New BL-700 on the way for my matching pair. This is likely to be my last ever bass purchase unless I can persuade someone to sell a certain white 70s fretless Precision.....

Although I am not a rookie as far as electronics goes, however I have made one rookie error. When I tested the unit I had a slight buzz. Very hard to hear but there nonetheless. Looked at the specs of the two units, the TC Helicon Mic Mechanic 3 needs 300mA at 9V which is fine. The power modules I have are 9V 3 watts so 333mA current supply. In my head that was enough for the Zoom B2 Four too. However I was wrong, it needs 500mA. Luckily, both Myra and Vigortronix make a pin compatible 5 watt version. That gives me 550mA anf it more than enough. I am annoyed that I could have ordered them with the other bits yesterday but hey.

I love his vids, he's absolutely hilarious, but really informative too, brilliant 👍🏼😎

My D800 was having a similar issue some time ago, I found a screw missing from the bottom of the casing, replacing that cured the problem, might be worth a quick look

PA should always carry the instruments, and again the reason is dispersion. Low frequencies have no problem filling a room as they're not highly directional, or directional at all below roughly 250 Hz. But that's not the case with mids and highs, so if you want 'not a bad seat in the house' the mids and highs from everything should be in the PA, drums included. Not necessarily loud, but just enough to give a uniform sound throughout.

True isolation means no connection at the power supply. The problem, is that on the typical 10 way supply such as Donner etc the power supply duplicates the signal grounding and often causes ground loops that imposes hum or buzz. Many people will never experience it but my two pedals do interact. Using totally isolated supplies will reduce ground or earth loops.

Normal ones or the Apple ones?

I felt exactly like this during lockdown. Brought a keyboard and found happiness again.

We have someone on the Kent section who used to ask for musicians but ‘no one who has to use an iPad’ along with other demands where I couldn’t see where the ‘problem’ was.

At one point I dabbled at Jazz guitar using my 15" BW bass combo. It was remarkably good sounding for guitar (I hasten to add my playing was not).

Looks there is now a long waiting list for these, Andertons saying > 3 months, and Guitar Guitar saying end of September 😮

I watched the basstheworld video and thought it sounded kind of tame/lame. I have no interest in furious levels of distortion but this one just sounded a bit limp.

the brassmaster feeds both my ashdown and kemper.....the ashdown get brass master into swollen pickle, the kemper is getting the brassmaster into curmudgeon aswell as my Phantom coil from holy island in the loop

the brassmaster was starring at me from my shelf…….and I put the curmudgeon back on after fixing it and yeh I changed the led……

Just a joke, shirley

I've always assumed that 'isolated' PSUs still have a common ground and it's just that each output is a separate regulator fed from the same supply. Mine seems to do a good job of preventing crosstalk from heavy duty digital effects.

I have found that some LED lighting can introduce various unexpected hum behaviours.
