So much like JML you had no idea you needed one of these, until those lovely companies started making them. Tidy up your cabling to/from your pedal board! Easy to use send jack into the input of your first pedal, and from yiur last pedal into the return. Your cables from your bass and to your amp are in one convenient place. It is a very high quality bit of kit in as new condition, features Neutrik jacks and has high quality Velcro on the bottom. I've an EBS Microbass2 which does the same job (and a lit more) so this isn't needed. SOLD

So I've been restoring my 82 JV Squier jazz back to its stock format, and decided to get one of these, vintage Spiral Saddled bridges as I got one on my P bass and it's great. I literally bought this brand new about 4 weeks ago, it got sent to a tech, who as doing the stripping work and he fitted it. When I got the bass back, the bridge is brilliant but it was too SHINY for my 39 year old, battle scarred bass😂 I've now bought reliced Gotoh which is pretty much the same thing, but dirty!! HOSCO are the distributor for Gotoh and I suspect, Hosco parts are made by Gotoh, as they are made in Japan (although the Hosco is a tad thicker and has a slightly bigger baseplate) Anyway as new, although I don't have any screws for it (I suspect they ended up, in my techs spares drawer) steel baseplate, Brass saddles etc NOW SOLD

Yeas that would be the ideal situation for me! FEA for the P bass and cali for the jazz/musicman

Cool!! A good optical comp is great if your using digital effects. I used to use a Effectrode then a Diamond and later the 3leaf Pwnzor which both worked well, with the source audio Gemini I had at the time, it almost puts back that Analog fatness. I think you'd regret it, if you relied on the the Helix comp (and I'm sure it's great)

Aha on hold! Someone's going to be happy. Shame I don't have the cash 😁

I like the simplicity of the Cali as the combined attack/release works well for me. But tonally it's very bright and I'd like somethibg warmer! That being said, I've gone to passive on my basses (except my musicman) so having that extra clarity will work nicely. I haven't tried a helix, and I've seriously considered that route myself, but I've seen too many people sell all their board to buy one, then promptly start to buy compressors and octaves as they arnt happy with the models. An ideal board would be having both, I'd say if you can afford it, try to get the Helix and keep the FEA (the warmth from that comp, will help soften some of the digital effects)

Goodness I'd love that 😁 Very light compression and tone enhancement from tbe FEA at the beginning of the chain,and put the Cali at the end as a limiter 😋

I've had a cali76 CB for ages and in love it, but I keep looking at these and the fact I haven't tried one, is driving me mad 😂
