I have played some gigs with this setup and I love it. It's compact, versatile and it sounds really really good.

I have used my Line 6 G30 for ten years. It's true that I am lately looking to buy another wireless because the other day was having dropouts. It was just that day and since I changed to RF1, no problem.

My most recent update. I am not sure if I prefer the DCX before or after the Cali76. I usually have it right after the tuner. Yesterday I was trying to put it after the Cali and I am not 100% convinced. I should continue to experiment. Relay G30-->Polytune 3-->Cali76-->DCX Bass-->HX Stomp

I have also moved from the KZ because they were always coming out from my ear. They were too big for my ear. I found the IE100 to be perfect in size. I also have the Mee2 as a backup because they are the same size. I know the isolate (I even used them as ear plugs when the other band was playing because there were too much noise). I guess there was just too much noise. Do you find a huge difference between the IE400 and the IE100? The IE100 sound great, but I think the KZ were just a little bit better with lows. Just a little bit. The IE100 are so much more comfortable.

Hello guys! I have been reading this thread, and I haven't finished, so sorry if you guys have talked about it already (I tried searching for something like this without much luck). Last weekend I played with IEM in a very small club. My signal chain was: Bass-->Pedalboard-->Rolls PM351-->Sennheiser XSW. The thing is that my in ears don't isolate that much which hadn't bothered me until last Saturday. I put foam plugs already and I have tried a lot. Do you guys have any tips to improve isolation? The in ears are Sennheiser IE100 in case it helps.

Yep! And that would make sense if the lights rotate only to one direction. However, if the note is flat, the lights rotate to the left (which they are doing) but the needle says that the note is sharp. Maybe I am not undertanding or seing it correctly, but that's what I think it's saying. If I detune even more, it rotates correctly... I find it odd.

Hello guys Ok, this is a pretty dumb question and I feel a little bit dumb just asking it but... I don't fully understand the Polytune in the Strobe mode. I loved the Polytune interface of the first version but they included the needle and now I am confused. I like the tuner and I use it in Chromatic mode in gigs. However, I was setting the intonation of a bass and this happen: So, the needle is telling me that is sharp, but the horizontal lines are telling me that it is flat... What? It happened in both the Noir and the big Polytune 3. I also have an HX Stomp and I tested against the polytune and... they didn't agree. I added the Planet Waves Strobe tuner to the mix so that I could compare them. I found that the Polytune was the most accurate of them all (checked it also in two different plug-in tuners and my ears). However, what happens in the video confuses me.

Don't get me wrong, I also love it in passive mode. This bass is pretty impressive.

Unpopular opinion, but I like the preamp. I changed the pickups to a Delano set. I took it to my luthier and I asked him about preamp recommendation. He told me a couple he would choose, but he also told me that I shouldn't change it and that I should try it. I'm happy I did because it sounds incredibly good now. It is really transparent. Having the possibility to play it passive is a must for me, but I never do it. I like it active with Delano pickups and stock preamp.

My best purchase was my Fender American Ultra Jazz bass V. My worst purchase might be the TC Bodyrez.

I think they have been going up lately. When I bought my BB414 it cost me 350€ and now they are selling for no less than 500. But you know, all prices are going up

I was happy with the painted neck until I got a Schecter CV5 and a Fender American Ultra jazz bass. Now, I prefer a satin neck. The painted neck is not that bad, but now I prefer a satin neck. I had a BB734 matte black and I have a BB735 and the action can get really really low.

Mine weights around 4.1-4.2 kg.

I really love those basses. I am trying to sell my BB605 but I am not 100% sure. Anyway, those Gotoh tuners are a direct replacement?

I'd never heard of them but they look good

I think the price is really good. I already have their OriginAL preamp and I think it's the same except for the tube. The OrginAL is in a price point where other competitors offer much more features and IRs, so I think they cannot beat them (even though the preamp sounds beautiful, with some flaws like a really noisy headphones out). But it is a nice preamp overall. This new Pro-DI gets rid of the tube to be cheaper I guess. And I like the format with the VU. PS in the Ashdown website the golden OriginAL is cheaper than the red OriginAL.

A lot of pedals probably. Lately, I bought a set of Sadowsky pickups for my Yamaha BB605. Not really a regret per se, but I decided to get another bass and I am selling my BB605 and I sold the pickups. My Schecter CV5 is also a piece of gear that I only have used for one gig and now I am selling. Not a regret because it's an awesome bass. But I have decided to own less basses than I own now and I decided shortly after getting it.

I do the same in most of my patches. I never use cabs or IRs, with the exception of one of my patches built for my acoustic bass.

I've been playing my BB414 lately and I am liking it more. It just feels good. And it sounds amazing. I have used it in a couple of recordings and people loved it. Anyway, I am posting a pick because it's orange and it can be seen from the distance and I find it funny. Sounds cool, plays awesome and it's sexy.

Your videos are always great and I always enjoy them! I must admit that, even though I am a Yamaha fan, in this video, the Sandberg sounded a little bit better for me. But probably in a mix, the Yamaha would win (I have a Fender jazz bass that I love but, when it comes to play with other people, my Yamaha is a better choice). I'd also pick the Yamaha because I really really want a BBP34 in that colour

Yesterday I took my Original again for a gig. I left my pedalboard at home and I played my Yamaha BB414 to the Original to FOH. It sounded amazing. Really fat but also punchy. With the Valve always on.

I have been watching some people playing BB605s because I was thinking about selling it. I really like the feel but I am not really happy with the sound. My fault because I changed the stock pickups for Delanos. So, I watched two musicians in Instagram who uploaded some covers and the sound was just pretty amazing. One of them told me that the bass was 100% stock. The other one told me that he changed the pickups for Sadowsky pickups. The latter sounded like a pretty amazing jazz bass, so I pulled the trigger and I bought the Sadowsky pickups. I will be selling the Delanos. Nothing wrong with them really (I have Delanos in my BB735) but I wanted a more classic jazz bass sound. If I don't like them, the stock picukps will come back haha.

They both look amazing. Man, I just love Yamaha basses... I want them all xD.

I replaced both pickups with Delano. It is an awesome bass.
