saw this on the Helix FB group; like an M9 on steroids.

love my Sonor Jungle kit, can hold its own on gigs. Incoming house move might force me to sell it tho 😞

I certainly used to own a Modulus VJ but I can’t remember much about it now. 

Cost me just £650 back when I bought it 🤦‍♂️

perhaps this will help you remember? 😀

Yeah I can still remember when flea basses use to sell used for less than a grand.

What is the MG in the middle? Body like Quantum, but neck like VJ5, so what is that?

Its a 2006 Funk Unlimited JJ5.

are they Lace Alumatone pickups in the one on the left? 

Whats the red one - the PG is different to a normal P bass though it looks familiar. 
Which is your main player? 
Why am I asking so many questions? 

-They are Joe Bardens. 

-Its a bitsa with a Status jazz neck and Hipshots. I got the body cheap on ebay, most probably a Jack and Danny one but I am not sure tbh

- mainly the two Modulus (when gigging was still a thing) but it really depends on the need. The P bass is a lockdown thing so havent been out of the house yet. 

-Knowledge is power. 😄

Black headstock gang

mainly a four string player, but I have one five string when the need for it arises. Never felt uncomfortable switching between 4 & 5 strings, I am actually more uncomfortable doing the drop D thing for lower notes (for non drop D songs) hehe

about a month or two ago we used jamulus and zoom to  stream our spontaneous jam on facebook live, just to annoy our online friends. 😁😁😁

The Focusrite stuff is very good for the money. The drivers are stable and the preamps are good quality.

Definitely a good choice for a first interface.

But, if anyone has a Helix related unit, then that can be used as an interface as well so you might not need a separate one.

Before I bought my Focusrite Solo, I am using my HX stomp as my interface. As good as the one I am using now IMO. Only reason for getting the Focusrite is I need the Mic input so I can converse during jams. 

We use Jamulus + Zoom (optional) and it has been ok so far.

met Neil when he bought a Squier bass I was selling more than 4 years ago. Aside from being a legendary bass player, he is so cool and even game for an insta-selfie. 😄

I like it.

Sounds? Come on, he doesn't actually use it! It's on display in his front room 😁

this is actually quite true, Covid means no gig, and lately when I want to have a go with them thick string guitars I just reach for the Zoom B1on and headphones. 😅😅 

Although lately I recorded some collabs using this board as the Stomp is my only interface atm so I reversed the signal, Noble first in the chain going to tuner then effects then to the HX Stomp.

Thanks for the pedalboard love everyone! 👍🏼

Hahahaha, I just like colours. In everything (cars, furniture, walls...)

Just a reference for the “deeply hurt” statement. (and any excuse to repost the board. 😁)

I have to say that some years back, all my pedals were black. Not by choice, because I like the sound. But it was boring-looking. 

I am deeply hurt by this statement. 😁😁

Unknown to me, and not my usual 'cup of tea', but kudos for the splendid performance and uber-clean recording. Good Stuff; thanks for sharing. An extra 'Clap-clap' for the drums; very tight. 

Thanks Dad3353, drumwise I can say it is one of those rare instances that overplaying is somehow an improvement. lol

Any 90’s RnB / Mint Condition fan here?

I looked at the pdf manual earlier, but it's rather simplified and doesn't give the information I was after

Good to know about the battery life.

Yamaha's session cake webpage says that if you use the 4 pole cable supplied (TRRS) you can use an ios device to record and use effects apps to process the input signal. Have you tried this at all?

I have recorded several times using my session cake and iphone, with garageband and Focusrite Impact app. So I think it will also work with other apps like amplitude etc. for amp sims and effects.

update: I am using one this btw

Selling this very nice AC power cable from the guys at Essential Sound Products. about 6ft in length. I know they are somewhat controversial in their claims tonewise but take it as just a very nice powercable that your boutique amp deserves. 

I mean, some people buy £500 jeans right? 😀😀

from the website:

Orig price is about 200usd before tax, special Basschat price of £50. (Selling it for more everywhere else) Postage is extra. 

Tradewise, I am interested in 3rd gen Focusrite Solo interface.

just connect the Sessioncake directly?

yes, although I have to use a lightning to 3.5mm adaptor for iphone.

I usually go with a Yamaha session cake ( battery powered) into the garageband app of my iphone for audio, or Focusrite Impact app if I want audio+video simultaneously. recorded several online collabs with that combo.
