I'm really keen to try tape wounds with this bass and the Piezo pickup
-
The bass is great and I haven't wanted to pickup any of my fretted basses since getting it. In terms of being lined you kind of have the best of both worlds with the Portamento since the top of the finger board is lined you still get the positioning guide but the main fingerboard remains clean for those classy looks . It's very easy to play, I've not bothered doing any sort of set up as out of the box it was pretty good though I reckon the action could come down a bit, the E string currently sitting at about 2.8mm at the 12th fret. There's a ton of flexibility in the tone as you have the 3 pickups. For general day to day playing I have the piezo muted and neck and bridge at 100%, I've been trying some walking over jazz standards recently and for that I've been using the bridge and piezo (with tone rolled back quite a lot) pickups and neck muted for a more DB'esque sound. Obviously you have the 2 band EQ aswell for on the fly adjustments. Quality seems good overall, I was a little nervous when I first got it as when I lifted it from the box a loose screw fell out. It was from the bridge pickup but I was able to screw it back in and it's not come loose again so doesn't appear to be a threading issue though still seems a strange thing to have been missed in whatever QC checks were done at the factory. In terms of Bax, I didn't get stung for any import duties. Initially I didn't realise they were based in the EU as it's a UK addressed website and the all the contact details (mailing address and phone) are UK based too. Perhaps this is how they get around the Brexit thing. Delivery was delayed as a result however, the initial delivery slot I chose was missed by quite a number of days as a result of the Covid and Brexit issues but I stress that this was days not weeks. I initially tried the place the order via my phone and this messed things up for me a little. For whatever reason the order did not process properly and it half went through but they didn't take payment. Since they only had one bass in stock I couldn't reorder because it had been allocated to my previous order so I had to e-mail customer service. Responses were fairly quick but it wasn't the easiest experience getting them to understand the issue and resolve it. It did all get sorted by the next day but this was an extra day lost.

Hi All, Selling my Line 6 Helix FX units. Great multi-fx solution with high quality modelling. Selling as I recently realised that 90% of my patches were just compression, EQ and octave for which I already have pedals for so the HX FX has just been sitting on the shelf not being used. It's in great condition, never gigged - used at maybe 2 or 3 rehearsals prior to lock down and occasional home use. Original PSU and box included. £10 special delivery to a UK mainland address. I'll reset it to factory default and update it to the latest release ahead of shipping. I also have the following accessories available - Rok Sak Gig Bag for carrying the HX FX around - + £10 - Moog EP-3 Expression Pedal and TRS cable for use with the HX FX (you can configure many of the module parameters to be adjusted by the exp pedal) - +£15 Any questions, please DM me. No trades please. Thanks

I sold Nik a pair of headphones and, like so many here on Basschat, Nik was super friendly to deal with and made the whole process smooth and hassle free. Cheers Nik!

Agreed - very much looking forward to watching this one @Phil Mann!!

Cal bought some microphone accessories off of me this week. As others have mentioned here communication was excellent and the process was completely hassle free. I love dealing with dudes like Cal on BC, it just takes the stress out of buying and selling unlike some other platforms I could mention. Cheers Cal!

Isn't Sean Hurley John Mayer's bassist (when it's not Pino?)?
-
Thanks for this, it covered exactly what I wanted to know (how to have midi and wav tracks) follow the chord track
-
I'll have to give them a watch. Can either of you recall if he's covered chord tracks in detail?
-
I think their arrangements are great. I don't really like their mashup stuff as that's not my thing but I really like their takes on covers, the Pomplamoose Daft Punk covers are particularly good for the most part
-
I was about to dispute the average cover band comment claiming at least they've never done Sex on Fire, then I discovered they have.

1* Stereo mic coupling strip (23550) 2* Microphone Clips (85059) I needed this equipment for a recording project but Amazon had minimum orders on the qty (so I had to buy enough for 2 setups). Selling on the spares, brand new still sealed in packaging. For an XY setup you may also want to add a 5/8 to 3/8 thread adaptor (with a corresponding 3/8 to 5/8 adaptor) as a cheap spacer to raise 1 mic over another as per my example below where I use two. Free signed for delivery in the UK Example setup for XY

Do you mean the number of instruments bundled with the software? Elements has Grove Agent, Halion SE and Prologue. What do Artist and Pro come with that's extra?
-
More simplistically re: tempo and time signatures. In Elements these tracks can only be viewed by opening a separate Window. In Artist you can have these running as separate tracks in your main project window like you would with a Chord Track. It's a convenience improvement but since we do play with time signatures quite a lot it's a useful feature - the tempo track window always feels a bit cumbersome to use.
-
Yeah, that could be why I don't see them, same why I don't see my old 9 and 9.5 Elements licences.
