Here you go. Follow it EXACTLY - apart from that you don't need to back it up if you've never used it before. https://line6.com/support/page/kb/effects-controllers/helix/helixhx-280-release-notes-r913/

Maybe. Just with pretty much zero interest in bassists.

Make sure it's got the latest firmware on it. You miss the new toys otherwise

They don't seem to pay much attention to bass though.

Ooo! Just got an email. My new Marcus Limited (yes - the red and gold one!) should be here tomorrow!

Global Settings have been completely reset and changed in the 2.8 update - so check them. Also - make sure the idiot on the board has the phantom power switched off!

Full. The extra connections are awesome for recording and it also has a mic pre so you can run vocals through it as well. It's also built better. Scribble strips are one of those things that you don't need... until you'e tried it and then wonder why everything doesn't have them.

I don't care what my amp looks like. I don't even care what my bass looks like. Of course I realise that if I turn up to a big band gig with a BassLab instrument I'm unlikely to get the gig, but if that instrument makes me play best then the band either puts up with it or gets someone else. And I'd have a Caterham or an Ariel Atom over a Ferrari any day of the week.

Never been fired, but I quit several. For some I tried to find something new quite quickly, for others I had some time off. Depending on what the reason for quitting was.

Met Johann entirely too early this morning when he collected my Boss Katana 😂 And I got to play his 63 strat. Which was nice! Good to meet you. Hope you got to the next gig in time.

Billy Sheehan. Until I found out about him I was unaware of such an approach on the bass. Really opened my eyes and made me practice like a demon, but also remembering that for 90% he played a solid and well composed supporting part. He made me realise what the bass was capable of. And although these days I’m playing in a big band and not rock I try to have to old attitude that, yes. The bass can play that other part as well if needed.

Nobody wants firsts dibs on my incoming Marcus Limited then 😂?

The patch notes say the error message is expected

I ignored the new presets. I might have a look at some point but generally the first thing I do is clear them out anyway.

The SVT4 Pro model is very good indeed. The Ampeg Scrambler and the Sansamp are just like they are in real life - absolute shite. Remarkably accurate!

Some you can. Others you can't and you'll get distortion of a lack of headroom. If it's a valve pedal I doubt it very much. May even damage it.

I'd like to hear the amp with a P bass too. Just for curiosity really.

Should be next week!

I quite like that!

You are quite right! But they've increased the Low Mid to 400? That's higher than the LM. I like control at the 180-250 area.

They've gone back to the original silly EQ centres for this model then. Should have adopted the Little Marcus ones for everything. Although I have to say the new Stu Hamm head looks pretty cool.

Yup - but others don't Marshall don't give anything for free - but their tour support is amazing.

ha! Although I managed to buy a brand new, unfitted set of Lollar Blackface strat pickups for about £65 (RRP is about £280) because they had been badly described!
