I've got one in a bag in my spare room I took out of my 55-94. What exactly are you trying to do? (ie my work is mental at the moment - so I can do a detailed diagram but it might be a few weeks... if it's a more specific question than that ask away. from memory it's not wired any differently than a standard Bartolini preamp... )

For me... Best Buy: East Uni-Pre 5. Off someone here at a great price. It took a Lakland bass that sounded alright, but struggling to an amazing sound. He really is a genius John East. Worst: East Uni-Pre 5 ... er it's the only bass related thing I've bought this year. Mostly I slimmed my bass wall down from 4 basses to 2... and then preceded to get tempted by vintage precision basses.

Three Jazzes.... Where's Lozz196 and what have you done to him? This really is a year of unprecedented changes and events. Probably, show off! Hasn't it got loads of different compressors in it you can change?

No gain reduction meters on both HX ... the default settings are a bit gain boosting too ... but it’s good

I was just going to suggest this... there might be things that only pop out at volume in the mix. Not literally pop out.... unless it’s dead spots or something.

have you got a link to your Memoire? Be nice reading if Google translate is up to it!

that's from the "sold" section of his website... but I get your main point RE this bass

it is worth a bit more than £7k... https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/fender-precision-bass/products/1957-fender-precision-bass-2-tone-sunburst-2 In my search for a precision I actually ended up chatting to the seller the OP links too about vintage fenders. From chatting to him I think you're right that the vendor is probably ok, the sanity of vintage fender prices....

Reverb prices generally can be a bit bonkers

im glad you got your bass sorted for you

Corrected it for you

I think there have been some issues with HX stomp getting fed Phantom - I make sure I ask for it to be off on my channel before turning on. JDi probably a nicer bit of kit whatever!

in fact - if you go onto Phil Jones website and look at the Pictures they say Edifier on the arm too....

The Phil Jones H850's they sell in EUK.... or the Edifier "tuned by Phil Jones pure sound" H850's they sell in the rest of the world?

updated! If that's the only major error I did well! I get a bit out of my depth when it comes to input/output impedance's and the different levels...

there are two types of signal we are talking about: balanced and unbalanced. Balanced is good because it generally is not effected by noise as much. To be balanced it need three connectors in the wire positive, negative and ground. Unbalanced has two conectors, positive and ground. Signal degrades over long cables. Typically unbalanced things like a bass use quarter inch jack sockets. Balanced things use XLR .... but the important thing is what the signal is - not what the plugs are... So in typical use a DI box converts a unbalanced signal to a balanced signal. It might also change the level and impedance but that's not relevant at the moment. So you plug a bass (that gives an unbalanced signal) into a JDi - and it converts it to a lovely balanced signal - which you need a wire with three connectors for... so you use the industry standard XLR and take lots of lovely bass signal to the desk.... sorted. If you look here at the back of the helix you can see two XLR out in the middle - sending balanced signal to the desk. Where it gets confusing with the HX Stomp and HX effects is we don't have any XLR - for the same reason that my iPhone doesn't have a headphone socket - there's not enough space. Instead we've got a 1/4 inch jack. ... which is what we typically use for unbalanced signals. BUT they have designed it so a 1/4 inch jack with three contacts (TRS) will get a balanced signal. So a TRS - XLR cable will do the same job as a XLR-XLR out of the back of your JDI A TS - XLR will give an unbalanced signal (and need a DI box to make it balanced) So in your case if you are replacing the JDI with the Stomp you will need one (or two for stereo) TRS-XLR cables to send to the desk (or converters) The downside is - that it's not a standard cable so you will need to buy them (and a spare) as you can't expect a venue to have them. (In worst case senario though you can use a ts-ts and a DI box!)

I would bet you a pint it’s the same guy

That’s not a difficult thing to work out! the name is a registered trademark... https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00002427731 the owner of that trade Mark is easily searched and pops up with a fella who builds basses still under a different marque https://www.anacondabasses.co.uk/about-anaconda-basses

I have no idea what a Ostinato is!

Free Spotify have started Christmas adverts already

Exactly- if one person can do it it must be possible. I don’t think he’s cornered the market, in so much be the only person doing it

You know how people have their idea that they could make a mini business if they had the time - working out how to make really good cellulose tort would be mine.

I’m pretty sure most of us on here arent at that kinda level where we could demand the mix be based around a specific sound...
