Man, I had two of those.

Should never have sold them when they were deeply unpopular!

I love mine on guitar - into a very good Marshall capture on a Tonex.

Not tried it on bass yet.

I don't get the price increases either - the renamed one is identical and everybody knows it's a clone anyway. It's not like the pedal itself - or any of the other cheap clones - have been discontinued.

£289 at Bass Direct - but they've already sold out the few they had.

Sounds ace, and with more controls on the front there should be far less faff with secondary functions / apps etc compared to SA pedals.

I'm still thinking about some of these.

For those that have them - how are you getting on now that they have played in a bit?

The Mark Bass Advanced Stainless Steel set are a lovely low tension set. Really easy to play.

Don't know if they are long enough for you, but worth emailing them.

In 35+ years of playing I still haven't tried one.

But they do look lovely.

Congrats!

I missed Alanis....thank goodness for iplayer

She was ace.

Still annoyed with the bassist for not keeping to Flea’s line in “You oughta know.”

Mine arrived today as well!

There were some chancers on ebay trying to sell these at £20,000 - more than a real one!

Naturally I offered £40.

Andertons own comparison video is hilarious

From about £50 all the way up to a real one.

And they all sound the same.

1966 jazz bass in candy apple red. Stays in its case. Won’t take it to gigs, won’t sell it. Took 2 years of saving up to buy it.

 

 

You see, if you played jazz then gigging it would expose it to fewer people than at home.

Job done!

I guess this sort of view is what inspired @Al Krow’s question. I guess there is more chance of damage on a gig, but I tend to play anywhere between 30-90 mins a day at home, so not far off a common gig duration. My preference is to own mint or excellent condition instruments.

I think that normal use damage / wear and tear and the odd accident are unavoidable for just about everything. 

Even for a sitting down jazz performance at some point a music stand is going to get bumped into an instrument, or the player themselves is going to stand up and collide with something.

I gave up worrying about that sort of thing years ago as it was limiting my enjoyment of my instruments.

I do my best to minimise damage of course, but some things are just unavoidable even if just playing at home.

Yes.

No point owning it otherwise.

Insure it properly and gig it.

Haha! 3.7kgs

I’m trying to work out the logistics of this, but currently failing - I’m driving all over the place at the moment for my youngest spawns university placement but nowhere near you.

arse.

Not that I’m thinking about buying yet another bass from you…. But do you know the weight please?

Asking for anyone except my wife…

Lovely!

Fab pedal!

Good demo:

If I had money I'd be buying this!

I couldn’t decide so I didn’t…

You need to put it here:

The clips in that video all show the IMA strings quite a bit louder to the point that I don't think that is just the string output being higher.

Many reviewers do that to make something more impressive.

I wish he had levelled the clips out so volume wouldn't be a factor.

I had it on a Fender Stu Hamm signature model. Was all good.

No response so far concerning the bug in the Hyper Luminal Compressor block. More voices need to be heard, maybe... 

They are probably working through a lot of emails.

Might even take a week to get to yours.

I still want them to put the guts of the current HX Stomp into the case of the POD Go Wireless, so you have a proper, small one-box gigging solution that's more usable than the current HX Stomp and less of a compromise than the current POD Go, and has the built-in expression pedal, wireless system, etc. They could rename it the HX Go.

It could stand to gain an XLR output too, perhaps. 

Doesn't really need an XLR. The jack outputs are balanced already. Electrically identical.

This was posted on another forum but didn't say which store.

"100V; 120V; 230V; 240V – 50/60Hz (tension set inside the equipment)
WARNING: The MARKBASS CASA is manufactured to be used in the country where they have been sold, and it is factory preset to that country’s voltage. So make sure you’re sending the correct voltage to your amp before you connect it to the AC power."

I realise that EU is mostly 230V and the UK is still actually 240V but that the allowable margins are quite wide (about 230 to 250V in the UK) but I wonder if there would be any warranty cover for power related issues.

I'd like to try one - looks very much like the old Hartke HA3500 that Stu used for years.

We are struggling to find a guitarist and if I'm honest it's because of our set, think Tina Turner, Pink, Blondie,Lady Gaga and so on. Most of the guitarists round here are of a certain age and want to play rock from the 70's,80's 90's and so on. This isn't primarily guitar music so not seen as rewarding.

Roughly 15 years ago I was in a band that did all that stuff - the guitarist we had was previously in one of the big military bands and she could sight read like nobody I've ever met before or since. Unless it was Guthrie level she'd just look at the page and it would be perfect first time, and she'd only need 2 or 3 run throughs to memorise it. She was scary!
