The last few on here secondhand have been £300-320 ... they are about... Is it end of line? Well yes and no. It's a digital effect... at some point it's going to be outdated, probably in more than 20 years time, but still.... will there will be some new shiny thing in the future, yes, will the "upgrade" be much more than what the Helix line is now? Maybe modelling of guitar amps maybe, but I question how much difference/improvement it would make for bass where the needs are slightly different... Also the last update was only a few months ago, and the HX one has just come out, while it's clearly a way of spinning the line out (like a mid stage face lift on a car) it's not like they could not support something thats only just come out.... And, crucially, is there anything out, in a similar price bracket with the similar features that is better? not really. (total curveball, if you wanted the volume/wah the full size Helix secondhand loose more value than the stomp, and in some ways for big digital multifx it has more competition than the stomp)

Still getting love @neepheid?

I have had the Zoom B3, then B3n (and still a MS70cdr) and the HX is a step up IMO. It is more than good enough. And you can buy that and know it's as good as you can get for your money... I was looking recently for a digital pedal but only for delay reverb and some modulation.... the choice was cheap (the MS70cdr) through to expensive (H90) and in the middle the HX ... which I don't think anything gets close to feature set etc. That said I did sell mine - but that was to move away from digital multifx

The HX stomp, in my mind is in a class of its own. If you're going digital effects, for price/size/features and everything it's well worth it. It is exactly this. ESP if you're thinking of guitar it's even more useful. Of your current pedal board it can replace everything but the volume pedal and wireless. And they hold value secondhand consistently, which can't really be said for the sonicake.... I would just find a HX stomp secondhand... if you don't like it, sell it on

(just for Andy)

You know for the next one you're going to have to find some vintage Yamaha BBs

Nah, he’s got at least one more board to build first!
-
The post were Sam has nothing she hasn’t programmed herself in some way!!
-
they look good, my board (singular!) is a voodoo labs small ex, and was comparing it last night on rock boards online thingy and the 4.1 are a handy size - but very deep front to back!
-
the crazy thing is I'm pretty sure you've still got pedals not on boards too! What make are the pedalboards?
-
Surely diy comes under a slightly different catagory

I would touch bass with @funkle … he’s the expert around here

I found silicon Christmas tree work for me, - they go in the ear canal but are held in by a gentler pressure than foam buds. I couldn't get comply style foam to work consistently.
-
I had a EQ1 in a Warwick streamer as my main bass for about a decade. complex but very learnable once you understand what you’re doing.

I was thinking that would be the best way if one wanted to avoid remortgaging to afford it!

Cult of Zoom MS-50G/MS-60B/MS-70CDR/G1(X)on/B1(X)on

And the rain mixer at the end of chain 👌 - I have no idea why it wasn’t a factory patch to do that and add clean blend after everything -

Lots of guitar based patches on r/zoommultistomp but would love to have some more bass bassed inspiration. (I got my ms70cdr last week after someone on the forum answered my wanted ad) -
The metro Japan basses are lovely... but the "they are all lightweight" is something they started doing in the Warwick-Sadowsky era - so don't presume that it's going to be lightweight. I have a 4 string Will Lee metro - I only got it in a trade as it was going to be easier than my bass to sell on... that was 6 years back and it's been my main bass since

What the other three said - from what you’ve said you’ve not played live much before… church is a great way of learning to play live - aim for getting the simple things bulletproof before adding anything else. the main skill to focus on isn’t playing interesting lines, but listening to the others in the band and learning to lock in and play in a supportive way. It’s very easy to come up with the best riff ever at home and then get to Sunday and find the drummer has a different idea of what the rhythm is doing and it doesn’t fit
