I mean, I'm not saying that money is no object, but I've worked hard in my little life and bass amps aren't exactly Lamborghinis. So anyway I don't own a bass combo. Can we have just little context? 😁

Well I am looking forward to hearing more about these, and hopefully there might be a Stomp Stadium or something to follow. I like my QC but there's plenty I miss about the Helix ecosystem and I certainly wouldn't mind going back.

Yeah and I was able to do that when I had the rack helix as the wireless and DI and stuff were also in the rack. I guess the floor units would work for me if I went to a bug-style wireless system instead of the Shure pedal-style. Super minor stuff, as Dood pointed out it's a great time to be a bass player and for me to be quibbling over something so incredibly minor. I just wish the Helix stuff was QC size so it could fit on a sensibly-sized board with a all of the other accoutrements that one simply couldn't possibly gig without like a wireless unit, DI/isolator, usb power socket ... 😁

Shame they are still so big. IME both the Stomp and the HXFX are a little too limited, but the full size ones are too huge to go on a board. I should probably try the Stomp XL...

Danny McCormack is touring with one leg* so you've already got him on the... back foot. Hope you get better soon man. *(well, he's touring with The Wildhearts, but, you know what I mean)

Me? No. I have a shirt and everything.

No no no, we're not taking that and we're especially not taking that from a Frenchman. (Or are you just resident in France? Sorry for assuming your nationality) Anyway you guys invented the metric system, that's why it's si and not is!

Indeed, sorry. I do have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about the metric system. Certainly better than one of those! Ahhhhhhh, the iPhone 4? Seems a perfectly sensible height to me. I asked him how much he weighed but then I think that's volume? I'll submerge him in the bath...

Ahhhhh, Tom Crusing it? Good idea. Yeah, when there's a band baseline and normal (whatever that normal is) and then just one outlier it can be a problem. I think we've got it down with the posed ones It's the candid ones that cause issues

One of the many ways in which I hold myself to higher standards than biblical characters.

Urgh I forgot how old everyone is on BC. If you are reading this site via ticker tape then I am 0.000319 leagues (5'9") and our singer is almost 20 hands (6'7").

Last week out was a rare outing for my hard rock band as booked to play a 50th wedding anniversary. I'm not quite sure we were the correct booking but plenty of people danced so whatever. Plagued by some technical issues from the electric kit though, specifically the kick drum trigger. I wouldn't care however we only took the electric kit as we were worried about being too loud, it certainly would have been better with an acoustic kit. Bass: Spector Pulse (G&L L2000 as backup) Rig: Wireless>Quad Cortex plus a QSC wedge beside the drum kit to make some 'stage' sound for us all, especially the electric drummer. Footwear: Black hiking boots. Partly because I hurt my ankle doing some DIY, partly as the load in involved some questionably slippery slopes and mainly because I am a perfectly respectable height but our singer is over 2m tall and I'll take whatever heel I can get.

I bricked my stomp whilst updating so I bought another. I finally got around to selling the old one and that point there was new firmware. I updated it and it worked. Don't give up just yet.

I think I have fewer requirements than most as mine is just for the mixer, no chord sheets or anything. Having said that, I spent £40 on a refurbished Amazon Kindle Fire 10. It works great and I can recommend it for running Mixing Station.

Hi. I haven't resolved it but in fairness I haven't done the due diligence to find out exactly what's wrong, it might be something simple like a loose connection. This thread was spurred on by @Raslee's Corvette that was for sale which came with an extra pair of MEC pickups. I was just looking for an excuse really. I'll take a proper look and update the thread when I get a second.

Oh come on, 'most'? You think we all have nothing better to do than check the classifieds here twelve time a day? Well. Fine. But that's not the point either.

It is. We're just being nice.

Uh-huh. The bestest.

I liked my Spector Pulse so much that I recently sold my Spector Euro. Whenever I fancied playing a Spector it was always the Pulse and never the Euro. They really are excellent basses. So too was the Euro mind, just that I liked the P/J over the MM. FWIW I paid £500 for my Pulse in the correct ultra violet and I sold my Euro for £750, so there are Spectors out there in your price range.

I was tempted to pile up loads of pedals on top of the qc and take a photo. I mean, fair enough though.

Always been curious about those parametric eqs, specifically that one or the slightly larger one he makes. I'd probably also get the tiny DI he makes too ... How are you finding it? Great pedals but have to ask, what are the connectors/cables? In other news I finally got around to putting my QC on a board. I have been using my Stomp-based board through essentially inertia as everything was already set up, but as I find myself not actually in a band, but depping for 3 bands and rehearsing with a fourth, it's all getting a bit messy. Decided to start from scratch, and now with 267% more buttons!

Hi guys. I have a '91 Thumb where the back pickup is crazy quiet. 10-15dB down from the neck. I know bridge pickups are quieter and I know it's right over the bridge, but no amount of adjustment can fix this. I'm going to work with a tech, but if it does need a replacement then which mec pickups are the right ones? Are they just normal 94mm Js? Don't want to change the sound at all. Would the MECs from an early nineties Corvette be the same ones?

IME the Kemper lives or dies on the profile. I remember downloading a vintage SVT profile from some high end studio and standing in front of my stack turned up loud. If you closed your eyes it honestly could be a real (and excellent) tube amp. I profiled my own GK heads from the DI output. The results were less than stellar . There is no reason that the Kemper can't be the best sounding modelling unit out there. The problem, not that it's a problem at all really, is that the same is true for pretty much any of them. I've got a Valeton GP100 that stays set up in my office all the time for when my 'good' gear is setup elsewhere or in the car or whatever, it sounds brilliant.

For what is worth I had a Kemper, bought a Helix, then sold the Kemper. The Kemper seemed hyper focused on exactly capturing the sounds of 'proper' rigs and I just wasn't that interested. I just wanted good sounds, didn't really care about how authentic they were. Both units sounded great, so I picked the Helix as the effects and the ui were much better.

I have the twin, awesome bass. Enjoy it!
