    @Mrbigstuff I don't see that happening, there's no real parallel between China and Japan in this respect. Post-war Japan had crippling poverty coupled with a heavy US military presence, folk grew up with a culture they wanted but couldn't afford. When their economy picked up folk bought American. China had decades of crippling poverty but almost zero experience of US culture. Now things have improved, when they want nice things they buy domestic 🙂 One of the Zheng'an luthiers, Zhang Weiyi, charges between $26,000 and $52,200 for his guitars; man has a waiting list 😎

    Mass produced. . . someone calls the timber yard and orders 20 tons of wood to be delivered. Not mass produced. . . . the luthier goes to the timber yard and selects the wood he's going to make into basses.

    I’m currently running the most expensive gear I’ve ever owned and guess what…yeh it sounds the same as I’ve always sounded ,occasionally hitting the right notes and sometimes in the right order unfortunately not always in the required song. I have been educated playing lots of set ups ,had fun and drawn my own conclusions along the way.Only took me the thick end of 50 yrs to realise that a bass makes Bassie type noises.

    Nope. Some of the opinions and argumentative natures of the odd Poster, do not make me want to engage with them. I've seen other people post "eloquent" replies, and it turns into a pile-on, where the sensible reply is immediately classed as being written by a far-right scumbag. I'd rather just leave quietly...

    Would it be possible to get rid of the "Confused" Emoji, and insert a "Rolling Eyes" Emoji instead? Recently, some of the Comments on a few Threads have become sillier, or even more radical, and they deserve nothing less. (Don't recommend an "angry" Emoji. I don't want these posters to think they're annoying me. I simply want a way to express my opinion on their 'views').

    Honestly, learning by doing is best. If you want a short cut, I'm happy to demo my method with you, if that would be of use/interest?

    I used ACS ones with the ambient filter. They failed twice and couldn’t find the issue. They refunded me in the end at least!

  20. Paddy777
    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
  21. LawrenceH started following Speaker spikes/feet
  22. LawrenceH
    Not used spikes, but when putting cabs on wooden stages or hollow floors with a propensity to resonate in the upper bass and low mids, I've had very good success using slabs of firm packing-type foam between the speakers and the floor. Audibly and measurably tightens up the bass in those scenarios - the kind of situation where you're otherwise pulling out tons somewhere between 80 and 300Hz on a graphic in an unsatisfactory attempt to control the woolly boom. Edit to add it's also great under stage monitors and often buys more gain before feedback.

    May I ask for the weight of this bass?

    For sale is my TC Electronic GMajor-2 multi effects unit in fully working condition and updated to the latest firmware. Pictures show it in its usual rack home (rack not included). Although most of the standard effects are aimed at the guitarist I have found the compressor, gate, flanger, phaser and octaver (up and down) etc. to be very useable for bass. I can either factory reset before shipping or leave the presets I have created intalled. It has built in EQ, noise gate, compressor, reverbs, delays, wahs, octaver, tremolo, phaser, flanger etc each of which can be switched in / out from the front panel as required. I have been using this via my amps effects loop and found the compressor (and all the effects) just add their effect without changing the fundamental sound of the bass. Comes with original box and operating manual. You can use the unit in your DAW as well as with your bass / guitar etc. Patches can be easily selected from the front panel or attach a midi-pedal (I used a MidiMoose). There is also some Vyzor software you can download from the net which allows you to interface your PC with the GMajor-2 to edit and backup your user patches. I have also attached the GMajor-2 and Vyzor manuals below. tc_electronic_g-major_2_manual_english.pdfVyzor_G-Major2_Quick-Start.pdf I estimate UK shipping about £10 to £15.

    I have been looking for a jazz bass with matching headstock in fiesta red for sometime and recently found the vintage VJ4. Thoughts? Build quality silimar to squire? Lightweight or on the heavy side?
  28. Paddy Morris
    Good video by Hervé Jean here: But also if the new strings are a wider gauge than the old ones, maybe the slots in the bridge are too narrow, so the strings are tending to stick as you tune up and pull the bridge forward? A luthier won't charge very much to adjust the bridge feet and slot width for you. So if it continues then get it booked in. I went from steel to gut and my bridge was always collapsing. A luthier fixed it for £150.

    Off topic but I’d hate to think what the new demand in such a wealthy country could do to inflate vintage guitar demand and therefore prices further.

    Sadly the case is too small. 😞

    Hey hey! Still intrigued to hear opinions of anyone who has used the ACS Ambients....
  37. jazzyvee
    I wonder if Bass Direct or Bass Bros would be interested in attending, they are fairly local. Might be worth inviting them.
