I also were a bit tired of my nano muff, and thought of replacing it with a Bass soul food. Can the Muff actually be used as a subtle “ crunch” like the soul food? Having my board in the rehearsal room, I can’t fiddle with it right now. Should I stop thinking of the Bass Soul Food, and learn to tweak my Muff instead?

Any links as to how to update the firmware - sorry for not being so tech minded

I have been looking very close in the Fender Mustang lately, everything looks great except the price. I can get 3 Squier Jaguar for the price of a Fender Mustang, has anyone had a chance to play both? In playability and tone, is the Fender worth the extra money? Hope someone can help me out. Thanks

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1504181187' post='3363197'] Not knocking the LH500 but it's of its time. You could do better, i.e. smaller, lighter and er... 'soundier'. [/quote] Like in what amps? Thinking tone/value as in LH500

Years ago I used a LH500. As far as I remember, the tone was really warm and fat. Actually thinking of getting one as a backup for my EBS amp. Connected to 2 12" EBS cabs - how do you feel about the LH500? From the user manual: [i][font=MyriadPro][size=2]The LH Series rear panels have 1/4-inch EFFECTS SEND and RETURN for connecting external effects processors, plus 1/4-inch and Speakon connectors for connecting your bass cabinet or cabinets. [/size][/font][/i] The LH500 does not have Speakon connectors, or am I wrong?

Don't avoid giving the little 250 watt Reidmar a chance, or the heavy but nicely warm sounding Hartke LH 500

Any users out there, who want to talk about this thing? Every time I use this at home, I think it sounds pretty "thin" due to the light material it's buildt with. Been thinking about stuffing some "stuff"inside it, to get a fuller/beefy tone. Then every time I use it in a rehearsal or at a small gig, I'm amazed how good thing thing plays at 50% volume. Kick in the compressor, and it actually shakes my trousers. It plays so much better when volume is turned up, than at home where I don't play so loud. Anyone tried to place some kind of isolation/dampening material inside?

It's a new smaller version of the old 250 watt Reidmar, and I have the power I need in that small package

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1494142263' post='3293509'] Agree here too, that is assuming you already love your amp. [/quote] I do. I have tried A LOT of stuff. The stack I love most is my Reidmar going into 2 12" CL also from EBS

Actually I use my VM into a Bass Muff Nano. My board is Tuner-Vintage Microtubes-Bass Big Muff Nano - Zoom MS-60B I use the VM to color my tone, and adding just a bit overdrive. In guitar solos etc. I kick in the Muff, for a fat sounding drive in my bass. The Zoom is just my toy for playing around with.

I am looking for a lighter set (300-500 watt)to replace my curtent set-up - a 500 watt EBS Classic + 4x10 EBS CL). I am thinking of an Hartke LH500 (NOT very light weight) and possibly a 2x12. What good sounding cab would go nicely with that Harke Amp? What else could you suggest, for a pop/rock band?

I use a Darkglass Vintage Microtubes as an always on mild drive. Does any of you use anything in combinstion with it (reverb, chorus etc.)?

I look forward to hear their Darkglass versions of B3k and B7k

Anyone Got one of those cheap HB basses? Thinking of getting a really cheap (half price of the Squier) Harley Benton fretless jazz bass, and replicerer tuners and perhaps pickups. Any first hand experience with them?

I use my iPad for chords and lyrics. I use the Onsong app, that use files in .txt format (Words can be used, too). I have started a group on Facebook where people can share and get files for that purpose, so if you are interested in sharing your files, or getting them, feel free to join. There are around 1000 songs with chords and lyrics at the moment. [url="https://www.facebook.com/groups/chordsandlyrics/"]www.facebook.com/groups/chordsandlyrics[/url] Hope to see you there Steen

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1475335905' post='3145167'] The one with the blocks looks to me like the Fender Classic 70s Jazz. Take a close look at the pickups and on this one the bridge pickup should be a tad closer to the bridge than on the other one. When both pickups are selected this one should have more of a "bite" to the sound. [/quote] Thanks for the information

I have two Fender Jazz basses from Mexico. I would think they were identical, but they are not. One has block inlays, the other has dots on the fretboard. One has "Mexico" and serial number on the front of the head stock, the other has that information on the back of the head stock. Actually the pick ups does not sound exactly the same - one has more "bottom end" to the tone, although the PU's are stock PU's. Can anyone tell me more about mexican vs mexican Fenders?

How do you use yours? Mine is always on, using it like this:

B3 always...or the cheaper MS60B (also Zoom). B3 is pretty cheap, it teaches you all you want to know about various effects, how they sound mixed together - and there are the amp simulations. Then you get a looper, a drum machine and a tuner. Last it works like an external sound card, so you can connect it to your conputer via USB, and pray/practice/record you bass on the computer. I would buy another B3 in a second, if mine got lost.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1470515420' post='3106530'] What do you use the multi-fx for? [/quote] Just to color the sound. I have the B3 and wouldn't be without it, so I will get the MS60B on my board for various options. B3 has a lot of great effects, and the small MS60B has almost all the same stuff

For a small board with a [b]TC Electronic PolyTune[/b] -> [b]Darkglass Vintage Microtubes[/b] -> [b]EHX Big Bass Muff[/b] -> [b]Zoom MS 60B Multistomp[/b], how would you place the different pedals, and why?

I know I have had issues with TonePrint via a P bass pickup, via my Jazz bass pickups everything was fine. I talked to TC about it, and they know that some people have the same problem. Try to update the software via a computer

[quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1463695604' post='3053513'] My board (a small but perfectly formed pedal train mini) consists of a B3, a VT Bass and my wireless. [/quote] I have been thinking the same way. Do you cable board/amp, or how do you set up the wireless?
