    Nice. I'd be interested to know if that bridge setup is correct.

    Late to the thread but interesting reading here. I previously owned a 63 500/1 many many years ago and recently bought a Harley Benton Beatbass VS to experiment with. I can tell you that it's Chinese, it has a hollow body with a block underneath the bridge, though it doesn't span the whole width so the bridge feet are still in open air, floating on the facing so to speak, and a small block right at the end which the string anchor and strap button is screwed to. The string spacing is 15mm, the nut width is 42mm. Once the upper strap button is repositioned to the neck heel like a later Hofner, it balances pretty well considering the string tuners are normal size. I have been looking for a short/medium scale true hollow archtop body 5 string bass with a floating bridge in a price range I could afford but to no avail. So anyway, this used HB turned up for sale locally for about half the new price last year. The experiment was to see if I could convert it to 5 string. I went a bit further than originally planned... It's now a 5 string fretless with three 4-wire humbucking pickups and a piezo bridge. The pickups are wired like a Strat i.e 5 way switch and two tone controls, the piezo has a tone control and it has a master vol and pup/piezo blend control. Because of the string anchor arrangement, it uses standard long scale strings (can't find short scale 5 string sets for sale) String spacing is now just a tad over 11mm (slightly more between B and E strings) and sounds and plays superbly. I still have a couple of things to do to it, like the Gilmour mod so I can add the bridge pup to the neck pup. It sounds like my old Hofner with the addition of a more double bassy sound from the piezo.

    ...would inviting a youtuber or two be too much? Someone like Danny Sapko would be an interesting addition, and Andertons is very close...

    Apologies if this has been answered before, it's difficult to dig up answers in this thread due to the size. Planning to get a Morningstar controller of some kind (MC3 or 6) to help navigate through patches, etc. I'm running firmware v3.6 on the OG model. I'd like to program the MIDI controller to select specific patches via 'Program Change'. I'm new to MIDI controllers, I get the concept of sending a CC value to change banks (CC90 and CC91 respectively for the F.I.) but I'm not sure how to approach the first few options that have names rather than CC values. The user interface for the Morningstar seems to have a box where you type the CC value, would you simply type the CC name here instead? Thanks!

    Nice, but afraid that just looks like a worse ME-90B to me 🤪 Bass VT DI or Origin Effects definitely still top of the tree. The OE stuff is not cheap though, eh...

    Just make sure you don't end up like I did. I quit my band after 12 years... Now I have a Telecaster and a guitar amp. I feel dirty.
  11. fretmeister
    Thank you. I will flip a coin as to which to try first then!

    Tracking on their latest release is very disappointing from online reviews.
  13. franzbassist
    As they have round cores I would say there's a bit mellower than the D'Ads. Watch this video, from 1:56 to 2:42 and then again from 6:49 to 7:35, which might help.

    I picked this up from @Basilpea not that long ago. It's a great cab, but it isn't a cosmetic match to my other AT210, so being the fickle person I am I want to replace this... It's got some small dents from being gigged, but overall in good condition and absurdly light. You can pick it up with two fingers! It's also very loud. W52 x D33,5 x H57 cm 600 watts at 4 ohms 103dB SPL Also comes with GR Bass soft padded cover. GR say: The lightest 2×10 bass cabinet in the world. Thanks to its size, lightness, and power, the AT 210 is one of the most versatile cabinets in the entire catalog. Suitable for both small and large live shows, it allows you to always have your sound with you. With the AeroTech line, you can have the incredible innovation of our Carbon Fibre cabinets combined with the Pure Sound of GR, which is the pure sound of your instrument. Incredible sound, lightweight, power, impact resistance, and a beautiful modern design. I'm afraid this is collection only, as I don't have anything suitable to ship it in. No trades either thanks. I'm using @Basilpea's pictures, which I hope he's okay with.

    This amp is now £400 on Amazon. Incredible. I will drop the price for the amp, adapter, pedalboard and case to £500, which is still a good deal I think, but I really cannot go any lower. If it doesn't sell at this price I will just keep it as a spare.

    Price drop to £275

    Can we go back to the first statement in the thread. Please justify four basses to yourself otherwise many of us are in deep trouble…..

    Happened to me on the Fender Jazz 5 string I had and it was fitted with Shaller strap locks! The strap lock nut came unscrewed, bass hit the ground take a chunk of paint off and also knocked the lap top flying I was reading from (it wasn’t my regular band).
  20. Happy Jack
    I've been asked for dimensions on this amp: W = 21" D = 9.75" H = 9.25" (+ handle)

    On hold 👍

    Was that always a natural finish? It looks like a 'Ray I had modded in the 90s but mine was a translucent red 2 band, side jack added when the J pup was installed. Considering how often I look online at basses, it kind of surprises me that I've never seen it again. Great bass t'was...

    Hey @krispn, I bought a couple of these LBA 2020s a while back to do something similar, but still haven't had a chance to build a new pedalboard (sadly no gigs atm, only a few remote sessions). How do these x2 LBA 2020s sound, and is it noticeable enough? Cheers!

    Doesn’t Enzo do some arp stuff?
  26. Kiwi
    No the C4 doesn't provide it as a feature and I reached out to suggest it to them. As QM says, it can be triggered from MIDI but so can the FI AFAIK. The SA dev team discussed an arp and thought it was a good idea but the pedal didn't have room for the code, so it's been relegated into development hell I guess. I'm half tempted to reach out to Mooer over here and see if their dev team might like to have a go at it.
  27. Quatschmacher
    It’s always been possible to arpeggiate and sequence the FI via MIDI, which could be done with free software via phone/tablet/laptop/MIDI controller.

    I actually have a Police gig end of next week, so it'll get a good thrashing then
  29. Quatschmacher
    Yes, an FM synth is on the road map for one of the two remaining partitions. The other partition could be more effects or a sample-based engine.
