    Yes, I paid a similar amount when I got it.

    For Sale Fishman Platinum Pro EQ preamp £100 - ***SOLD*** Never gigged, home use only, lovely preamp, no marks or scratches, in fact I’d go so far as to say it’s in pristine condition. Reason for sale - it’s been usurped by a Stomp! It’s roughly half the price of a new one, cheapest I could find online was Andertons at £189. Will post at buyers expense, happy to deliver personally or meet somewhere within reason, which is a fair way for me, I like driving. With box and mains lead. Here are the details from Fishman. Here is a PDF of the manual. Here’s a demo video... ...and here are some pics.

    Well the Stomp needs a ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ on the packaging. I had no idea that it was capable of speeding up time, I sat down around 11 this morning, plugged it all in and started noodling away setting up my own presets and I looked up, 10 possibly 15 minutes later, and the clock said 16:30! Brigadier..!

    Down in the Bottom from Walter Becker’s brilliant first solo album 11 Tracks of Whack, great bass playing and excellent lyrics on this album.

    Absolutely this. I saw him four times, how he didn’t kill himself during the earlier gigs is beyond me, possessed performances.

    Fad Gadget..? You! Sir are a scholar and a gentleman. The other three bands are superb but Fad Gadget, man, some of the most exciting gigs I ever attended.

    Definitely a combination of the quality of the lead in the first place and how you look after them, especially the coiling correctly. It’s worth investing in good leads initially because it makes you look after them. Of course @obbm‘s http://www.rock-wire.co.uk/ and https://www.amazon.co.uk/designacable/s?k=designacable

    Hear it? I can f****** see it from here...

    I must listen to these as they have been remastered. I often listen to Crass and wonder if the production had been better if it would have actually been a good thing, I think the scratchy tinny sound is part of the dissonance, like fingernails down a blackboard. Love this band, obviously.
  10. Frank Blank
    You know what? I was always (daftly) put off this band by the name, going to listen to some now.
  11. Frank Blank
    Absolutely. I’m kind of experimenting and larking about on the phones but when setting up patches for live I’ll do the lot through the QSC.
  12. Frank Blank
    Well I'm going on the assumption that they are configured for acoustic guitars rather than basses but they are set up in a way that I was going to approach configuring from scratch, so Vol, Pre and EQ blocks at the start, they sound pretty good already but I'm on phones at the mo, now I have these as a starting point I'll take it through the QSC and tweak them for each bass and the QSC and see how it goes.

    👍 now I can continue manual reading without constantly flipping through because I was sure I'd missed a step. Now the presets are named there are three with an ACO prefix (which I'm assuming is acoustic) and I can use these as a starting point to configure my own settings for my acoustic basses.

    @krispn & @Osiris thanks so much, just the factory reset cured it and now I have the screen with named presets and prefixes. *salutes*
  15. Frank Blank
    Excellent, thanks!
  16. Frank Blank
    Aha. Yes, it was from new, I'll give the factory reset a go but the first thing I did on opening the box was install the latest firmware, I'll try it and report back...
  17. Frank Blank
    Thanks @krispn. The view button does toggle between play and edit screens but on the play screen it simply says '01A New Preset' and as I scroll through, 01B New Preset, 01C New Preset and so on, in the Edit screen there are diagrams showing the blocks but nothing that has a prefix. The videos look like this... Mine like this...
  18. Frank Blank
    Yes, I am a manual reader but still cannot find the screen that appears on the videos with presets with prefixes.
  19. Frank Blank
    Stomp newbie here, ahem. I’m noticing on all the ‘how to’ videos that the screen is often displaying already named presets that have a prefix like ‘FX’ or ‘DIR’, I have presets on my Stomp but they are unnamed and without a prefix, am I looking in the wrong place?
  20. Frank Blank
    @ZilchWoolham & @Beedster are both spot on here but @ZilchWoolham‘s correct comment about the torn speaker cone (a screwdriver accident) is a vital part of that tone. I believe I’m correct in saying he used a Hiwatt guitar head into a 4 x 12 combo (with punctured cone) in the early days and this ‘orrible slice of avocado shaped into a bass...
  21. Frank Blank
    Välkommen.
  22. Frank Blank
    If you get the chance, try out an Ibanez SRC6, I know it’s a sizer but seriously, as I’ve said far to many a time on here, they are more addictive than crack.
  23. Frank Blank
    This is really helpful, cheers!

    ^^^ This.
  25. Frank Blank
    ^^^ this. I know you aren’t keen on the look @dezb1 but try one, it might be just the ticket. Depending on your location you are welcome to try mine. Or come to the South East or East Anglian Bass Bashes.
