Ive made a few posts about the GP-5 in the Zoom MS60B+ thread, but thought it better to post this here. Im over the moon with the GP-5. Just had my first rehearsal with it and the idea was to run it as a single FX after my EBS Microbass3, mainly as a drive or Chorus or Phaser. This worked perfectly. Ive got a Chocolate Plus arriving tomorrow so still not getting the best out of it, but the dial on the pedal was enough to give me quick patch changes on a per song basis, and the footswitch worked fine as an on/off for the effect in use. I was going through a combo at first, but then I plugged in to the PA and also used a NAM of the Ampeg SGT-DI. Sounded great and although its not as adjustable as a proper sim, it really didnt need it to be. I find the app really easy to use, although a huge grin on the battery if left running in the background. I really wasn't bothered about NAM's, but after finding a few that I really like, inc the Way Huge Pork & Pickle, im really enjoying trying all these out. Very time consuming and a huge rabbit hole that I could do without. I cant say if these recreations are accurate, I doubt they are, but I think they sound more natural and open compared to the MS60B+, albeit with less control.

Imagine gettin' pumped £2k for a partscaster...

I just use a zoom b2

I've asked a DJ mate who i think plays in the Garage and waiting for him to get back to me. I'll let you know ASAP Dave

I've just realised that somehow I've ended up with three Kay basses. One infinitely inferior to these, one of these and one infinitely superior to these. I don't half own some shite! 😂

That is so nice dude!

The yellow one is £151 at the moment, a lot of bass for that money!

Search for the brochure, it may be here. Shows lots of details of the models.

I'll take a few pix and post 'em up!

If a guitarist is playing with a capo at fret 3, a C turns into an Eb and an Em into a Gm. When I'm reading the chords over someone's shoulder because I not only don't know the song, I've never ever heard it in my life before, transposing on the fly for someone with my level of musical knowledge is rather difficult - not impossible when it's a few bars of one chord and a few bars of another, but when there's a rapid sequence of chords it all goes to pot. Not so hard when (to take two examples from yesterday) I'm thoroughly familiar with the song and just need to move my hand position, or when it's capo 1 or 2.

For many reasons, yes. I also find smugness, paper thin faux 'man of the people' schtick and rich people being hypocrites irritating. But they are all rational, so they don't belong here.

Off the hook - Rolling Stones

Probably. Sorry the reason most people are either being vague or just recommending what they use is that we don't really have the information we need to properly answer your question. What's the situation? Band? Type of music? Volume requirements? Will this be going in to a pa (yours or supplied?) or backline? Do you also need some way of hearing yourself? Etc etc etc. Really the only thing you actually need is a DI box or something with an XLR output, and even that isn't actually necessary. Nothing to stop you just taking a normal guitar cable and plugging the bass straight into the mixer.

It could also be stolen goods ... 🤨
