BassBus

I put one of these Gotohs on my four string fretless. It fitted fine and has done a good job.

They can make you one with a bowable neck.

This. I bought one of these to try little projects on. They are actaully very, very good for the money. Lovely neck and no lines.

Thank you very much ratman. Works like a dream. 👍👍👍

Can any of you knowledgeable people tell me if there is a way to do a MIDI program change for an external pedal with a snapshot. I know how to do it in a preset with Command Center but is there a way to do it in a snapshot?

Status have already stopped building basses due to Rob's semi-retirement.

Just had the Meris LVX delivered today. Some of the YouTubers have produced some amazing sounds from it but there is going to be quite a steep learning curve to it. Part of me doesn't quite know where to start but the other part will start with altering presets to learn about it. Looking forward to this (ish) 🤔

That's really what's stopping me even thinking of buying one. It does make lots of sounds the Helix doesn't make. It would also cost more than I paid for the Helix Floor. Optimum number of effects pedals = N+1

You'll be able to put that hundred quid towards an Eventide H90 then. 😁

The original S2000s had a wooden core wrapped in carbon fibre. I have one from 1984.

I only met Robin once but as you say Martin he was a real gent and really easy to talk with. This is dreadfully sad news and I don't really have any more words to say. Deapest condolencies to you and his family.

I have all these lovely basses so I thought I'd use a few of them on one video. There's a talky bit at the start so if you want to bypass that go to 1.50.

Have you read the message from Mr. Green on the website? http://status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html

Mind truely blown. Just been exploring the Helix Floor as an audio interface. It's been setup in Cubase for this for a while but never really explored the possibilities. It occured to me that it would be good to take a dry uneffected tone to one track on Cubase and the second line of effects below that to another. Can it be done I thought. It sure can. Jason Sadites as always has an excellent video on the subject so followed that and now I can mix the effeted bass tone separately from the effected tone with all the possibilities around that. What a wonderful machine. After five years with it I'm still learning.

The power you have, more like. Another two since you posted this today. Thank you Sir.

Thanks for everyone's replies. The plot thickens. The problem has been on a new patch I've been trying in the Floor. I've gone back through some of my old patches made over the 5 years since I bought it and the strange thing is all the externals are fine in them. It must be a setup issue. I'll have to go through the older ones and compare setup with the new one.

All the signals are leaving the Helix that's the problem. It's somewhere in the send/returns as there is a very slight delay in the signal when those blocks are engaged. Bypassing the send/return blocks leaves the signal nice and clear, what I would call normal. Even with all the external pedals switched off but with the send/returns engaged there is this very slight delay. Very strange.

Wonder if any of you kind people can help with a phasing issue when using send/return blocks. When I put in a send/return block with external effects on it I get this horrible nasally, boxy phasing sound. It seems to be a problem that others have had and written about on other forums but no workaround is posted. When the send/return block is disabled sound is fine. Enabling them brings it back. I've tried different mix levels on the externals and the blocks but no difference. Tried instrument and line settings in globals. No change. Bit stumped so has anyone else experienced this and found a way round it?

Supreme artistry. The neck itself is amazing.

I'd say put the board up to the pickup if you like a ramp under your fingers. If you don't then keep it to the end of the neck and leave the space under the strings.

You could also consider speaking to Newtone Strings who might be able to make you some custom strings to your own spec. https://newtonestrings.com/

Excellent job people.

Can anyone suggest the best suppliers of veneer to fill fret slots. Either maple or I wouldn't mind dark ebony or black died veneer.
