    I like red basses, i just find the Squier’s fiesta red to be a bit of a weak red.

    Cheers. Ive never gelled with the colour. I just don’t find the bass attractive, but ive always seen past that as it plays so well. I had my CV jazz neck on it for a while and it played and sounded as good as my Lakland Duck Dunn.

    I love the drive feature on my Fender Rumble 800HD head. Its quite warm and organic. Ive got a Stomp so loads of effects on tap, but still prefer the dirt tone this head gives me over anything in the Stomp. At least for low level drive stuff.

    Ive got these at home. I originally got them for the bottom of my TC RS212 cab that doesn't have any feet, but ive since put them on a couple of heads as well. They are larger than normal feet but i feel the extra area might help with vibration. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D92FQXS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Thanks. Never thought I’d sell it, but i love my Fender so much i know i wont use this again.

    Not used this for a while so no need for it to sit around any longer. I brought this new the year it came out, around 2009 IIR, and gigged it quite a bit for a couple fo years. It has been well looked after though, and there are no issues. The neck is a dream to play, if you like thin fast necks of course. This has the smaller frets that Squier stopped doing for the latest versions. A small amount of buckle rash on the back, and a few pits on the front, but no sign of the paint wearing off or showing through. All minor surface stuff. Ive put a Dimarzio DP122 in it, along with a Gotoh 201 bridge. I wasn’t keen on the stock string spacing of 20mm, and i wanted the bass to have a bit more character. It has a lovely growl to it, but still with a proper P bass thump. Still closer to a P than my Yamahas. It has a nice low action, and no fret buzz for my plying. Not 100% sure what the strings are, definitely some form of XL’s though, but who cares, im sure you will put your own on. The PG is a bit messy, but again, it only has surface marks and no cracks or breaks etc. Using my luggage scales it comes in between 8.3 and 8.5lbs. Not looking for trades, but open to very near offers. Too many basses for a keyboard player so i don’t need any more thanks. Not going to post as i dont have confidence in my packing, but i will include a soft gig bag. Meet up in central london.

    Mine always does. I wasn’t aware you could change that. I don’t use the other modes though. Maybe it remembers the last mode?

    I had 3 of these heads at the beginning of the year. I sent them all back as i felt they had defects i couldn't accept on a head costing this much, but all had those low feet on them. Had I kept one i had planned on putting slightly taller rubber feet on it. I didnt feel the GK ones gripped too well.
  9. dave_bass5
    Selling these two as ill never need them. Both working perfectly and with boxes. Both have Velcro on the bottom but ill include 4 stick on feet with each. Looking for £40 each, inc Uk mainland posting, or £75 for the two. EDIT: Spectracomp sold

    This thread is in the Bass guitar section 😏

    Must admit i go through phases of not wanting to play at home. Same reason as the OP, i know my bands set well enough (more than they do), so i dont bother playing those at home. I do enjoy learning songs for myself though, but have to be in the right frame of mind. During lockdown ive hardly touch my basses. Took about a month before i picked one up, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Then out of the blue i thought I’d by a synth. Ended up getting two in June and not touched, or want to touch a bass for a long time to come, but i know i will at some point and i know ill enjoy it. Funny how GAS hits you.

    I love this band. Wouldn’t say some of their versions are better than the originals, but i love their take on some of them. Nice easy listening with a good groove. The bass player’s head is a mystery. I can’t believe it hasn’t fallen off yet 😂
  13. dave_bass5
    Same. Sometimes a kick start is all thats needed, and a new bass can give you that.
  14. dave_bass5
    Yeah, but I’d say it as probably one of the most used on mobile devices, even if it isnt the best.
  15. dave_bass5
    Cheers. Like i said, not a big deal, just thought I should point it out. Strange how it only seems to effect one browser. In a years time when i update my sig ill check to see if its fixed 😂
  16. dave_bass5
    Can’t imagine they would specifically take out options just in one browser. I could understand if the feature just wasn’t there in any browser. Not the end of the world though.
  17. dave_bass5
    Yep, its a lovely, but heavy bass. Probably going to outlast my P34. The 425 is definitely a hotter sounding bass. Lots of growl and kick. The P34 is smoother and more ‘mature’ sounding.
  18. dave_bass5
    This was exactly how i used, and looked on my HFX. IIR i only had 3 ‘boards’, and two of those were identical, with one having just different foot switches assigned to the effects. I like to keep the most used on the front row.
  19. dave_bass5
    Open to near offers, no trades though.
  20. dave_bass5
    Fair enough, i found it funny. I tend not to click on links i dont have any interest in or would find offensive. I assume this thread will be deleted by the mods?
  21. dave_bass5
    I came across this recently. Couldn’t agree more with it.

    Just tried to update my Signature in Safari on my ipad and I’m missing most of the formatting options (font size, colour, etc). They are there for posting in the Forum, but not for creating or editing a signature. No issues with Chrome on the same device. Not 1st world issues, just thought I’d point it out.
  23. dave_bass5
    You might find they sounds ok in a mix though.
  24. dave_bass5
    You can turn the output level up for each patch using the output block at the end of the chain.

    Ive got one of the small cheap 2 switch boxes, and although it works well i was put off by the fact that it doesnt have LED’s or any visual indication that i have hit the switch. Obviously the screen on the Stomp sill show this, but is hard to read sometimes, especially when standing up at a gig. I ended up getting one of these. Its not perfect, nor dirt cheap, but the LED gives piece of mind that i did something. Its also a bit more stable if just sitting lose on the floor and not on a board. The way i plan on using it is to just use one as a 4th Stomp footswitch, and the other changing channels on my amp. The HFX can already do this of course. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000RW2A0O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
