So, I may have just wondered over to Bass Direct online. Been wanting another 4 string super light for a while different to my current TT SL for a bit of variety…got the royal approval then this just happened below (under 6lbs)…Monday hopefully! Probably sell my 5 string SL TT - don't want to but I really don't use it…and someone out there will need that beauty.

Should I Stay or Should I Go - The Clash

I guess I use mine as an instrument/ keyboard and I see it as an interface in a signal loop in the middle of whatever software holds the sounds.

Current writing/rehearsal board. The Blackhole replaced the Walrus Lore, and has changed the way i play ambient. Just waiting on a Russian Bif Muff to replace the R.Attack for that warm fuzzy drive.

Not that being first is a win in this thread, but my post above is a confession. Money has changed hands. A bass is travelling across the sea.

OK - first trial of the Swiff WX520s today. Two negatives: 1) When you turn them on there is a distinct, albeit quiet, white noise hum 2) They need to be line of sight. I had a quick walk round and as soon as there was something between me and the transmitter the signal dropped out But on the the positives they are a really neat, compact, design, they definitely work, and as soon as a signal comes through you forget about the hum. I also didn't realise they accept balanced xlr, 6.35mm mono or stereo, AND 3.5mm stereo - giving all the options. You can also switch between +4dBu or -10dBV or instrument level, the latter triggering a gain control for amp free practice. Finally the transmitter is also rechargable so you don't need to plug it in either. All in all I think I forgive the two negatives as for £150 its a pretty good package.

Cheers Mark, I hope you enjoy it!

I've been a Thunder fan since their first album. I'm looking forward to giving this a play when I've the time. Mark

Definitely not even a peripheral part of the signal chain 😁 Failure averted 🙏

It controls patches on my Line6 M5 multi effects, although it can do lots of other stuff too. Basically it controls things that are in the signal path.

Thanks

Just report the posts. The mods are quick to remove them.

I am finding it more and more uncomfortable to deal with posters who, despite the fact that this is supposed to be a bass site, feel the need to bring their extremist policies into the conversation. Is this something we want to continue?

Bass Guitar you are using? if you honk up the tone knob or treble boost does “hiss” occur when you take your fingers off the instrument?
