I bought this a few months ago from @ead and I'm moving it on. I'm buying a Marcus Miller V and I've only got room for the one!

J Type 5

It comes with a Black, Black pearloid, AND a new While Pearloid pickguard, and a really good padded gigbag too.

It sounds brilliant and the B string is to die for, but I've been after the Marcus for ages and I'm sacrificing this one!

I've got a Chowny. I love it.

Never really tried them. I tried some La Bella ones years ago and didn't get on with them at all. A month or so ago, I bought a bass from @ead of this parish, and when I was in his house he very graciously let me try a heavily reliced tele bass with flatwounds on. It was a revelation.

I bought some Rotosound Flatwounds and put them on my 4 string Limelight Jazz. Had my second gig with them on tonight and I'm sold. 

I feel slinkier? Is that a word?  I play very staccato funk type stuff with this band and I've always chased a kind of Marcus Miller tone (the Little Marcus Head and Cab just scream that tbh) and bizarrely, this is the closed I've got to it in feel I think. Obvs the tone is different, but I'm still happy. I sound like me.

Isn't that what we're all after?

Anyway, flatwounds FTW.

Added some pictures. 

My mate in school had one of these. 1984! 

God I'm old.

GLWTS!

I've just upgraded to the rackmount 18i20 so this is surplus to requirements.

Perfect condition (it's not left my desk) and comes with the box and PSU (the box is on top of the wardrobe (I think!)).

It is just over 1 year old.

SOLD!

Perfect nick, with the power supply. Just don't need it any more since I've gone with a Helix.

No box.

Pick up preferred, but will post at the buyer's expense.

I managed to fix it last night.

I played it with the control cavity open until it did it again. I then just poked around inside to see what impact it had. The Bass/Treble/Mid controls are all on the same pcb with pin connectors. The pins were apparently a little bit loose. It pulled them of then reseated them and it has stopped happening.

I took it to rehearsal this morning and played for two hours without it reoccurring.

Thanks for your suggestions guys!

Right, I've got an ACG with an Easy Uni-Pre 4k in it. I can plug it in, and play for about 15 ish minutes, and then it just fades out. Pulling the tone to passive works but when I switch it back to active, it stays off.  Removing the lead and then putting it back in fixes it for another 10 or so minutes.

Also, I can make it do it sometimes by pulling the Bright pot to on.

I thought it was the battery, but I've changed that to no avail.

Any ideas?

Bought an ACG Jazz from Alain today. Marvellous all round, an absolute pleasure to deal with. 

D6

3 hours straight of funk and soul.

God I love my wireless gear. Bass and IEMs.

Cor! 

Does that price include shipping?

Great stage setup. I bet that was a real buzz. 

 

I think I'd die of anxiety before I got within 40 yards of the stage. 

 I was nervous as hell on the day before, but was ok on the day itself. Had a nightmare just before hand where my wireless rig was getting too much interference, so I had to go wired at the last minute.

At Mostly Jazz in Birmingham yesterday.

Our last gig before this was about 250 people at Edinburgh Jazz Bar on Burns Night 2020.

Amazing gig, just going to be a different vibe this one!

It's a big festival and my band have been put on the main stage. 5000 people.

My last gig was a wedding a few weeks ago. (Different band obviously)

Gulp.

The question is has @owen had a response yet to his request for a 5 string version?  

I would buy a 5 string version in 5 seconds flat.

Full review to come, but I bought it from BassDirect on Friday morning, and gigged it at a wedding I was depping at on Friday night. 

It is spectacularly good.

The simplest thing is to put the C4 into the Stomp FX loop and independently control the C4 patches with a DMC controller going into the C4 USB input. Your iPad>Bluetooth> Stomp 'Midi in' commands would be unaffected (but it also means it wouldn't affect the C4 - other than changing Stomp patches that could do things like turn the FX loop on/off).  

Alternatively, I think it is probably possible to go iPad>Bluetooth> Stomp 'Midi in'> Stomp 'midi out/through' > Neuro hub > C4 and have the iPad software programmed to send midi messages that change Stomp presets while also being fed through the 'midi out/though' to also change C4 presets at the same time. I haven't done that though so I don't know exactly how to go about doing it. 

 

 

Nah the bottom one is the way I was thinking. Just you saying it too is good. I'll give it a go, see what happens!

Hope someone can help. I've got a Stomp that I control using bluetooth midi connector to my iPad. Change the song in BandHelper, it changes the patches. Pretty straight forward.

Now I want to introduce a C4 Synth pedal into the mix. I know I will need some kind of USB Host for this to connect the Stomp and C4, but what would the wiring need to be for the iPad to carry on working? 

This is the bluetooth adapter I'm using.

Good lord!
