Musicguard also do this, although ive never had to make a claim Actually on the subject of musicguard, ive been with them for years, never made a claim, but at the moment im having really difficulty getting new gear added to my policy. They are just ignoring my emails. Will be going elsewhere after this weekend.

I'd love it if Line6 had included a wireless receiver in the Helix. That would be so cool IMO.

I would play what i considered the hardest song on their set list.

No idea about that one, but can i ask you what the Ivy Leaf in Cove is like? We are playing there soon and i see you are also playing there next year.

I always buy a spare. Amazon have 1000's of them.

Glad you posted this, it will help me track mine down. They all look the same to me 🙂

That was the answer i was going to give as well. Yes, it can do it, but its not easy to explain how to someone that hasn't a clue how it works to start with (no offence meant).

You could get something like a Zoom B1-Four (or the cheaper B1-On) to replace the Korg. That way at least you can continue to record in the normal way.

Cool semi-info. I would assume, like in my case, the pups were taken out because they weren't to ones liking, in which case I'd say Tonerider pups are nothing special, especially because 1, ive never heard of them, and 2, i didnt like them. Same goes for my CVP, although not quite as much as the Jazz.

Had another rehearsal last night, same room etc. It was rock solid. Still worrying though.

Just returning the favour after you persuaded me to get the Stomp (also without trying).

Never even thought about that. Cant see me ever doing it, but I suppose one or two large smartphone protectors trimmed to size would work fine.

Never heard this before. Not disclaiming it, but its the first time ive heard about it. Are these good pups then? Never heard of them either lol.

This is an original CV, is that what you are referring to, or the new, lesser CV range?

Lovely colour. I like strong colours.

I play with a pick and struggle with tone. Just cant get away from certain traits that pick playing has, but the CS pups seems to be very sympathetic to my playing style. Probably just a placebo effect owing to the fact that the pups cost so much, but the bass does seem warmer and clearer, without having too much up top. I tend to stick to Fender's spec when it comes to set ups, and then tweak as needed. Most of the time i dont need to. I also have the neck shimmed and this really makes the action feel better for me. This bass has been used as a beater bass, with different necks and bridges etc, its the bass that has had the most mods, but its at a stage where its just perfect. Now if only i didnt have a £1300 bass sitting in a gig bag not getting played......

Agreed. It took me a few rehearsals to get the balance just how i want it, but from the start i felt the CS pups gave me a tone I'd been looking for since i got the Jazz. Certainly it now sounds better to my ears than any other Jazz ive had.

Very easy. You do have to use the software but you just copy all the IR's to a section in the main window and they get stored on the Helix automatically. You then just select the IR block on the pedal (or in the Edit software), and turn a knob until you find one you like the sound of.

Touché Mr Krow 🤗

I use these to get around the missing Amp/cab sims in my FX. Sorry, couldn't resist 🙂 You can still load IR's in to the FX, so its still good enough to DI.

All this CV jazz talk as made me get mine out of retirement. This week (and maybe longer) ill be using it over my BBP34. Been playing it all afternoon. Cant believe how nice it feels, and love the Fender pups it now has in it.

Well on a small stage thats just not possible. I'm talking about him standing next to me, just when he moves around. Could be a coincidence though. It seems fine at gigs so far though.

Isn't it the same for most devices with built in rechargeable batteries?

Dont forget the Stomp has up 6 blocks, the FX has up to 9 in a patch. All effects sims are the same though, and both have all. I had my Stomp set up with 5 available footswitch but it was a pain, as I then had no Bank up/down control, and no clear indication the last two blocks were on or off. It also meant two boxes and an extra cable. The FX is so well laid out (and thought out) for live use it makes more sense to get this if you are just replacing or running as a pedal board. You can still plug the usual expression pedals in if needed, but at least you arent getting a box larger than needed due to the LT having one built it. At least this was my reasoning for getting the FX.

I'm having a nightmare with my Boss system these days. My guitarist uses the Xvive and has no issues at rehearsals, but my Boss cut out quite a bit. I think its his system effecting mine because it's mainly when he moves closer to me. Might start using the Xvive's again.
