My thumb never goes above the a string (I think) so the e and a are muted by the thumb more or less all the time. Sounds like it's an issue worth fixing in my opinion!

They pop up 2nd hand for as low as 300. Brilliant. Footswitch, case and possibly even a spare power cable are must buys in my opinion. Also a balanced jack to XLR cable could come in handy too!

I had an Hb jazz briefly. Played and sounded great, but was just too heavy.

Embrace to space! Don't always feel the need to fill it. Have a good thick tone as a starting point and go from there. Alot of 'techniques' folk use to fill out sound end up having an opposite effect in live situations - the derrière can fall out the overall sound quite easily if the bass deviates too much!

to me that sounds very much like a generic fuzz pedal with blend and the tone rolled off on the bass.

Only thing to consider is if 3 pedals is enough. You can connect controllers too if you need more but might not be for you. Sound wise it's brilliant. If individual pedals sound better then it's negligible, and not worth the need for a traditional pedal board! I'm thinking about picking up a 2nd one if I see one cheap!

Assuming the drummer keeps going, just lock a groove with the beat. Nae need for big show off pieces. A 16 bar bit of just drums and bass finely connected is a thing of beauty. Maybe not a true solo. But the best option in my opinion!

I had one and loved that! It worked perfectly for the project I had at the time. I had a wammy on the sidey way pedal, think it was a distortion blend on the up/down pedal.

I put a bit before and after!

I can't go straight into the amp because I almost never play into an amp. Any opportunity not to take an amp to a gig, I'll do it! Gigging life is so much easier and enjoyable with digital amp sims and iems!

i had a non export model for years. Great bass, although the original jazz pickup was really weedy. I regret selling mine. I mean, i really regret... so much so i asked the guy if i could buy it back.

Funnily enough, I had these thoughts before I bought the standard stomp. But, still went with the standard with view to buying a midi controller. Simply because the bread and butter gigs (ie 99%) are basic bass gigs where I use little or no fx. The small form factor was the main benefit of it. There's one project I've got going, could be doing with a larger footswitch selection. So, for me, the HX stomp on its own is what I'll use, but for occasional use, ill crack out a midi controller to accompany it when required! My guitarist mate just recently bought the HX XL, and it's excellent! Just a bit overkill for my use 99% of the time.

I'm sure it's been asked before... But.. What midi foot controller are we all using on the hx stomp? I'm looking for one with 4 to 6 buttons, basically to use as a break out box for individual pedals. Don't need anything fancy, no real need for Led displays and whatnot and ideally it would be more or less the same size as the hx stomp itself. Any thoughts?

Anyone use their hx stomp as an iem amp? Bass into left input, headphone mix into return/aux in. Put a send in the 2nd last block, then a return in the last. Plug your iems into the headphone output and send your bass output to foh from the send. Would mean you could control the blend between of the bass Vs rest of mix via the stomp. I've not tried it in practice yet, but should work in theory. Obviously the negative is you use up 2 block's but to be honest, the gigs I'd be using this on would be gigs where I'm not doing anything particularly exiting withfx anyway! Any reasons why this wouldn't work?

Are the pickups on these not quite normal size, so it's not quite as simple as popping in non-original pups? Routing required perhaps I'm sure my blazer is like that, perhaps the roadster is the same?

Another vote for these! When mines break. I'll be getting another set Edit: sorry mine are the ,206s, but seem almost the same

If the crowd are up dancing and singing along, I'll play anything! It only gets depressing when you're playing stinky poo tunes, and the crowd is flat!

Too loud then!

See if you just train yourself into a habit of curling them up tidily after every use, your cable woes will disappear! Get some velcro cable ties and it means when you pull them out the next time you need them there all tidy! Makes a big difference!

I used the 20 quid behringer whammy clone pedal for years... I only needed the effect for about 20 seconds of the set so was a bit reluctant to spend a fortune. Done the job perfectly! Don't get me wrong, it didn't feel premium in in shape or form, but didn't feel like it would fall to bits! Ive had loads of behringer stuff over the years, bass amps, guitar amps, mixers etc... I wouldn't have a problem buying behringer in the future!
