I want to get a portable wireless system, so that i can still go wireless when i dont use my pedal board. Nothing other than the amp going to the wall for power. Also like the idea of it being very small and will fit in my pocket if needed. I expect to just use it at home or rehearsals, as I’d use my pedal board (and os my Line 6) for gigs, but who knows, maybe i can finally drop the pedal board completely. Ive narrowed it down to the Boss WL-20 or 20L. I understand most of how they work but one thing i cant get my head around. I can see how you pair them, but do you have to do this every time you turn them on? I tend to like to turn things off when I’m not using them, toilet break etc, but I’d hate to think every time i start up again i have to pair them. Not the end of the world as they seem to have a good battery life, but thought I’d ask first. Thanks for any input.

ive got a G30 at the start of my board. No noise issues at all, and i use it on headphones at home.

Wow, ive only ever read recommendations about Howard on here until now. Shame these things happen. Hope Sean gets a good outcome, although doesn’t seem likely. Damnage has been done i guess.

I saw this video on my YT suggestions and loved the look of it. Ive had a few basses made by Cort, but never a Cort bass. Alas i have to agree about the tone and those pups. These pups were in my Lakland and even after a pre amp upgrade I found the bass to sound very bland and generic. Not un usable by any means, but just not something i found appealing when compared to a P or Jazz bass. Wont be bothering with the Cort now, which is a shame.

Same here, although i do miss the lightness of those other cabs. Worth it for the tone though.

Ive had similar but from Virgin media twice last week. Definitely not legit.

Seen it a few times, both on stage in the west end and TV. love most the songs so its palatable. My company has been printing the music scores for the tour of this show so i have the scores for it. My son is learning a few of the songs at the moment.

Same here. No only does he waffle on for ages, i got loads of emails from him as soon as i signed up to get a ‘free’ PDF. I had to unsubscribe within a couple of days just to stop the emails i had no interest in. I love the titles of his videos, but find he takes so long to get to the point i never reach it.

What i would do is turn the MXR 90degrees, and move the tuner so its sitting long ways at the top of the first pedal. Then as others have said, you could easily get a TC Corona mini on there.

I have both the P and Jazz Classic vibes (still use the Jazz) from the first run. As others have said, its just bits of wood and a few pieces of metal. The reason i would still go for the old versions is they had smaller frets. I find these much nicer to play than the usual Med-Jumbo frets. Not a deal breaker if i was buying new, but definitely a preference that woudl sway me towards the old style.

Just put some CS 60’s pups in my original CV Jazz, so no plans on getting one of the newer ones yet. Looks like they have dropped the small frets that the originals have, so anther reason i wont bother. Had i not already got a CVP and Jazz though, I’d be very tempted.

Well yes, she is putting a show together. Everyone starts somewhere don't they? Could be its just bad English, could be she doesnt own a mic yet, could be she doesn't know how things work. Lots of bands gig with house PA’s that supply mics, and lots of bands starting out dont. always need to buy mics. Rehearsals studios have them, house PA’s will have them. Maybe she would expect a PA to come with a mic. I know a few musicians (myself included) that own a PA, inc mics that the band use (none of the backing singers in my old bands ever owned mics). I also know bands that dont own a PA and either hire one or use a supplied one. I dont get why its getting more and more common on here to start threads and rip people apart. I thought us bass players were the good guys, or at least that what bass players tell me on here. Just my thoughts of course.

Looks to me like he/she is just asking for a sound person to help put on the show. As they seem to be putting a show together why wouldn't they want a PA?

I think that as well. As much as i love white basses i was really impressed by the Matt black when i tried one of these.

And Squier have been known to use slightly non-standard Fender style parts.

Cheers guys. I had seen that photo but there was no guarantee its accurate, you know what product shots can be like (and depth perspective). i asked over on TB as well and someone confirmed the sizes, so i have a pair arriving tomorrow.

Cheers Bas (looking cool there). I think ive seen that or at least one or two tracks form that session/gig. I think the bass sounds great in the mix, and im finding more and more that's where it really counts for me. As far as pups go, spending £1150 on a bass and having to spend more on changing something is not appealing to me at all, so i'd live with whatever it came with. Saying that, ive heard good things about the black labels. if i was getting the bass custom built those are what id go for.

Yes, good price for something that also has dots on the fretboard. Its not that i need the dots, i just don’t like the look of fretboards that dont have them. Its definitely a visual thing.

Cheers Cuzzie. Its actually on Thomanns website for immediate dispatch. Ive been put off buying one in the past by the lack of fret markers on the fretboard (I know that can be ordered with them for extra), but this one has them, and I love the finish on the body. Its closer to my Sandblasted Fender than a normal goss finish. Love the black hardware as well. I’m still thinking if it s worth buying (£1145), considering I’m happy with what i have, but i keep going back to it.

I just cant find any info on the size of the Fenders. Maybe it is the norm and they would say if it was otherwise. ill send an email to Fender and ask. Cheers.

Ive had this Cali II in my basket for two weeks now. I just cant decided if I should get it. I have no doubt its a fantastic bass, and i really, really love the look of it, but i keep reading mixed comments about the pups.

It changed the tone, but i could never get the right balance.
