Is that an 8 string bass?

Bought a Zoom MS-60B+ from Ian. Super easy to deal with and shipped the item out quickly. All as described. Over all, a lovely transaction. Buy with confidence. Thanks again, Alex

I thought exactly this. If you’re specifically looking for a medium scale then it’s not a bad shout as the only other ‘affordable’ medium on the market is the affinity range by Squier and that’s a lot cheaper (happy to be corrected). But, between the Jet basses and this, is it going to be almost twice as good as the Jet basses which is what the price point indicates? Hmm. Looks to have slightly better woods than the Jet basses, and a ‘bone’ nut. Otherwise, likely to be a very similar beast in terms of quality. Be interested to hear some first hand reviews on them!

SX do a very nice looking 30” P bass copy. Looks the part but can’t comment on the sound or quality of them. -

You know, when you said you needed a red bass, I wondered… but now I get it completely 😅 Looks great 👌 -
Gorgeous this and these are superb basses that punch well above their weight. No chance of me getting anywhere near Portsmouth anytime soon so have a bump instead! -
Any big ‘Cure’ fans here… We’ve got to perform ‘Mint Car’ as a first dance in a few weeks. Just going over the lyrics in the background to get them good and familiar… After the first chorus, there’s a random bit of vocal ‘waffle’. Google tells me he says ‘Slinky as raccoons in the roof’ Can anyone confirm this? I’ll be honest, i probably won’t sing that bit anyway, but, surely, just surely, it can’t actually say that can it? 😅

Missed out on one of these on EBay a few months ago. Stunning looking instruments. Congrats!

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. NOW £25 POSTED Tar! Alex -
Now £99 posted -
Price drop before I put it on the bay. -
These look really nice! Nice unique shape too. Have no doubt that they’ll play lovely too If their Jet basses are anything to go by!

Another cracking weekend of weddings for us just gone. All complimented by a daytime and early set yesterday which meant I was home by 9.30pm Only downside is some idiot decided to try and balance a pint on a speaker on Friday nights Which of course didn’t end well. Seemed to continue to work for the remainder of the night. But we didn’t need both yesterday so I’ll dig it out this week and check it over before next weekend. People.

Sold a pedal to Rick. Super easy and friendly to deal with. Pleasure, thanks Rick. Enjoy!
-
Yeah I looked at the POD they do look very good! I just wanted more tweak ability. Thanks, had a triple gig weekend, and the B6 did not disappoint at all! Really impressed with the IR’s already on it! As it’s quite big I think the only downside is I’ll probably need something different for fly gigs but I’m thinking of grabbing an ms60b+ for the handful of those we have as I could stuff that into a pair of shoes in my case!

If it’s just the pickup config you wanted I’d go for one of these… Fancied one for quite a while but always talk myself out of it… https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-tc30-thundercaster-bass-30-short-scale-dark-grey-flame-top/ -
Thanks everyone for their help. I’ve ordered a B6 which should land today. Decided to stick with Zoom as i know the brand and looking at videos, It seems to do everything and more that i need. Also, the fact that it has a colour screen for the tuner was a big winner for me. I’m often tuning while singing the first verse of a song so rely on the colours rather than the actual screen. But, we’ll see. There’s a Stomp for sale in my local 2nd hand shop, so if the B6 doesn’t impress, I’ll give that a whirl. Thanks again all. Alex

Shameless plug, but I’ve got my very nice Vintera 60s Mustang up for sale in the classifieds if anyone is looking 👍 -
That’s very kind of you! I’m not a million miles away from Hereford but too far to justify it though I’m afraid. (Telford, Shropshire)

This is exactly where i am at the moment. Trying to decide between B2 Four, B6 & GT-1B after years of a B3. Good to hear you’re happy with yours and the choice you made! I would only be using it mainly for preamps/amp sims and was leaning towards the B6 because of being able to have more control of the IRs and cab sims. But, as I only use a few effects the B6 may be overkill. Also leaning towards staying with zoom as I’m familiar rather than the Boss I think I’m leaving it in the hands of the gods and see what comes available at the right price first!
-
Yeah i think I’m going to explore the newer Zoom stuff and go from there. In honesty, my B3 does almost everything i want, but I’d just like to see what’s changed as well as have a few more slots in the chain. So, we’ll go from there. They’re also much more in the price range i was looking at for now. I’m sure I’ll get the itch to try something new soon enough 😅
-
Really helpful, thanks for this. You know, I have memory slots on my PA and I have a saved setting. But, for some reason I never thought to save for specific venues! Great shout!
-
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?
