Rumour has it that only by reaching the final rank on Basschat can a bassist reach their true potential. It is said that until they reached rank 14, Victor Wooten couldn’t slap and Bootsy had no idea what funk was. It is said that until they reached the rank of Grand Master on Basschat, Justin Chancellor couldn’t play in 7/4 and Flea was merely a Bell Pepper. Since April 22, 2009, I have dreamt of this moment. Finally, it is my time to ascend to the ranks of bass greatness. I’ll see you on the other side… It is time to play the bass and stop spending so much time on an internet forum

And another belter landing on the playlist straight after…

Since the day this track came out, it’s never left regular rotation on my playlist.

Small pedalboard. I’m disappointed… the guy calls himself a pro and he has a pedalboard that can still be carried by one person. Pathetic!

I’d post this in the Repairs & Technical forum - the folk that frequent it are likely to offer some solutions and it’s more likely to get noticed and addressed there.

I had a custom Roscoe LG with a Pau Ferro board. I picked it over Rosewood as I thought the colour and subtle grain was gorgeous. Performance wise, I didn’t find much in it next to rosewood boards that I had on similar instruments, but personally, I found the colour of it more pleasing to look at.

Yamaha RBX5 A2. I love lightweight basses, and I thought the light up knobs would look the part in my live electronica band… but it just sounded really lacking in both lows and mids and I could never get it to sit right in the mix, not matter I did with amp EQ. Add to that a few rough fret edges and the plastic-like coating get a bit sticky when the sweat and beer started flowing… overall, it wasn’t good. Bonus mention to the Warwick Rockbass Vampyre. I didn’t buy it, but I did win it in a competition… played it twice and had to sell it. It felt bloody horrid to hold, and even worse when you tried to sit down with it.

Super useful - thanks!!

How much of a difference/upgrade is the V4 over the V2 Longsword?

The Horrothia Type One X is 18v, oodles of headroom. It has the same front still, but the version now being sold is called the One X and went from 12 to 18v... I assume due to some headroom requests. It's easily my fav chorus I've ever used. Edit: I should add that I've tried this pedal on 9v and 12v as well, and honestly don't have any headroom issues doing so. I'm interested in what made you ask the question? Have you read other comments somewhere about there being headroom issues?

A few small tweaks for tonight’s rehearsals. Pretty sure I’m going to be going back to the PedalTrain Jr Max to fit a few extra bits on, but for now, this is rocking!

Yet another flawless transaction. Part-ex on a pedal. Payment and posting the pedal my way was prompt, comms great. Can’t ask for more!

Entirely valid. I guess I'm just used to left handed listings making a very clear point of it. You know, because we're only bassists and can't be expected to tell right from left without some help That aside, the Shedua on that is a really quite special!

I know the pictures tell you all you need to know, but don't you find it odd that the listing here never once mentions that this is a left hand bass?

I miss that pedal. It has a really unique tone and sounds brutal!

I don't think I've ever seen one of these before... but I really like it! Very cool. How does it sound?

The Immerse is seriously good! I have the older version and it rocked. I not have Wet V4. Neunaber really do make the best reverb for bass! This trumps my Source Audio Collider and even the Iron Ether Nimbus on bass IMO. Super cool little board.

Honestly, I don't think I'd ever need more than +/- 2 octaves - I never have before. It's the presets, especially being able to switch between different presents with ease during a track that's really appealing.

Thanks, that's super useful!

Cheers! I'm torn at the moment between getting the 100 and the 1. In the past, whenever I've used pitch effects, I've always had them on a dedicated expression pedal, so the 100 feel like the natural choice for me, and the presets in it are an added bonus that I am likely to make use of. On the other hand, I have more expression pedal splitters than I can shake a stick at and it's not big issue to have the expression on my board also be used for pitch when I need it, so the XS-1 is temping for space saving and less money. Decisions, decisions.

Sounds good!
