Depends on what you want to use. I gig with a Helix HX-FX. I don't use patches, I just use it as 6 entirely separate effects that I turn on and off, with additional filtering, so I have overdrive, pitch up, chorus, reverb, long echo, short echo and also use it as a line in for a sample player. Our set is never in the same order and the song comes up often with no warning, which is why i don't want to search patches. So effectively It is like 6 stomp boxes (I have a couple of other boxes too). I have a B1-Four that I use in the house and when I am at practices and can't be bothered to take the pedalboard. And a B3n which.. sits around doing very little!

Strangely I seemed to have missed this last year, which is odd, I normally go for all the zoom boxes (still have a B3n that I have barely used and B1-Four). Sadly too big for me, I think the helix HX FX is safe, as I still can't be bothered to make patches, and they are too difficult for me to switch to at random!

Hmm.. some terribly offensive songs in there! Also seem remarkably old - are they not all from the 80s, or is that when they stopped making lists?

It was edited - they blanked out the line 'start a nuclear war'. Odd, I know.

No, I have never had too much dosh to consider leaving a job!

Well, I personally prefer bass to things, but I don't think it is as fundamental as some other music types. A lot of metal is very middly / guitar sludgy, and bass doesn't really help with that.

And so angered by it he decided to leave the band 13 years later!

Not sure what the issue is, a lot of people think it is one of their best albums (clearly it isn't) so if that is the case it obviously didn't need any bass on it. And it is hardly an injustice for Jason, he got paid just the same and I am assuming made a nice living on it.

For reference, I have no hum at all on the drive button on mine. Obviously there is more of whatever noise was going in due to the drive, but there is no additional noise introduced.

Even if you are 100% hard over in the red all the time you will be fine. You are not going to damage it.

No

Not a mistake, they are manufactured in china, like most of ashdowns amps, apart from the valve stuff which is made in the UK. They all go through the UK for assembly and testing.

well, turned out it was very good!

yes

Could do with a few more lights..

Mine is I suppose the same dry finish which I like. But it weighs a ton so it has to imagine it being neck heavy. The only one of my 5s that was in any way head heavy was the 1605, which had a very light body compared to all the others (not sure why as the back is the same in all cases), so I put hipshots on it. the only 6 I had was the GWB36, which didn't have neck dive. Of course it is, and I never said it wasn't

Because things cost money to make, but there are always chances to find stuff. I got a B-Stock ABM600 Evo IV last year in the black friday sale (ie, last last year, 2000) for £345 and all it had was one scratch on the tolex.

in the SR1xxx range there are a lot of colours (and woods). What do you call colour sensible?

Thats just taste though isn't it? I have gone through many basses, special and not, but my SRs have outlasted most of them and would probably be what I ended with when I downsized (although the EHB challenges that). I don't really need inspiring electronics, just something transparent and i find that they do that. They hardly have that many product lines, although they have many within each line. OK, in a world of fender and gibson where you basically get 2 or 3 basses in different colours it seems a lot, but it isn't really. Surprised on the comments of the 5006 though, I have a 5005, the b isn't dull (obvs no C) and its far from head heavy, maybe the other machinehead makes a difference but considering the weight of the body that is a surprise. Love the finish too, but then it is just wenge, and I love wenge so if you don't, you aren't going to like it!

I have 2 of the cuvave ones, they are pretty silent.

Yeh, I always say that about myself. Love the talman though, I have the 5 string one, although it is clearly built down to a budget

They do have all their cosm stuff in the SY1000

They have been going for a long while so I suspect they will have no problem. I am not planning on anything specifically but if a short multiscale EHB got near me I would be pretty keen. I hope the multiscale BTB style travels towards the SR range at some point.

I have one of those and they are great, love them.

Absolutely not. It is very simple to do a test to check that the final unit is working automatically, it costs next to nothing, and the return cost of it not working when it comes out is very high. It's not even caring, it just down to the bottom line.
