Absolutely beautiful!

Love these. I had the four string in tobacco sunburst. Still hate myself for trading that one. 

A Flashback! I’m waiting to get mine back off the guitarist.... what the hell, there’s space on my board!

These keys are sooo good. My mate Kev the Keys uses one of these and I’m mates with some of the Yamaha boys behind it. Proper great bit of kit this....the audio outs are spot on for live work, local monitoring etc. GLWTS!

I’ve just spent an hour browsing the F Bass site. That was a (nice) mistake! 👹

Ah ok! Thanks! Have to confess to never seeing a control set like that...

Curious / stupid question: why do the specs list passive VVT when it’s active? What are the controls and what make is the preamp? Guessing vol, blend, 3 band EQ and passive tone?

When I win Euromilions on Friday I’ll be back within seconds of the winning ticket being confirmed!

@Kev - nice board! Gan look into these Warwick boards, looks like a great solution!

Absolutely perfect. Stunning finish. The ultimate super jazz for me.... GLWTS

Nice design. SA are killing it. I want this. I want an EQ2

Very nice! That’s making use of the ins and put very nicely! So you’re using a computer USB hub so your PC doesn’t need plugging into the various pedals? Smart!

Question: is it possible to toggle a preset on or off from the neuro app? I can’t see how if so.

I’m sat at my desk, laptop on table, bass on lap, setting output volumes across many presets. Would be nice to toggle engaged/bypassed without moving to pedal board or switching to MC6 MIDI app and sending a preset to do it....

At that price gotta be worth a punt.... as long as the cable’s not total garbage (and any HB stuff I’ve had has been decent enough quality) it’s only gotta pass a small signal a small distance. Once they’re in, they don’t move or get replugged of course.

Wow! What a thing, just been reading up on it. Great ad.... GLWTS!

Ditched Schallers: had the original versions... squeaks, lost washers, no good for thicker straps. Dunlops ftw these days. 

Lava Tightrope. Both green and red kits bought used years ago, happily with enough spare cable to do the long C4 > Soul Food run. S’good stuff - they do even skinnier plugs and cable nowadays, plus a DC cable kit too... but that’s a bridge too far I think!

And here’s mine. EHX Deluxe Muff, EBS Octabass and MXR Filter replaced by C4, Morningstar and Hub.

Tuner > C4 > Soul Food > Chorus > Comp (always on). Screwed hardboard underneath and velcro’d/tied the Hub (I don’t need access to the buttons).

Inspired by the standard of recent posters I used adhesive cable clips, a few quid from eBay, otherwise I had all the bits required.

All USBs are accessible. The TRRS cable for the C4 is coiled beneath the tuner. It’s waaaay too long but it’s out of sight. Really, need a max. 10cm MIDI cable but my soldering skills aren’t good enough and that’s gonna be like a £20+ custom order, so “one my mate had going spare” will do!

Enough board estate to add stuff, assuming addition of GigRig Isolator for more outlets.

Planning to add short IEC extension cable somehow “bolted” to the metal frame to the right of the PSU so I’m not plugging / unplugging into the PSU and straining it.

Pleased with this one!

And yeah it’s all about the planning, agreed. 80% plan/think 20% do.

I’m nearly finished my “ditch the muff, filter and octabass in favour of a C4 and MIDI” rebuild.

Pics tomorrow 😀

It took a while to plan out, but the actual build didn’t take long at all, a couple of hours or so. 

Great layout skills there... I’ve got the same board and PSU. Have just read up on the GigRig Isolator coz I wondered how you powered “more than 7 things”.... what a neat solution! I guess it comes off one of the 9v 500mA on the CS7?

I’m maxed on my PSU (I’ve got the 18v>9v adaptor going on) but plenty of board space left... an isolator would sling underneath if I need more outlets. Interesting!

Another vote for the D’Addarios. Lifelong steel user, put a set on my Dimension and I’m never going back. They suit pick, fingers and slap really well IMO. And a reasonable price and everyone stocks them

I want to love Elixirs but due to my massively incompetent pick technique I seemed to shred the coating off them!

The bass player in one of my lad’s school bands uses the 5 string version of this. Sounds great. Love a good Ibby

Too heavy for me these days but this exact model was top 3 on my teens / early 20s wish list. Beautiful. GLTWS

I'd consider them to be the P-bass of the mic world...not always the best tool for the job but you can get something pretty usable for every occasion our of one, take a beating and you can get one pretty much anywhere!

For sure: after the apocalypse, only cockroaches and SM58s will survive 😀

I’m not into vintage Fender jazz basses. But this makes me all tingly!! What a stunner 😍

Sennheiser E935 for the win here. I had an SM58 crap out, and replaced it with the above. Man alive: like Bob Clearmountain’s mixing your live sound.

Everyone uses SM58 coz that’s what yer use. But a few £££ more makes a massive difference IMHO
