Big update to QC - mostly in the free devices department. Lots of bass stuff in the update which is nice to see, inlcluding: New SVT Captures New Markbass Captures Aguilar Octamizer Mono Synth More bass cab IRs Big change in the way the captures work too (V2). A bit like the Helix Stadium, these are done in the cloud on a bigger machine and apparently appear to allow the capture of things like compressors(?!). Included in the capture list are the Cali76 (32 captures) and the DarkGlass Super Symmetry (7 captures) https://neuraldsp.com/quad-cortex-updates/coros-3-3-0-and-cortex-control-1-4-0-are-now-available

Those are important considerations and I find the off-axis response is a big deal working live - one reason I find the Shure cardioids easy to work from both sides of the mixing desk is that their off-axis behaviour is relatively consistent with the on-axis. Re the personal choice and learning curve, I've done sound a couple of times at tiny, intimate gigs for a very good 'name' singer who favours the Beta 58. She really knows that mic and uses the proximity effect well. She makes that mic sound expensive! The downside at the desk is that such technique requires better, more transparent compression than the tiny gig rig provides and I have to ride her fader to tame the dynamics - better inbuilt compression is another thing drawing me towards a small digital mixer. The EV mics are intriguing - iirc the Shure dual diaphragm mics like the KSM8 are supposed to have greatly reduced proximity effect, I'd like to try them but they're pretty spend-y!

For me, I need a compact solution, to fit on a desk just 120cm wide. I need a weighted 88-key keyboard too, and the Kawai ES60 was highly rated It also fits on (or over) my desk, as is is just under 130cm wide. The only issue is that the ES-60 has only USB midi and I have already invested a tenner in three 5-pin DIN midi cables . . .

Yamaha BB300 1996. Prices includes postage UK mainland
silverfoxnik replied to richardd's topic in Basses For Sale
Lovely authentic, vintage P-Bass tones from these old Yamaha BBs... But they also have something unique about their tone too. Something in the pick ups/pick up placement perhaps? I had a black one years ago - bought on Basschat of course - and never should have sold it! 🤦 Anyway, moving swiftly on, this one looks like a really nice example, and at a very good price too!

I'm starting to have a slight change in plan. I currently have a Yamaha CK-61 for band stuff and it also sits in my front room for me and the kids to do piano playing.....now i think that something specifically designed as a home piano like the ES-60 is probably better for the home piano stuff (88 weighted keys, better speakers, a bit simpler interface) and something like the Nord Electro 6 73 (or perhaps something cheaper) as a stage piano/organ/EP for playing with the band (vs the CK-61 it has the extra octave and is just generally better sound, keybed, and build quality). I also have an MPC Key 37 for home production stuff - mostly for sampling and drum loops and sequencing more than seriously playing keys and although I'm loving the MPC Key 37, I could actually replace it for my home production stuff via Laptop software and attaching it to one of the keyboards via midi. MPC Key 37 and the CK-61 would sell/parte ex for a total of roughly £1k. ES-60 and Nord Electro 6 73 (or similar) would cost roughly £2k. I kind-of think that is a worthwhile £1k upgrade to home piano, stage piano and home production/midi keyboard.

Nice one (and the ES-60 looks decent).

Anyone got any experience selling a neck?
bassbiscuits replied to Thrillho_12's topic in General Discussion
On the other side of this equation I recently bought a neck for the same reasons listed here - I needed some tuners to replace broken ones on my bass and came to the conclusion this was easier than the hit and miss of buying and trying several sets of unsuitable ones. So yes, there’s definitely a market for necks, especially with tuners attached. -
Mine goes straight into pedal one on my pedalboard (Boss TU-2) without issue. Just to throw a spanner in your spanner, or something

I bought this new in April last year, using it briefly before discovering GR Bass. As such, everything is in mint condition and I still have the original boxes too so shipping is an option. This is an incredibly versatile amp, so much so that I couldn't possibly run through everything it can do here. There are lots of video reviews worth watching, but I am going to guide you to our very own Dood's review here, which gives a good deep dive into the amp. Boss Katana 500 Bass Head (£734) Boss BT-DUAL Bluetooth adapter (£45), so you can adjust settings on the fly via the app Boss GA-FC pedal (£99)l, again, for ease of switching in a live setup Boss VE-22 Vocal Processor Bag (£74), a perfect fit for the amp, power lead and a couple of speaker cables I’ve added some pictures taken today but forgot to add proof of ownership. Hopefully folks will know I am a stand up guy on here and save me the effort of retaking the pictures.

My two pennies worth? I don’t think situations like this ever end well. Doesn’t sound like the kind of relationships you need to sustain a solid, working band. If A isn’t much good anyway, then it’s probably less about B’s ability and more of a power thing against B. Again a fairly rubbish way to behave to anyone you’ve got a meaningful friendship or working relationship with. If there are other members of the band you like working with I’d be tempted to have a word with them about you leaving and taking them with you. Unless this is some very successful money spinner of a band where putting up with a temperamental band member is the price to pay for the financial security etc, then I don’t think I could be bothered to unpick it. I’d be looking for something else.
