I can't believe this hasn't sold yet.

Although not the Cube combo, I've been using a GR 350 head and 2x8 (4 ohm) cab for all our rehearsals and small gigs (pubs, small local theatres and street parties) with no problem at all.  

I’ve spent a fair amount of time crafting a ‘virtual’ rig with my Helix

Stomp …. It’s become what I now consider to be my sound for the band I play for. 

I've been using a GR Bass Mini One: https://www.grbass.com/portfolio/mini-one/.

Aux In and Headphone jacks, but still 350w.

What type of picks do you usually use ?

Dunlop tortex .73mm (basically what I used to use to play guitar with).

I'm going to try some slightly heavier picks with the grip mouldings.

I'm looking for some advice to help with a particular pick playing problem I'm having please.

The covers band I'm involved with play I saw Her Standing There by the Beatles which I duly play with a pick.  It's one of 4 songs in our set list that I play with a pick, however, with this one I have an ongoing issue with it slipping out of position between my fingers to the point I can no longer play thus forcing me to briefly stop to adjust.   On a warm gig night with slightly sweaty hands this can happen a few times in a relatively short song. 

Has anyone else faced a similar problem?  I'm hoping I can get some pointers on either technique, or tips, on how to solve the problem.

Thanks for the advice so far. Seems like a I might have been overthinking things (again) and the HX Stomp is a good choice. I'll check out the MOD and Boss units too. 

A HX stomp is working really well for me at the moment.  I can't get on with creating / editing patches directly on the unit but hooking it up via USB to my Mac makes it very easy, despite the HX edit software feeling rather dated.

I really like the versatility of the unit, I've gigged with it a couple of times this year using it as a pre-amp/compressor/EQ along with a couple of FX patches but it's also what I've been using for all my home practice with a set of IEMs plugged into the headphone socket.   I wish the filter and synth effects were better but other than that most of the effects sound pretty good and there's a decent selection of bass amps and cabs available.

First proper outing for my mini rig at a coronation street party gig this afternoon.  
Nordstrand Acinonyx short scale bass into a GR Mini One amp and matching 2x8 cabinet.  Out of shot is a Helix Stomp set up as a pre-amp along with chorus and synth effects.

Price dropped to £1700.

Wal recently bought a filter pedal from me.  Money was sent promptly and communication was excellent.  Thanks very much!

AW-3 sold, that's it all the Boss gear has gone.

I've dropped the prices of the pedals

Due to an influx of TU-3's on the BC market place price now lowered to £40 delivered.

Price on the AW-3 dropped to £50 delivered.

Thanks

Revised price - now £1800

Lee just bought a pedal from me.   The whole process was super smooth with payment being sent promptly and friendly communication all the way through.  Top Bass Chatter, thanks Lee and enjoy the OC-2!!

@pluckedout bought a pedal board from me.  This has to be my quickest ever BC transaction, the whole process from the initial DM I received to handing over the pedal board took just a few short hours.   Nice chap to deal with and very accommodating with arrangements.  Thanks very much!

Andy bought a Synth pedal from me this week.  The whole process was super smooth with swift payment and friendly communication. Thanks very much Andy!

Anyone who's interested is more than welcome to come and play the bass at my home. 

I'm also willing to drive up to an hour or so for a meet-up if that helps some of the folks who are further away that are interested!

Just the Tuner and Auto-Wah pedals remaining now.  Offers welcome!

Thanks

Paul bought a pedal from me and the whole process was super smooth.  Very easy fella to deal with and payment was super swift, @PaulHornBass is a fantastic community member, thank you very much!

Aww no, I want it, but don't needit at all 🤣

Everyone needs an OC-2 in their life !!

Haha, that's the OC2 gone then 😁

Not yet - the OC2 is still available

Broughton SV-Pre in excellent condition, boxed.  Great sounding pedal but I'm now using a Line5 Helix Stomp that has numerous Ampeg models included so this is now surplus to requirements.

This is a link to a video review that shows the pedal off really well.
