Have a look at the Sire sandblasted basses if you want light. Fenders etc can all vary as well. I have a Squier CV Jazz which is just over 9lbs, but that’s a 4 string.

Just be aware that's its quite heavy. Other than that, the Sire's are very well respected on here . I had one of the first ones. Other than weight it was fantastic.

Yeah, maybe not too obvious, but it was a joke. That's a really good price, id have gone for that over the Amazon price myself, although the 5 months interest free was really helpful.

It was a joke

Mine have just gone back to Amazon…..🤣

Ive used my A58's for 3 gigs so far. Not one issue. Very pleased with them.

I dont have a problem with flipping per say, but I know for a fact two of my basses have been resold on here over the years, at a higher cost that I sold them for (no issue), but as immaculate/no issues etc. When I sell something im pretty up front with any issues, and I price my gear to reflect this. It bothers me that someone has read my post, brought the item and then listed it with no mention of the issues and priced it higher. That to me is not on, but its also frowned on if mentioning these issues in someone else's sale, which I find frustrating.

Damn. I looked at that list, praying they wouldn't have the only bass I would consider buying, and yep, there it was. Happily its still more expensive than anywhere else so no go for me.

I did a small gig on Sat with just my GP-5. AMPEG Nam and footswtich turning on and off a Drive FX. I didnt even use the Chocolate foot switch as I didn't feel I needed any other FX. So impressed I can see me sticking with that for a while. Famous last words I know.

Couldn't agree more. Utter, utter garbage.

Ok, so ive got back from the pub after a few drinks. Mate wanted to watch it so we put it on. This time, a few more chuckles, especially the guy in the audience shouting out “do stone henge’ during the intro to stone henge 😂

I really have nothing good to say about it, well one. I thought the supporting cast were funny, but not one chuckle out of the bands on screen time. I felt embarrassed that I had made my wife sit through it.

Yeah, they sell the bass pack separately so it can be loaded on any of the existing devices.

.......being shut or ignored.

Yeah, I’ve used 6 in the past and it’s a much nicer room than 8. I’ve moaned about those speakers for a few years but they always say no one else has complained and can’t hear anything wrong with them. One is definitely lacking high end compared to the other. We used to use the same speakers in my old band and i know they could handle keys fine. I’ve used Mill Hill for many years on and off, but always took my owners rig. Now I’m at the mercy of the PA i hate going there.

Just on my way home from an awful one. We were at Mill Hill again and while it’s an ok rehearsal complex the PA in the room we were in is awful. As I’m playing keys it really put me off and i hated every minute of it. The band sound was ok, and we played well but i was pretty much just hitting bits of plastic in the hope it wouldn’t sound too bad.

I have both and feel exactly the same. Both good OD's, with the Mojo mojo to be on the more warm/vintage side, and the Spark to be more a pedal that gives more drive but doesn't really change the fundamental tone.

Sorry, missed your post. Thanks for the info.

yeah, I have other boxes that could sit in between but that would involve two foot switches. I didnt want to go to using 3 or more pedals. Going the single box, multi FX route instead but still not settled on what yet.

Yeah, I did end up getting one. it has a lovely rich tone, but also a noticeable volume increase.

I just cant settle on anything lol. Ive had the B2-four twice now. My criteria keeps changing, but always based on size (must fit in the pocket of my Bass gig bag). I too use public transport and can get everything i need in to the gig bag (obviously not amp or cab, but those are normally supplied). I don’t want to be taking a bag as well, otherwise id probably get something bigger, as you suggest. One min i don’t need any amp sims etc, and just want a good basic tone and a dirty tone (my EBS Microbass 3 does this so well), but then i got the the GP-5 just to see what all the fuss is about (on my second now but this one is staying), and this gives me modulation and amp sims etc, which ive been using, but its not a versatile as the Zooms. While ive been using the GP-5 with the Chocolate Plus controller, and it works perfectly when playing, it’s more a set and play device, which means tweaking is a pain at a gig or rehearsal. Saying that, i find i dont tend to waste time tweaking it when i should be playing. Thats been a god send, but it would be nice if i could make adjustments a bit easier on the fly. As all my home practice is with headphones i can be over critical. With a band anything ive had works fine, but at home i found the Zoom stuff lacks a bit of sparkle. The only thing thats now putting me off the Zoom’s is that i cant see any way of turning more than one block on and off with just the one footswitch. I could do this with my old Stomp, and can do it with GP-5. For example, turning on a phaser or chorus and EQ at the same time to help balance the tone and volume out is really useful. Same with OD/EQ etc. I did get the MS60B+ with the intention of using it just as a modulation pedal, along with the EBS, But then it became complicated as i had all the other things the MS60B+ could do, and i questioned if i needed to keep the MB3. But then the MS60B+ only has the one footswitch switch (i know it has the other flat ones), so that wasn't ideal. I will sell the MB3 soon, but god knows what I’ll own this time next week lol. Last year when i got back in to bass, and not wanting to got use FX, i went through 7 pedals in a couple of months.

Just a heads up. Very tempted to get one of these (again) at this price.

Having old just dug out my MODX7+ to use, then this comes along. I love the MODX, had a 6 and now a 7+, but of the past year been using soft synths. I think this is going to be change very soon.

Thanks, this is how I was thinking. Too much of a gamble. Im going to take my old set up of Mixer, small digital recorder placed at the front/centre of the stage and feed that back to my mixer. Then monitor both with IEM's. Not perfect and ill have my keys coming back in from the stage monitors, but this is how I used to set up before the got the XR18. I was thinking the XR18 would also work but it's more to set up.

Haha, yeah, that's quite a 'blanket' statement but possibly true. 😎
