Yip - this has always been my philosophy too. I think the pandemic has eaten away at my confidence. Onwards!

Yes. It's so that, especially when there's limited space on stage, I can swop between the 3 instruments more quickly

No I managed to source a fretted version in Germany around 5 years ago. I love them Odd is good 😁thanks for the reply. I have started to practise without the stand and will probably master it in due course but yes I thought I would be considered at the very least eccentric and at the worst just plain unacceptable. However, before I go anywhere near an orchestra I have about 2 years practicing to get under my belt 🤨

I have been using a double bass stand with the Hounds of Love band I play with (a 12 piece playing Kate Bush songs). It's essential due to the constant changing between fretted and fretless bass guitars and double bass. My question is, if I were to play with an amateur classical orchestra, would it be acceptable to use the stand (a Hercules model)? I played in my college (RSAMD) orchestra back in the 70s and used to perch on a stool to play but I have got so used to the stand now that my playing suffers when I try any other method. Answers on a postcard please.

👍

I have a Rocktron B200 which I never got on with and am thinking of selling on. Its a beast -solidly built but I confess the interface confuses me after using my Zoom B1Xon for about 5 years now. I saw a couple of models in Japan on the Bay going for in excess of £250 (see screenshot). If you are interested please message me for a more sensible price.

Nord came to my rescue very quickly when I advertised that I wanted an EBS Octabass pedal. The transaction was really smooth. A fair price was agreed and the pedal arrived safely and well packaged. It looks all shiny (well matt actually) and new and I have no reason to believe that it won't make lovely octavey sounds when I crank it up tonight. Highly recommended chatter. Thanks Nord

[quote name='GisserD' timestamp='1486110313' post='3229239'] I've got a joyo pxl8 In the for sale section that does exactly this. Under 100 nuggets too [/quote] I can't find it GisserD

Andy bought a Zoom B3 from me this week. It was an effortless, smooth transaction. Andy is a basschatter extraordinaire.

That looks much more affordable Pete - thanks Of course this will mean having to buy all the individual pedals I sold (and a load of new ones too) to build a new board... hmmmm...

ouch... 2nd mortgage time it seems

I certainly will

I have often wondered, if I had a pedal board full of pedals, (and I had not converted to using a Zoom B1Xon multi-effects unit) whether there is a way to select 'banks' of pedals with a switching unit (and avoid that pedal dance that we all do - you put your right foot in... right foot out... right foot in and you shake it all about...). EG press one of say 5 foot-switches and get a particular combination of pedals; switch other foot-switches and get different combinations. Surely... SURELY?????

Nice tip Oops - thanks

I had thought about this issue before buying the B3. My B1Xon has always got a dbx compressor and also a noise limiter on pretty much every patch I use. My intended solution for the B3 is to use an external compressor so that frees up a pedal space on each patch. Not perfect but my Hotone compressor is Ditto Looper sized so no transportation problems.
