Nice idea but I’m fine with it. A very young Andy Warnock had a look at it like 30 years ago and sorted it switching on and off - there was a time when the active circuit didn’t work. Indeed, I’m sure he fixed it but something in the intervening years could have changed things. I don’t use it enough to be able to work out what needs tweaking. Just gives the old girl character…

It’s great to see Rob in a better place. Strange that #2 is still available. I’d have thought the investors would have spotted that…

Here is my MC 924. I was 21 in the early 80’s and I had a choice between this and a British alternative as a pressy. Sometimes I regret not choosing the Wal… As others have said it’s weighty! This one works passive & active but it seems to drain the battery whether the switch is on or off. Gets taken to gigs as the spare but have recorded with it recently. Still sounds great….

Unity 700 head just arrived, as described. Really quick and good communication. Easy transaction. Thanks!

Can’t help I’m afraid. Have you tried raising this in the Line 6 Helix forum?

Yes, you could ‘brick’ the device. It’s a pain but just do it when you have the time. If you have a Floor, it rebuilds the presets after the factory reset and when you reinstall the backup so take that into account. I start it going then go and have a cuppa. Definitely DONT do it at a rehearsal or gig!

Firmware 3.60 just released. We get… Agua Sledge - based on* the Aguilar® Tone Hammer & Bass Cabs (Single and Dual versions) 1x12 Epicenter - captured from* a 1x12" Epifani® Ultralight series 4x10 Ampeg Pro - captured from* a 4x10" Ampeg®PR-410HLF There is a ‘Dumble Clone’ that guitarists have been raving about too but I’ve not tried it myself…

Does it come with any of the basses? 😉

Can I ask where peeps put the low cut/high cut in the chain? At the end?

Yet….

I have a ‘significant birthday’ this year which has made me start thinking about getting a bass as old as me! Would be a ‘63 Jazz if poss. I guess I could go to No Tom (although they ignored me when I was in there a few weeks ago) or the Bass Gallery as ‘getting one off eBay’ (as if one would come up there!) is probably not a good idea! I’ve scoured the usual places and Reggaebass suggested Andy Baxter but any other thoughts on how I might source one and not get ripped off?

Yes, for me the Bergantino IRs are the dogs doodahs! I like them paired with the GK but as IanA says the ability to have multiple amps and cabs at your disposal (and not lug around) is great!

Unfortunately not. Might have been interested in a Floor & backpack mind. The ‘mic in’ has gone on mine and I have a guitarist mate who wants one and doesn’t care about using a mic with it so we’d arrange a swap. I’m currently using a Jack input live and another interface when I need phantom… GLWTS…

If you need any help getting to grips with the Helix give me a shout....

Aye, ‘‘twas being lazy caused it. Plus I’ve now worked out I have ‘shape’ the nail a bit so I end up with the pad resting against the body rather than the nail!🙄

Good thought. We used to use them in the bank. Might have one lying around at home...

Thanks peeps, I’ll have a look. I’d love to not rest my thumb there but find modifying my technique (if that’s an actual thing!) too hard. Even pass over basses that don’t have a convenient pickup/thumb rest. This is the 1st bass I’ve damaged mind! Thanks again. Wom

My thumb/nail has rubbed the finish off where I rest it on the pickup (note to self - cut your nails more often! 🙄). Any suggestions on how I can a) stop it getting worse and/or b) repair it? Thanks!

Not the same I know but I've been using a WL20 with an 18v Status for 2 years without any problems. It's sounds great (to me). Amazing at sound check as I can go up the back and have a listen. The only 'issue' is where others in the band have them and your try and pair them at the same time. The guitar player does NOT like me rocking out through his rig for some reason! You need a strict 'I'm pairing now' policy...
