Line 6 have excellent customer service. Put in a support ticket and maybe also mention it on the massive Facebook Helix group and they'll get it sorted out fast.

Certainly looks like mine 🙂

Doh! Just realised it says only available on my device.

First one in general. The second one might be amazing when sitting but crap when standing and so on. It might be comfy for a fewer amount of people.

This is an ace thread! I'm in an originals band called Fred The Fool - it's folk(ish) pop/rock. The name's from a silly old Lincolnshire folk story - our frontman's an archaeologist and a lot of the songs draw from local history around Lincoln. The line-up is: lead vocals/acoustic guitar, piano/accordian, mandolin/acoustic guitar, drums/percussion, bass/upright (me!) We've spent the last year and half forming and recording about 12 songs, which are in various stages of production now. Some of them feature cool musicians - Graham Rorie from Gnoss plays some really nice fiddle on a few of our tracks - amazing how many folk are just an Instagram DM away! Currently working on our live set for an album launch gig in February 2026. The plan's to record/film that too, circulate it with some promoters we know and see what happens? We did our first little gig the other week and it went pretty well - we've really just been focused on recording and producing the songs, so it was a fun challenge to try them out live!

Thanks!!!!

Nice pic Mickey! Do you have any video clips of this 5 piece in action?

Yeah it saves having to leave space to insert a headphone jack or a lead if you are using it as an output.

Line6 POD Express Bass I have recently purchased one of these and have found that any saved setting I make disappears after a day or two. Andertons only say to do a firmware update or a factory reset (which is their answer to everything) but neither worked. Has anyone else had this issue? Not a fan of pedals, but bought to cover a particular track and for general messing around. It has potential but not if it is unreliable or unstable.

A Angled headphone adapter is an excellent idea!

Top left is my IEM transmitter. The DiCosimo and Broughton are always on effects. I could use the Stomp HP/LPF (and have done in the past) but the Broughton resonant bump is easier to achieve with the pedal. The DiCosimo is an easy EQ/boost solution to save going into the Stomp.

Liking the Entropia sounds...

My latest pedal ... is not a pedal at all. I just took delivery of an early Christmas present to myself: an Elektron Tonverk. This is a sample-based workstation / groovebox / effects system, and the effects are most relevant here. You can feed a live audio signal through it, via analogue inputs or USB-C, and apply loads of effects to it. The effects are under full sequencer control, not only in the choice of effect per pattern, but also all the parameters, which can be modified down to the note if that's what you want. The effects aren't specific to any instrument but are pretty powerful, and include the expected (compressor, EQs (graphic, synth-style or parametric), modulation effects) and some odd ones (grain-based pitch shifting, "dirtshaper" overdrive/distortion, and some complex delays and reverbs. I'm still at work (?) and don't have any other gear here, so a full test will have to wait until the weekend.

'Tis the season... Vulfpeck - 'Christmas in L.A.' bass transcription A student brought a transcription they'd found online to a lesson, and the beaming was so wonky that it made reading the thing 10x harder than it needed to be, so I did my own chart. Some nice harmony in here, too.

Damn! Sorry..😱 The feel is great (you would obviously have to set up to your style/standard) and I would describe the ‘general tone’ (sorry) as very versatile with the two pickups with lots of tones to be found and used. I have a headed ‘travel’ sized jazz bass from ACG that’s 32” that I use abroad (and sometimes in the UK) when I can’t travel with my main basses. My standard is 35” but I had a go on another ACG 32” bass and that convinced me that it would/could work for my pro gigs. At first it just had the rear pickup but because of the range of music I was doing with it, I had Alan install the neck pickup and that really opened the range of tonal possibilities. What you’re looking at is a pro instrument that well made, easy to play and carry with the reach of a reduced scale (for me as I also play double bass and 35” fretless). Worth a trip/try if you’re really interested. (Or the cost of couriers which, if you agree on a return policy, is justified, I think). Again…..hope this is helpful🤞🏽🏆

I think you are confusing me with somebody who has an inkling about what he is doing. Honoured that I am mentioned in the same sentence as real luthiers and semi-pro hobbyists, but these people know what they are talking about whereas I am merely one page away from disaster on each build. I am in awe of some of the builds on this site. No sarcasm, no irony, no snide comments from me, there are fabulous designers and builders here and I would love to have 1% of their talent. Thanks Rob

Now that is cool!
