  1. Nope. For me - Weight & balance, then sound. Looks come dead last. Yes I would play a Basslab instrument in a Big Band!
  2. If you can't do it in the Helix then you are doing it wrong.
  3. I had a similar buzz on a ray. turned out to be a saddle spring just nudging up to the string itelf. Took me ages to find it. Spinning the spring round sorted it out, but I still stick a little foam there now. Doesn't get in the way.
  4. I read somewhere that most Fender custom shop stuff is ordered with relicing. Sandberg still make loads. But anyway - it's just another finish. It amuses me to see so many people with their knickers in a twist over it. When you look at a bass catalogue you might well just go past the sunburst, or the neon yellow to get to the ones you like. Why does relicing make you stop and need to whinge? It's bizarre. (I've copied this comment so I can use it next week on the next relic thread)
  5. This is for a big band gig. Can't be arsed to take my rack for that! Bass, tuner, compressor, amp. and now an Octave. Although I had forgotten the BSW does a great octave. I'll have to dig that out. Only downside is that it eats batteries and for this I want to keep a battery powered board.
  6. I've got a MXR BOD and it definitely doesn't track as well as say a microPog. But the MP sounds more artificial.

  8. EBMM will want the serial numbers and stuff. They don't like their kit being installed on other basses or bitsas. Saying that - if you can convince them to let you have the new lightweight bridge from the specials (if the screw holes line up) you could save a bit of weight at the same time.
  9. I ran a dual amp rig for about 10 years. I loved it. Then I got old and didn't want to lug about a pair of VBC412 cabs. And now I can do it all in my Helix.
  10. Without me having to read a dozen pages.... is there any agreement as what is the best tracking octave pedal?
  11. Nut is 41.3mm. The 44.5mm is for the 5 string
  12. Nice video! I really must get round to trying a Super P or J at some point. Never heard a bad demo of either.
  13. When I read the title I assumed you had found a page that detailed all the different dimensions of various Fender basses. I was looking forward to nerding out on that. As you were.
  14. Anyone seen the Active Flea out in the wild yet? Im really drawn to it!

    Larry bought my Bass uke. Easy transaction, even if we were both sitting at the same train station waiting for the other to arrive! Good to meet you.
  16. That’s gorgeous!
  17. I’d be surprised if there’s enough margin in them to drop the price by anywhere near a grand.
  18. Sold and gone.
