I have a Boss ME90B and a Zoom B6, I am looking to pair either up with a Headrush 112FRFR then bleed the signal through the PA, might this work for a rock covers band?

Interesting, thanks for that. My amp is a GRBass One head going into a GR212 slim cab.

Basically trying to achieve: NIce clean punchy tone A Bruce Foxton sstyle tone A Phil Lynott tone A distorted overdriven tone Queens of stone age A mellow Bass tone Initially

Basically Bass into Helix, Helix to bass amp & cab, no additional pedals.

I understand building the presets and have put a few together, but this was at home using HXedit and headphones, when I used it at a live rehearsal, they sounded very different, and output volumes varied. I know it is a question of trial and error but I think I must be making some fundamental errors. I also have a Zoom B6, which I have no issue with and seems to work well, I just wanted to see if a Helix would be better, and I am wondering if it is better suited to guitar?

Hi Guys, I have picked up a second hand HX FX pedal and have started tinkering with it, have any of you got any experience with these, got any decent presets, or know where I can get some specifically for bass. I have started building my own, but not going fantastically well! Cheers Stuart

Just did a trade with Wayne, what a top bloke, would happily deal with again.

That would have been the Market Tavern I am guessing, that was a great sorely missed venue.

Gordon Bennetts is pretty much the only dedicated music venue in Hereford!

Great gig at one of our local music venues, first outing for my Rics, which performed amazingly well! Nice Bank Holiday vibe,

Cheers!

Cheers, balances really well, very underrated Warwick, but still one if my favourites!

Cheers! Was lucky I had a bunch of Warwick spares and know these basses well! Love a project!

I know, I never understand why other brands haven’t adopted a similar approach to the nut. Basically, I removed card, oiled the screws and turned the screw one turn, sorted!

I know, I have had Pro 1’s and just never got on with them, but the Pro2 is so nice to play, so light, ergonomic and I think punchy. In its own right the Pro2 is a great bass.

For many years I use to play and love a Warwick Dolphin Pro2, it served me very well. I know they have an interesting heritage, best summed up as ‘The bastard child of Warwick’ (coined by someone else), I sold it on here years ago. Fast forward to now, I found locally on Farcebook marketplace a pretty much identical model, slightly different colour scheme but same vintage. Picked it up last night from a lovely chap at a reasonable price, so brought it home. Fair to say, I could see the potential but it obviously hadn’t had a lot of love over the years. I fully stripped it back removed all hardware, and deep cleaned it, polished the frets (which were not worn too much at all, result) oiled the fretboard, several times. Checked truss rod moved. Tightened up all the machine heads, which were loose. Adjusted the nut as it had a bit of card under the G string. The jack socket needed replacement too, again, luckily I had one in my spares cupboard. Luckily I had a new replacement bridge in my spares as the original was very manky and all the saddles were corroded. I then put a new set if Warwick red label strings on it and did a full Warwick set up, stage by stage, ( forgot how much I enjoyed setting up Warwicks). All in all, 4 hours work, a new bridge, set of strings, a replacement jack socket and a lot of lemon oil and cleaners and duraglit later, and I have a sensational bass to show for my troubles, it has come out better than expected. Very pleased with the result, a really playable bass, and a world apart from what I started with.
