I'm looking for a high quality stand alone DI/preamp/cab sim type pedal and I saw my local cash generator has one for sale for what seems to be a reasonable price. From YouTube videos, it seems to be highly focussed on the crunchier end, however I wonder does it do super clean? A bit of switchable filth is always a positive however can it play nicely? Even the 'clean' examples on YouTube tend to be just on the edge of breaking up, which in my view isn't clean. 

Anyone had much experience on using it for a clean tone? Also, the cab sim is either on or off. Any thoughts on that?

Help much appreciated

I found my new 734a needed some extra foam under the P pickups as they were extremely loose. 

Yep, think I'll need to do that. Bizarre,  as the rest of the instrument is of excellent quality and finish but the pups are definitely poorly fitted!

Got a 734a delivered today. Not properly gave it a go but feels great! pickups seem a bit all over the shop though, very angled... wasn';t expecting that, and I dunno if thats the optimum!

 Oh dear. That's a pretty dispiriting list. Surely It's something of a struggle summoning up the enthusiasm to play these

It is on paper aye, but if the crowds good which they generally are, then it's all fun! 

Weird question I know. How flat is the neck set into the body? Is their a big distance between the strings just after the neck to the body or is it quite flat?

Also, any idea of age?

I'm a depper, and I've found almost every band will play the majority of these tunes. In Scotland anyway. 

Like everyone else I drive to the majority of my gigs these days so I wouldn't even have a pint, but for a gig down the local, then I'll happily have a few! 

That action looks incredibly low! Lovely looking bass, 

I'm wondering this myself because I've not looked at a band website in probably 10 years but one of the boys in a wee band I've tried to put together was adamant we needed one and spent 100 odd quid doing it.  I reckon we'll get a dozen views over the year and I find it hard to believe we'd lose our in bookings if we referred them Rob Facebook/Instagram instead. 

It's a piece of art. The back is as sexy as the front!

You must have younger eyes than mine, I need large print

 

Well the time it takes our drummer to line up a track, i think we need large print too!

We use a splitter cable from a mobile phone! I was expecting bleed but there's zero! Might be worth a pop over you're laptop 

Must admit, I don't know a great deal about this bass, but I took it in on a trade. I've gigged it once, and although its a very easy bass to play and sounds absolutely brilliant, I'm not a huge fan of the body shape so looking to move it on. I'm not desperate to sell though as it really is a cracking bass, but also happy to move it on if someone wants it, or if an interesting trade comes up. 

I was told this is an '06 model and I've no reason to disbelieve it. Has a few battle scars to the body but the neck and headstock seem in immaculate condition.  Electronically completely sound. The pickups look a bit weird in the photos however I've packed the insides with a little electrician tape just to get the covers slightly closer to the strings - personal preference and easily reversed. 

Comes with leather strap fitted with the recessed strap locks. No case or bag. Happy to package up if buyer arranges courier. 

Trades:  Fender aerodyne Jazz in candy apple red, or something with 2 humbucker size pickups.

think the ay to go is just to buy a matching stick of whats already in there and you'll be good to go.  I'm not an expert but i would have though 8gb would be pretty low these days anwyay?

Only scanned through so far but sounds tremendous!

Yes it's utilised on the headphone output. 

Is it also on the di out? 

I loved my lh500... Unbelievably clean and loud... honestly couldn't work out a context where I'd need an lh1000! That must be bone trembling! 

It's baffling how good a bass you can get for £1250!! That's incredible.

Look after your leads 

Don't fosters about on your instrument between songs 

Keep the set flowing, don't stop after every tune for a chat and a sip of your pint

Get ear plugs 

Keep stage volumes as low as possible 

Don't flip about at sound check

I'm sure there's plenty more. 

Think this is pretty normal, especially amongst musicians. As long as you enjoy the sound coming in, then it diesnt really matter why! 

I don't think I know a single song word for word all the way through, and I think it's simply the fact that I zone in on the guitar line, bass line, drum fills etc.. Even the melody, just not the words, 

2 basses

Spare strings

3 leads (one spare)

I mainly do dep weddings so I've basically got a backup of everything as it would be terrible for something to break! 

If you're driving, I don't see a problem taking this lot. It's basically a rucksack and two gig bags. One bass stays in the bag. 

I've had two basses fail and broke a few strings over the years so having a back up for a quick turn around just makes sense!

In HX edit you just go to the parameter/bypass assign thats at the top of the pedal section.

 

Doh! It was right in front of me! Cheers!

depending on your needs the other way to approach it would be with snapshots... 

Yep, which is how I use it on bass, but with guitar I was trying to use it more as individual pedals. I prefer a drive boost on the amp though over adding an extra distortion block. This works a treat! 

Cheers

Ye, go into the parameter edit mode, select the parameter and the footswitch thats controlling the parameter, then scroll once to the right and you get options for on and off values.

Cheers! Got it! Couldn't seem to do it via the pc software but works perfectly in unit itself! 

NEED HELP - I cant work out how to do this.

On my stomp, if you want to use it on stomp mode you've got the option to select a parameter within a block, for example an amp. I can then assign it two a footswitch, but when i press the footswitch it switches between 0 and 100%.  Is there a way (surely there is) that I can set it so that when its off its at a certain %, say 20%, and then switched on it goes to 40%? Basically I want to us an amp drive channel as a boost. Is this possible? I cannot work out how to do it.
