  1. Another Backbeat G1 for sale - actually quite a new unit in perfect condition, however the light doesn't come on (green) when it's charging, even though it charges perfectly well and performs as normal. I tend to charge it overnight so it doesn't make any difference to me. Comes with box, lead, charger and carry case. Price includes postage Cheers
  2. Backbeat G1 - 100% working fine and complete with box, lead, charger, instructions and carry case. One of the two knobs is slightly angled but it works perfectly, I think it may have come like that. Price includes postage Cheers
  3. Lovely compressor, boxed with all the bumf Very small chip in paint, bottom right corner, and slight marks from velcro on back (but clean, no sticky residue) Price includes postage Cheers
  4. It could be an 8 string but with each pair tuned the same but one roundwound and one flatwound Body should have a monkey grip handle (and probably need one as it’s going to weigh about 15st
  5. Is it me or is that contradictory? Also I think it’s talking more about using compression as an effect, as opposed to how most bassists use it, as an overall tone shaper keeping everything in check in perhaps a more subtle way. Both OD and Fuzz will flatten your signal, so it doesn’t matter if comp is before or after that, I think after is better because you can let the fuzz and OD respond to dynamics which the best ones do really well.
  6. Found the perfect container! This box is a slightly curved shape, designed to hold 4 rolls of 35mm film. It fits the WS20 absolutely perfectly which is super satisfying. Can’t remember where I got it, probably eBay
  7. WL20 is here and I think it’s fantastic! One question - can the two pieces be stored plugged into each other, like you do to pair them, until the lights go off? Oh and has anyone found a good carry case for them?

    Yeah you can but if you use the app to load a different one you have to hook it up via usb to load your own one back again. Not really a problem if you design one and keep with it I guess. Would be good if you could save them to the app. I’m not 100% about this but this is what I’ve read. Despite spending hours tweaking various compressors I’ve had over the years I’m somehow not minded to bother with this, even though it’s probably the most tweakable of the lot.

    I haven’t hooked up the USB yet, I sort of want to but at the same time I love the way it sounds now and I’m not sure if I need to change anything at all. Given that you can’t make your own toneprint and beam it via your phone I think staying with one of the ‘celebrity’ settings is probably safer than losing ‘my’ setting if I change to another preset. I rather like the way it’s worked - literally it arrived, I beamed the East toneprint, I turned the knob to 10:00 and done. It’s under my pedalboard, on, with the knob switched for a big chickenhead so I can more easily adjust by feel. I think I’ll tape it down where it is and leave it alone!
  10. Totally optional
  11. Apparently Invision (who make this software) are aware of the issue and looking into it. Not holding my breath but if people want to use the code method for the time being that’s fine.
  12. Thanks, yeah that happened to me on another site. You get a box with a question mark in it? I wondered if it was due to my AdGuard plug-in but perhaps not. Thanks for reporting

    I’ve just bought one of these little pedals on BC and I have to say I think it’s fantastic. My compressor history is fairly wide, from MXR, LMB3, Cali big box, FEA opti comp and others. My main requirements are that I like it to be super quiet (in terms of white noise when engaged), good at peak limiting and fast attack. So far using the Captain East toneprint I’ve straight away found a really punchy compression which I’m really happy with. The pedal is super quiet and of course tiny so it fits under my pedalboard, and as it remembers the on/off status when powered down and up again it’s pretty set-and-forget. I’m glad I finally got round to trying one. I think all my favourite compressors have been digital, come to think of it. I’ll give some other toneprints a whirl but loving it as it is. Will try at rehearsal next week 🤘
  14. No nothing wrong with it at all if reflected in the price, but I don't think everyone factors that in enough. That Jazz looks amazing by the way and given the limited colour options at the time it gives you the chance to have something custom
  15. I forgot - built in headphone amp/output
  16. Hi mate sorry I missed this. I haven't really put the octave, or any of the effects, through their paces yet. I usually don't use the amp for band practice but I'll take it next week and give it a good trying out. I find the response and character switches make a huge difference to the sound. My default is classic + linear, which gives a slightly more mid heavy sound which suits a band mix well. I did use the flat setting more with my Jazz, which game a tremendously clear full range sound which suited the bass really well. 6L6 and 6550 modes offer up some grind and the 6L6 I found particularly punchy. I realise I need to play with it a bit more, now that I'm so familiar with my bass in a range of contexts, so that I can properly assess the range of sounds available. Since getting the amp I have only used it a handful of times, pretty much with a different bass each time in a completely different context, so now that I have a stable setup (ha!) I will be able to assess it more easily. I have definitely found the compressor to be bang on for my needs, though - it's worked perfectly with everything I've thrown at it.
  17. Hi guys Just a heads up - I am going to enable two factor authentication as an option (but a strongly suggested one) for all members in the next few weeks. It is already mandatory for Admin, and will be rolled out with the Mod team soon as well. If you're not familiar, it'll mean that you'll need to carry out a second step when logging in (or carrying out any of the actions below) by one of two methods - either entering the answers to three security questions which you can set up yourself, or by using Google Authenticator which generates a code for you to enter on BC. If you're on Safari/MacOS you can also use the in built 2FA setting and use your fingerprint or Face ID (Windows may have an equivalent, not sure) Rest assured it's easy and helps secure your account which is becoming increasingly important. 2FA is required when: Changing email address - The user will also need to re-enter their password. Logging into the front-end from a new device Managing Authorized Devices Logging into AdminCP Updating two-factor authentication setup, changing the online status visibility, requesting PII data or account deletion. Changing password Logging into the front-end from a known device - This does not apply if the user is logged in automatically because they have used the Remember Me checkbox.

  18. No, I certainly haven't
  19. Don't know why but a refinish always puts me right off. Good job, otherwise I'd be much worse off!
  20. I'm fine with a slab Mustang, but found a slab Stingray a tiny bit tricky when seated. I had a flat top Bacchus jazz which had quite a sharp edge which wasn't very comfortable either. Belly cuts though - never seen the point. Maybe it's just me but the way I hold a bass, the belly cut is quite far to my right and not near my belly at all. I guess they save some weight, but if I actually put my belly there the bass would be wayyy too far to my left!
  21. Roland GK system, internal install Kaoss pad Sims pickups? Coil taps and phase switches Varitone control Might as well chuck some LEDs on there too
  22. Bought a Spectracomp from Luke, even during a house move he managed to find it and have his wife post it very quickly. Thanks to you both!
  23. Oh I’m not sure - just the WL20 for guitar/bass. As in not the L version (is that what you’re referring to as full range?) I’ll be using it with a passive bass 99% of the time so thought that was best.
  24. I have just bought a used Boss WL20 set so I'll give the a go. Generally love Boss/Roland gear so let's see.
