  1. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1486914781' post='3235472'] My flippant answer would be anyone who had roadies. In real terms I`ve not seen anyone do this, but then aside from big bands with big stages I think it would possibly be overkill, and I mean more for the amount of gear required than the sound obtained. [/quote] My main rig has always done it - albeit starting with 2 amp heads and 2 cabs with different FX per rig. And sometimes with 2 outputs from the bass too. It was 2 amp heads, then it was 2 preamps and 1 stereo power amp, then it was 2 preamps that could split the signal each, so 4 preamp signals mixed into two pairs and then a stereo power amp. Now I can do all that in my Line 6 Helix - actually to the point of having two 1/4 output feeding bass cabs with different EQs and FX, but also have two XLR with different EQ going to the PA with different IRs on it. I like to remind guitarists that you build upwards from the basement!
  2. I might have to make a trip. Everytime I go I end up spending money!
  3. I've got one of these ordered https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019CQX7CK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Rockboard (Warwick) power supply. Much like the Volto but a load cheaper. Should reach me next week - I'll let you know if it is any good!
  4. I've got a countryman with upgraded strings. It's excellent.
  5. Available to order on Thomann.de £325.85 I'm out.
  6. Line 6 Helix Amazing machine. And this month there is a massive bass specific firmware update coming.
  7. What is the neck shape like compared to the ABZ and Combustion? I see adverts saying 'new fast shape' type things, but without an explanation of the shape. I've owned an ABZ and quite liked it, but if the neck was a little slimmer front to back then the NG2 might have to go on my list.
  8. The guitar demos are brilliant. If it can double with bass then I am mightily interested
  9. Fantastic! Can't wait for the update to be available!
  10. Why put the same thing on 4 different threads?
  11. Big band & swing & orchestral at the mo. Quite a surprise after 20 years of metal!
  12. Rather than start another compressor thread... I'm loving my Darkglass, but I could do with a good comp that runs on battery for when I can't get extra power cables and stuff. Obviously there is the MXR Bass Comp, but is there anything else that is really good quality? Ideally not a Ross circuit one.
  13. Just spotted the new 4 way footswitch in thomann - £143 I don't need one, but I thought I'd mention it.
  14. The aux in on the back of the Helix can be configured to be a 2nd input. Very useful for teaching too.
  15. Going to over £300 then when Vat gets added. For most pedals I have a mental block at £200. Darkglass are the only brand I've broken that for. I'm not breaking £300 for anyone.
  16. £84 for a bag? That's stupid. It fits in a Gator or even a laptop bag.
  17. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1485352039' post='3223315'] [center][/center] [/quote] Still would.
  18. It's still almost £100 more than what I paid for the VMTD. Still, when we are out of the Single Market it can only get better....
  19. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1485377619' post='3223562'] $360, someone has posted on the FB group. Not sure if this is based on anything concrete. Going off current B7K/B7U prices, that will stick it at £325 here. [/quote] Dollar price doesn't have Vat on it! 360 USD is £284 + 20% = £340 Either way, I'm out. I not paying that for a drive pedal.
  20. That's true enough.
  21. I love it. I got a quote. $4500 Plus shipping, import duty and Vat of course.
  22. The B7K Ultra is about £375 already. Apparently the Alpha will be in between the B7K and the B7K Ultra.
  23. Prices have gone up by loads due to the pound crash. I got my VMTD for about £220, now they are £260 or more. I bet the Alpha will be £300-£325. If they are, then I won't buy one new.
  24. There is no other forum!
