Just sold my Zoom B6 to Alain. Good communication, quick payment. Just confirms the previous positive feedback

Best was a P bass kit off ebay... been wanting to try a scratch build for ages, but wasn't confident enough to have a first go at finishing and fretwork on something that'd take a lot of effort to replace if I messed it up. Turned out way better than I thought it would.... Worst was running out of excuses not to do the next one from scratch

Anderton’s has the Nano listed for £125, due Jan 2nd they say. Me, I’m not that much of a fuzzaholic to pay that much!

Is it good for metal?

Last gig of the year tomorrow night has been cancelled, but hopefully only postponed, as our guitarist is having health issues. Nothing now until January!

I have been using this as a lubricant on my moulded plugs. Only £1 from Home Bargains. Contains ten times as much and only a tenth of the price of the product that came with mine, Elacin Cream, now Otoferm Cream.

Watched a few of his shorts when they’ve popped up and often find them funny, mentions of the ‘Dipstick lick’ in particular 😂

I've scratched a lot of itches gear wise and ticked off a few things on the bass bucket list this year as well as having a big clear out. It's all been good though. Best of the best was acquiring my LFSYS Silverstone II cab. It really has been a game changer and has shown the way ahead for me, which is lightweight well designed and great sounding cab to use with my collection of class A/B amps. Anything I plug into it sounds great which has unfortunately made it more difficult to rationalise as much as I hoped this year. I still have one or two scratches to itch so I will not be joining the 2026 gear abstinence thread🙄. Worst of the best goes to a used bass I bought in a car park meet-up on the south side of Glasgow. The bass in question was a Harley Benton JB62L Jaco Pastorius kind of thing. Actually it was mint, the fit and finish, the build quality, the playability, and the sound were all astoundingly good, I'd even say excellent. That I paid half its retail value for such a well put together instrument is mind boggling. It really has no right to be so good for so little even at full retail cost. The only reason I will place this as the worst of the best is its weight. 5.4kg is unfortunately not very giggable for me although its fine sitting down to play it. No idea what the body is made of ( cast iron?) but its a proper slab of something very dense.

Just relieved Jacek of the burden of ownership of his Zoom B6 unit. Lovely guy to deal with, excellent comms and the item was well packed and exactly as described. Many thanks for such a smooth tranaction.

Although it wasn’t anything like the title suggested, I still found it pretty good, episode 3 with Nate Mendel in particular. Nice to see bass players in big bands acknowledging influences and their peers too. JJ Burnel and his sound getting mentioned a few times, but disappointingly no chat with the man himself. Respect for the late Jack Bruce and John Entwistle was nice too. I guess if we all had to make a list of bass players or the lines that influenced us, no two lists would be the same. Personally I wish they had included Geddy Lee, Sting, Paul McCartney even if just to talk about singing and playing at the same time in more detail, which was only brushed on. With the amount of bass players interviewed on the three shows they could easily have made 8 or 10 shows, but maybe they were cautious about viewing figures for something niche like bass playing, who knows? Here’s hoping we get some more episodes in future to dissect and disagree about.

It does sound like a fit issue to me. Maybe at the next one walk away as far as you can and see if the sound changes. Yes, with MS you can open it in personal mixer mode, you just select which buss you want to control, or can chose your Aux feed on the home screen and get the same result. Id also recommend an app called MX-Bus. This is designed just for using with monitor/IEM mixes, and doesnt get you to the main FOH screen. a bit easier to use on the flay IME.

Thanks for this, bit to think about there. The issue I've had is more a very boomy sound, and the last gig that combined with overly bright treble. Do you know if there's individual mix control with that app? None of the others seem to use it, but a quick Google suggests that might be a thing.

Mine weighs at 3.67kgs. No neck dive too.

It's 2025 and I just picked up one of these today! ☺️

If the copper cable is tinned, it will become brittle compared to flexible pure copper. Therefore it can become loose under the screw, not because the screw gets loose.

The nano-sized ones are now on the EHX website for $122 USD. Wonder when we'll be able to get our hands on them. I've wanted an op-amp muff for a little while and this may be the one.
