  1. I’m pretty sure you need to power the pedal via 9v supply in order to get the pedal to be recognised over USB. I’ve only ever edited toneprints on my iPad editor though - iPads have a power restriction on the lightning port so maybe a high powered USB port on a PC/Mac would work...?
  2. No problem, although don’t just take my word for it - watch as many demos/reviews online as you can and, if possible, see if you can try one out for yourself. You might love it. The Gallien Krueger Plex is a much more feature-packed alternative. It has a built in tuner, compressor and amp simulations in addition to the EQ and headphone practice amp capabilities of the SCR. Something like a Tech 21 Bass Flyrig could even replace your Boss GT completely as it has the functionality of a Sansamp pre but with the added bonus of tuner, compressor, chorus, filter octaver and fuzz effects in a neat format. The GT10B’s parameters are much more adjustable though so it completely depends on how much you value tweakability vs simplicity/portability. All that said - If the GT does the job for you, keep it!
  3. What kind of band do you play in? If it’s loud rock with a loud drummer you may struggle.
  4. I’m pretty sure there is nothing the SCR can do that the GT10B can’t, other than having the convenience of a headphone output and Aux input on 1/8” sockets. The SCR is pretty widely noted as having a poor on board distortion so I have little doubt you could get something at least as good if not better with your GT10B. Obviously the SCR is much smaller than the GT, so that may well be a factor for you.
  5. What are you looking to gain by adding the SCR-DI?
  6. I’m sure some of you have seen this before but for those who haven’t - prepare to be amused! For all you Acoustic Bass lovers, fear not.
  7. Do what @mcnach did and order a custom Precision with 2 J pickups instead of the P
  8. @Smythe this bass sold a little while back!
  9. I’m a reasonably recent convert to the P Lovers’ Club. I guess I spent years loving bass in general but it’s only recently that I’ve truly started enjoying the distinct characteristics of a P vs a J vs an MM etc. I personally enjoy them all but there’s no shame in realising you only truly love a specific kind of bass. Why force yourself to like an instrument? Life’s too short. We all want a bass to feel great AND sound great but ultimately if we don’t like the basic sound our instrument makes then I don’t think there’s any point in playing it. Music is primarily an aural experience after all. If you’ve found your “voice”, don’t be afraid to stick with it.
  10. That is grim. We have it all to look forward to...
  11. DSM Omnicabsim for sale in the classifieds, folks. Get it while it’s hot!
  12. That looks glorious.
  13. I personally prefer the way they complement the inherent tone of a P pickup.
  14. Fast forward to 1:10 to get to the jazz bass part of the video.
  15. I’m actually getting some Labella Black Nylons put onto my Sandberg Electra VS4 as we speak, amongst a few other mods. I’ll hopefully be able to pick it up from The Gallery tomorrow so will report back. Very excited!
  16. As a general rule, flatwounds are quite high in tension vs nylon tapewounds which are known for having a much lower tension. I guess the order of string tension from highest to lowest would be flatwounds > roundwounds > tapewounds. If you’re used to flats then tapes will be quite a change!
  17. It’s probably the best value for money Synth pedal ever made.
  18. Except that if you listen to any Jazz, Neo Soul, R&B etc (as I do) that method will often not work 😒
  19. Hmmm. You could do worse than a Yamaha BB424 or similar. The P/J config would give you a different flavour to your US Jazz.
  20. The dinosaurs are slowly but surely approaching extinction if this thread has anything to do with it!
  21. Now back up at £950! Seems the seller saw the error of his/her ways.
