Oh. My bad 😂 somehow I thought it was cheaper! Edit: I must have been looking at K10.2 prices rather than the 12.2...

@Frank Blank looks like you’re going to end up in profit once the AER sells!

Good work! And a very handsome Mouse you have there sir.

I just saw the price and it made me want to cry.

I want it!!

All the Bacchus basses I’ve seen online have looked fantastic. Been eyeing up that red one on the Bass Gallery site for a while now!

This could get expensive...

Looking forward to it! Also, just realised I’m in your neck of the woods for the next few weeks - I’m doing Aladdin at the Cliffs Pavilion until early Jan! Didn’t realise there was a PMT here. Now I know what to do on my day off 😬

Wow. What’s the back made of? Gorgeous.

What are the controls? I’m guessing Volume, Blend Slider, Tone - and a Series/Parellel/Single Coil toggle switch per pickup?

I’m intrigued now. If you can be arsed and have the time, I’d certainly be willing to read your further thoughts!

Have you used the Stomp for this purpose yet? It’s marvellous, and I suspect you will be shelving your B3n shortly. Agreed. Maybe a slightly better battery but that isn’t worth an extra £100+. If it was an updated product being sold at the same/similar price to the original Bighead then there would be a realistic market for it. At present, sadly, I suspect sales will be quite slow.

Bass Direct sell LaBella nylon tapewounds but it looks like the smallest gauge they do is .42 - but that makes sense when you consider that they are roundwounds covered in nylon wrap...the string underneath the nylon is probably a .32! http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/LaBella_Nylon_wound.html

£1,049 is a comedy price tag, surely? Especially when this can be had for £100 less:

Haven’t used the specific combination you’ve mentioned above but having owned a TKS cab in the past I can tell you they are fantastic. Not sure if you’re aware but there are 2 x TKS S112 cabs for sale in the classifieds now at a very reasonable price.

Yep. USB-C and Thunderbolt cables are different too, meaning if you don’t use exactly the right cable, your device may not receive power or data. It makes me wonder why make the connectors the same if they aren’t cross-compatible?!

Amazing!

@AndyTravis that candy orange is pornographic! Looks phenomenal.

Great shots!

I suspect the issue here is that typically, on any digital multi FX, the presets are never great. And especially with a product like Helix where there is so much tweakability, testing it in a shop is really not the best environment to get the best out of it. It can take a bit of leisurely time to learn the ins and outs of what’s possible within the UI and get creative with routing and tweaking to get something truly stellar (as @GisserD has discovered) but “stellar” is totally within the realms of what Helix is capable of. Anyway, you’ve obviously already made your mind up on the matter so who am I to try and convince you otherwise

I suppose an audio interface with 2 headphone outs would roughly do the trick, but you’d then be tethered to a computer/laptop and do you really need another audio interface? 🤷🏾‍♂️ https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/Focusrite-Scarlett-6i6-2nd-Gen-Box-Opened/1YAB
