Hey all As the subject suggests, I'm looking to Line 6 to deliver my effects options, but while the bass world seems to be agog with the HX Stomp of late, I'm not necessarily interested in amp/cab simulations - just effects. So.... Which unit should I be looking at? Thanks in advance

@GisserD will do - thank you kindly

Hi all Not sure where to post this, so @ped, I hope this is OK here... I have a rather old and beaten Carl Martin Compressor that is in dire need of some TLC. It needs to be rehoused into a plain, non-painted box and it probably needs a pot replacement for the gain. But who does this sort of thing in the UK? I had the box "trimmed" in order to fit a BOSS unit on top (in the days when I had LOTS of effects) and after years of gaffer tape over the dials, I think the gain pot went wonky - not sure actually. Anyway - in advance, MANY thanks all you lovely low end people - stay CV free!!!

Just bought an MXR M81 preamp pedal from Daryl and it could not have been easier, nor could Daryl have more accomodating. A pleasure to have done business with this gent! Thanks mate

Hey Jimbobothy... Great response, and that makes perfect sense. I was wondering, I think, how the BigShot fitted into everything.... Quick question re. the BassBone, as I use one currently..... If you use the TRS cable for the effects loop, and you have a tuner connected, how do you do muted tuning? I currently have a dummy jack in the loop so I can mute silently, but would rather use an effects loop, aaaaaaand be able to use a dedicated tuner output. Thanks in advance mate...

@BassBunny yeah, the labour involved will be me stripping things down, and yes, I might only be able to (for example) blacken the tuner "wings" - which would be OK I guess. The bridge should be easy enough to do,... I just need to find somepne who does this and be able to chat to them. I was thinking motorbike plating specialists - I guess they "clean" everything first to take things down to bare metal first as a matter of course.... not sure at all. Time to look at parts as an option now I guess

Very nice and slick - pray tell, what is your signal path?

Hi all, Not sure if this is the "right place" to post this, forgive me if it's not.... I play a Yamaha TRB6 and while the gold hardware is synonymous and somewhat expected with the TRB bass, I have always loved the black of Warwick Thumbs... so, with that in mind, (a) is it possible to black plate/etch/coat existing gold hardware, and if so, then (b) where in the UK (specifically London/Essex) can I get this done. BTW - the hardware is top notch, hence me not wanting to shell out for new tuners and a bridge. That may well be the only option - especially if the price to "change the colour" is stupid money. Anyway - thank you in advance

I have nearly 25 years of experience as a journeyman bassist for corporatr/function/cover bands and session work for playing for musicians and singers alike. I am based in Epping, available (£ dependant, will travel as needed) for work in the greater Essex into East and Central London areas. Great attitude, great gear. I read charts like a boss and can wade through Brown Eyed Girl without toomuch grumbling - so unless it's serious jazz, I'm your man!
