Cardboard shipping box from an Ibanez bass. Free to the first person who can collect it from Enfield.

Try these guys: http://www.guitaraid.co.uk They fixed a few Tech 21 pedals for me. Really quick turnaround and well priced. Highly recommended.

I got a 1025 in a trade about 6 months ago and haven't put it down since. Amazing basses, buy it!

Awesome, many thanks 👍

Yeah, there's no way the BFR can compete with the BBC. It's a small fraction of the potential of it.

I recon so, although it's a pitch shifting chorus rather than LFO based.

Think the hold function will do it: http://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=3867.0

The Roland GR-55 has the best detection of all the things I've tried. (Not had the pleasure of an IR yet!) it's also designed to add stuff to your original signal, where it works pretty well. Weirdly, the VB-99's bass to midi is much more latently - I assume it uses the same engine as the GR-55?

Yeah, I've been using mine a lot too. Line 6 really got it right with the 500x.

Hi all, About to embark on a Toto tribute band project replacing previous bassist. Before I start frantically transcribing I thought I'd see if you lot could help out. I've already written out the obvious ones: Hold the Line, Rosanna and Africa. Looking for accurate dots for the following: Girl Goodbye Home Of The Brave White Sister Afraid Of Love Falling In Between King Of The World I'll Be Over You Pamela Stop Loving You Hydra Thanks in advance.

I'm after a bag for this amp. I know some guys put their micro cabs in a cajon bag to transport them. Does such a thing exist? Or has anyone got an alternative?

[/quote] Nice one, just had to do these and you've saved me a job transcribing it. Thanks.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1481836907' post='3195637'] It's the floppiness though. I had a word with Andy from D'Addario, and he has recommended some short scale strings with better tension. [/quote] Ahh, nice. Please let us know how you get on.

Hey, how did you get on with the bass after a good setup? Have you gigged it yet? How's the string tension?

Bought a deco HB Uke bass from him. Was a perfect deal and he was very accommodating after my plans changed last minute. Top guy to deal with, highly recommended.

Thanks for all the positive comments people. I guess the bass and drums are very much linked, I know I often listen to the drums on a track before the bass. I'd love to have another go, but this time with a bit of prep - a few stock fills and some stuff to end songs with would have really helped.

I've been a gigging bass player for over 25 years, but I've never once played a gig on drums..until last night. Due to a mistake by the agent I somehow got booked onto my regular gig (a blues trio) with two guitar players and me. Trying to work out the best way forward, and after much chin scratching we realised that one of the regular drummers had left a full set of cymbals and some sticks. We set up the house kit and it was decided that one of the guitar players would play my bass and I'd be on drums! i'm no drummer, but kept it really simple and after a fews numbers settled into my new role. I actually really enjoyed it, by the end the gig we had people up dancing and even took a few request. Perhaps I've missed my calling?

[quote name='JPJ' timestamp='1480941394' post='3188183'] Ah another Flyrig user! A bass playing friend up here in the frozen North has just bought one of these and uses it as his whole rig. Bass -> Flyrig -> FOH -> in-ears. I'm such a luddite I don't think I could ever go that far, but he is well impressed with the Flyrig and he knows his bass onions. [/quote] Yep, I do that quite a bit too, just IEM's, bass and Flyrig. It's a great little setup.
