Sounds like it's "fatter" in the down position rather than the up position then? No worries, just curious as to what the changes are and how they're justifying a 50% price hike from £40 to £60 for the pedal. But still pretty good value as you say.

Cheers - so effectively an HPF in Voice down position on Mojomojo?

We're all a function of our experience of what is likely to break down and which will shape our attitude to risk. It's very similar to folks' views on home insurance and the level of cover people take out. In my case, I do actually have spares of pretty much most key gear i.e. (too many!) basses, recently acquired spare gigging amp, couple of cabs etc. But I play pretty much daily at home and much less frequently out on the road by comparison, although I'm probably doing a middling number of gigs by BC standards. So for me if a piece of kit is likely to fail then it's most likely to happen at home, so I'm comfortable that if it all checks out and not showing any signs of being temperamental pre-gig then that works for me and my bands. There are plenty of pro bass players I know on BC who have not had any issue over decades of gigging with their basses (refer to the OP's previous thread for examples) and are comfortable with not bothering with a spare bass for a local pub gig but might take one to a more distant wedding. And others who will take spares of all gear to all gigs. I personally don't consider either to be more "pro" or more "evolved" as bass-players as one earlier post suggested. They're just basing their decisions on their own experience and attitudes to risk, just as some folk don't want to start gigging until the autumn due to Covid-19, whereas others can't wait to get back out as soon as we are allowed to.

Good stuff! You seem to also have stumbled on the Iron Law of BC threads - starting one can prove costly on the wallet. Well that's certainly been my experience! Maybe best not to start a "Do I need a spare pedal board" thread 😁

Out of interest did you get a spare amp, too, from your previous thread on that topic?

The "11" switch seems to have replaced the Voice switch - I'm struggling to remember whether that did anything much from the days I had a Mojomojo. Be interesting to see what this new switch is doing differently. I've recently come across this, which has taken me by surprise as to how good it is:

You've had some cracking basses along the way haven't you?!

Haha, I knew someone would say that (and quite rightly too!) I've literally just been trying to pull off one of my black knobs 😁 But it seems happy where it is.

Wondering how they might look on a white BB? Too white, or just right?

Yeah, loved my SR 1825 (which is a more recent replacement of the 1805 model Crawford mentioned). Was one of my two goto gigging basses pre lockdown. And its place in my herd has only very recently been "trumped" by a couple of later acquisitions. I'd never have described it as my "dream" bass. But it's always been a superb one.

Good stuff! Hope he wasn't telling porkies on that video interview then - and did he take them both to the same gig? But he clearly discovered the benefit of having a 5 string bass, whilst he was at it 😁

Check out the attached...in his own words. The guy was seriously "unprofessional" 😂

Well if I never manage to evolve past JPJ who only ever had one bass for much of his Led Zepp days...

Yup, i was kinda guessing it was the N4 based on the pups, but thanks for confirming Andy. It does seem to have a slightly thinner body than the usual suspects, or is that just the camera angle?

I'll probably never venture into the Wal price bracket of high-end basses, so I'm a little intrigued by the comment Mick! How does neck profile on a Wal differ from the classic J or P?

Great looking bass, which model?

Congrats! New bass and potentially new band / part! When do you hear back?

Clearly moving out of the London smog and heading further West is refining your thinking; you'll be delving into the virtues of compressors next! 😁 More seriously, are you finding that there is any difference in the overall quality / sound from the two pedals?

Hey Woody, that's brill! Just pulling you onto this B1-4 thread for my follow up B1-4 query: Great that you've already had a chance to try the B1-4 out in a band mix. What patches were you using and what was it bringing to the party? Given that you were saying that the B3N sounded a lot "richer" tonally for stereo effects, I presume you're not finding that for non-stereo effects?

There was a recent BIG debate on the related subject of amps which went on to include spare basses, batteries, strings, you name it: This seems to have split the BC community right down the middle, with plenty of experienced gigging bassists in both camps. But I'm assuming the OP will be very familiar with that thread 😁

Pricing will ultimately boil down to supply and demand with some new factors affecting that mix. Right now used car sales prices are going up!! (Due to a shortage of silicon chips used in making new cars). Not sure too many folk saw that one coming. In terms of demand, well we have a 20% VAT price "wall" around the UK on imported used basses from the EU (and vice versa) which is taking a lot of used basses off the table in both directions.

Yeah 31 bids - so I'm guessing that there must be a few disappointed purchasers who didn't win that auction and a couple who would have just been just pipped at the post i.e. willing to pay close to £2k.

Wow you 8 or so PH owners on this thread, you're going to LOVE this bit of news!

Great job - looks fantastic!

They seem to be quite different pedals to me? But I appreciate I'm no expert...
