Thanks for the input, that's told me hasn't it. Sorry you had to waste time typing your informative reply. i assumes you dont count this section of the forum any point either then? https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/100-guitar-effects/

I see the c***s are still making music as well (the term music used in a very loose way).

There's a demo on YT now, although only guitar. Sounds nice i guess.

Ive only recently 'discovered' this band, and what an amazing bunch of musicians. i must confess to finding JD's playing a bit grating after a while though. Im not criticising him at all, i love his playing, but only in moderation. Very talented player though, makes it seem so easy.

Its going to not be as loud as the BF 2x10......obviously 😂 Looks like a really nice cab though....hmmmm 🤔

Yep, been discussed a while ago

Haha, don’t get me wrong, as with Yamaha bases i find most 'meh' looking at best. It was the fanfret 5 string that caught my eye. Nothing else.

Bugger, i knew you would say that. Well I'd need to sell my P34 first, and delete all my posts in the gear abstaining thread lol. I have played one of those fanned fretted Ibby's before, and really liked it, but at th time I wasn't in the market for a 5 string so never really had much interest in it other to compare it to my mates Dingwall. Though tit sounded much nicer than the Dingwall.

Ibby......

Damn, i just got bass GAS!!!!

Or maybe its noise from the boost before it getting quantised or something like that.

im not sure, but id certainly try it.

Ah, here's the culprit for all these FX purchases lol. Ive not had this, i dont have a pedal, but im guessing its normal. Have you got effects trails turned on? Wonder if that helps.

Its one all. I brought a RS212 based mostly on your recommendation 😁

I was going to get mine from Peach, but i went with Andertons and 9 months interest free credit. I like to soften the blow.

Dont forget we are going Helix floor next year, start saving 🙂 The Stomp is pretty much everything you could want in a small box, but i just find the FX to be so well thought out for live use that i am really over the moon with it. I feel anything i want to do effects wise i now can, even though i dont want to at the moment. With my old eyes having those scribble strips and all the parameters for any of the effects all laid out across the screens has been a game changer. I just wish the foot switches were a bit further apart.

No 😂

Ive been using these for years. Ive never noticed them being brighter than other nicks, like Fenders, but im so used to these now that i cant really remember what the others sounded like. I would also say these sound pretty much the same as the Slinky's.

Assuming your running order doesn't changed, and you can remember where each patch is before the next song starts 😁

They have their uses i guess, i just dont need that much control yet. I do prefer to treat the patch as a pedalboard though. I like the idea of turning things on and off as and when, but i do have a few 'hidden' blocks that get activated (or deactivated) when other blocks are used.

Ive still to try using snapshots, but you can assign the foot switches to alter various parameters for a certain block. I have one patch set up with 6 variations on the BDDI, just using one block. Some will also add in EQ from an EQ block. Admittedly this is overkill, but it shows how versatile the system is.

Its a nice upgrade. Also the Stomp has a few things built in to each patch that the Effects doesn't, inc noise gate, and also has a global EQ (inc HPF and LPF), so you can save a few blocks right there.

Standard 'Long' is fine. I use D'addario XL's and they work really well on my basses. I had a set of Ernie Ball Slinky's on my P34 and took them off after a couple of days. Not sure why i didn't like them, but i didn't.
