Don't feel like you should start using them unless you are genuinely missing something. Sometimes, clean bass just works! Genre of music I play in, clean bass would be a complete no-go if I had any intention of being heard in the mix. It all depends on the context. If you want to dabble though, I'd forget single pedals and go for a cheap multi effects, like you say from Zoom. Flick through and get an idea of what sounds you like, and either stick with it or search out solo pedals to improve on it.

Stunning bass! -

No problem -
So interested in what this sounds like on bass! -
And your board is probably better for it! What is the main reason you were looking to move from the OC-2?
-
Beauty!

Yeah it's the jack to mini xlr type. You don't need the Shure cable, there are a few cable builders who sell suitable ones on Amazon and the like, from one of which I bought a spare. No issues though Not really sure how it would fail really. I guess if you stretch it or mess with it, but my pack is kept in a pocket on my strap, so the plugs are never pulled or stretched in any way.

Been using the Shure GLXD16 for a couple of years now, flawless. Picked it up 2nd hand for a very decent price, but it's worth the new cost. I've been around enough guitarists with failing line 6 models to make me never consider them! The Boss one did tempt me, I can't remember what I read about it that put me off, which isn't very helpful!
-
Torn, to be honest. Nothing too surprising, C4 or FI. Owned both, sold both, now want one back. I blame people like you... -
Nail on the head, and the entire point of this thread

The recently released Boss OC-5. Perfect recreation of the OC-2 tone (with extra volume from the original, a huge improvement!) in vintage mode, and Poly mode brings in a really solid deep polyphonic octave, stable as you like, with a really quite musical octave up. Royal Blood vibes galore. In excellent condition in box with velcro on the bottom, have only owned for a few weeks and decided to go for a synth pedal instead. Very hard to get hold of for some reason at the moment, out of stock everywhere! So good op to grab one. 48h shipping included.

I had a similar experience. Always dreamed of owning a Wal, the perfect tone in my head. Managed to get hold of one, the tone was wonderful...but everything else just didn't work. Neck shape, pickup shape, ergonomics, none of it. Shame, if I'd have hung on to it, i'd have got a few grand more selling it now...
-
What?? Fantastic that you live such a privileged life, but perhaps a £1k or so investment on a bass is a lot of money for some people?
-
Yeah that's what I thought, and presumably (yes, I'm new to this) you would just put the two pedals on different channels and all will work once set up etc?
-
Just for clarity, I use a Boss ES-5 as a midi controller, currently sending midi to a Darkglass ADAM pedal. To use this with the C4, would I need to buy the hub? Would I then connect the Hub USB to the C4, the Hub Midi out to the ADAM, and the Hub Midi In to the ES-5??
-
Intrigued! Broughton always seems to be in high demand, off to Youtube I go! Just for clarity, is this used/2nd hand or a brand new product? -
Who put 50p in this thread??
-
Nice one for going to the effort of recording that. What a bizarre pickup design. To be honest though, I’m not sure this explains the issues away that I’ve heard with the Spectors? The limiter issue would not result in a generally quieter B string, more just quieter on initial attack?
-
It’s all a bit of a farce really. Have Spector issued a press release about the issue? I presume they must have somewhere, as opposed to just letting dealers do the defending? Or perhaps Fishman? Quick message from them confirming it’s a quirk of their pickup design would take the heat off of Spector. Do the 4’s have the issue, or just the 5’s?
-
Awesome pedal! Don't be too hasty on selling it, the head and BK circuit is great but it can't recreate the sounds this beast can, low end like nothing else! GLWTS -
Masterbuilds are rough CNC work and finished by hand. Best of both worlds, and can testify my 2017 Thumb wipes the floor with the eighties and nineties models I’ve had, outstanding build quality.
-
Two stunning opposables!
-
Board rewired and switch programmed for my first band rehearsal since March 2020 tomorrow!
-
In the video @bagsieblue posted in here, it was clear as day, both in what you were hearing and what you were seeing on the compressor meter. Significant volume loss on a string I usually find too loud if anything on my basses. If they coerced someone with what sounds like some level of mental health struggle to take down a video criticising their product...well, that would be a thing, wouldn’t it?!!
-
Seriously?
