Never seen those before. Cool bass, even cooler story!

Well thats bonkers. I wouldn't buy one, but I always do enjoy when a signature instrument is a genuine "built for this one person" effort so I can appreciate it.

^^^ what this man said. A Squier CV is more than "good enough" for practicing and gigging, so we really need to know why it isn't floating your boat.

This looks great. I wish Fender (Squier) would offer more P basses with J size necks...

I love Deftones and they're one of my favourite bands, but I'm not that bothered about going to see them - primarily because I'm not sure there's a sound man alive who can make their sound work live. I think I'll settle for the gigs I've already been to.

Exact opposite experience for me. I think this is their best record in years.

If the problem is that you can't hear the external effects at all then it's probably going to be something silly. Check that you are correctly connecting inputs and outputs for starters. Maybe take a photo of everything connected together so we can see what you're doing.

Thanks!

Yeah I've got Hx Native and used to have a Stomp. Helix is good, but it's just not fun for me.

C@Pow_22 Can you tell me if, on the origin effects pedals, the DI (XLR) out is affected by the volume control on the pedal or if it's a fixed output level? The manual is a little bit ambiguous. Cheers

Sandberg Electra VS4? It doesn't sound 100% like a passive Fender but it's pretty close...

Nice, but afraid that just looks like a worse ME-90B to me 🤪 Bass VT DI or Origin Effects definitely still top of the tree. The OE stuff is not cheap though, eh...

Hi guys Before I go and buy a Sansamp Bass VT DI, wanted to see if anyone had any better ideas. I play at home through a powered speaker (Yamaha HS7) so a combined preamp/di box makes the perfect home practice setup. I've got a Boss ME-90B which sounds great but its a bit big for my small office space and frankly I want an excuse for new gear. I've had sansamp gear before so I know roughly what I'm getting but aware there are other bits of gear out there now that do similar things, ie the Origin Effects stuff which certainly looks good. Desirable features for me: 1. Vintage/Classic sounds, in the motown/reggae/edge of breakup indie rock spectrum. If i was a rich man who had a bigger house I'd probably buy a "real" B15 and an SVT and switch between them depending on mood. 2. High gain absolutely need not apply 3. Battery power ideal but not essential. 4. If needs a power supply, dedicated power switch very desirable (i don't like faffing about disconnecting and connecting power to turn stuff on/off) 5. Balanced DI out desirable 6. Volume control that affects the DI out extremely desirable 7. Cab sim on the DI out extremely desirable. Even better if it's switchable/defeatable. The Bass VT DI ticks almost all of those boxes I believe but interested to see if anyone thinks I'm selling myself short...
