I used to. But now I gig with a One10 It's plenty loud enough to get over the clarinets

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464730600' post='3062034'] Commerford is sufficiently high-profile that he could choose any brand he wanted under the same conditions. [/quote] No he couldn't Marshall don't give kit for free. The artists pay for it. They get a lot of support for tours etc thrown in, but they pay for the gear.

I ordered a second One10 the other day. Now I'm feeling inadequate.

I bet that's a bit loud. Surely he can afford some good monitors?

Sandberg VS4 Passive. The Mk1 version, as the Mk2 has a slightly different shape. The necks are all the same across the VS and TT range - very jazz like but with a flatter 'board. Very comfy indeed.

I must get round to trying it on vocals - the L6 forum guys reckon it's very good for that. I imagine a keyboard with any of the new generation modellers would be great fun. Alas I haven't got one to try it!

Glad I picked the Helix then! I run 2 amp blocks in parallel all the time, and on one of them I also have parallel FX too.

I wonder if there is confusion between amps and FX. http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/fractal-ax8-635766 The review says only 1 amp block - I wonder if it's 1 amp at a time, but parallel on FX? Amps need much more DSP than effects.

I play out for about 3 hours per week. The rest of the time I play at home. I love getting new music to try for my own advancement. I think I would be very wary of turning my love of the bass into a job. Bass is my stress relief and it is something I do for me and not other people. Turning my stress release into a job that might cause stress would be err, distressing.

I'm trying to cut down. I keep looking at my ancient Status Energy and wondering if I should move it on. I only ever play 5 strings now, but that old Status and I did years of gigs.

I've given in and ordered a second one.

Thanks chaps.

My main bass doesn't have any on the board face, and the side ones are so tiny that if I haven't got glasses on I can't see them anyway. That's the answer. Poke out your eyes!

I think the AX8 only has one path. No bass friendly split signals.

Do they exist? I've had Snarks and the little Planet Waves thing - but all seem to be awful on the B. Are there any that work?

1: that is lovely. 2: Anyone aged 40 or under who says "now or never" needs beating with their lovely new bass. Smeg I feel old.

Brendan [/quote] That's probably camera frame rate issues. Usually none of them flash unless you set one to be a tap tempo. You can also pick the ring colour and whether it is off/on for the light or dim/bright. The scribble strip (the name of each switch) can be set as well.

Probably the best demo so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQUmE0TfC4I Nice comparison of regular amps and the unit too. And you can load after market IRs too. Personally I like the stock ones, but whatever floats your boat!
