Get Up and Go - The Go-Go's

This Is Not An Exercise - Voivod

You really can't go wrong with an Ashdown 300w MAG head (or combo). Puts out something like 200w @ 8 Ohms, 300w @ 4 Ohms. Should be able to pick one up relatively inexpensively second hand too. I have the 2x10 combo, and that's plenty loud enough for band use. Just checked the Ashdown site, the EvoIII puts out 220w @ 8 Ohms, 330w @ 8 Ohms.

Always had a big soft spot for the SB Special II, owned a black one from '84 in the late 80's, 'til I stupidly part-exed it for an Encore Strat in the early 90's (shut up, I know! ). Always regretted that. I did however end up getting an '82 Westone Thunder 1A not long after. Managed to find another one around 2006, but life hadn't been too kind to it. It was still a nice bass, but nowhere near as nice as my original one. Bizarrely, that one was an '84 model as well. In all my research around the time, I could never find any info on the SB Special II, only the RSB Deluxe. From what I can gather, they were only made in 1984, as I've never seen one from any other year. No doubt, @Fionn's and @FlatEric's ones will be from other years. 🙄

Excellent find @Maude, some great looking creations there.

I do the same on the HD500x, set up two paths, one clean, one dirty, and blend them back together. Just wondered whether they'd figured out that it's a useful thing to have if you're using these devices for bass. Though the parallel paths are easy to set up.

I know there's the B7K model on the Helix, what other bass-specific OD/Dist/Fuzz models are in there? By bass-specific, I mean do they have a "Mix" / "Blend" function?

Golden Years - David Bowie

Never noticed any mid-scoop on any of my passive basses. I think a lot has to do with the pickups and the electronics involved. YMMV

After Forever - Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath - Reunion Electro Hippies - Live

Sleepwalk - Ultravox

Helix LT Sorry, I should expand on this. Both offer great potential, however, both are compromised. The HX Stomp by it's size and connectivity options, and the POD Go by it's lack of some features found on the Helix and limited connectivity. The big plus point of the POD Go over the Stomp is that you have more footswitch options, as well as the Expression pedal. Still torn between the POD Go & the Helix LT though. However, I'll have to stick with the trusty POD HD500x.

Slayer - South of Heaven tour. Played my three favourite songs first. Left at the end of the fourth song.

My old band played there with local louts Acrimony. Loud gigs: Probably too many to mention. Usually in tiny venues with massive PA's & amps.
