For the past two years since I took on a life of travelling most of my musical output has been jam nights and let me say they are categorically the most difficult and least rewarding musical endeavours one can do. Your points and takeaways are all valid but I would suggest you look at a different output. Since my last jam in Houston, Texas playing 12 bar blues for over an hour (keep that in mind as that’s the output, playing the same 3 chord shape in different places for over an hour), I got loads of compliments, but I absolutely fluffed a slow blues because it was that slow I thought something more complex was going on than just going to the 4th for the 2nd bar instead of a standard arrangement 🙄, drummer just crushed me afterwards by saying “I guess you don’t play the blues very much” Let me tell you, that stung, even though not 10 minutes earlier I had a an old proper bluesman tearing it up on hammond tell me those were some tasty licks, fist bumps from the drummer, lapsteel player come up between songs to tell me how great it sounded, yadda yadda And I’d nailed a more complex song earlier because the guitarist told me oh this has a flattened 5th in the turn around, whereas slow blues guitarist just half arsed counted off some of the changes occasionally. My outcome from that is I’m not doing jam nights anymore, I prefer a more controlled environments but my lifestyle doesn’t suit playing in a band. So I’m going to ‘hire’ some session musician friends and jam in a studio, this solves all my issues with jams and quite honestly gigs. Because everything you’ve mentioned for the night going wrong I’ve experienced. My biggest pet hate is we somehow seem to accept hearing ourselves or the band a luxury in the gigging world. Every pro musician will tell you the best was to learn is go out there and play with lots of people, but we assume that has to be in front of people, it doesn’t. You can go have a lesson with a drum teacher, guitar teacher, piano etc etc and basically pay to play with them for the hour. You don’t NEED a band and you don’t NEED to be going to jam nights but you do NEED to be playing with people, lots of ways to do that though 😉 My favourite thing to tell people from my Open Mic experiences (because you can imagine how many people want to play with you when you turn up with a double bass) Me: What key are we in Singer Songwriter: Erm well this string is down 2, this string up 4, these two doubled, then I’m capo’d 11 Me: Right What followed was a number of chord changes that would embarrass a prog musician as overplaying. The expectation that we can just follow this song they’ve been perfecting in their bedroom for the past 7 months when they don’t even know what they’re playing 👍🙄 Finally, don’t forget you’ll never struggle to find a gig as a bass player 😇

First just for fun fx I’ve got in a long time. Can’t even begin to explain how they sound. Burned 2 hours making noises this afternoon, weekend will be destroyed by these 😂

Yeah we’ll just miss each other I’m there in a month. Both places are great and really friendly crowds

https://jamboreejazz.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/marulacafe/?hl=en https://marulacafe.com/bcn/ Been to both, both have killer jam nights, musicians get in free for jam nights assuming you have an instrument on your back or your Spanish is good enough. Marula is more cutthroat than Jamboree but if you can get on stage the class of musicians is top notch. When do you go? I’m in Barcelona for a week in March (bass in hand ready for these jams)

Also would reduce the time it runs on AA batteries for, one of the main reasons I have 3 of the older model is the fact I can just throw it on the floor and play. As long as these still allow you to move fx between units I’ll be happy with them. I fgot a MS100BT yesterday and I’m starting to think all I want over the stock bass unit is the Particle Reverb.

God knows what this is Prime S1

Oh and you’ll note it has a headphone volume control

I feel bad I’m always hijacking this thread for stuff that isn’t the P1, but not enough to stop. Valeton have a bunch of multi’s I can find very little on but also released a Mini bass dapper. I think it’s smaller than the Sonicake Boom Ave and it does have a tuner (it’s kinda hidden but it’s there). Octave would have been better than Chorus but the guitar versions of these go for around £60 so 🤷‍♂️ bargain. (I also sent an email to Mooer asking if they were releasing anything bass related for the P2…. I don’t expect a response)

Oh…… did not know this, thought it was just a freeze….. now I want one 🙄🥲

All the wins https://youtu.be/9wvbQYjK6OU?si=NTYRbCDNx-dBw69K 60b+, 70cdr+, ms80ir, along with what we’ve already discussed

Well I went back through this thread recently as I found myself longing for a P1. That manual also doesn’t list any bass fx but they are in there, so honestly who knows. The Zoom, this is the 2nd in this new format they’ve announced. So there is 50g+ which does 4-5 effects and is a direct replacement to the 50G. I’m anticipating a Bass, Modulation and Delay/Reverb one coming out in the next few months. Still won’t have a headphone out but everything else is an improvement for gigging.

Oooooor https://www.mooeraudio.com/products/199.html XLR’s, built in batteries, probably all the same issues we’ve had with P1 and P2’s 😂 but new and shiny shiny. Zoom just released this so I think more is coming soon https://zoomcorp.com/en/us/multi-effects/multistomp-pedals/ms-200d-plus/ Maybe one of them will tick all the boxes. A week on of essentially going back to the MP2 I’m frustrated by the lack of volume controls on the unit, the poorer battery life…. but it does sound better than the MP Pro 😂

I don’t think I ever turned A off 😅 Well one more thing to try with it 😂

Can you use it solo? I just thought it was a > b or b > a and a do you want you sound louder or grittier. I use it as a boost. But I’m on fairly limited time with it clearly

I have one I will pay you to take, literally name your price

And in this case you can move the fx loop any where in the chain on the helix which gives you a lot more flexibility. Also if you can get an XPND or Nano+ so your pedals aren’t sideways I’d greatly appreciate that 🙏

You’ll have to get in line

My hobby is helping people spend their money.

Then I would guess it would just fit on a nano

HX One will work as a tuner

I have Zoom multi fx’s to scratch the itch of things I want or think I want. I’d suggest you look at the HX One, it’ll do your chorus for now and your comp when you change your mind in the future.
