “Oh, there isn’t a band as such. We’re putting a band together right now...” By the time the band members had been confirmed we had just 8 hours to perfect the headline gig, including the 1 hour journey to the show itself!!! It was brilliant flying by the seat of our pants and the audience loved it because they all knew what had happened. We called the band, “The Last Minute.”

If that is the case then it might be a good idea to know what the pedal is. From what you are saying, I assume the centre positive power connection you refer to isn’t a 2.5mm barrel type?

I did pay more for my '76 USA P bass, though that was from a shop. I didn't mind though as I was happy with the price; it was absolutely what I wanted and very much pleases me to this day. I can only really echo the comments above about value. £1400 would appear good for a clean instrument without issues even if it did bare scars from years of use. Mine certainly does. I agree that a 'concours' example would be devalued by the addition of an aftermarket pickup, but at £1400 I don't think this will be a showroom piece. Steve is right. If it plays well then it's a good price, with the added tonal options. Very worst case if you bought it and wanted to return it to original is that you remove the added pickup, have the slot filled and then get the body resprayed? (Unless yours is also a natural finish!!)

and then you get a company whose compressor controls work in the opposite direction "to that of modern compressors". A certain, well known studio classic!
