    Yeah, the Zoom B3n or B1-Four (much cheaper). No DI but other than that, does all the Spectradrive does and way more. For home practice you have amp and cab sims, headphone out, aux in, looper, drum machine, loads of effects etc. Dont get me wrong, i love the Spectradrive, but I find its a very basic box, albeit one that covered my needs at the time. Killer feature for me has always been the EQ. Its just perfect for my tones. I got a BH800 head based on it having the same EQ section.

    I like to shim my basses when i get them, if i can. None of the basses ive had with HM bridges have come shimmed, and none have needed it. In my case I just like to have the strings more parallel to the fretboard.

    Just come across this. Not cheap at £2100 starting price, but oh my...... I’m sure these have been mentioned before, but its new to me. #blackbassesmatter.

    Sorry, way to much for me to read, but if it was positive i can only agree with you. Loved mine when i had it. Probably find a few threads on here about it as well.
  6. dave_bass5
    Exactly the same for me. I also like that they are 19mm string spacing. Some of the basses ive replaced the bridge on were 20mm.

    Haha, nail hits head.

    How did it end 😂
  9. dave_bass5
    Haha, no, I meant i was just agreeing with you. I love how it hardly changes the tone, but adds the breakup.
  10. dave_bass5
    Yep, as I said earlier, the clean boost is the best of the lot, and only one I found a use for.

    I must the only one that doesn’t walk around with a tool box in case my cheap bass falls apart 😂😂

    ‘What sort of stuff do you play? We dont like it too loud here....’ Normally during load in 😏

    I’ve listened to the whole album 3 times now. Its a good album. Ive probably got a few more listens before i get bored 😁

    Saw loads on the ground over the park today 😂 Sorry😬

    Not quite a small and light but i have one of these. Didn’t get it for bass specificity but its been very handy.

    There is a free version of Cakewalk available from Bandlab’s website. Very well polished DAW. Been using the paid versions for years.

    No problem. I’d like to use my AirPod Pro’s but cant.

    I’m starting to put a very small recording set up together, based around my ipad. Not a cheap way but i already have th iPad, and its more powerful than anything I could afford in the laptop world (i have a PC but down want to use it). I can plug my Helix Stomp in to it via USB and record using that. It handles my bass/keyboard/guitar etc. I recently got a Yamaha Reface DX as a note pad type of thing, but it works perfectly as a controller in to my ipad. The free GarageBand is great, although i have Laos started using Cubasis which is even better. Obvulsy the ipad can be substituted for my PC if i choose. No need for a USB interface if i use the Helix, although hi have a Scarlett 2i4 if i need it.

    Although not totally relevant to this thread, pedals like the BDDI (which is in the B1, as well as the Helix) have a Blend, but even with the effect right off the EQ still affects the clean tone.
  20. dave_bass5
    I had a 55-01 and upgraded the preamp. Didn’t make much difference (then again why should it). My advice is start with the pups. Those Bart MK1’are quite boring.
  21. dave_bass5
    Thats how I understand it. Parallel paths are great, but if a sim has a blend then its doing a similar job, assuming you are just using the second path to send the whole signal to. Being able to send only part of the feq range to a clean path is handy i guess, although pedals that have a blend usually dont, and they seem to work fine for most off us.
  22. dave_bass5
    Yeah, way too much latency. Just tried it with my Helix and BT transmitter. Fine for music of course, but not with playing. Could be the type of BT system though. Mines pretty old.
  23. dave_bass5
    As soon as the signal hits the input it’s converted to digital, just like in the Helix. Nether is passing a pure analogue signal through them, not even when using parallel paths. Have you (or anyone) tested a 100% clean blend compared with the sim turned off? It should be the same. in which case its acting just like the real thing isn’t it?
  24. dave_bass5
    Ill give it a go this afternoon. I have a BT transmitter somewhere.
  25. dave_bass5
    Yeah, i have the polarity reverser from when I briefly had a SmoothHound.
