Small-ish gig tonight with The Rozzers (Sting & Police Tribute) so just the GR Mini head with SL210. 

Can you share some insights on the mic position/angle? I haven't seen that before, so curious.

Not the best photo, but BB2024x -> HX Stomp ->HB Block-800B -> Eich 212M

I knew the IRs were present in the DI’d signal as well as the headphone signal. I didn’t know they were in the audio interface out.

In fact you get both the clean DI and the IR'd signal through USB as separate channels. A very flexible unit indeed.

i’d like to throw the ShiftLine Olympic Mk3s into the mix. Tube, EQ, DI and CabSim. It’s always on though.

@RigorMortens I've just been asked to re-write my post above by a mate, who is desperately keen to take your 1025x off your hands...so please accept the following corrections:

 

I appreciate the “correction”, but the 1025 has no plans of leaving the premises at this time. 

But after further consideration i would like to ask a follow up question: the difference (in sound) between a 734a in passive mode and a P34? 

I can see the 734 being more versatile with the preamp and being mostly the same specs as its more exotic sibling, i’m starting to question whether that would be a better choice. 

A question to you BB aficionados:

I currently have a 1025x that I really like the sound of, its fat and punchy in all PU positions and it plays great. 

However, its a tad heavy and I never use the B string.

Now a P34 has come up for sale within reach, which seems to fit the bill. BB, lighter, 4 strings, and it's a BB 🙂

Before I throw all my savings after this, I wanted to know if anyone of you have directly compared the sound of a 1024/25 (or 2024/25) with a P34/35? The neck pickup i'm not too worried about, but the bridge PU I'm curious to know how they compare.

My 1025 has a very usable and full sounding bridge PU, that I would hate to be without on the P.

Not a pedal or an effect, so maybe off topic? But I did build it myself. 
 

A midi controlled loop switcher, with dual  switchable inputs (A or B), one always-on loop (for tuner, comp, etc.), five switchable loops, dual switchable outputs (X, Y or X+Y)

Here’s mine.

Working towards more MIDI compatibility.

No worries @Al Krow 🙂 

And @AndyTravis is spot on, 1025x is correct.

I've had it for a few years, in which a number of higher end, more flashy basses have come and gone. This one is not going anywhere.

Did compare it to a 2025x at some point, but I'm not good enough to tell the difference.

@dave_bass5 the F1 is great little head. Hard to beat the combination of performance, size and second hand price tag. I use it mostly at home though. For heavier duty I use my old Trace Elliot head.

Recently traded this Grand Dark in. We’re getting along just fine 😉

Great looking rig. Lots of power and tone in that.

I have the smaller version myself 🙂

Wow. That’s gorgeous!

.... and it is good. tracking is definitely improved on my setup

Same here. Tracking was good before, somehow even better now.

If you are in Arduino-territory, then I'd recommend the Teensy instead, it's like an Arduino with build in MIDI support (Also over USB). I'm using it myself for a MIDI-fied expression pedal, and a (preset)switcher I'm currently working on.

PM on the way
