Sorry, I think I asked this before, but I cannot remember the answer - or the answer was V3 will have magic in it. If I got a pedal to transmit the correct cc doobrie (as you can tell, I have no idea what that means) can I make the FI sustain, because I presume I could if I was triggering it with a keyboard. If this is possible, would it be possible to make a Helix FX throw out this info? I am not jumping FI ship, but considering a Boss SY1 as well to use as a "sustain" pedal. I am not thinking of making moving sonic soundscapes happen, I would just like to make a long note on my bass last for a LOT longer. Kind of like organ pedals. I have no desire to play over the note. I am a bassist. I look after the bottom end. I have other people for the other stuff. TIA.

I sacked a drummer once. It did not go well.

Is it bad that my first thought was that a bass made by @Jabba_the_gut had made it into the wild? Don't get me wrong, it looks lush.

I would be all over that lovely blue Yamaha in the classifieds if I were you.

There is a 5 string ASAT semi acoustic in metalflake gold in the UK somewhere. With matching headstock I think. I think the guy who does Strictly owns it. I need to get out more. I would be all over that like a bad rash if it appeared on the market.

Thanks Kevin. I guessed as much, but ...youknow...new things......

I am sending a bass to Norway. UPS have given me a Customs Invoice. Where on earth do I put that? In the case? On the case in a clear plastic envelope? Can anyone give me guidance? Google cannot - or I have missed it.

Go Bloopdad1 ! As an aside, if an amp is good for Bass Guitar, it is good for Double Bass as long as your pickup is looking at an impedance load it is happy with. A dedicated preamp is all that is needed.

Their finishes are lovely.

That switch is ALL sorts of wrong. Surely that can be done with a rotary switch?

The Behringer P1 has a 9v in so that is immediately easier.

While I am at it, is there a good reason not to use these 9v to battery clips? https://www.amazon.co.uk/ammoon-Battery-Converter-Connector-Female/dp/B06XRNRSC5

I am rationalising kit. I have too much. I have 2 Fdeck HPF boxes which I would like to combine into a metal floor box. I would like to use them as an active AB box for Bass Guitar and Double Bass. I would like an AB footswitch with lights to clue me in with what channel is open. I would like an overall mute footswitch, also lit. I do not need LEDs that can be seen from outerspace. The footswitches need to be electrically silent. All that pop and bang stuff through my amp drives me up the wall! I would want to keep the volumes and the HPFs independent for each channel. I would also like a passive tone roll off on each side, but if that is the stupidest idea it is not a deal breaker. I would also like a balanced DI out. I have a BSS DI box which is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good. I would also like to plumb a Behringer P2 headphone amp in. And I would like all to work off 9V power supply socket so that it becomes a battery free zone. Am I barking, or is this do-able? I could mount them all onto a piece of wood, but would not have the tidy element I crave and also not footswitchable and mutable etc. I know there are pieces of kit out there which would do this, but I happen to REALLY like what the Fdeck HPF does to piezos and passive basses. This could just be a passing phase as I sift through stuff on a Sunday afternoon.

I have a bass with an all rosewood neck. It is very lush. Everyone should have one.

Is it nearly the end of 2019 already? Surely this thread was only started 3 moths ago. How did that happen?

Cracking vocal as well.

I am digging this. Nothing clever happening - just a good song and a good arrangement. Which I suppose is the cleverest thing. I shall hunt them out. Thanks.

I would love to contribute to this thread in a meaningful way. But I cannot. But I will say YES! Very cool.

Thanks, I will be as well. In fact, I just have.

I have been throught the same thing. It will sort itself out. If the windings bother you then cut them, but stretching them and latching them onto the machine heads then can be a job.
