wintoid started following New MXR bass synth pedal released
-
I got one from Peach, arrived today. Honestly, just a little bit disappointed. Maybe I didn't get the settings right but it seems like I will have to change my technique a reasonable amount to use this thing. It feels turgid and sluggish. I did switch it to 4-string tracking. Are people plugging straight into it, or are you using compressors and so on first? I've just plugged my P bass straight into it.

I've sold a few redundant bits of kit recently and taken a punt on this. It arrived yesterday, 4hrs later into rehearsal. Sounds great on the presets so far. Guitarists reacted positively...
-
Not unreasonable, maybe out of touch. Yours makes perfect sense, but that is not the new way, or the common sense of others who may see the Buy two and send one back to be the new normal - but check the returns policy, might be liable for return postage. Epi SG EB0 Case or Bag?

Possible arthritis in my fingers - any help or experience?
Lozz196 replied to jonnybass's topic in General Discussion
I’ve developed arthritis in the top joint in my left thumb over the last year or so and similarly a change in my fretting hand technique has really helped. -

I use mono cases with multiple Sandbergs, fit perfectly and unless you specifically need a flight case are more than protective enough for touring.

Thanks for the Feedback, it's good to hear your views which have helped me get over my intitial irritation. If I'm going to spend a good sum of money on a bag/case then I think I'll go for the Gibson shaped case for both sturdy protection and good fit. Looks like I'll be buying direct from Gibson as I can't find a pre owned in this Internet!!!. Cheers Charla

So cheeky to use that “R” - it’s *exactly* the same as the Rikkers guitars guys - based in the Netherlands. looks like a lovely bass, saw it over on FB.

When I saw the title I thought you had bought an old VHS cassette player... 🤦🏻

A couple for a Friday, first up is one we all know and always good to hear and on a heavier level Hopeton Junior, quite a dub mix at 3.10, love this
-
Thanks both, yes I had some fun fitting a drop tuner which was supposed to be a drop in on my P bass.... I sorted it all out but a bit of a pain @pst62 - I'll let you know soon - got to pay a builder /decorator first!

TC Electronic Spectradrive preamp & DI with Spectracomp compressor (with toneprint function so you can select from 40+ different settings such as Nathan East, Ida Neilsen ones etc) and Tubedrive dirt channel which again is toneprint enabled and has everything from clean boost to fuzz and many many extremely useable types of dirt available. Fantastically musical 4B EQ as well, it’s honestly a vastly underrated pedal. I’ll assume you’ve done/will do your own research on the pedal and so won’t list all the reasons it’s better than most of the preamp pedals that cost twice-three times as much, but once you get into the guts of what it actually does you’ll wonder how this stayed off your radar. I’ve gone the hx stomp route, and for now I’m just running that and a DI so I’m selling the last of my bits off as I have a holiday coming up! Comes in original box with power supply & instructions, as new condition - very sturdy and nice looking pedal that barely has a mark. Runs on normal 9v pedalboard power supply Like my other bits I’d rather get them shifted and give other basschatters a deal than have them sitting here for weeks, so fill your boots and all that 😁 Priced to sell very reasonably: £110 posted (UK RM Tracked) VIDEO DEMO 👇

Maybe it is maybe it isn't. You're using a subjective term though when you say better.Play a bunch of USA basses and Squier ones and you'll know for definite. The ultimate test would be a blindfold one. We go to Sainsbury's and see McVities Digestive Biscuits and we see the Sainsbury's own brand version. Guess which one most people will assume is superior before even sampling either packet? Well McVities make both despite the lower price of Sainsbury's "version". Leo used ash and alder based on cheapness and availability. It was not a tonewood choice in the beginning. There's no magic there so if a Squier is poplar bodied for example there is no inherent disadvantage other than what the user places on it based on preconceptions and prior association.

I've got about 30 basses, including Seis, Warwicks, and Ibanezezezes, and in that lot is one modified Squier and no Fenders. And I'm perfectly happy with that mix.
