Dave Gilmour, saw him play bass with Sam Brown in the mid 90's B

[quote name='Iain' timestamp='1493588172' post='3289330'] I had a HD500X before the Helix. For pub gigs there's not all that much in the tone really but the Helix is massively more usable - Scribble Strips, Snapshots... make a big difference. For my use the quality in sounds is less important. [/quote] [quote name='dood' timestamp='1493931242' post='3292007'] I have all of my pedals out on the floor at the moment trying to decide what's going to be the best option. Do I really need the LT? - well, I would LOVE to get a pair of FR800's and the LT. That would be me done really I suppose (love that volume control on the top panel!!) - but that purchase is going to be a very, very distant dream! [/quote] Thanks Iain, the sound is the most important for Me not sure I need the fancy stuff Squabble? Snapshot? -- So the sound quality is similar??? Dood what are FR800's??? Brendan

Status do a 25,35,55,75,95,120 hotwires set

[quote name='binky_bass' timestamp='1493273565' post='3286985'] If you want to stick to just playing 'bass' then.. I can tackle lead if need be and provide a higher register ... More flexibility, more options, more noise. Basically sir, to each his own. [/quote] This Plus a 1000 B

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1492937365' post='3284170'] I'd love to compare a Helix LT against my HD500x. [/quote] Yeah I too wish someone would do this! B

That's stunning, DiMarzio PU's ?? So glad it worked out for You (followed other thread) Brendan

[quote name='MisterT' timestamp='1492034797' post='3277457'] Nevermind all that... MICK! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W14YmRABFFg[/media] [/quote] Wow thanks for that. Never seen it before, He puts some of the Dali's Car riffs in there! B

[quote name='mikel' timestamp='1491838847' post='3275770'] Poor little mite, that's bordering on abuse. [/quote] LOL that's the first thing I thought! B

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1491753748' post='3275166'] Have you tried STATUS? I don't personally like there strings but you might and I think they do custom sets or maybe Pm our very own dood I think he gets strings made up for his 7 string [/quote] I think Status have stopped doing Flat & Halfwound !!! Which is a crying shame (their old halfs were great!!!) B

It will be interesting to see if You can find someone who can supply the Hi F (is it a 20?) string in flatwound. Have You considered halfwounds? maybe more options? Brendan

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1491817888' post='3275516'] [/quote] I Love the DX7 B

P.S some cool Bass stuff in the examples on the L6 website... B

Oh that's good to hear, the website makes it sound complicated (I didn't read all the blurb) I was worried it sounded like a complete reset was needed! (If You do that to a HD500 You have to reprogram the ex-pedal, etc.) If it can do the different output to XLR or Jack (amp sims to PA not monitor) then I am starting saving!! B

Ahh this might make Me "Vor Sprung Dork", better price, would suit My needs. The software still seem like a faff though when You read the info on Line 6 download site!!! ???

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1491302702' post='3271913'] I paid £200 each for my secondhand Rickenbacker 4001's in 1980/81, one of them was a checkerbound/horseshoe/toaster pickup model. In the mid 80s I nearly bought a mint condition used Wal twin neck with case in a music shop in Birmingham for £399. That's what the prices were back then, comparing them to what the same things sell for now is just masochistic. [/quote] To put things in perspective though we bought (mortgaged) a new 3 bed house in 1981 for 11 grand!! Nice nostalgia though Steve -- Bass Centre was cool back then!?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1491154929' post='3270871'] Water, cranberry juice, banana and packet of ready salted crisps should sort this. [/quote] This was part of the great Man's rig -- Cycle bottles on mike-stand one Cranberry one Water!!! B

Wow, He really is still using an (out of production) Trace Elliot rig!! Cool Dude -- Top Player & Craftsman B

I would say -- "No Don't Clean It!!!" B

IMHO They are all too expensive!! B

Hi lechirons, if your Status is standard it will have 18mm spacing (unless original owner had custom spacing.) As others have said there are a good many 14mm & 12.5mm space 6 strings in Ibanez range. Brendan

Skybone -- How do You amplify Your HD500? Do You go into the front of Your Amp? Do You change the unit from Studio Direct? ect I really want to get happy with mine! B
