I have a Talman 4 string and I love it. None of the cons you've listed worry me - and to be fair you don't see them as huge cons yourself, just minor improvements you're content to do yourself. However neck dive is an automatic no for me on any bass. I hate it. I added a strap button at the neck plate on a T Bird years ago, and have to say it worked just fine. Congrats on your new bass. More evidence that no one needs to spend silly money on an instrument these days.

I'm not terribly bright. Do these bridges require specially made strings? Shorter, no silks? Or am I not getting something?

Congratulations on a great design. Have you changed the material of the intonation tubes?

Anyway back to the point - I found this guy on Reddit (a guitarist, but hey, no one is perfect) who shares some interesting thoughts on the inherent 'bassiness' of the pedal.

Wow! In the States they have an expression I've only heard in relation to photography. Theres a Panasonic camera which you can buy at the normal price, or you can pay another few hundred pounds and get it with a red dot on the front. The Leica red dot. Same camera off the same production line but the red dot elevates it from Panasonic to Leica. They call it a dentist's camera. Because only a dentist could afford it. Obviously this isn't an ordinary pedal with a very expensive bit of branding, I'm not suggesting that for one moment. I'm sure it's wonderful, but £750 for a pre-amp pedal? I'd want it to straighten my teeth as well for that kind of money.

Sad? Underrated? Single? Title for my autobiography?

Or six of us, 2 months each. A Harley for 2 months for £16. Then 10 months later you get it back.

We need to get a Basschat syndicate going. Four of us put in, buy a bass and keep it 3 months of the year each. Draw lots for who goes first. All the guilt of buying too many dissolves away into nothing.

Dayum! We need to take this forum underground.

B-Stock, £32. And I got free postage by buying a Harley Benton bass as well. Win Win Win.

Considering I used all 5 pedals all on all the time, whereas in 'real life' I'd only have 1 always on, and 1 often on, I'm saying that, for me at least, the Harley at £32 is totally silent, mess free, slim and packs plenty of power for any gig I'm likely to play. I'm approaching 5 hours now and powering down. Didn't need two really but hey ho.

4.5 hours stil working fine. Can we call this a success now?

I'm getting a bit worried He may be straying from the point...

Ah, This is a tributary is it? I shall search for the confluence

What you say may ineed be true. But here I am testing my new purchase.

4 hours I need to get a life.

3.5 hours still going strong

Nice one supreme being. And presumambly cast down the plain black and plain white 'pickguards' too.

I am not buying any sort of Helix, oh no, that is literally out of the question. Don't need, can't afford totally happy with my three effects boards, and anyway lost most of my work. Now that's cleared up, say some other fictitious (not me) person were to be looking, are we any the wiser on the differences between the Line 6 Helix HX Effects and the Line 6 POD GO? Seeing as they are both the same price but appear different in some ways. If a young bass player were to ask me, what would I tell her (or him)?

2.5 hours in down to one bar remaining. No loss of oomph from any effects. But most of all NO NOISE!!!!!

I love learning new words. Being a bit of a philologos this has made my day, thank you.
