This is good to know, thanks. I do think it’s likely the idea of a new system that is more daunting than actually cracking on and getting one ‘dialled in’. It’s good to hear it’s achievable on the pedal though. I think this is what I was unsure of with the HX/Gt1000 as I would prefer to edit on the pedal rather than the laptop.
-
Yeah , True. But I’m more referring to the need to tweak the stomp via a computer to get the most out of the presets. I should rephrase and say ‘How do you find the initial ease of setup for the HX out of the box and the ability to edit it within the pedal’ With an amp I would spend time to tweak the EQ and find a sound that works on the amp and then adjust to a live setting. Most of the information online suggest that to get the most out of a HX. I’d need to plug it into my computer and spend hours tweaking effects to get decent presets.
-
How do you find the initial ease of setup for the HX? The idea of having to spend hours building presets is a little overwhelming and looking at most of the info online around them, it appears this is needed to get the best out of them. As a fairly busy ( I like to think) bassist. I don’t want to spend a tonne of time working out how to build sounds. Or maybe this is the case with majority of more in depth multis and missing a trick?

As above. This is a 2019 model. Great condition. A few very small blemishes which I’ve tried to picture but are really hard to catch on camera and can’t really be seen unless intentionally looking. (2 on top horn, one near bridge and one or two very little ones near the control plate) Also a little bit of bucklerash as this has been gigged for a year or so but nothing major. No noticeable marks to my eyes on the headstock. Really nice bass. Hipshot tuners which I’m not sure whether or not are standard but they’re on there since I bought it… Recently (3 weeks ago) professionally set up with EB Medium Slinkies. with a slight fret dress, so it’s a really nice low action with no high spots or choking. Honestly, plays like butter, whatever that plays like! I’ve also had the pickup cavity and pick guard copper shielded at the same time so it no longer has that pesky Mustang Hum. Only selling because try as I might, I just can’t seem to make it work for me. The split coil pickup which the Mustang is famous for sounds awesome but I can’t make it fit in my main gig and find myself craving more ‘honk’ that comes from having a bridge pickup. Comes with a full size bass hard case which I’ve adapted to fit the short scale with some wood & foam. Works a treat. Also comes with Schaller S Locks. And, I think I’ve got an old set of Fender flatwounds cut to fit it which I’ll chuck in. The original strap pins are also in the case and I can knock £20 off if you don’t want the Schallers. I can also include the Fender strap for an additional £10. Looking for £650 collected from TF5 where I have very nice coffee and a biscuit or 2 available, and a nice amp you can try through. Or, i think i have a box and can pack up if you wanted to organise a courier. And… I can potentially meet within about 30-40 mins of TF5 . Will consider trades/part trades for short scales especially a Fender Japan Junior Jazz Bass or Gibson Jr Les Paul Tribute, and potentially 5 strings. But, sale is preferred so happy to see what you’ve got. Thanks in advance. Alex-

I didn’t even realise they had a newer line so thanks for this. 👌

I’m wanting to upgrade from my ole’ faithful B3… Mainly because as much as I love the B3, I’d like something with more tweakability and a few extra patches available for a handful of different gigs coming up. So, what MultiFx have you all been using in the real world that you would recommend? I think I’m deciding between: Zoom b6/b2-Four Boss Gt-1B Headspace GigBoard/MX5 I’m a bit of a Zoom Fanboy so have been leaning to the B6/B2-Four. But, also quite interested in the Boss GT-1B but don’t know anyone with 1st hand experience of using one in a live setting. and the Headspace Gigboard/MX5 look really good, but I’ve had a friend that had a couple of reliability issues with his mx5. There’s so many variants I appreciate so just interested to hear others real world opinions of them and what the Basschat world recommends. I know some people will have used 1 or more of them so interested to see how they compare… Is there something I’m missing that I should check out? And I know that a lot of people will recommend the HXStomp/GT1000 but in honesty, they scare the hell out of me and I’m not sure I’m looking for something I need to spend hours on the computer editing. And, equally they’re more money than I’d like to spend. My main requirement is Amp/Cab Sim, user friendliness as I’m not looking for something I need to spend hours and hours and hours tweaking, a visibly good tuner. And, importantly… reliability. Thanks in advance Alex

Had this for about 8 years. Light use with a few scuffs. Sat on a board for a while and used as a volume pedal so no longer has the rubber feet. £30 inc. postage or collection from Telford. Tar! Alex -
Bought this used a few weeks ago from my local music shop for £100. I’ve gigged it twice since. It’s in great condition with original box. It really is a fantastic pedal for the money. I had grand plans of building a nice board of singles but I’ve decided to just stick to multiFX. It has Velcro on the back but the original sticky rubber feet are also in the box if you want to stick them back on. Yours for £95 posted to Mainland UK. Thanks for looking Alex -
Saturday night was a wedding at a new venue for us in Lincoln. Long old day with travel included. We performed the ceremony, drinks and evening + DJ which is fairly regular package for us. But when we have a few hours travel on these as well they are killer days. Woke at 6am… Left the house at 7.30am and got home at 3.20am. Worked out at around 20hr day (ish). Still, just the one gig this week so not too bad. This can get relatively regular in the Summer so taking it as a nice easy week. All round a really good day. Lovely couple and group of people which were well up for it in the evening and a good sound with no limiter! Good first dance too. ‘Silver’ by The DMA’s which we smashed (if I do say so) Although, we are going through a few weeks of technical frustrations. Struggling quite a bit with something causing an intermittent cut out/ crackle in our IEMs. Thought we’d cracked it but it appeared again for a couple of songs... Sometimes wonder whether we’d be better with corded IEMs but with only 1 aux feed sending to 2 IEMs I don’t know whether this is achievable…? More investigation needed Also struggled with a horrible grounding type issue on my bass in soundcheck. Noise gate and reducing the gain on my pedal seemed to fix it but strange it’s never been an issue before. I’ve gone back to the Zoom B3 after having a few gigs using my new Laney Digbeth pedal. But, I really missed the cab sim within the SVT patch so not sure whether I’ll just stick with the B3 or try and find a way to make the Digbeth work as it does sound great. Anyway, the important bit… Brown Asda boots that I picked up on the way to a gig a few months ago after the guitarist let my Dr Martens fall out of the van on his drive without realising.

Bought as a backup to my preamp and no longer required. Nice little pedal for the money. Used at home a couple of times but that’s it. £20 posted or collection from Telford. Tar! Alex -
I like Beck. Although like your previous self, I’ve not really given him the time much past the singles. I will say though, that’s a fantastic concept you’ve got for your band!

Very, very nice! I met Alan & his wife at the Bass Show and they were lovely. Tried a 32” 5er and it was superb! Enjoy!

Ha, I’ve looked at this so many times that I completely forgot that I’d already wished you GLWTS. Ah well, as much good luck as I can muster! -
I’ve used ‘Setlist Helper’ for about 5 years and so far it’s been fine 👍

Sorry to hear you’re having some health battles. Perhaps take the pressure off yourself and give yourself a specific length of time ‘off’. Put everything away for a month and tell yourself you’re not going to touch it but after the set time you’re going to crack on. In the meantime, consume as much music and bass related stuff as possible. I find watching old live gigs of bands and artists I love on YouTube makes me itch to pick up the instrument. You might find that the idea of not being able to play it combined with lots of inspiration to be a good reset.
