This look quite cool. I do all my home playing using headphones, but I quite fancy this to noodle on when the family are out. https://www.thomann.co.uk/joyo_ba_30_micro_bass_amp_white.htm?srsltid=AfmBOorOmjq8Tw1bwMWrWG4EeWgiHubdmTQVKqi-ubA5aP97cv6qPGGBrY4

Haha. to be fair they were black, I was playing keys so stuck at the back, and it was a Walkabout pub where you aren't even allowed in if you're sober

I posed about this in another thread, but I once turned up to a gig with the wrong bass. It was one I had swapped pups out with and had just put the pups from the other bass in to this bass as a place to store them. The whole bass needed wring with gaffer tape at the gig.

I still have nightmares about the time I gigged in lycra cycle shorts. WTF was I thinking 😂

Thanks for the replies. Budget can be upped if needed, but to be honest i cant imagine anything better than the Blood Moon i already have. It works of battery if needed, has 3 knobs and from what i can remember its deeper and more lush than anything i got out of the TCE Helix or previous Phasers. Im just using it for a gentle bit of movement on a few songs so dont need anything with loads of features.
-
I just remembered i still have a couple of Zoom multi FX. I guess i might give those a go. I can then program in a volume change.
-
Yeah, just a bit lol.
-
Thanks. Ive had the Source Audio stuff in the past but never really gelled with them. Too many options, and quite expensive.
-
No question they have their uses, but a few years ago we were all convinced we HAD to get one to hear a big improvement. Many found they had no need for one. -
I recently got a Blood moon from TC Electronics and love it, but there is an increase in volume when engaged. Can anyone recommend one that has a level control at a below £100 price point? Ive had a TCE Helix before and liked that, can't remember if that would do the trick or not. I just want one that I can set the output level on when it's engaged. Thanks.

Assuming you had an audible issue with handling noise and thump in the first place. This was the issue I didnt have, but was convinced I did.
-
Ive never felt that either, but I do get caught up in the hype sometimes, especialy if it's something I feel could benefit me. HPF's definitely one of them. There have been times where im just reading posts and see a throw away comment of something and it just clicks, I have to get one. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not.

A few more. Sadowsky DI. Does it actually do anything? Had it and quickly sold it after finding out it was pants. I read so much about how among it is, maybe mine was broken 🤔 KZ IEM's. Didnt like the sound, didnt like the fit. More drivers the better also seems to be a myth.
-
Yeah, those two in the Nux work really well. The Nux is the first time ive been happy with using IR's. I only want the IR for home use, but I have used it with a rig and it sounded great.
-
Funny enough I got the SGT-DI to replace the Nux, but after 30mins I decided it wasn't for me. I had a noise issue with my wireless system and at the time put it down to the SGT-DI being faulty (its wasn't), but also wasn't too keen on the tone. The Nux was almost perfect for me, but I wanted more control over the drive side. IT works well but its a blend and its a bit tricky getting the drive to not increase the overall level by much when engaged. I got the MB3 on a whim, it's not one id thought of before, but ive been very happy with it. No noise issue at all for me, and I do all my home practising with headphones at home so would notice it. I still think for home/headphone use the Nux is better for me, as it has the IR's, so that's when I use it. It's small so sits on my desk. Id be happy to use the MB3 for this as well though. I thought the MB3 looked quite boring before getting it, im used to using a BDDI which is quite coloured, but with the Nux and MB3 I can finally hear my bass properly. The MB3 isn't clean to my ears, it's still got a bit of roughness to the clean channel although that might be the bass. Ether way, very pleased with it.

Anyone remember the Sue Ryder bass frenzy years ago? That was BC hype in full swing 🤣
-
Oh yeah, BF cabs. Had a couple. They seemed nice but i didn’t keep either long. Looking back i think i assumed they were fantastic even though i didn’t personally like them much. Oh and i guess a big one is FRFR. Couldn’t wait to get away from that one.

A Bass. I wanted to be a bass player so figured that's a good thing to own......😂 Compressors -BC flavour of the month to blame. HPF - BC flavour of the month to blame. This to me was the biggest item of the Emperors new wardrobe. A Pedalboard - Didnt realise I needed one until I got a few pedals (see above). OD/ Fuzz / Synth - Made me forget I wanted to play bass parts. Tubes - Not sure why I even considered these. After an almost 4 year gap from bass, I now realise all I need from the above list is the Bass. Admittedly I have Drive and Comp in my Microbass 3, but these aren't required for me to enjoy playing bass.
-
I LOVE that pedal. Really nice tones, has 3 built in amp sims and 8 IR's, which to my ears are better than anything else ive used IR-wise. I sent my firs tone back as I wanted to try other things, but quickly realised I made a mistake. Recently got an EBS Microbass 3 to replace the Nux (this has drive and comp), but decide dot keep the Nux anyway, and find I use it more ay home than the EBS.
-
Yes, i feel the same. From the IEM’s I’ve owned or tried, more was definitely not better for me.
-
I use comply tips all the time. Even on my airpod pro’s.
-
Same here. KZ's have no use to me as the fit is terrible.
-
I too have been going this route recently. As much as I love my headphones, and they are easier to take on and off if I get interrupted, I fond my IEM's to sound 'better' when im playing along at home. I think my headphones might be a bit too flat for general music.
-
Andertons have become my first port of call (after Amazon) for music gear. Good prices and ive sent a few things back over time and it's always been smooth, quick and hassle free. One day I will go and visit them as they aren't too far.

Ive always liked Chorus on bass, in the right songs, but recently I rediscovered phaser, and, oh my.........😂 Still got a Boss CB3 at home, and have had various Chorus pedals over the year, but now I use phaser in a lot of songs that I really shouldn't 😇
