    The best really cheap bass

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted · Edited by PaulThePlug

    I'd start with a quick look on Gumtree and Faceache... see whats local.

    I loves it... Ibby GSR200 £60ish... Squier P £80ish... quick haggle 'n £50 and £60...

    See whats out there and report back with a short list.

    What sort of music or look do they like... a bass that they want to pick up is better than one they don't

     

    That Maison screams Cort/Ibanez to me... PJ, Active Tones, a more compact body than a Squier P and 'prolly a sleeker neck... I'd give that a Serious Consideration...

    ATTN: Zoom B1Xon owners - Expression Pedal Question

    in Effects

    Posted · Edited by PaulThePlug

    Thanks again...

    I've done a bit of reading... seems others have commented on the same thing... and i think it might be a 'Zoom Known Feature' and the sponge may be a half cure?

    Switch turns effect On/Off - easy such as Vol or Wah, But, B1Xon has Pedal Assignable Parameters, (More So than the B2XFour...) Say Phaser Rate, or Gain as mentioned previously...

    If i understand what others are saying,

    Pressing the pedal switch turns off the Effect - Pedal or Amp-Sim - Rather than turning off the Expression Pedal's action on the Assigned Parrameter, returning to a pre-setting, Rate of 4 or Gain of 5.

     

    Need some time to actually plug the thing in, Maybe Tomorrow?

    Got a Zoom B1Xon... Didn't really need it as already have a B1on, but it was Fish 'n Chips money... couldn't pass it up!

    Couple of Pedal Q's for those that know.

    Pedal as Vol - On-Input, so mimics a std vol pedal, On-Output... what do you use and do you notice a difference?

    On/Off Switch - Button functions on a finger press, but the foam doesn't seem to want to compress with a push with the pedal - Note: I am Mechanically Sympathetic so ain't gonna be stamping or stomping...

    All looks std, factory looking foam to the underneath of the pedal - am i missing a bit of rubber that pushes on the button (Stop sniggering at the back...) or some sort of Button Topper? (You!.. Stand in the corner and face the wall...) Yours any different? ;-)...

    Looking forward to trying the Expression Pedal on Phaser Rate paramater, and on the Gain parameter between say 4-8 on the Marshall Super B.

    Any other words of wisdom on the pedal and it's use, doesn't look like it has the curve choice of the BXFour. Manual and Effects List don't describe much.

    It's 1985...
