    In which case, Lee, you should seriously consider the Ibby SR Portamento... 😁
  2. Al Krow
    Those do look really interesting Paul. But I've just checked and they're a lot heavier than my RCF10As and a lot more expensive too! Looks like the old kit is going to stick around for another day yet...

    Here you go...

    Well it looks great, sound fantastic in his hands and doesn't cost the Earth. What's not to like?!

    I do - HB Spaceship 50M plus a couple of their IsoBrick Pro PSUs (the 5 and the 12). Although my main board is a larger PT Metro 24 with the IsoPro 12 underneath, made viable by this really neat height raising hack: What are you using the TC S'n'U for? If just for octave up to give you a POG effect then the oct up on the Stomp is pretty good. IMO the Stomp is marginally beaten for sound quality by the Digitech Mosaic (which I have) for oct up and there's quite a lot of love for the Digitech Ricochet (which I've not got my hands on yet).

    Which model BB is he playing?

    Mick - seriously check out the Ibby SR Portamento. Just fantastic. And a used one won't break the bank either.

    @oldslapper - what a great pic!! Maybe time to update your Avatar with that one? And you sing as well - bloody marvellous!

    @M@23 love the simplicity of your set up Mark! And I see another vote in favour of HB boards and their IsoBricks - they really are great value! How many different fx do you have set up on your Stomp that you are regularly using?
  10. Al Krow
    Ibanez do a superb compromise with their SR Portamento fretless: lined side markers but unlined on the face of the fretboard. Best of both worlds - playable kudos! 😊 Oh...and the bass is not too shabby either.

    @ped...looks very neat! Now can you PLEASE turn your Stormy pedal the right way up? 😁
  12. Al Krow
    Yup absolutely! Set the dirt to Darkglass B7K or Xotic BB and off you go...😉
  13. Al Krow
    Damn that's lovely! Whoever this is going to is in for an absolute treat!

    As "rising stars" it would be churlish not to give due weight to both your views on this, but perhaps less so than from a mentor: It is, however, entirely appropriate to ignore anything I spout, being a knackered old veteran from many failed compressor campaigns...😂

    Ciocks are great. If you want something equally compact with similar output but at half the price check out the HB Iso Pro range. I have an Iso Pro5 and 12 powering my two boards.

    While we're waiting for the nano PB to hit the UK market, something comparably loud with very decent bass, even more compact and with multifx, tuner, drums, aux-in and looper all included can be got from this Megaboom micro rig...batteries definitely an option too! 😀
  17. Al Krow
    Yeah, know what you mean...just like when buying a Rolls Royce you end up getting a BMW these days. Or a Helix Stomp is just another Yamaha product.

    Some seriously nice pedals on your mini board! I see you have a Proton Mk 4, it's a great envelope filter. For the size, IMO, very possibly the best analogue filter currently available.

    Hi Alain - I've not had either combo you're looking at although I've had a couple of the larger MB combos, but I was interested in your query - the Vox does look neat! And I have to confess having a soft spot for Vox as my very first amp, which was both very loud and incredibly heavy, was a Vox AC30 in the days when I pretended to be a rock guitarist. I've not found too much discussion / direct comparison, but this short thread had a few posts: Markbass Micromark 801 vs Vox VX50-BA | TalkBass.com

    Lively covers bands wanted for East London paid gigs. If this first gig goes well then there is likely to be an opportunity for a residency with 6 to 8 gigs PA. The following regular (2 x 1 hour) slots are available: Thu 2 piece - start 8.30pm end 11pm Fri 2/3 piece - 8.30/9pm end 11/11.30pm Sat 3/4 piece - 9pm to 11.30pm Fees......2 piece £220 Fees......3 piece £300 Fees......4 piece £350 You will need to provide PA & backline. Please tell me about relevant gigging experience, whereabouts you are based and a YT clip(s) of live performance and/or showreel.

    Yes, clearly!! Haha! I suspect it's why ped reintroduced this feature (which we had an even more detailed version of before the last system upgrade a few years back), as he's worried about the mis-spent middle-age-dom of so many potential Jamersons who have turned down the possibility of fretboard mastery for keyboard mastery. 😁 Although, if we do the math, my total only works out at an average of less than 1 post a day on here since the thread was started. But if you want to see what a truly mis-spent middle age looks like then look no further than: I guess I've now had my quota on here for the day...🙂

    Ok, so we now know that the top 4 culprits (amongst many!) who have kept this thread very alive and kicking over the past 4 years have been...😁 TOP POSTERS IN THIS TOPIC 259 942 351 1330

    Love to get a second opinion on the Octava, if you do. I currently feel like a lone voice shouting at the void on that one 😁
  24. Al Krow
    Very interesting - thanks for sharing that! I guess that explains why I had multiple enquiries yesterday with an eBay buyer buying the unit outright without even trying to haggle! I totally agree low-end suck is a real downside to bass distortions, particularly RAT based circuits and our band mates do want us to underpin the low-end, it's what we're there for! I'm sticking by the Pigtronix Octava as being a really good alternative to the Ripper though. It's seen off several bass drive units including the excellent Damnation Audio MBD-2. Obviously in terms of influence Royal Blood vs Al Krow, there's only ever going to be one outcome... 🤣🤣 🤣

    You still taking bets? 😁
