  1. Anyone? might be interested in a decent jazz 5er….
  2. Wonderful piece of kit. Great sounds and a pleasure to use. Downsizing but may well end up with another one in the future, you know how it goes. Minor marks from usage but well cared for and in excellent condition. Protection racket softcase as shown. Latest firmware. I may have the original box - tbc on that. Any questions let me know - cheers x
  3. phew, dodged a financial bullet there! glwts though - thing of beauty for sure
  4. The C string gives you some great options, but options which take you outside of the core role of the bass. You could argue the same is true of the B string, personally though I think the B gives a more logical extension of the bass role as it adds the additional 5 bass notes whereas the C adds 5 additional notes above the regular range of a 4 string These are not notes that most of us would use often which means the C essentially opens the range of the bass 'horizontally' for lines and voicings (as does the B of course). Nothing invalid there but you could reasonably argue that this is not the regular function of bass in music (I mean any bass as opposed to the job of the bass guitar). There is of course a physical dimension to all of this too. Wide necks and longer scale lengths can be more challenging to get around - 4 string regular scale is generally easier and more comfortable. Bottom line for me - I love the options the high C gives and I'd like to think I can integrate it reasonably well into the music I'm playing. If I asked them which bass to use though, the majority of musos that I play with would say 'just bring the normal one' meaning a 4 string P or J. I suspect if they would also say 'with flats on' if they knew what flats were.
  5. I have a crush on this Electronics wise is it vol/tone and pickup selector?
  6. very nice, not seen these before I reckon that's about 90% of the majority of most people's preamp needs! glwts
  7. I’ve just watched a movie Extraction 2 on Netflix. This is the bass rig equivalent of that film.
  8. So this is a very interesting thing, I'm going to nick Gareth's listing right now but will add photos etc if required. Everything is unchanged: I say interesting as everything is here in one place: FX Amp sims Midi mapping and utilities Sound generators/software modules I've been running this as a live pedal board but have also been playing keys and synth bass from the MOD using a keyboard controller. It is quite amazing how much utility is packed in here. Plus it acts as a USB host as well as client so you can run additional devices and bluetooth dongles from it. I was also running the Moog Model D app from an Ipad, controlled by keyboard, routed though the MOD and sent to the iPad via midi bluetooth. All works. Honestly, yes, it all works. And it doesn't sound rubbish, it sounds really good. I'll explain why I'm selling it - otherwise it sounds like the above is just a sales pitch: I've used helix for years and I've struggled to step away from it. the Dwarf covers a lot of what the helix does, but not all. And some of the sounds I need are not available on the Dwarf. At least not yet The dwarf controls can be configured however you like, but there are not that many of them. Viewing parameters and settings is achieved via the MOD browser so you need an iPad or similar. This is where I struggled live - with any kind of complex set up it's difficult to see what's going on and the response time on the browser when changing boards (read presets) is too long - only a few seconds but that's too much live My conclusions from the experience are great piece of kit - gamechanger and really future facing more suited to home use rather than live gigs (at least what I need on live gigs) Other point of note - quality is brill. Built like a tank and great feel to all the controls etc. Comes in a nice case (as per photos) too. Finally in the interests of full disclosure it was very noisy when I got it. Long story short the issue was the MOD PSU, I replaced it and all ok. I've used some of the vouchers mentioned in the original post. Let me know if any questions gang. Love ya x
  9. very nice wallet twitching but the neck is a bit wide for me (thankfully)
  10. Quite likely the best filter out there glwts
  11. Not sure I need this but what a fab idea glwts
  12. Bought a yammy rbx from david, great bass, a1, great coms top seller 👍 x
  13. I’m not surprised it’s heavy with those two spectors in it! great double bag though bargain!
  14. Yeah, seen this man. It is up my street. Right up. sadly I’ve realised that street leads nowhere!
  15. Talk to me!! joking aside I had a number of zoids down the years, great basses and I miss them all (especially the vm 6 string 33 if anyone out there has it!) This looks like a corker esp with the duncan electrics…. glwts
