I didnt have a bad one, i just didnt like it and all the glowing reviews are obviously based on people liking them 😉 As an example i compared just the neck pup on it to my CVP and the CV had more body to it, and just sounded more 'P' like. It was only the tone i didnt like, the bass was well made and had no quality issues (other than i thought the neck edges were a bit sharp). But if i didn't like it i couldn't possibly recomend it.

Haha, no, i wouldn't recommend the VM, but i think these are a different line.

Are these the VM PJ basses you guys have? I had i one a few years ago. Never liked it, not even with a set of EMG Geezer Butler PJ pup's in it. To me it sounded quite lightweight with no real body to it. Anyway, the point of my post is to recommend the EMG's lol.

Yeah, I have a few of those hanging around, but after posting g above I think I’d like something a bit thicker, just to give the knobs and screen a bit more protection.

Getting to grips with this thing now, and still not downloaded the editing software yet. Has anyone got any suggestions for a thin case for the Stomp? Looking for something that will stop it getting scratched when it’s in my gig bag rather than a self contained carry case for it. More like a skin I guess.

Good result. Always nice to feel appreciated at the end of the night.

New to you, new as in never been owned by someone else or played. To me both those say new bass. Sitting in a warehouse for 3 years, still new. When someone sells something on here and states ‘as new’ , they are talking about the condition, not that its been on a trip in the TARDS lol.

Actually, while we are on the subject of latency and the Stomp. I have no issues with a wireless and the Stomp, but yesterday I plugged the Stomp in to my Megaboom BT speaker (using a cable of course), the delay was horrendous. Totally unusable. Ive used the MB load of times with my Zoom B1-Four (and B1on) without any real issues, so I have a feeling the Stomp has a much higher internal latency, albeit still under what the human ear can hear under normal circumstances. We just need to be careful what’s further down the line

Ive just tried this, although I used my Boss WL-20L as the second link. I did noticed a bit of delay. As i play with a pick it’s easy to hear the click acoustically and then the amplified click. Only minor, but it felt like it wasn’t worth doing. The Boss has less latency than the Xvive2, but not by much.

I’m really not to fused at the moment, as I’m used to it and still thinking about moving it on at some point (not just yet though), so dont want to mess too much with it. In fact it plays just fine until i pick up a gloss necked bass, and then I notice the difference.

Oh, there goes the tone of the thread lol.......... ....it’s normally something I would say so high five 🙌

Cheers, I’ll give it a go. Its not that it’s too sticky, just not a smooth as my gloss necks.

Yeah I understood what you was saying. I was just pointing out that I find satin to be more sticky. I do think the black 734/734 look fantastic. Much better than gloss finished basses. I used to have a TRBX505 in brown. Very similar to the 734/735 although still not as nice.

Cool. I was just wondering about your question regarding the satin finish, seeing you already own that finish. I will say that I find the satin neck on my P34 to be quite sticky compared to my glossed backed Fender necks.

You have a 734 in your sig?

No, not at all. I totally understood what you meant. We are bass players after all........

In my case being around my band mates gives me a superiority complex 😊

Yep, the Q/strip didn’t even get to unpack its bags lol. Not that I don’t like the Q/Strip, its just that I really don’t see a use for it now I have the Stomp, plus the, P34 doesn’t seem to need any extra EQ to sound good. I would like to add that my very brief testing of the Stomp’s BDDI sim shows it can pass for the V1, but really doesn’t compare to my V2. Then again north does my Programable BDDI which is also based on the V1 BDDI. I do think I’ll use the Stomp’s version though. I used a V1 for many years and it was more than good enough.

It’s odd but I do get nervous before a gig, but not because of messing up on stage, I’m fine once on there, but I just get nervous around strangers.

Haha, i do this sort of thing all day long at work. Im very much loving the GK 800 head and cab sim. So much so that I’m tempted to use this with the band. Not sure if that would be too much as I’d be running it in to my GK MB800.

Thanks Bas. Did you combine the yourself? I was just about to do that. Saved me a bit of time.

Thanks. I do have those pages bookmarks but I was hoping for something that wasn’t split up like that.

Right, 24 hours in and I’m getting to grips with it. Ive got a great patch for the guitar into bits in Lonely Boy. I got the whammy working well. My guitarist won’t be too happy lol. ‘Does anyone know if there is an updated list showing all the sims etc. The manual is out of date. Ive got a list of the newly added ones, but I’d lie the full list in one place if possible. Still working through this thread. Lots of good tips.

Do what I do, use one anywhere you think it will sound good. Its easy enough to turn on and off.

Lol, because the word 'Man' is in the OP's username, obvious really.
