All Activity

How did you guess that a Mazzer would be my choice if I won the Lottery? No common-as-muck Ferraris here thank you!

Honestly, I get the product and what they wanted to achieve. For me, the EQ on most pedals isn’t what it needs to be for a working bass player. As for the price, if the pedal does what it claims to do and the quality is top notch, it’s not out of this world. in my opinion, if you feel the need for something like that, makes a lot of sense but if it’s not your case can be difficult. Just for curiosity, in the opinion of the people that finds it too expensive, what would be a fair price for this?

Everything I Don't Like Is Rubbish, And That's A FACT.

You say that, but thanks to my 16 quid I bet you turn up at the next bash in a Maserati.

I think their rep had shown them some the range, but don't think they actually stock them - yet.

Don't worry folks, we're not going to do a runner with the money 🙂

I like it too, it has razzmatazz.

Gentlemen, can we not just agree that ALL music is terrible as are those that play ANY instrument?

Come on folks, get that dosh rolling in. It's in all our interests!

The Hipshot website, I think, has fully dimensioned drawings so you should be able to check. I suspect they would have the same problem with the swing of the lever

Couldn’t help myself! All I can say at this point is, it’s a ‘weighty’ pedal, all pots turn with a reassuring smoothness, feels well made, not cheap, even though it is when compared to the original

This has to be a mistake1! I'd email Alex , explain what they've done and ask them to send you a cab that matches your current cab. IMO it's reasonable to expect newer models to match older models, unless they've highlighted any changes.

What a bizarre decision! Is this reflected on the website/store in the description? Is it due to them making the active versions? I'd ask them for one like your old one, if possible, or sadly a refund.

@Bass Direct I've recently been looking for some lighter tuners to replace the heavy CBS era Fender ones seen on 70s basses and various reissues. I'm not the only person looking for them but looking at alternatives, none of them match the backs but also things like resolites and hipshots have a different shape, smaller clover leaf. Do you know of any? If not do you have the opportunity to feedback to manufacturers/distributors? The existing tuners are among the heaviest available, that plus the chunky neck profiles on a lot of these basses make them particularly prone to dive. It would be great to have an aftermarket solution that kept the look. Anyway thanks for reading!

I gigged an RBX374 for a few years, the one with a pair of Musicman type humbuckers. I thought the range of sounds was fine, and I loved the scalloped thumbrest shape to the top edge of the pickups. Light, comfy and well built.

Damn, I had forgotten all about those. A lot to like - might add one to my hit list for 2027 (aff it this year).
