The Truetone power supplies are another option. I've used the CS12 with a Stomp and up to 9 other pedals without any issues. I also have a CS7 which is much cheaper and smaller, so probably ample for your needs.

Is this one?

I've tried moises.ai.  I don't currently have any actual need to separate tracks, but the AI tech is fascinating and just for that I'd recommend giving it a go.  I think moises.ai and splitter.ai (and a few others) are based on the spleeter library - there's an overview here https://deezer.io/releasing-spleeter-deezer-r-d-source-separation-engine-2b88985e797e

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Try This free app

it splits the instruments so you can hear just bass etc

not perfect

but its free and helpful .

 

https://splitter.ai/

I've joined two bands this year and have had about 40 songs to work out, transcribe and learn so far. I've used splitter.ai on most of them and it's made the whole process so much quicker and more accurate.

It's amazing what that software can do and has the added benefit that you can remove the bass and use it as a backing track to practice.

For anyone who has not tried it, give it a go. It's free and just involves uploading an audio file.

I have also tried a paid one called lalal.ai which was noticeably better at splitting the tracks so each instrument sounds better in isolation. However, you buy in units of time corresponding to the length of the audio file being uploaded. Some of my minutes went missing though and I got no joy with the customer support, so would be cautious about using it again.

Has anyone else used any other AI based song splitting technology they could recommend?

Just read another post about annoying buyers on eBay and I would like moan about another aspect of eBay... And that is buyers paying near-to-new or more-than-new prices for current-model non-rare second-hand gear and robbing me of the chance to grab a bargain!

 

If I'm looking to buy, for example, an effects pedal, the first thing I do is look up it's new price (including postage and availability) and then figure out what would be a reasonable price to pay for a used one. If a new pedal is £200 online, I won't pay more than £140 for a used one. A used pedal may well have been mistreated, smoked, dropped, soaked, or otherwise abused so the £60 I save over the new one comes with a real trade-off: a risk, a compromise of longevity, a lack of warranty.

 

However, I regularly see used pedals, guitars etc being bought on eBay for the full new price! People will pay the same for a used item than they would for an identical but new instance!!! It literally makes no sense!

 

If you could spend just a little bit more, avoid any risk and get a brand new, boxed , guaranteed one, why wouldn't you?

 

(I'm a hypocrite because a couple of years ago I sold two rather ordinary, current model, freely available Boss guitar pedals for more than they could have been bought for, including postage, online - and probably received quicker!)

 

Thoughts?

I don't list gear for nearly new prices, but sometimes it will be closer to new than to the 70% you're willing to pay.

Lots of factors come into play, such as stock levels of new items (i.e. If out of stock everywhere then my item may be the only option for someone), market rate for the item used (which may be higher than new for vintage gear), demand (these are interconnected), condition and last but not least, how much I want or need to sell something.

If I'm not in a hurry for the money or don't need the space, then I'm happy for it to sit on ebay for as long as it takes until somebody wants it more than I do for a price that we're both happy with.

I'd like to buy this. How much is it including postage within UK (assuming you are willing to post it)?

I've just received a Mono bass case from Dan and it arrived quickly, well packaged and in perfect condition. Highly recommended, thanks!

I ended up buying a TC Electronic Polytune 3 and am very happy with it. I prefer it to a Boss TU2 I used to have as it's easier to see.

I also decided to buy the clip on Polytune for home use and am very impressed with it. I have lots of cheap Korg clip on tuners, but the polytune is much better and easier to to get the instrument in tune.

Hi, how much is shipping? I'm in Essex.

Thrust by Herbie Hancock. Very funky. I found this in a record shop in Bristol a couple of weeks ago. Nice bass playing by Paul Jackson.

Line most strobe tuners you settle for 'close enough'. The only time I try and get it to stop is when setting up for intonation etc. 

I see, so you get used to how slow it is to be close enough.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm leaning towards the polytune, but the Peterson does look good. Is it so accurate as to be annoying to tune with though i.e. it takes ages to get the strobe to stop?

Thanks all. I'm avoiding clip on tuners as I tend to forget to take them to gigs whereas I've never forgotten a pedal board, so a pedal tuner is preferred. Also, the clip on tuners have ruined the decal on one of my Fender custom shop guitars so I'd rather like to avoid that problem! I've also owned about 5 Snark clip on tuners and all have failed. I have quite a few of the cheapest Korg clip on tuners and all are still working (albeit I forget to take them to gigs)!

It looks like the Korg pitchblack, TC Electronics, Peterson and Boss are all worth checking out then. I'll have a look at them 'in the flesh' to see which I prefer.

I've predominantly been a guitarist over my playing life but did have a few years not so long ago playing bass. I used a clip on tuner which was fine, but I did occasionally forget to bring it to gigs.

My bass holds tuning very well and I can tune by ear if needs be. But I like to be able to check the tuning between songs as sometimes, I find that hearing the pitch of the note is quite difficult in some venues and depends on where you are set up.

So I'd like to go down the route of a pedal tuner. I've owned the Boss TU2 in the past, but never used it for bass.

Are there any tuners I should avoid that are not particularly good for bass? I like the look of the TC Electronic Polytune.

I don't need super accuracy, just something quick, reliable and easy to read even in sunlight (if I ever get a bass gig again!).

The HX Stomp is the cut down box, it does have the amp and cab modelling, and also 6 blocks, but some amps and cabs use more than 1 block.

The HX Stomp now has 8 blocks available.

Is this still available?
