The Fishman is for my double bass, MicroBass II for bass guitar. I switch between them with the Mooer ABY.

I mention because the ebs microbass 3 has 2 inputs (and channels), sufficient impedance for a double bass, and then all the features of the Fishman except the notch filter and hpf

Anyway just a thought. I really liked the fishman though, eq is really musical and subtle

I've been downsizing from this:

Have you considered the EBS Microbass 3 I think that would get you down to wireless - ebs - out

Those fishman are lovely though.

This looks like it would fit

@ped you can trade in your full scale Dixon case for this more suitable options 😇 dibs

Really interested to know if that works out and if it fits between the rails on a pt nano

Can you power these from USB C?

Zoom MS-60B and use the A/B mode.

Honestly as an utter gear snob it’s far better than it’s priced at.

Tech 21 PSA is still on sale at Thomann

It sounds like the drive section is the winner. Reading the stuff on TB it’s a really nice drive

Yeah if you can just buy one and confirm for me

Mightier Amp now available on the App Store.

This is an independent app that apparently gives you more control over everything.

I’ve not had a play with it yet and not quite sure the benefits but I’m really hoping to never have to plug it into a laptop again

What basses, strings and type of music are you using your Capo with?

Wanted to update this. I’m still (pretty) happy with this unit. There is some noise, kinda high pitched digital noise but I can’t hear it when playing along to things.

I updated the firmware again yesterday, there is now a tuner (maybe there was before but they have it in the release notes) in the app and I loaded on a bunch of Shiftline IR’s which all sound great.

I can’t imagine a better, smaller tool. It’s my practice setup and in a pinch a recording interface. Overall it means the footprint of the gear I carry for these purposes is tiny.

Definitely going to be investigate additional IR’s…. oh and I found out I can drag and drop the fx blocks and ordering of them so I’ve started running compression post IR. I think it sounds better before the amp but it’s nice as a different flavour.

Input and output transformer.

Annoyingly the hpf is useless and I didn’t like the higher gain settings. So you’re paying a premium for a pedal you aren’t using all of.

But it is a neve strip in a box and you can DI into and out of it

I’ve emailed them 🙄… can’t resist any longer

I actually found a GT Brick in the US. So that has the XLR in and I’m just thinking….. I could run the ditto xlr out into the xlr in on the brick, that would add 2 tubes, an extra transformer and another 5kgs

Now I’m looking at the M-EQ, DCX and Cali and wondering I can put them in a loop switcher inside the pre and post loops of a capo to have like a full studio console that you can repatch live and would all fit on a pt metro16 or nano 😂

I need to try a colourbox again 😅

I'm loving their way of thinking, everybody's always chasing our favourite tones from the records, which was more likely achieved by expensive studio gear rather than humble pedals. I for one would be excited by a transformer equipped Neve  inspired pre 😍

 

I'd personally prefer to try the DCX first as £250 is a lot to drop when I know I won't use the heavy drive tones.

JHS Colourbox V2

Wait wait there is a pultec eq? From origin?…..

(Obviously I’ve just gone to Google that and really did not know that was a thing) dayum

Well theres been an 1176 a Pultec style eq and now a 610 pre so a Neve or API type unit would be a logical next pedal as they cover guitar and bass or any source 

Does it have a gigbag/case? and does the price include shipping?

But yes, sounds very very interesting

This demo sold me

I found the RNDI too clean, to the point it was bland.

I primarily play a Ric with flats, for years I used a countryman type 10.

Recently had the opportunity to try the Motown Di and directly compare it to the Neve, Countryman and a Radial Stagebug (passive).

I’d bought the stagebug as the cheap, smallest high quality di I could find with a view to have it in a gigbag for emergencies.

I bought the neve and wholly expected to sell the stagebug and countryman, maybe buy a Acme.

Results of my shootout:

I sold the neve

Bought 2 more stagebugs (one in each gigbag)

Kept the countryman

The stagebugs sound shockingly close to the Motown di.

The countryman is more open and clear without being boring.

I can pm you the Dropbox link with my very rough playing if you want to compare and decide for yourself.

But in short you do not NEED an active di for a passive bass. It does provide more headroom and a stronger signal but no Soundman will struggle with a passive instrument into a passive di.

Everything I found in my shootout was instantly wiped out as soon as they started turning on neve eqs and studio compressors etc.

There is a secondhand stagebug on bassdirect for £60 I would suggest you get that and see if you are left wanting on a gig.

Once you hack it to load all the ms70cdr sounds on 😅

Love it but as soon as I use a particle reverb I go down to 2 fx instead of 4 😂

Absolutely pains me to say a Zoom MS60b

I’m going to change to a 70cdr because I keep running out of dsp.

But after years of avoiding Zoom it’s an incredible box.

Really really annoys my snobbery

Sorry but what is that gigbag 😍
