Might be worth a look at Cubase or Cubase Elements (dependent on budget) as it’s instrument to MIDI conversion through dedicated interface is perfect for what you may be looking for a DAW to do. I recall in 95’ my then college lecturer demonstrating this very process using a strat with MIDI pup installed and it mapped beautifully to Cubase.

For all the Mac users, let's not forget about GarageBand! Great bit software

Plus 1 on Logic, unbeatable for home use and pretty good value at £200.

Same here 👍 I’ve got an i7, 16gb, SSD & HD and NVidia 970 gtx gfx. Was up in running in minutes without a hitch.

Cakewalk is awesome. It is intuitive and very easy to set up. It’s also, an awful lot of program for no money. I have a PreSonus Studio 24c hooked up to my main PC, Cakewalk is absolutely flawless with it.

Two awesome free programs: ProTools First, https://www.avid.com/pro-tools Bandlab (previously Cakewalk), https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk All you need do is register to get both free with no time limit.

I noticed they rehired him.

How about Hipshot: https://hipshotproducts.com/collections/bass-tuning/products/hb3-bass-tuning-machine

Never noticed that, a good 3-4 hours away from me too.

Their returns policy is really good. Given the low weight of the TC cab, I decided to buy the BH250 because it fits in my gig bag pocket meaning I can travel by bus with the light cab and gig bag only, to any city gig.

Cool 😎 learn something new everyday 👍

The HB FRFR is a a guitar DSP, unsure if it’ll be any good for bass? Another easy remedy is, get a TC BH250 or Bam 200 to go with your cabs and just slip em into your gig bag or case.👍

I have one and adore it. It is perfect for home practice and small gigs. I have it paired with following amps: Hotone Thunder bass (5w), Ampeg PF50t, TC BH250 & Bugera BV1001t. It is perfectly fine with all of them and easily deals with the lower output amps. It is superb with the Bugera but I need to be careful as the Bugera is a monster and potential cab killer so, I keep it turned down. The BC208 sounds great, very clear with enough bottom end to ensure you have enough bass filtering through. 10/10 cab for me 👍😎👍

Why would someone pay £1900 for a bass the could buy new for £899? Am I missing something?

Sucks big time mate! Es macht mich sehr traurig! Ich komme aus Schottland.

It will be my next purchase providing I can get it past the missus 🤭

I haven't as yet but very interested. I like the look, layout and YouTube vids lol

I sold the 1600 on BC to an Irish fella who was collecting BBs, be interesting to see if the admins could track that sale down to ascertain if the fella is still a member or not. My feedback seems much less now than it used to be so, I can’t locate it there unfortunately.

On the 424 I had, I found either pup, selected individually, awful but were fine together. The 424 didn’t last long with me and unfortunately I sold the BB1600 too soon after. The 1600 was a far superior beast with no mud mush when selecting individual pups. But you all know what opinions are like …
