Just by looking at it I don't understand why they've called it the Simplifier, unless it's a cruel joke.
I think they mean its simple as its all buttons and switches not digital programming on a screed.

Cut cheese with the G string, stock strings rarely stay on any new bass, like tyres on a brand new 🚴 bike!
Well the strings seem to have settled in, warmed up a bit now, not as thin and zingey give them a reprieve until my new set of Newtone strings arrive.

Well known top rated synth pedal with separate Bass/guitar switch.
Fantastic pedal if you are looking for synth sounds.
Only ever used at home, all original box and mint condition.
Open to collection or can meet and great as i travel a-lot at work, so please feel free to ask. (not south east/west)

Stock strings are usually Sandberg 40-100 so not particularly heavy.

Decided to pull the trigger on this, arrived today. New to Sandberg, wanted a new Fender Jazz to replace a Mexican deluxe a regrettably sold 3 years ago, but heard good things about Sandbergs and having shopped around saw this in sale at Bass direct (Bit of a bargain)

Congrats, it seems a very good bass. Despite the adjustments I think that it's better that a mexican jazz bass.
Real picks will be welcome, thanks for posting

had a quick run-though, one issue/possibly, it seemed a bit quiet, noticed the pick ups specially the neck was very low only about 2mm above the body and bridge maybe 4-5mm figured this was not right? So lifted them both 2-3mm higher and it sounded allot better., enough that I had to role volume back bit when boosting pre amp to about 75%
strings look like Daddarios but label says Sandbergs own brand, can anyone confirm, they seem a bit on the higher tension side might have to change them, see if they bed in.
add some real photos later, its much more yellowy:butterscotch than the stockings photo (not in a bad way)https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/sandberg-electra-ii-tt4-creme/

Ive just discovered the prize drive(Noble overdrive)
wow! thats the the best drive on the Helix for bass on the Helix, can do subtle boost, tubey overdrive to full on distortion and holds the low end easily.
why have I missed this up to this point?

Two notes, revolt or le bass,
mid prices high quality and versatile multi channels, get what sound you want, great clean channel, bit of grit if you want all the way to higher gain if required.

I was in a band in about 1988/9 that did a cover of a Zodiac Mindwarp song. I have never heard the original and I never really knew what the song was called. It’s been bugging me for years!
This is the first time I have ever come across anyone that even knows of the band.
Great band, semi parody or serious who knows, superb debut album bot a dud track on it.

And don't forget, Alice Cooper's epic-sounding "Feed My Frankenstein" is actually a Zodiac Mindwarp cover.
Not a cover, Zodiac wrote it/co wrote it for Alice and fid his/their own version as well.

Or to be precise nuck-nuck-nuckin' on heaven's daw-aw-whoaw. A rare case of where he Dylan original is 100 x better than a specific cover.
+ 1 for Judas Priest's risible Johnny B Goode and I'll add their execrable 'Green Manalishi'
+ 1 for Metallica's Whisky in the jar
No mention yet of Jagger and Bowie's atrocious Dancing in the Street nor of the woeful Aerosmith take on Come Together. Then again Aerosmith have been terminally shyt3 so perhaps they didn't know any better.
Green Manalishi is epic The original is dark n broody but Priests version is sensational see also Diamonds and Rust. Give you Jonny b goode

Sorry, should have used an irony emoji. It is a Dylan original.
Dylans version of all along the Watch Tower is utter crap compared to Hendrix’s original !!!!!!

The Disturbed version of Sound of Silence is a better rendition of the words. They're very powerful words and the original S&G version has either been got at by the film producers or sung deliberately like that for some reason. I'm not up with 60s protest songs and that part of US history is a bit difficult to understand.
Although I think the Disturbed version is trying too hard to be different. A lot of the phrasing and some tuning has been changed in an effort to make it different. Probably didn't need to do that.
Another one i like, like the original and this for different reasons
