HX Stomp XL with original box, power supply & all paperwork/instructions etc that came with it. I’ve gigged this extensively - it’s still working perfectly and is in good condition, with just the odd mark/scratch on the finish, but nothing major and nothing on the screen. Duo lock underneath which I can remove for you if you don’t want it I have bought 2 of Ian Martin Allison’s preset packs at the cost of just over £70. The two preset packs that are on there are the: Signature Pack https://ianmartinallison.com/store/signature-pack Classic Amp Pack https://ianmartinallison.com/store/classic-amp-pack Theres also presets from Austin Beveridge and Tim Kirschke in there, and a fair few other ones from the Line 6 user library I have used this pedal for loads of different gigs, and if you’re new to Helix there’s quite a few presets in there for you to use ready to gig that I have used, so if you feel a bit worried about getting used to a new piece of kit then there’s loads of useable stuff there so you can just get playing immediately, obviously if you already know your stuff they still might be useful - the Ian Allison ones are excellent either way £425 inc free shipping-

Yeh I mean I know the guy so I’m biased, but he would (and has) genuinely say if a product is shit, and isn’t afraid to point out issues even if they’ve sent him the pedal for free, so it’s nice for me to see it from the other side, and hope the bass reviewers I watch are similarly credible

GP-50 review by my bandmate Lee 👇 here for anyone who’s interested, looks good value still and much better having a screen and two footswitches - just the fact it does NAM captures makes it worth the price alone - some excellent captures of stuff like the DCX Bass and the Jad Freer Capo which can either save you a lot of money, or give you a chance to try the sounds before committing serious money to them. Saying that I’m buying an Anagram on Monday 🤣

Best bass chorus there is IMO hands down, -
Seriously?!? I wish they’d told me about it! They could have at least sent me an email?! I’m totally sick of being stuck in one area of the fretboard..!

The first lot of five strings like this and the BB5000 seemed to have really skinny string spacing!

This ☝️ I think a lot of people have bought it because they get all gassed up by the YouTube videos, but then realise they don’t have any particular need for it in a live setting. Tracking wise I found that it wasn’t as good as I thought Ian Allison made it look and said it was but I don’t blame him for that - he was pretty transparent, his technique for it is just flawless. The tracking is still good, but you do have to play a certain way. For simplicity and having the main sounds a gigging cover/wedding/function band bassist is likely to need at your fingertips the MXR absolutely kills it, that was a very astute piece of design/marketing. People don’t necessarily understand filters and square waves etc and so find the C4 and FI overwhelming, I don’t think it’s necessarily that the MXR is better than either of them (I’ve never had an FI to comment - the FI sounds top drawer in the examples @Quatschmacher posted up earlier in the thread) but the C4’s editor certainly baffled me and I ended up getting rid fairly quickly as I just needed a couple of tones for certain tunes and had neither the time nor the inclination to bother to work it all out. The MXR is set & forget if you want it to be, and that suits the majority I think

Makes a huge difference imo, I also think the rest of the preamp is better quality too - zero noise from the treble boost etc which wasn’t the case before. I’ve just updated the listing to mention that the pickups are the Sadowsky hum free stacked jazz bass pickups, no single coil hum, inside of bass is all copper shielded as well -
I’ve not got luggage scales but using bathroom scales with and without the bass it’s weighing 4.3kg - pretty average for 5st jazz, if you get a nice wide padded strap as I have, it seems to balance it pretty well. I’ve got rheumatoid arthritis and have done multiple 2 hour gigs on this without any issues. Cheers

I’ll get back to you in the morning and let you know

2nd Gen Sadowsky MetroExpress Jazz 5 string in Olympic white with tort. Upgraded preamp with VTC, in good nick - has been gigged but looks really nice and clean, just may be the odd superficial mark from general use - it looks absolutely stunning tho. Roasted maple neck & fretboard, 18mm spacing (upgrade to Metroline bridge for 19mm spacing - works fine in this neck if that’s what you wanted). Edit: The pickups are noiseless/hum free pickups rather than single coil Absolutely fantastic B string - really good, which shocked me, even tone all over the bass, plays amazingly well with a great neck - this is worthy of the Sadowsky name and is night and day better than the first gen (I’d say it’s what you’d have expected Gen 1’s to be) Looking to trade for a decent P Bass (I can add money on top for the right bass) or straight sale price - £595 Comes with Sadowsky padded gig bag - shipping can be arranged for £20 via DPD

I managed to find this again which suggests it’s a 2nd gen Edit: It comes from a blog post on a site I’ll link below 👇 it’s got this table for all the Sire basses that came out as Gen1, quite useful if you like that sort of thing (like I do 😁 haha). https://gsus4.com.au/blogs/news-promo/whats-new-2nd-gen-sire-bass?srsltid=AfmBOooMUHWtuQszqBm5NqKQabfJtub5oqkYPAcLS5tcJuEBKRBirlmW On another note @Davy I’m only down the road from you and if this is till here first week of Jan I’ll come up and get this -
That’s what I noticed - I would have bought the 3/4 size if that was reduced, I might still buy this full size one although I suspect it’s going to be too tall for my summer house/man cave where all my music stuff lives
