    Line 6 Helix.

    Sibob replied to fretmeister's topic in Effects

    Currently on the free Trial for Helix Native......ultimately testing out the sounds for the HX Effects. I'm sceptical that it can replace my pedalboard, but always up for being wrong Si

    Judging the whole competition (and football in general) based on one, fairly average, game is not particularly fair is it. But anyway, back to the OP, what's to say you can't sit and play bass whilst watching? There's a lot to be said for simply running scales and basic maintenance like that whilst the TV is on. I read an interview with someone (forget you) where they said they would have documentaries on and basically improvise and play as if they were the sound-track.....fantastic practice! But ultimately, don't be afraid to take a break from playing! Whilst practice is important, so is life.....as that feeds into your playing! It's once every 4 years (2 if you like the Euros too), give yourself a break and go even harder on the bass when it's finished Si

    I should have (way) more specific! I don’t know why people on the forum, who otherwise usually own some decent basses, get excited about basses that cost same as a set of strings......etc etc Si
  4. Sibob
    All the headstock shapes differ from each other lol, zoom in and compare. Really don’t know why people get excited by Basses that are cheaper than some string sets. Unless money is a genuine problem, they’re not going to be worth your while! Si

    Just out of curiosity, what are you hoping to hear from the amp in a music shop that is going to inform you what it sounds like at a gig in a band situation? Si

    What midi?

    Sibob replied to SH73's topic in Recording

    Is there definitely an update available? Latest version of Lite appears to be 9.7.6 If you're version is showing as older than that, but not detecting an update from within Ableton, you may need to contact them directly in order to find the best solution without losing all of your templates/settings etc. Whilst we obviously package Ableton and can offer some insight into how it works with our gear, we don't offer support on that kind of issue (ie their update servers etc). You shouldn't need to update Ableton to run the Launchkey, you'll want to explore the 'In-Control' functionality of the Launchkey and the what it means to not have that selected. There's a DAW setup article here: https://d2xhy469pqj8rc.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/novation/downloads/10606/launchkey-mk2-daw-setup-guide.pdf Page 10 of the manual starts to talk about the differences between 'In Control' mapping and basic DAW mapping: https://d2xhy469pqj8rc.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/novation/downloads/10577/launchkey-mk2-ug-en_0.pdf Si // Novation

    Stunning! Really don't see many of these at all, great way to own a 50's style vintage bass without paying vintage prices. Si
  8. Sibob
    Oh it's so lovely! Si

    I use them, you’ll get used to it, try wearing them 20-30mins before you start playing to acclimatise. If you’ve come to using them from nothing, or even crappy foam things etc, they’re a big jump. Ultimately, it’s use them, or ‘get into the atmosphere’ and lose/damage your hearing quicker. Si

    Still looking for a Bartolini Precision pickup to borrow for a few days if anyone has one in a drawer somewhere :)

    Glad to hear you went for the La Bella’s!! Looks great with the P! A matching set to my Mustang/71 P Si
  13. Sibob
    Yes, I had the same thing, largely resolved by playing with a lighter touch for sure!! Si
  14. Sibob
    Yeah I have La Bella Gold White Nylons on my Lakland 55-01, very very cool strings, love them. Low tension, so super responsive and sound great. Actually quite bright for Nylons, so might explore the White or Copper Nylons next, however I'm in no rush, they mellow well with some mild treble reduction on the EQ. Si
  15. Sibob
    Will get one tonight for you! It's really quite a thing of beauty, but most importantly it feels and sounds amazing. My main goal was a full range bass (ie 6 strings), but in a small package, but that still felt familiar. I played Eude's 31.5" scale 6er ACGs and they weren't quite for me. My old Fodera Imperial was 33" and felt fantastic, so we went with that. Because it's headless, as well as medium scale, it should fit in a Mono guitar bag.....no more ducking when getting on trains lol Si
  16. Sibob
    Very cool, but 3-5 on a week day? Just expecting the students to turn up then? lol (Well aware this kind of thing needs to fit around John's schedule, just gutted I can't make it because adulting) Will be a blast though, great job for putting it on, more of these please! Si
  17. Sibob
    Those Laurel fingerboards look gross from those pictures, like really dry and cheap Rosewood! The soapbar’d maple board Jazz looks great though! Si
  18. Sibob
    Don't see many BDPG's come up, love that thing! Si
  19. Sibob
    It's a lovely sounding thing too, I'm very much from a 'passive Fender' school of thought, hence the Alder body......although I confess to going Ash neck purely for the grain haha. Everything set flat, it's round and deep with some growl, all strings very even tonally (which is difficult with a C string usually). Very happy so far. Si

    Some of you may have followed the diary in the build forum, but for those of you who don't frequent those parts, here's my new ACG Krell E-Type 6: These are Alan's photos, but it arrived yesterday. Spec: Alder body Indian Cedar top 33" scale 24 frets Ash neck Macassar Ebony fingerboard (with a very slight radius) ACG RFB dual coils East Uni-Pre 4K I believe it's also one of the first with Alan's new headpiece, which really tidies up the string ends on headless basses! I've already recorded the theme for the new Basschat Podcast with it, loving the sound, so make sure you download that and have a listen when it's available in the next few days. Si

    ACG arrived.....just saying 😉

    Anyone have a Bartolini Precision pickup I could borrow for a few days?

  24. Sibob
    Well if you’re desperate for something, you can start with ‘Dyad’: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyad_(music) Si
  25. Sibob
    It’s typically called a double-stop That said.....there’s potentially more to it than that : https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/318155-how-many-notes-does-it-take-to-make-a-chord/ Si
