Two standout things for me with Sire (other than price), is the basses will work without a battery in them (so a full passive mode, with EQ), and the preamps have a level function to balance out active and passive. I used to have active turned down very slightly so when I used a bit of low end boost it mated the pure passive mode. -
A bass player is nothing special as far as society goes.

yeah, im getting used to it now. I like how the E string doesn't get too cut off (at least on my P). -

Got mine a few hours ago. Had a quick play on my P bass (with and without pick). I like the thud im getting. It seems to work exactly as I was hoping. A mate asked me if it works on a 5 string, and it does. It's a bit fiddlly to get on and off for individual songs though. Guess it will get easier with practice. -
Just a heads up, the Bass pack for ToneX is down to £49.99 at the moment. Seems a bit more reasonable.

Ive been meaning to do this myself for a couple of years. Please let us know how you get on.

Based on this thread and me not really needing one, I ordered one from Amazon last night 😅. I play mostly with a pick and have good palm muting, but occasionally I do play finger style and like the thud a muted string gets. -
Yeah, came out last week

Just had our 29th Nov cancelled (rescheduled to next year) because the landlord is putting a large Christmas tree up on the very small stage before the end of the month. One of those situations you cant make up 😂

I stopped playing bass during lockdown. I switched to keys. Still playing keys, but have a renewed love for bass. The time away really helped as I was getting bored with it and felt I was stuck in a rut.

That's sort of what I was getting. Plugged in to an amp it was ok, but plugged in to any FX box that's also plugged in to the mains I would get RF noise. Even my old Xvive U2 doesnt do that.

I had to use my Lekato over the weekend while the Xvive was charging. Just at home. I can't believe how susceptible to interference the Lekato is. Just tapping it while it's plugged in to my EBS Micorbass produced a noise. Maybe it's faulty, although has never actual dropped a signal.

Got mine today. Cant say if it's worth the £1400 price at the moment as ill use it as a controller mostly, but its a great update to the old version. Keybed is a bit better (never had an issue with the ol version), more knobs and sliders make a world of difference. Happy so far. Will put the old one up for sale in a few weeks I guess.

ok, have it your way. 🙄.

Yeah, I know all that, but I feel they missed an opportunity.
