  1. Thanks both

     

    I'm suitably comfortable in my own skin to look down this particular rabbit hole I think! Also, by no means set on changing the bass itself, that's just one of the many factors no doubt.

     

    I guess the question is really any recommendations in my neck of the woods? I'm not blessed with lots of free time so extensive travel is a challenge, would be great to find something a little more local. I will check out the bass room you mention Joe

     

    Cheers!

  2. Hello all,

     

    Looking for some advice or input please!

     

    I've been playing double bass for around 25 years now. It's been mainly my second instrument behind bass guitar and for the most part I've played in a jazz context. I started with a Zellor student bass for a few years then 'graduated' to a Bulgarian Kremona bass around 15/20 years ago - I can't remember.

     

    Anyhoo, point is this. I've never really considered my bass, my set up or my gear. Late last year I investigated and spent a little time cleaning my bass up and attempting some basic TLC, the effect was fantastic - a significantly improved sound and playability. No surprise perhaps!

     

    So now I am curious. Might I benefit from checking out different basses, strings or even set up. But where to go in order to do this? I'm based in Norwich, East Anglia.

     

    Thanks!

  3. I'm sorely tempted. The temptation doesn't in and of itself create any friction or other skin irritation etc. So not really sore I suppose - thankfully - but I am tempted.

     

    Agree with everything said here - close to the OC2 in a good way. Great fuzz tones, works great together. Likes passive basses much more than anything else. Octopus orgy. Nothing not to like.

     

    Did you know Octopuses have three hearts btw? Thank you on-line covid triva quiz from a few years ago.

    This is bargainous, although I've always remained untempted by the Helix, this will make someone's yuletide dreams come true 😁

     

     


    it will and it did, but when and for whom?

     

     

  5. Thanks @CalDeep

     

    Yeah - I think the hotone in particular is a great piece of kit. It's really well made, easy to use and there are loads of options to program just how you like. Great utility pedal. I have a second one which I'm still using with my future impact. Pairs a treat with the stomp as you can link extra footswitches or exps through either TRS or midi and the hotone will pass them through as midi output. Solves that issue with the stomp around 'do I use an extra TRS footswitch or a TRS exp pedal'

  6.  

    I have stomps, helixeses, LTs, then I don't, then I do. It's a mystery now what is going on tbh

     

    Anyway I'm back loving the direct signal into my amp and using a few regular pedals in the loop so this is available.

     

    I'm selling as a combo here - the stomp you know about, also including an HX two button switch and an ampero control. The ampero is very impressive - fully programable to send whatever messages you like, you can pass additional switches and exps through as well. All done on your phone with bluetooth - the future is here, today!

     

    If you would like an exp I'll include something basic. Exps are quite personal in my opinion so working on the basis you might already have what you want. The ampero calibrates with any exp. Adding the extra footswitches and piping the HX switch and exp into the stomp via midi gives a really powerful set up in terms of control options. In my head this gear has always been around the config and control options, obvs less processing power that the full fat helix but still a huge amount achievable with the midi switches.

     

    If you want to go up to 400 I'll also include a protection racket stomp case. You won't fit the amepro in there but it will take the stomp, PSU and two button switch.

     

    Also include is the stomp psu, midi cable for ampero, TRS for the switch and I'll see if I can dig up a 9v daisy cable (as the ampero needs 9v power unless connected to PC by USB)

     

    Phew, there you go. Does that make sense?

     

    No trades by the way please and thank you

  7. Pink basses are great btw. Especially good for Punk on the basis that there is only one letter difference

     

    Some nice offers so far, keep em coming!

     

    Btw 1, the bass currently has old rounds on it. Very happy to swap these out for some flats if you prefer. I used it with flats for ages and works really well.

     

    Btw 2, I have a white sparkle pickguard which I can swap out or include if you wish
