    If all of her gigs have PA support, the solution is undoubtedly a HX Stomp. That’s it. She can practise at home through whatever rig she has. Headphones if she has no rig. Spend a little time making presets at home either on the hardware itself or through the excellent PC/Mac editor. When heading off to rehearsals or the gig just sling it in the front pocket of the gig bag and hook it straight up to the desk when you get there. Job done. Perhaps slightly more technical than lugging an amp up the stairs and turning it on but in the long run it offers the best price-to-versatility-to-power-to-weight ratio.

    I’m most intrigued by this. The idea of “Trace watts” is quite prolific/legendary. I feel a video demo may be in order. Anyone??

    On a slightly different note, I fitted some Maruszczyk Nickels on my Dingwall Super P5 a week or so ago (from Bass Direct) and can honestly say that after a day or two of being a bit too bright sounding, they’ve mellowed down nicely and feel really lovely to play. Great tension for me - not too stiff, not too loose. Much prefer them to the set of D’addario NYXLs that I fitted and then removed within 10 minutes! This is all subjective, of course.

    Excellent use of “risible” - haven’t heard that in a while . What’s so bad about the grease bucket circuit? Can’t say I’ve used it. I’ve recently installed a Tonestyler in my Dingwall Super P and have to say it’s excellent. I usually have it wide open or 1 click off closed, depending on the song. If it’s not quite right, I’ll adjust from those positions but generally those are my starting points and they tend to be spot on for me. Fully closed is cool but I find it loses the characteristic of the P pickup as it’s pure sub. 1 click off fully closed introduces just enough of that P character for me whilst still being very dark. I still use the fully closed position for fun sometimes though!

    That was pretty crazy. Change the playback speed to 0.75x to hear it at normal tempo

    Oh dear...the pink one is calling to me! Lovely basses.

    This is no doubt true, but as the OP stated he wants to spend as little as possible for a set of strings, I doubt forking out for 3 years’ worth is an option for him!

    Yeah Mono call it the “PickPocket” (clever) and it sits at the end of the strap that attaches to the upper horn so not really suitable at all for a wireless transmitter. Great straps though!

    Still here and still gorgeous. Have a bump on me.

    Exactly. If the rest of your setup is analogue, you’re unlikely to encounter latency issues with 8ms on its own. Equally, IEMs aren’t going to add to your overall latency unless you’re running them wirelessly.
  11. CameronJ
    This is spot on. The 8ms latency of the Smooth Hound on its own isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker but when chaining it into digital effects, a digital mixer and through a digital wireless IEM system, each of those components in the signal chain will be adding their own additional milliseconds of latency to the pile. It won’t take long for the result to be unusable if one isn’t careful about their choice of hardware.

    I think I may have played this very bass back when it was still in stock at Bass Direct - really really lovely bass. Maruszczyk do great work. This is a bargain IMO.
  13. CameronJ
    Ah. While I do glance at the 4 string section, most of my focus rests in the 5 string area so I’ll take your word for it!
  14. CameronJ
    Can you give me a shout once the full set of John East knobs are available?
  15. CameronJ
    I literally check the Bass Direct website every day or at least every other day. The used stock levels have remained quite consistent in number, whilst the actual basses themselves are constantly changing. I certainly haven’t noticed a significant drop in online stock levels. Haven’t physically visited the shop in over a year though!
  16. CameronJ
    Carrots.

    Price dropped to £650 as I have my greedy eye on something else
  18. CameronJ
    These are utterly excellent. Good price too! Someone will be getting a nice deal here.

    Alas, Stomp is perfect for my needs really, so I’m not looking to get rid of it any time soon. Such a great feature-to-size ratio. You’ll love it when you get one!
  20. CameronJ
    I’m already a very happy Stomp user and yet I’m tempted by this Really good price for the daddy of Helices and floor controller + extras. GLWTS sir!
  21. CameronJ
    It’s a handsome beast for sure!
  22. CameronJ
    Bargain!
  23. CameronJ
    No idea how this hasn’t sold yet!
  24. CameronJ
    At that price, I’m tempted to get one for the gig bag!

    Been playing with the configurator again: If only I could have lollipop tuners...
