Bought a couple of packs of Harley Benton patch cables... good comms, good price, good delivery. Thanks!

For sure, you’ve gone nuclear here. The loop control via MC8 must be sweet. And the hinged lid, hidden pedals thing has 🤯

And Morningstar for the win. I just control a C4 with my MC6. Proper Swiss Army knife.

Wow. I’m calling it: “board of the year”. That’s some next level work there, my hat is off.

Don’t know the Helix but my guess is it’s not a simple plug and play job, suspect you need an additional USB host box. Plus the connection into the C4 is a TRRS mini jack, not a 5 pin din type midi plug. This thread looks useful: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/c4-synth-and-line-6-helix-compatibility.1479600/?amp=1600157254

Don’t forget the C4 needs to plug into a USB host (like source audio neuro hub) unless the Helix provides that function. Not a problem but does mean you may need to budget more £££

I’m facing another rebuild following the realisation that a looper don’t work on the top row. Gotta have that heel anchored, and even then I’m crap! Got one of these: far better than it ought to be for £34! Lekato Looper

BB for the win! I sold a 425. Shouldn’t have in hindsight but the herd was too big at the time!

@lee650.... Niiiiiiiice. Great choices there. I’ve got the MXR Chorus too. It is so lush, and having a flanger is a great addition. Show us yer underside if that’s not too personal? In all seriousness, I think adding pics of the unpretty side really helps folks with ideas.... I know it has for me in the past!

So... the guitarist had my delay pedal for years, and it returned. I bought a Thumpinator from @GisserD coz the C4 Synth puts out crazy sub bass. Max at SFX Sound sent me a new label coz it was shagged. Good work SFX! Thus, rewire and more power required. Had an old Thomann PSU, rewired it with thinner cable and an IEC plug which “folds” away with a bit of Velcro! Glued a shelf to mount it underneath with No More Nails. Board now powers up with one of those Y-split kettle leads. Tuner > C4 Synth > Soul Food > Chorus > Delay > Thumpinator > Comp. So, aiming to keep dynamics through the chain and squash them at the end - comp kicks in on hotttest dry notes and then helps tame the madness when the synth is running! USB hub to save running two cables to the board when programming C4 and MC6. Which is probs overkill for controlling one pedal but it’s a killer controller and it’s let me replace octave, filter and muff. Points deducted for: not having enough patch cable left to make a hidden run from delay > Thumpinator. That green run is visible from overhead 😞. Not buying a shorter USB lead for the C4 and thus having to coil it under the tuner. Not buying a few shorter DC leads. Space after the tuner for (I think) a looper. And I’ve left a 200mA outlet spare. Quite pleased with this one 😎

Sale item is pinned... guess it shouldn’t be?

Ooooooh!! Well I’ll Google it but tell us more!!

Ah, an OC -5! How you finding it, they’re supposed to be mint from what I’ve read?

GigRig ftw. Nice board. I’m getting me an Isolator. No brainer: split one of my 500ma outs four ways, isolated? Yes please. More power

That orange!! 😍

My BTB! It’s so big and heavy it doesn’t get much gig time (well, you know what I mean!) but I can’t ever let it go. Loads of gigs with this over the years, chips, dings, scratches, my thumb’s worn a hole in the front pickup. Sounds amazing too... USA Bart pups and pre. I think they’re real marmite basses these... 19mm on a fiver and a flat neck aren’t for everyone. Let alone the looks. 2005 Korean (weirdly.... not Japan!) BTB1205 Prestige. £760 new from Sound On Sound (I think!) in Feb 2006. 11lbs on the nose
